Matagorda!

Spring break!!! We spent part of Monday and Tuesday at the beach in Matagorda. The weather wasn't great, but the kids didn't let it get them down.

Devlin buried himself with the help of his brothers & friends. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that he would be soaking wet when he came out of the hole.



Here is a shot of our condo and most of the kids.



Clara eating breakfast for the 2nd or 3rd time this morning.



Clara looking for shells -she insisted on wearing a dress, but then let us cover her up in sweatshirt and jeans.

Aidan at Main Event

Rollin...

Rocks...

Aidan came home from school and emptied his
pockets.... and found about 5 lbs of rocks. No wonder he's so tired
when he gets home.

Dorito break at the playground

I took the kids to the playground yesterday. It was a gorgeous day to be outside. Aidan's friend Zacky came along. The kids all decided they needed a Doritos break.

Aside from a scraped up elbow that Aidan got the minute we got there, everybody had a great time.

I want cheese

Clara found a pair of sunglasses at the playground. She put them on and then walked in front of me, turned around and said "I want cheese". Then she smiled her big "cheese-worthy" smile :)

Fancy Writing

Looks like aidan has been learning cursive in school. Except for forgetting a letter in his last name, his handwriting is almost better than mine!

You spin me right round

Who needs Disneyworld when you've got the spinning chairs at Sports Clips? :) Clara & James entertained themselves while Aidan got a trim.

Brandon's 10th bday party

Here are a few pictures from Brandon's 10th birthday party this past weekend. All of the kids had a great time on their skateboards, bikes, scooters, tricycles & behinds :) The ramps provided hours of fun for all skating, riding & sliding.

Big brother watching out for Clara

Aidan & Clara were sitting in a video game "motion simulator" at Main Event. It was a little scary for Clara, but Aidan was there to protect her.

Saturday was a rough day...

Apparently we wore everyone out on Saturday. The whole house crashed pretty early (for a weekend).

Brandon's Performance - Voices of Texas

play time with daddy

Aidan's first t-ball practice was a couple weeks ago while I was out of town. Clara had fun on the swings, despite the cool weather. Aidan was so excited he wore himself out before they got there... he fell asleep upstairs while waiting to leave.

All clean!

Just a cute picture of Clara showing off her clean hands.

Monkey see...

These are some pictures of Clara goofing off at Dad & Jenny's. She had gotten her outfit completely wet so she changed into one of the new outfits (imagine that!) Jenny & Dad had picked up for her recently. She decided to top this one off with a belt...actually mack brown's collar. She'd been wearing it all day as a belt.

For some reason, whenever Jenny picked up the camera, Clara started this "leaning" pose...

And of course... pop pop and mommy had to play along....

And then we had to show off Clara's skills as mimicking my post-run stretches and ab exercises.

Clara's sleepover with PopPop and Mimi

Clara slept over at Dad & Jenny's a few weekends ago...here are just a few of the many adorable pictures from that night.

Aidan lost his first tooth!

After much anticipation, aidan finally lost his first tooth! After discovering the loose tooth, Aidan diligently wiggled it to help it out. James told him that eating apples would also help.

When Aidan did finally lose the tooth, he was sure to tell me that it came out while he was eating. I asked, "What were you eating?" He replied, "Not apples." :) Turns out he was eating a cookie.

When aidan

Clara helps

Clara decided to help me with laundry last night... here is her stack of "folded" clothes. She takes whatever she is folding and rolls it up. I'm just thrilled that someone in the house WANTS to help fold clothes. I'll take all the help I can get.

Snow day in Austin

We had a blast in the snow after school this week. All four kids made snow balls and had lots of fun chasing each other around.

A snow movie is at the link below... unfortunately Devlin wasn't still enough for me to get any video of him. He was off bombing the neighborhood with snowballs during the snow man making adventure.

That's a good burger!
