Stockings


So, a while back I had a post about how I made some Christmas stockings for my family. I had a lot of comments about making five instead of four.... Well, we are happy to let you know that we will be needing the fifth stocking. We are expecting another little Stirland to join our family the first part of December. Just in time to use the stocking! We are very excited!

Sea World

For the three day Memorial Day weekend we went down to San Antonio. We decided to just go to Sea World. We had a great time! We had been to the regular park before but we had never been to the water park. We spent one day at the regular park and one day at the water park. Both areas are so big that we easily spent one day at each.
Here's a quote from Ollie, "I liked both days of Sea World and I liked all of it too. My most favorite part was feeding the dolphins and watching them."





Lily loved the stuffed penguins. She got really excited and ran up to them and said "hi".



Happy girl.



Ollie and Lily earned money by doing extra chores around the house. They managed to save $14 over a month. They really wanted to save up and buy some cotton candy. Here's them enjoying the fruit of their labors.



Here's Papa touching the dolphins. Ollie didn't want to touch them. Lily really wanted to touch them but her arms are too short. She just couldn't reach. We all enjoyed throwing them some fish and watching them swim.
