Jen & I

Between the gym, church, our kids going to the same school, playdates, and other activities my friend Jen and I see eachother pretty much every day! We are usually in our workout clothes or comfy clothes (as I like to call it) when we are together daily, so we felt we had to document the rare occasion that we were together and all dressed up!

Texas Rangers Baseball Game!

Friday night we took the whole family out to the ball game! We spent way too much on cheesy nachos, hot dogs, pretzels, funnel cake, frozen lemonade, and other food that was really not very good. I would take 2 bites of one thing and go back looking for something better and when it was all said and done we had a bunch of crap for the price of a nice dinner! Oh well, it's all part of the experience, right?? Dresden has always loved watching baseball and was full of questions about what was going on in the game (he follows it quite well)! The twins were a little overwhelmed at first with the crowd and noise, but sat still and were captivated by it all. Fireworks at the end of the game were awesome, not so much for Ena who had Chad by the neck in a death grip the entire time. All in all, a fun family outing!

Batting at the Rangers Game

Dresden got a chance to bat in the kids area at the game. He later told me when he grows up he's going to be a baseball player for the Texas Rangers!

Colorado Trip!

We had a great trip to Colorado to visit family and be part of the Surprise Birthday Party for Grandpa! The kids were in heaven with all the cousins to play with and we were so happy to be there for the celebration!

Smartie Addicts!

Thanks to Grandpa Whitney the twins are now addicted to Smarties! They found his secret stash in his office and every morning it was the first thing they went to. They couldn't quit "Cold Turkey" so Grandpa sent them home with their own little bag, and as you can see above the addiction continues . . .

First Day of Pre-K!

Dresden started Pre-K last week!

Best of Buds!

To be a twin ... is to have a slumber party with your best friend every nigtht! These two just get closer and closer the older they get. It's been so fun to watch as their friendship develops! Ciena is definitely the dominant personality and loves to boss her brother around. Luckily, Coen's personality is such that he allows her to be bossy and they rarely fight. The picture on the bottom is their current sleeping arrangement! Lately they insist on sleeping together in the same crib. I love to listen at the door and hear them play and giggling until finally it's silent and I check in to see them snuggled up together asleep.

Girlie Girl!

Despite the fact that she likes to eat dirt and ice cream off the ground, Ena is such a girlie girl! She loves putting bows on her head and wearing jewelry. It's so fun having a girl!

Miss you, Dad!

We were all feeling a little sad after Chad left to go back to NY on Sunday so Dresden and I made a little countdown calendar till Dad is back home! We love and miss you Daddy!

Zilker Natural Springs -- Austin

We were so happy to see Daddy this weekend! He flew into Austin and the kids and I drove down to pick him up. We spent the afternoon at the Zilker Park Natural Spring Pools. They were a little mossy (I guess that's where the natural comes in) but for the most part a fun family activity.

What do you do when your ice cream cone falls on the ground?

Get on all fours and start licking it up, of course!!
