Happy Birthday G-Papa!

We miss and love you! Hope you have a great day and can't wait to see you next month!

Trike-A-Thon - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

We are raising money for Brixton's Trike-A-Thon at school Friday, October 12th.

I am participating in a program to raise money to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital find new treatments for cancer, sickle cell and other diseases. You too can help St. Jude continue its life-saving work against pediatric diseases with your donation.

Check back often and see my progress. Thanks for helping me reach my goal for the kids of St. Jude!

(Brix doesn't actually have a trike, but will cruise around his cool scooter, like last year!)
 Our goal is $250 and we are close to the half-way mark!

Sleepover with Olivia

Brixton had his first sleepover at Olivia's last night and I hear it went pretty well.
Although, this was sent around 2am! I think he really wore them out.

 Hopefully they are getting some much deserved sleep this morning!

Mom and dad went to New Braunfels with friends....hit up a German restaurant, including Das Boot, and then went to an outdoor concert :)

Seaworld!

He comes home from school and wants to write letters in his pre-school learning workbook! Very cool =)

I have been working with him on how to write letters, and he is doing pretty great!

Teachers=G Papa, Meemaw, and Auntie Em would be proud! <3

Happy Bastille Day!

We went to the Austin French Legion for Bastille Day fun. Brixton had a ball dancing =)

Gearing up for Olivia's Birthday party!

Brixton and Olivia met and Andy & Bri's wedding way back in 2010.  Brixton saw her on the dance floor and practically made her dance with him! The rest is history.

We are heading to her birthday party and I'll add pics later.  I was posting this because Kayleen (Olivia's mom) told me last night that they went a wedding last weekend, and I guess the groom asked Olivia to dance and she told him she would have to ask Brixton, her boyfriend, if that was okay!! I thought that was hilarious and had to share.  Kayleen pretend to get on the phone and call Brixton to see if it was okay, and told Olivia, it was fine.   How cute!!! :)

Papa's Visit.....

Was over way too soon!
We had sooo much fun while Papa was here!

We went to Zilker Park and rode the train......

Took him to eat at all the quirky, yummy food trucks in town,

Went to SeaWorld...He even rode his first roller coaster there...4 times in a row~!!

The aftermath....

Zilker Botanical Garden

A fun day at Cabela's 

even a pie eating contest!

Downtown with Willie Nelson

 and The Continental Club for some live music!

And lots and lots of cars and dinosaurs!

We miss you already, Papa!!

We grew a

Huge cucumber in our garden!

Our peacock

We have a peacock that lives down the street from us and we can here him all the time and see him every once in a while too! So pretty :)

Fun with friends!

We had so much fun with Tina & Finn on their visit!

First we went to Chuy's, an Austin staple for Mexican food with a funky vibe!

Then we headed to SoCo to cruise around some shops.  Even though the boys haven't seen each other for a year and a half, they were besties right away!

Next we headed to Hey, Cupcake! For some cupcakes from a vintage Airstream trailer.

The next day we went to Zilker Park & Barton Springs to cool down.

and ride the train!

and then to Freddie's for lunch, where they have a playground for the kids!

Later in the evening, we went on a Bat Cruise boat down Lady Bird Lake, to see the bats at dusk come out from the South Congress bridge.  The tour guide even let the boys both drive the boat!

Big, fat donuts for breakfast at another food trailer!

Another evening, Brixton fell asleep and just Tina, Finn and I went out to cruise around SoCo again.

Finn fell asleep in the car and we had dinner at the fabulous Perla's!

Friday was a splash day at school and Brixton showed Finn the goat and pig at his school.

Saturday was the party and Tina and I had fun decorating for it!  Thanks, Tina!! It wouldn't have looked this good without you!! :)

We had such a blast with them! I can't wait for another reunion!!

First real haircut!

Oh man, Brixton got his first major haircut and what a difference it makes! He looks so much older :( sniff-sniff!

He kept moving when Joe was cutting it and it turned out a lot shorter than planned. But as his Papa says "You know what they say about bad haircuts....give it a week".

It will probably be nicer for summer too!
