A little country

While in Austin we headed north to Salado to visit my Uncle Virgil (Luke) and Aunt Marilyn. They are great hosts and our boys had a blast. They had quite a spread for us, Virgil made his famous barbeque ribs and Marilyn made all the deliciousness to go along with them.

Micah ate A LOT, which is a good since we are trying to put some meat on his bones (his cheeks are deceiving). Marilyn: I need to get the mac 'n cheese recipe from you. SO GOOD!

Went for a ride in the golf cart.

Luke took Noah for a tractor ride. I can tell he is trying not to smile in this picture. He was very excited.

Off they go.

On the way back Noah was steering and waving to us.

Micah was waving right back. :)

We sure did enjoy our visit to the country and spending time with Virgil & Marilyn. Thank you!!

I'm finally posting about our trip to Austin. I kept putting it off because I feel like there is so much to say. Shawn had a work meeting scheduled in San Antonio and announced that we should all get tickets and head to Austin to meet our new nephew Johnny. So we did.

Here's the man of the hour, he is a sweet little prince!

This is the only picture I got of the cousins together and was right after naps, especially apparent from Micah and Molly's bedhead.

Molly was ready to show the boys her pool and stayed in with them for about 30 seconds. She quickly realized that these boys are crazy and wild and high tailed it out of there. Noah is going through an orca whale stage so jumping in the pool is great fun and Molly's two pools in one provided the perfect leaping spot.

Deanna took us to a fun park that had a huge sand pile filled with digging toys and a sprinkler pad.

Date Night

Noah and I had a date night on Saturday. He likes to take pictures in front of the Louis Vuitton store, it is a pretty cool store front. Here he is acting goofy.

Baby

We told Noah that we are going to have another baby tonight. He said he is "so excited" and when I was putting him to bed kissed my chest (close) and said he gave the baby a kiss. Be still my heart. He also says he wants a sister. Hmm, well see how that request works out for him. :)

Noah says

Today we got the proofs from our photographer in the mail. Noah and I were flipping through them and I stopped on a picture of the whole family and said, "Noah, look how happy you look." He responded, "Micah looks miserable." Ha! Micah didn't look miserable to me but he wasn't smiling. I got a good laugh out of that one.

A few minutes of playing together peacefully. Ahhh yes! I'll take some more of that please.

End of Soccer

Soccer ended a couple of weeks ago and I've been meaning to post a wrap up. Unfortunately my camera battery died about 20 minutes after getting to the fields. Noah played in 4 games and scored a goal at each one. Both Noah and Shawn are excited about that stat. :) At one point during the last game our whole team had stopped playing and was over digging in a dirt pile. It was hilarious and a good reminder of the priorities of a 3 year old. The parents rotated bringing popsicles for after the games and messes were enjoyed by all. We had fun giving soccer a whirl and will probably do it again next summer.

All the kids got medals. Micah wore it around for about a week after.

Noah and his friend Emmie. They are always this cute together.
