70.3

Neal's half-Ironman race was in Galveston this weekend at Moody Gardens.  

We had some time to kill so I thought she'd enjoy Rio in the 4D theater.  It was all fun and games until the special effects started.  3D birds flying everywhere, the seats were shaking, and loud noise.  She started screaming "I don't like those birds!  Those birds scare me!"  We left and I hope she isn't going to be traumatized forever.  

Our hotel was on the seawall so we got a little beach action after dinner.  She hated the beach as a baby but thought it was the coolest thing ever this time.  "I see the waves. They coming."  

Our IronGirl woke up not feeling well on Sunday morning.  It's always a dead giveaway that she doesn't feel good when she falls asleep in the stroller.  

Mom took her back to Houston so she could rest.  

Oh yea, the reason we were in Galveston.  Here is Neal coming around the last loop heading towards the finish line.  Good job on the PR!

Audrey Says~April 2015

I put a dress on Audrey to go to dinner and she said "this dress cute."

It thundered at Tiger Trail this week and she was telling me the story. "It go boom! I say Jasmine pick me up. Jasmine say it ok".

"I farted."

"I love you mommy. I like to hug you."

"Ms Gabby say don't open that door!"

She told Jasmine she was going to see Mickey. She asked if she could come too. "No you stay at Tiger Trail."

"Thank you for helping me."

One morning when she needed to wake up for school. "Turn the light off. I still sleepy. I really like my bed."

"I help you."

Surprise!

Sara had an idea to put together a surprise lunch for mom's 60th birthday.  There were a few hiccups but we managed to keep it a surprise.  Or maybe not, but she'll never tell us otherwise. We had a really nice lunch at La Cantina.   

Nana and her girls. Something special about September 17 girls.  They thought it would be funny to send me to the restroom with all 4 of them.  Piece of cake.  Nothing like a little potty assembly line.  Except when one of them tried to flush the toilet and Audrey snapped "No, I do it.  I flush potty."

Any day with ice cream is a good day!

It's hard to see but those are Audrey's little fingers on Sadie's arm.   So sweet to see her put her arm around her. 

Bluebonnets

We did our annual bluebonnet pictures this weekend.

Somebody got away during a wardrobe change!

Kemah Triathalon

We're at the beginning of another triathalon season.  This one was in Kemah and luckily Justin lives there now and we were able to stay at his place to be close.  It was raining the morning of the race.  I debated on going or not going but glad we braved the weather.  

Early morning selfie.  

She became wide awake when she saw her daddy.

Our little champion. 

Best seat in the house.

Oh yeah,  Neal won first place in his age group!

Audrey Lately

Easter 2015

We spent Easter in Corpus to spend some time with Grandma and Ite.

The girl loves staying in hotels.  We bend the rules a little too!

She didn't even mind hunting Easter eggs in the hotel room on  Easter morning either.  I really wish we could have attended church Easter morning.  Our plan was to go to a sunrise service on the beach but the weather didn't look too good.  

Anniversary Weekend

We celebrated our 4th anniversary with a trip to New Braunfels.  

I think we were a little excited to be getting out of town!

Saturday in Gruene was gorgeous! We got to see Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson in the concert of a lifetime.  Two of our favorites!

Although we always have a great time on our getaways, the world just feels right when we pick up these two.

Bonus was a new dress made by Nana!
