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!


Art Car Parade

Tiger Trail hosted an art car parade for the littles. I won't lie.  When I first heard of this project, I wasn't too excited about it. Especially after searching Pinterest for ideas.  I should know by now not to do that.   We ended up making it a family project.  Neal was the brains behind turning a diaper box into a car and the girls were in charge of decorating it.  She kept saying "I put more flowers Mommy."  It turned out really cute!


Terrible Twos (but not really)

I uploaded the pictures to his post with the intention of writing about the terrible twos.  But the terrible twos only lasted about a week for us.  Here we are a few weeks later and our sweet little thing is back to her normal self.  I don't even remember what I was going to write about.

Birthday Parties

Birthday parties are one of my favorite things to do with Audrey.  She always has a blast and it's fun to visit with people we may not see very often.  
I may or may not be already planning her 3rd birthday.  

We went to Brady's superhero party at Happy Playland.  I knew Audrey was fearless but we haven't been to his place since last summer and she's definitely become more confident in climbing on the structures.  I looked across the room and she was hanging from one of the monkey bars.  I got over just in time to catch her when she let go.  That was a long way down for a 2 year old!
Cupcakes are always a hit!


Next we celebrated Victoria and Charlotte's birthdays at an Equestrian center.  It was pouring down rain but that didn't stop the girls' mommy from putting on the party of the year!  Charlotte is Audrey's BFF and the morning of the party, she woke up singing "Happy Birthday Charlotte, I'd like a cupcake please."   Audrey was the lucky girl who got to ride a 2nd pony in the same week.  Except this one had a bit of a mind of its own.  He was a feisty little thing. He'd show his teeth and then try to take off with the kids.  She rode him (her?) like a champ!
The best picture I got of the BFFs. Another funny was when they 
were passing out cake and Audrey screamed "get in my tummy!"
I got plenty of steps on my Fitbit by chasing this little toot around 
but I wouldn't have it any other way!
