Seaworld

The last weekend in August we had the chance to go to Seaworld for what I am assuming will be the first of many times. It was Sam's birthday (Zaylee's cousin that just moved to Austin for those of you that don't know...) and Tracey and Ben invited us to go with them. We had so much fun!! We didn't quite make it there when it opened (even though we live less than 10 minutes away--yes, we can see the rollercoaster from our back windows) but we did stay until almost close. We loved it. So, here are the photos:

We went to both the Shamu and the Azul shows. They were awesome. However, I think honestly we all liked the Azul show best. We decided to go to it last minute before we left the part and we loved it. It was a VERY cool show! (Tracey, I highly recommend it; however, it does have a few spots where birds fly overhead. We could warn you and you could close your eyes....=) ).

These are the photos from the Shamu show:






And these are the photos from the Azul show:




There were also divers and other little acts inbetween things that were VERY cool but I didn't get any photos--too busy enjoying! =)

Favorite animal spots? Well, Alex and I both agreed that our favorite were the Sea Lions. Very cool!





Zaylee's? Well she never said, but she keep talking about the sharks so we'll assume that! =) Didn't get any good photos from that but here is one that kinda turned out! =) The one underneath I included just because it looks FREAKY!




After playing in one splashpad area, Zaylee decided it was time to go to the waterpark to play. We played at there for almost 2 hours and of course had a blast there but the camera didn't get to participate so no photos of that. We'll definitely go play there again though! (These are at the splash pad...)





And finally (but really it happened at the first of the day....), Zaylee got to go on one ride while we were there--which she absolutely loved!!!--






By the end of the day Zaylee was starving and exhausted. This was her final snack--popcorn. Here is her hoarding her popcorn. She WOULD NOT share! It was hilarious! =)


Thanks for inviting us Tracey! Seaworld: I'm sure we'll see you again sometime soon!

In our own backyard.....

So my mom has been wanting pictures of the inside of our new house but I haven't taken any. However, I did get some of the backyard! This was the highlight for Zaylee of moving into this house. She was SO excited when she first looked out her bedroom window and this is what she saw:



"MOMMY THERE IS A PLAYGROUND OUT THERE!!"

She hasn't been able to play on it much yet because it has been too hot and humid but from what she has she loves it. We are looking forward to it cooling down a bit so that we can get all the weeds out of the sandbox underneath it and start having some picnics on the picnic table underneath. Anyone want to come play?? =)

Dallas Cowboys

One of the best parts of moving to San Antonio? Alex is finally amongst his crowd....San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Cowboys. What could be better than that?? (At least in Alex's opinion...). He loves the painted driveways sporting the Spurs and the Cowboys, being able to walk into almost any store and see the paraphernalia of the two best teams in the world, and being able to attend Cowboy's training practice here in San Antonio.

That was one of the most important things that we did during our first couple weeks of being here. =)




Clear over on the other side of this photo in the white jersey with the coach standing in front of him--he's bent down looking the other way--is where you will find the infamous Tony Romo! To his left--stretching along with everyone else--is one of my favorites....Jason Witten. Yes, that is as close to them as we got! =)


And then my battery died. All the other photos I got were crappy and blurry! Bummer huh! Oh, well. It was still fun! =)

What 3 months can bring....

-- A new car! YEA! and not so yea.... Sucks when one breaks down right before a big move, but nice to travel in a new car!



-- A COT graduate and a new job! YEA!!




-- A move to San Antonio, TX ~~kinda yea!!~~ =) (Sorry no TX sign picture)

-- A new house (to rent)! YEA!!



-- 31 weeks of pregnancy (well that didn't happen in 3 months but that's where I'm finally at!) YEA!!



A lot of good things going on around the Gubler house. These are the highlights. I'll be posting hopefully reguarly for the next few days to give a few better updates but until then....that's what you have to look forward to hearing about.
