What we've been up to...

We've had a lot going on lately! Between two kiddos and life, I haven't blogged as much as I would have liked to! So here's a random picture update of what we've been up to!!

We have a girl who loves to be read to.

We have experienced Texas thunderstorms!

We have a brother and sister who are really starting to play well together!

We now have a toddler whose personality is coming in full force! We love it!!!!

We recently experienced the yummy goodness of Chuys! So. So. good.

A walker who keeps her mama busy!

And a silly boy:)

And a girl who loves to play baseball with her daddy and her brother.

And we went to our first UT home game when they played Oklahoma State!

Yummy cold sno cone. It was hot!

And thankful for Kelly and Bryan, who watched Kinley for us while we were at the game.

At the doctors, both kids got suckers:)

And Brady got sick in the car on our way to the doctors. All I had was Tommys shirt. It was an eventful morning.

AND I have the BEST HUSBAND EVER. He let me spend an entire Saturday at the Austin Lakehouse Spa. It was heavenly. I enjoyed relaxing by the pool, getting a massage, sitting in the hot tub and steam room, the yummiest lunch, reading a book, and all the cucumber water I wanted. It was so nice!!!!!!!

Sweet Berry Farm-Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend, we drove about a half hour to Marble Falls. The CUTEST pumpkin patch is there! In the springtime, they have a berry farm, where you can pick their strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries! So cute. We had a great family day at the pumpkin patch:)

Sweet boy.

yep, Kinley thought the goats were doggies. she was in her happy place

This girl is quite the daddy's girl.

Love this.

Mom, this is a little heavy....

She loved the pumpkins and kept calling them "ball"

Welp, we have a full time walker. She went from taking just 6-8 steps one day, to full blown walking a couple days later. I guess they just walk when they want to! Since taking this picture, i finally found some shoes that she likes and will walk in. Crazy girl.

I love old trucks like this. So does Brady:)

Brady got to pick out three mini pumpkins because he is three. And he gave Kinley one because she is one. That was Brady's idea;)

So cute, right? I love that it was pink.

They loved their pumpkins. And apparently enjoyed talking about them:)

Kelly..and baby Cohen

We are thankful to have met some really awesome people here. I had to do a post on how I met my friend Kelly...who just gave birth to a sweet baby boy, Cohen.

Every Wednesday, some of the ladies in our young married class at church, get together somewhere for a playdate. Some days it's the splash park, some days it's Chick fila. Our first week here we met at a indoor bounce play place for the kids. I had only met some of the girls one time. As I was trying to keep track of Brady, I noticed this girl kinda staring at me, wanting to make conversation. This is, pretty much, how our conversation went :)

Me: Hi, are you in Link?

Kelly: We've been once, but we just moved here.

Me:oh really? So did we. Just last week actually

Kelly: Oh wow. My son and I have been here for a month, and my husband just got here from Dallas last weekend. He just started his new job yesterday.

Me: My husband just started work yesterday too.

Kelly: What does your husband do?

Me: He is a dentist.

Kelly: Wait he's a dentist? So is my husband!

Kelly: Let's be friends!!

:) We are so thankful to have met the Kelly and Bryan. We have a lot in common and really enjoy hanging out. She had Cohen the day after Kinley's birthday. And they already have a boy, Hudson.

Zilker Park. Austin, TX

Now that the weather is starting to cool off a bit, we have enjoyed exploring all that Austin has to offer. Zilker park is something we've wanted to go to since we've lived here, but it's been to hot. So, this weekend, we all went to explore a little. It's a beautiful, huge, green park. With a train for kids, a big playground, a natural springs public swimming hole, and lots more. It was a fun family day.

Daddy + swing= perfection for Kinley

Brady and Kinley

Just recently, Brady and Kinley have started to play together. They love to play hide and seek in the tent, Brady loves to push Kinley on her little car, Kinley loves to push around Brady's race cars with him, but once Kinley starts to play with her baby dolls, Brady leaves her alone.

It has been fun to watch them really enjoy playing together, and 99% of the time, Brady is really sweet to her. There is the occasional pick up Kinley and drop her moments, but that's to be expected between a brother and sister at this age right? :)

Mimi Visits

Yikes, it's been a while.

A few weeks back, Tommy drove to California with my brother-n-law and my niece, to help them drive and move in to their new home in San Diego.

So, while he was gone my mom flew out to be with us for the weekend. We had a lot of fun exploring Austin, doing some shopping, and visiting the zoo. It's always lots of fun for the kids when Mimi is around. They are so spoiled and loved by Mimi and Papa Doc. It was a fun treat to have her here!!
