The Caires!

 

Look who came to see us!  It's been a few years since we went and visited the Caires in Costa Rica, but they are the type of people where it's like no time has passed.  We enjoyed our quick visit and maybe next time we will be visiting them again on their turf in Peru.

Soccer (last) Saturday!

Introducing.... the COYOTES!!

 

Annnnnd the STARS!! 

Meet Wren!

Wren! 

8 months old, super inquisitive, starting to crawl and explore, banana lover, and a fantastic sleeper!

She does some super cute classic baby stuff like make a baaaa sound then rub her fingers on her lips to make a bubbly sound.  Adorbs. 

 

Apparently not a Spiderman lover. 

This was also her expression after I gave her some rice cereal. 

Ollie's Big Day!

It happened, it happened!  Ollie is now a bonafide no-training wheels, bike rider!

 

These are a few of our Favorite Things!

Ollie and I have been trying to stay busy without Seth!

Note there are no training wheels in this picture. Ollie has asked to take them off and put them back on about three or four times now.  He has made some progress, but I won't lie. It's been slow going. Maybe soon!

Family Day: Four Years!

Welp, we went out to dinner last night to celebrate family day and not a single picture was snapped.   

We went to a restaurant that both kids and adults like (rare!).  The winning factors are good food and a patio with an enormous sand area.  Honestly, it felt more like a date with the kids scarfing their food in 4 minutes and spending the entire evening digging and making friends in the sand, while Jon and I had a leisurely dinner and got to talk (rare!). 

We probably would have looked a lot like this, only you know, with bodies.  And handfuls of sand thrown in our hair.

  Family Day 2015

 

Catching Up!

It's been weeks since I've done a real post!  Things are busy as usual; here's what's been going on around these parts. 

 

Ollie's buddy, Sam, had a superhero/fire fighter birthday party.

 

The boys, excited about matching on a Sunday morning.

 

Ollie's art and work from the first day of school.  

 

Cruising on an awesome ride in the school gym. 

 

Enjoying his birthday club treat from Barnes and Noble, while rocking a new Thor costume, compliments of Uncle Josh.   

 

Crazy weird finger infection Ollie got.  We are on antibiotics and a topical antibiotic and it's looking much better these days.   

 

Jon had to have surgery, but is almost back to 100%.

 

First soccer game for the Coyotes! 

 

First game for the Stars!

 

Jon's new work trailer that he is about to drag all over Texas.  Snazzy, huh?

We have a green pepper, people!  Plus 10 jalapeños!  

 

And last but not least, our first Tech game!

 

 

 

 

 

Here's hoping the next ten days aren't as busy!

First Day of Pre K!

  Sam, Ollie, and Casen, ready for action!

                And yes!! He loved it!
