I found these pics on my point and shoot card of when we took the kids out to a outdoor mall in North Austin. I loved all the artsy stuff!

Olivia's end of the year party

Olivia had her end of the year party this weekend. It was at a classmate's ranch house in Johnson City. The weather was perfect and the kids had so much fun. They did paddle boats, fishing, a hayride and swimming in the natural spring creek.

This is their beautiful ranch house. It is on 200 acres. wow!


This is their backyard










Don't you love his new camera smile??!!

Pool Party!

Saturday night we went to a friend's awesome new pool! Chad, Taylor and the girls were there along w/ my parents and others.

Dog Park

We took our little, nerdy weenie dog to the dog park this week. At first we were a little intimidated by all the big, muscular, sophisticated dogs, and there were a few times Lane acted like Blaze wasn't with us, but Blaze held his own and made us very proud.

Capitol Sneak Peek

This past week I got to photograph some precious, very well behaved kids at the state capital. Most of my pictures of the 2 year old were on the run, but he was so cute you just can't take a bad picture of him! And the little princess was such an angel. She is wonderful in front of the camera. Thanks to their mom for the honor of taking their pictures!

Eeyore turns 45!

On Saturday (before the homeless) we went to Eeyore's 45th birthday party. I have never been, but have heard a lot about it - so kinda knew what to expect. Eeyore's bday is not just for kids. I mean, there were a lot of kids there and a lot of adults that had kid-like behavior. I can picture Luke and I when we are 80 going out there and just sitting off in the back people-watching. It was great, there was a lot of craziness going on.

Best part - the food!

I just wonder what they do when they are ready to get off. Just fall over? hmm...

"Kids, please don't get sick here."

Saturday with the homeless

On Saturday we went and helped feed the homeless grilled hamburgers with our church. Luke and I took the older boys and left the little ones at home. We all had such an amazing experience!! The majority of the people we served were so kind and grateful. We couldn't stop talking about how wonderful it was on the way home and how we look forward to doing it monthly!
