Spring Break

To start out spring break our playgroup took a fun trip downtown. We took the metro train and then took a tour of the fire station and then lunch. It was so much fun!

Riding the metro train down town.

The kids learning about fire safety. I think the firemen were a little overwhelmed. None of them had kids and we brought 20 kids under 5 :)

Peyton and one of his buddies, Sammy at their own table at Spaghetti Warehouse. Our whole group had the trolley car. It was super fun!

Austin Rodeo 2011!!

Baby Tyler hanging out. He is getting so big and loves to ride in the stroller.

The kids thought this playhouse was really cute! I agree it would be really fun to have in the backyard.

Peyton riding on the pony. Hayley was scared and refused to ride, maybe next year!

I never get any pictures of us with Tyler so I had to get one!

We watched the pig races and Peyton was so excited to get this pig nose. He made the best pig noises.



Grandma came in town and took us to Sea World :) The kids were so so excited we couldn't get there fast enough.

The first thing Peyton wanted to do was the roller coaster. Hayley was excited also and said she wanted to go. So we stood in the hour long line and waited to ride. Surprisingly the kids were happy to wait.

Peyton was so excited!

And even more excited to go with this little girl instead of me.

On the other hand Hayley was not so excited and decided not to ride. I'm really not a cruel Mom. I was not laughing at her I was trying to sound excited about the ride. She didn't go for it.

They added a really cool water park in the kids area. It was pretty chilly that morning but that didn't stop all the kids from splashing around.


It took awhile for Hayley to get into the water but it took us longer to get her out.

Hayley posing with the flamingos. I thought her dress fit right in with them :)

We missed getting our picture taken the first day so Peyton was so excited to see him again the next day. Hayley was fine with just looking at him.


One of Peyton's favorite things was the sharks. This is the first time we made it all the way to the sharks. We did Sea World in two days this year and it was a great idea!

While my Mom was in town, Mark and I went with our friends downtown to listen to some music at South by Southwest. We had a ton of fun.

One of my favorite things when we go is to sit back and people watch. This is one of the many fun people that were down there!
To end our awesome spring break, we went to a good friend's birthday party. Belle came to the party and was so great. It was so funny to see how excited the boys were seeing her. Peyton made sure to ask her where her castle was!

Belle arriving, notice Peyton is right up front :)

Belle is teaching the kids how to curtsy and bow.

They loved the parachute.

Hayley has become quite the model. I love this picture of her!

Peyton peeking! Belle totally called him out. Too funny!

I think he might be in love :)

Hayley waiting in line with Kaitlin. It is so funny to see all the kids wait so patiently for their face to be painted by Belle.

Peyton got his face painted like a dragon. He was thrilled.



Hayley wanted her face painted like a princess.

Tyler's First Meal

February

We either didn't have much going on in February or I just didn't have the camera out but here are some pictures from February. I know I have been horrible updating the blog but I just can't seem to find the time to sit down do it. I will try to do at least an update at the end of each month so you guys know what the kids have been doing.



This is Tyler and Mommy's best friend. He loves to play in here and it gives me a free hand. Tyler can't sit up by himself yet so this is a must needed item in our house.

Hayley loves to help me fold clothes. It is so cute and she is actually getting pretty good.

Here is example of how Hayley loves to dress herself. Note the cowboy boots!

Happy Valentines Day!


Peyton loves playing on the iPad. I thought this picture was so cute. Hayley is trying to cuddle and Peyton is determined to keep playing. (Yes, we still have the passy. She is so attached and I am not ready for the battle.)

Pictures

One of my best friends from college came into town to hang out with us for a week. We had so much fun getting to spend time with her and her son, Micah. Micah got sick while he was here but he was such a trooper. By far the sweetest baby ever. Kimber took some pictures of my kids for me while she was visiting. She is super awesome and was so sweet to do this for us. Enjoy!
