Two Videos from Andrew's Soccer Practice!

Here is a bit of video from Andrew's 1st soccer practice. This was just taken with my digital camera, so pardon me if the quality isn't the greatest!

Here is Andrew playing goalie during soccer practice!

So much to do, so little time!

It's been busy lately. Seems like there is something going every day and we are all just plain worn out!! But, Easter is in a few days and then Austin's first birthday, so onward we go :) I haven't updated in a while, so this is LONG!!

Just a normal day with Austin playing :)

Close-up!

Here is Austin playing before we went to the kids pep rally.


This is how he reads - he absorbs the books through his mouth - yummy!

Austin with Andrew and his classmates before the pep rally. Can you tell that Austin was the center of attention - AND that he loved every minute of it?

The kids had a field trip to the livestock show and Wade and I drove. Here is Avery on a mini tractor!

And Andrew!

Avery and Andrew along with their friends Kendall & Trey.

Just a cute pic of Avery!

Andrew pretending to drive a big 'ol John Deere!

Big wheel - little boy!

Avery's turn!

Big wheel, little girl!

Ok, this picture is weird. As many of you know, Austin likes to eat his feet. On the way to San Antonio, her fell asleep with his foot in his mouth - NO JOKE!! It was hilarious!

Daddy and Avery with the Mexican Soldiers. The weekend we went to San Antonio was the anniversary of the fall of the Alamo and so they do live re-enactments.

This is the big T-Rex at Ripley's. It moves around and roars. Andrew has been unimaginably scared of it since he was a baby. This year he summoned up the courage to stand this close to it!

Daddy and Andy at the Rainforest Cafe on the Riverwalk.

Mommy, Avery & Austin at the Rainforest Cafe!

Oooooohhhhhh - FOOD!!!

Daddy and Avery at the Rainforest Cafe!

Despite the water being cold, the kids and Wade went swimming every evening at the hotel. I took this pic of Austin the first night as he sat in my lap.

Avery and her new swimsuit! Did she really forget hers at home, or was she just hoping we would buy her a new one???

Andrew at the pool.

Daddy and Austin early one morning. Wade never minded feeding him in the mornings because it meant he got to stay in bed a bit longer!

The kids with "Davy Crockett" in front of the Alamo.

Wade & the kids in front of the Alamo.

Austin was such a trooper at Fiesta Texas!

Andrew at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Austin at the Hard Rock Cafe - he got too much sun at Fiesta Texas!

Austin fell asleep at Natural Bridge Caverns - what a heavy load for me!

Avery & Andy at Natural Bridge Caverns. If you look closely, you can see Avery's foul face - she was so mad to have to take a picture with her yucky brother!

We stayed at the Menger Hotel. This is the inside of the historic lobby as you look up.

Another shot of the lobby.

The gardens at the Menger Hotel.

Avery and Austin inside the Menger Hotel.

Austin was so tired that he played for a bit and then fell asleep in his play yard!

The kids posing for a picture along the Riverwalk!

A few weeks ago I went with Mom and Dad to spend the day with Grandpa! Austin really likes Grandpa and Grandpa loves him :)

There were some bluebonnets at Grandpa's house, so we posed Austin. He didn't cooperate too much - he wanted to eat the flowers!

Avery's reaction to scoring a 100 point roll at the skeeball game at Chuck E Cheese!

And the birthday boy!

Andrew opening presents on his birthday. This is one of the Webkinz he got from us.

Soccer stuff!!

Eating at his birthday party at McDonald's.

Andrew got an inflatable punching bad from Nonny and Poppy for his birthday!

My cute little redhead :)

Mom also has these inflatable body boppers. It was hilarious to watch the kids ram into each other!

Mom helping Avery up!

Andrew after a tumble.

Andrew changed into his Batman costume from Uncle Rob and Aunt Jen to open his presents from Nonny and Poppy. Why you ask? I have no idea!

Austin loves to eat, plain and simple. Here he is eating lunch one day.

At the Fine Arts Fair at school, Avery went as Susannah Dickinson, one of the survivors of the Alamo.

Andrew went as Davy Crockett. Wade made his whole costume!

A few weekends ago we got together with Wade's family to visit his grandparents gravesite. Here is Austin and cousin Mia with Uncle Tim and Aunt Wadine!

Andrew, Avery and Mia at the gravesite.

Yesterday I watched Nathan while Jen substitute taught at school. Here are the 2 boys playing!

The boys eating lunch :)

A VERY cute picture of Nathan!

I was watching the news at noon and realized that so was Nathan!

Andrew had his first soccer practice yesterday. Here they are warming up.

That's it for now!!
