Whatcha Lookin' At?

This picture of Kenna just cracks me up!!!

So, lots to catch up on... In no particular order....

We met Jenn and Eric (along with my parents) in Waco to catch up on birthdays, Jenn's trip to Greece, etc... We enjoyed a great Cajun lunch and got to open lots of goodies from JennEric.

Bo took Carrine out for a very nice birthday dinner!

Lots of playground time since the weather is so nice! (And, check out Drew's clothes that, of course, he picked out himself!)

Dinner out for my birthday!

Carrine made me a strawberry cake for my birthday ~ mmmmm....

Drew and I went on "The Great Balloon Hunt". Balloon Festival was a few weeks ago, and we enjoyed driving around chasing hot air balloons!

One even landed in his school parking lot and he thought that was so cool...


And, finally, Drew just had his first annual bike-a-thon at his school! He did 18 laps!!!

Our top fundraisers and my good friends, The Spauldings! Ron, Rayne and Sadie! Go, Rayne, with your fundraising skills!!!

This is my "partner in crime" Stacy... We get lots of shopping time in while the boys are in school! We had the best looking "sign girl" of the day!

This is our "after school" group - Skyler, Slader, Josh, Luke and Drew. The boys like to gather by these benches after school and play. Most of these boys have been in the same class since they were 18 months old, but will all go to different schools next year!

Worn out after a long day of biking!

Hope everyone is enjoying this weather! I know we are!!!

Great Friends, Great Weather

A few years ago, I met a business associate (April) for lunch. During our conversation, we discovered that both of our husband's had an interest in paddling (kayaks/canoes). At that time, Bobby was just getting into it and her husband, Jason, had apparently been doing it for several years. That lunch led to the boys e-mailing about paddling, which lead to them meeting to paddle. April and I actually never saw each other after that day, as she left that company soon after to go to work for another company. Over the years, however, I have seen her husband and her son, Ayden, several times at races, etc... This past weekend, we had them over for dinner. What a delightful time (did I really just type DELIGHTFUL?)! However, it was! We found out that not only do BOTH of our kids have birthdays just one day apart (Ayden - Feb. 24, Drew - Feb. 25; Eliot - July 11, Kenna - July 10), but April and I both are account managers in telecom and our husbands are both project managers!!! Now, Ayden is 2 years older than Drew and Bobby and Jason work in different industries, but come on - weird huh? (Insert the theme to the Twilight Zone here!). We truly had such a great time with them - we have a lot in common, and I am so looking forward to getting to know them better. We'll see them again tomorrow (Saturday) for The Trinity River Challenge (kayak/canoe race), and we also have a short trip planned in December. Drew loves his new friend, Ayden and wants him to "Come spend the night sometime".

Ayden and Drew - new buddies!

Love this... the guys both feeding the babies!!

Eliot (Ellie) Awww....

Last weekend, we also headed to the pumpkin patch. It was in Selina, which was a longer drive than I thought it would be. Drew had a great time, though, and some of these pictures from that day still make me laugh. He was scouring the field for that perfect pumpkin! It was a little windy and overcast, but cool. I so 'heart' this weather! I bought a yummy creme' brulee candle from Williamson County Candle Company and I have been burning it everyday while enjoying this nice weather that we are FINALLY getting! So, enjoy this weather, enjoy these pictures and until next time.... :)

This cracks me up...

Hmmm... too small.

Nah, these don't feel right.

I think this is the one, Mom!
