Live Music Galore!
We have decided it is time for us to start taking advantage of living in/around the wonderful city of Austin, “The Live Music Capitol of the World”. On Tuesday Ken and I went to see Jason Mraz, and on Friday we went to see Pat Green. Yippee! Two date nights in one week! We kept Friday simple and didn’t do dinner or anything, just the concert, and no big group, just the two...
Traffic
What do you do when stuck in traffic? Yesterday while I was cooking dinner I opened an email from Ken and had this…I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
Jason Mraz Concert
Our relationship with Jason Mraz started way back in 2004. He had his first single on the radio, and we had no children. Yes, it is hard to believe… One random night we were getting dressed to go out, and turned on the TV to see if anything decent was on. We turned to Austin City Limits on PBS and saw he was on. Never had Ken and I seen such an amazing act, we were so entranced we...
Sprinkler Park
Ken and I wanted to do something fun and outdoors with the kids on Labor Day, and since it was back up to the high 90’s, we decided water should also be involved. After weighing our options, we decided on the Sprinkler Park. Fun and free, you simply cannot go wrong! The Daddies, it’s so great when they get to stay home! Kade playing cars as usual!Have I mentioned how much I LOVE...
Pre-K, here she comes!
Kacey had her first day of Pre-K on Thursday. On Tuesday we had gone and seen her classroom and met her teacher, Ms. Staci. They are the butterflies! Kacey thought this was very exciting and exclaimed, “I am in her class because she knows that butterflies are my favorite!” She had “homework” to turn in when she got to her classroom, a page all about her. Here are some...
Gig 'Em Aggies
On Saturday Ken went to the Texas A&M football game with Justin’s family and his dad. Ken had a grand vision of body paint, face paint, and maroon wigs. Unfortunately, (fortunately? depends whose side you’re on) his plans didn’t work out, but they did wear the wigs until it got too crazy hot! March In Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band I can’t wait to take the kids...
Baby lock on the fridge?
I was thinking I was pretty fabulous this morning when by 8:15 am had already cleaned one bathroom and was working on the second when Kambry came crawling in and looked like a little vampire baby, purpley red drool dripping out of her mouth…I freaked, washed my hands, grabbed her and ran to the sink to try and figure out what she had in her mouth and clean her up. Sorry folks, it...
I am now...a soccer mom
Kacey’s first soccer practice was Thursday. She was soooo excited, it’s all she talked about ALL DAY LONG. Her coach seems super nice as do the other kids and their parents. In her age bracket, (4-5 yrs) they play 3 on 3, co-ed and don’t keep score. I wasn’t expecting there to be boys on her team, but was pretty pleased to see that she could keep up and run circles...
A girl can never have enough shoes!
On Monday my mom and I went shopping to get the kids new shoes. We had so much fun! Kade got new tennis shoes that light up, and Kambry got a pair of pre-walker shoes. Soooo cute! Now that she is cruising and standing up, I need to make sure her feet are protected. Kacey and Kade on the carousel at the mall. GeeGee spoils them!Kambry showing off her new kicks! Kacey however, scored! She...
New Office
Over 2 years in the making, but the start-up Ken has been working with moved into their new office this week. Ken has his own office with gorgeous views. It is quite the drive, 27 miles each way, but it is so nice that they are finally getting off the ground running! I can’t wait for them to fill up all 3,800 sq. ft with fabulous employees! We went on...
Wicked Good Fun
Last Friday Ken and I went to see Wicked. It was amazing! We left a little later than planned, but managed to squeeze in our favorite Chinese food, Suzi’s. Yummy is an understatement, their sesame chicken is unreal! We walked about a mile to get to the theater, in new shoes…ouch! But we had great seats, and had a wonderful time together. We loved it so much, we are ready to see...
Life's a Beach...
Two weekends ago we made a very quick trip to Port Aransas with Justin and Amy’s family. It was a much needed, too short, but fabulous trip! We left Friday when Ken got home and made the drive. The kids were AMAZING in the car, so much so, that our next 5 road trips are probably jinxed! Because we headed down Friday night, we had all day Saturday on the beach....
