Cousin Camp, Branson MO

 Hello! Welcome back! 

I've been thinking for a while that I would get caught up, but now I am not so sure..... Perhaps the best approach would be to just hop back in?

Things not documented in the Mot household in the last 7 months:

• Trip to Lubbock for Zach-ie-poo's 30th birthday party. (Jennifer's hubs to be!)
• A handful of Round Rock Express Baseball games.
• More cross country races for Ollie.
• New hikes and exploring in the Austin area.
• Nolan's first baseball team, the Avengers. He was a great little hitter and had a fun season, but he declared baseball boring because there was not enough running. 
• I coached another season of robotics with 4th and 5th graders.  
• Seth's birthday (15!!!!)
• Austin FC Soccer game for Jon and Ollie.
• Our next door neighbors' wedding.
• We got the kids passports for Jennifer and Zach's summer cruise wedding!!
• Trip to a little amusement park in Austin for Nolan's buddy Justin.
• Halloween fun
• Ollie's first football season. He made the A team and was a wide receiver. 
• Jennifer and Zach came to visit and we got to blow glass pumpkins in Salado.
• Thanksgiving fun in San Antonio with M&M, Uncle Eli, Auntie Alexia, and sweetie-pie Emmy. 
• First NBA basketball game for the boys. Go Spurs!
• Nolan had a small performance in the 2nd grade Christmas performance. 
• Basketball season for Ollie. He was pretty sure he wouldn't make the team, but had a blast being point guard for the B team. 
• Nolan also played on a basketball team and was a dynamo! 
• We participated in a Harry Potter themed where-I-go event in downtown Austin.
• A trip to SeaWorld with some friends.
• Momo and Mimi came for Christmas and stayed in a Georgetown Airbnb. We had lots of fun exploring the Georgetown square with all the Christmas lights, checking out new restaurants, going to the movies, and hanging out. 
• Quick trip to Missouri for New Years' Eve.
• Ollie started track and ran the 2400 and 1600.
• Nolan was awarded a Hippo Way award at school.
• We cheered the Chiefs on to another Superbowl. 
• Guest muralist Tim came to HES and Nolan and I helped with a school mural.
• We went to a Harlem Globetrotter's Game. Nolan was disappointed to hear he couldn't pick the Globe Trotters for his March Madness champion.
• Nolan's birthday (8!!!)
• Seth started Martial Arts again and is loving it. 
• Tennis started for Ollie.  
• Soccer tryouts for Ollie (He made the team and clenched his spot as the only boy in the school to make every team.)
• Spring Break! 
• We celebrated Miriam getting married. 
• Girls weekend in Lubbock for Jennifer's bachelorette weekend.
• A night in Paris, Texas on our way to Cousin Camp. Maybe someday I'll post our pictures of an 80 foot Eiffel tower with a cowboy hat. :)
