The Spanish Govenor's Palace, Downtown San An, built in 1718(ish).
(And here I thought all Spaniards were short)

Up the stairs

where the big barrels are stored. This little loft area was used for storage.

Blah!!! Nice Face!

An antique cabinet

The original doors! Sweet I think

Some of them were this large

And others were this small

see what I mean? (this is the same door I'm under in the above pic)

They didn't want us to use flash inside so it was really hard to get a good picture, but it was a really neat place to visit and see.

How they ground their wheat to flour

out door fire place

Love the green color of these vases!! Just beautiful

Make a wish

Down on the riverwalk once again. This time I ran into Kaw-Liga the wooden indian (ok, so I think he was actually wax) but Donovan was thrilled that I had my picture taken w/ "Kaw-Liga" and wants it hung on his wall!! Cute boy!!

Honey, I took this picture for you!

The Cathedral downtown on the Riverwalk

And this picture is for my mom who loves purple!! This was a little shop in the Riverwalk Mall. Most everything in it was......you guessed it~PURPLE

shots of the kids, she is growing up so fast

Donovan has lost his 2nd tooth!! Isn't he handsome?

And Christmas and Christmas Eve

This is a perfect picture of the kids, I love it!! (The cat even cooperated!)

And ya gotta love Lainey!! What's not to love?

And Bryan w/ the Cat's Christmas collar around his head???

Let the fun begin

If all else fails, use your teeth to get the wrapper off!! So she did

oh, so funny

Lainey and Rebekah were so excited about their doll house!!

And Donovan was just as excited about his "real" looking gun! ( I found it at a garage sale for a buck) No pun intended. :)

And Lainey w/ her unicorn

And Donovan w/ his "Killer Creatures" book

Rebekah took these next couple of pictures

The cat even likes the new doll house

Back to my photography! Donovan asleep in prayer pose again!

Lainey setting up camp on the love seat w/ Chubble, and he actually let her for once!

Doesn't he look so enthused?
