Iron Man

The Houston Zoo hosted Iron Man and Spiderman last weekend. 
Nic fulfilled one of his dreams that day.
The hug is my favorite picture.

Gymnastics Fall 2013

Nic and Kate started their second year of gymnastics.

They are so excited!

Kate loves the bars.

We couldn't get Nic to stop "Skinning the Cat".

Shadow Boxes

I finally made Kate's first ballet recital and Nic's "Day out with Thomas" shadow boxes.

I can't wait for them to see them!

Meatless Mondays

So with my very much enjoyed time at home the past week (before I start the new job), I have decided to get the family on a more scheduled menu. Mondays will now be better known as "Meatless Mondays". To kick the week off right, I have made breakfast oat muffin cookies, and OMG they are fantastic! 

Now how to hide them from David so they actually last longer than tonight?

Rocking life

Superman, with Batman mask, aviator shaded, and rocking the headphones. Life just doesn't get any better.

Hook and Croc

While getting dinner ready, the kids dressed up and started playing "superman" pirate and the crocodile. 
I wish these times could last forever.

Yard Work

Somehow I think when we find our new house, our yard will never be this small again.
Yes everyone, you are looking at our entire yard.
But mark my words, the new house will have a POOL!

First Ballet Shadow Box

I finally made Kate's first ballet recital shadow box.

Her cute little feet will never be this small again.

Lost Pines

We had a fantastic time at Lost Pines Resort.

It was our second time this year and we already can't wait to go back.

The kids loved the balloon swords (until they popped)

 Picnics on the porch! 

 And we can't forget the S'MORES

 The night movie was Snow White.  

Kate was so excited that she watched her first movie outside on the grass.

Snow White was even there having s'mores with everyone.

I think my best memory of the entire weekend is when Nicholas started talking in his sleep at 2AM and said, 

"No, Snow White don't eat the apple!"

And we can't forget the amazing swimming pools, water slides, and lazy river!
