Gracie's 1st day of preschool

Mom's 3rd triathlon!!

Mommy did the Austin Triathlon on Labor Day. We went downtown to watch her. She did it with Wesley's mom, Mrs. Given who placed 3rd in their age division!! Mommy's times were as follows:
700meter swim: 21 minutes
17.5 mile bike ride: 1 hr, 7 minutes
5k run/walk: 46 minutes

Pretty pretty princesses!

Gracie and Meg both love to dress up. Here is the evidence.

First day of school

First day of school is here again! Adam is in 1st grade this year and Alex is in 3rd.

Nothing like a nice bike ride up to school on a cooler morning!

A birthday pool party!

Adam had to have a football and Spiderman on his birthday cake this year. Adam and Marshall enjoying opening presents:

Cake time!

Swimming fun with friends

This was Adam's first "boys only" birthday party. Boy oh boy!

A special birthday dinner celebration

Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Art came to meet us at Chili's to celebrate Adam's birthday. Adam's favorite place is Chili's and it was an extra special treat to get to have Grandma and Grandpa come and join us.

Happy Birthday to our little Rooty Toot!

Our Rooty Toot is 6 years old today! He is ready to be a big first grader this year. We had an early morning celebration for him including presents and chocolate chip pancakes. Yum!

Some new games for the Wii! Score!

Sweet, sweet little boy. :)

Mommy's triathlon

Mommy did her 2nd triathlon, the Sweet and Twisted Women's Triathlon, this weekend.

This is one of Mommy's friends that she met in spin class at the Y:

Halloween???

Gracie got a hold of Alex's old skeleton costume and tried it on for size. She looked so cute because the costume is about 6 sizes too big for her. She kind of reminded us of E.T.

Joint birthday celebration

It was Tyler's birthday on July 28th and Adam's is coming up on A ugust 22nd. We combined the two dates and had one party for the boys. They were both in hog heaven since we were celebrating them. Here they are, patiently waiting for cake. All the cousins:

Singing happy birthday. Tyler was a bit impatient and couldn't wait to blow out his candle. :)

Our sweet little Adam is almost 6 years old! He is our rooty toot tooty for sure. The cake was chocolate with chocolate filling and chocolate frosting. It was delicious but Adam said, "It is a little bit too chocolatey." Wonders never cease.....

More fun at Sea World!

We all took a trip to Sea World with Tasha and her sister, Vanessa, Gramma Esther, Tyler and Cash. It was a hot day and we even got to try out the water park. Gramma is wearing the yellow shirt here with her hands in the air. She's so brave going "no hands" on the Shamu Express!

It was Tyler's birthday and everyone on the roller coaster and waiting in line sang happy birthday to him.

Blue Angels

Here we are as pilots of the Blue Angel planes. God bless all our servicemen and women!
