Braxton's 4th Birthday Party

We had the best party for Braxton's 4th birthday this year!
We rented out a theater at the 7th Street Movie Tavern for Cars II in 3D, had flapjacks in pj's for a 9:00am movie... followed by popcorn... followed by chocolate birthday cake! What better way to start a Friday? The kids, shockingly, all ages - paid attention throughout almost the whole movie. When the little ones got bored, they just ran around the theater and no one was fazed because they were too entranced with the flick! It was all too much fun and we SO will be doing this again.














Running crazy around the theater after the show - probably 100x
Wild boys...
The Aftermath... & best part - no clean up!

Happy 4th of July!

We spent this glorious 4th of July celebrating with Scott's family at the farm. We had a great time playing, eating, swimming, eating and watching Shelley & Jonathan's wedding video (1 year anniversary was a week ago). Braxton and Harper couldn't have been happier running wild & free with so many great animals (dogs, horses & frogs) and pretty much knowing no boundaries! Harper met Snickers, one of the many horses the Bauer's have at the farm, and she was very intrigued and impressed with how her big brother has no fear.
Thank you Bauer's for another unforgettable family holiday.

More rocks please...

Blondie...

This summer we have been spending a lot of time outside... playing/pooling/perusing. My sweet girl's hair is changing shades rapidly for the lighter side... similar to big brothers. So cute.
Eating M&M's for breakfast... more?
No more pictures - MOM!

First Texas Ranger's game...



I took Braxton to his first Ranger's game this summer and it was an awesome game to attend. We were there to cheer on his sweet friend, Emma Caffey, as she stole 3rd base between innings. He was absolutely mesmerized by the huge stadium, the big players and the fact that other people play baseball - like him! Emma did a fantastic job stealing the base and he loved watching her run fast as lightning on the field, then see her on the jumbo-tron and lastly to see the actual base she stole. What a cool experience!!!

Waiting for her to come out of left field...
Look at her go!

1st Family Beach GETAWAY!


Two words. Unbelievable Vacation.
Scott and I have traveled to countless five-star resorts, seen amazing locales, met great people... but nothing has topped this last vacation. With children. At the beach. Where to begin? Lets see... our favorite things about the trip were the squeals of excitement at every sight of the water, the wonder in their little eyes as they looked out on to an endless ocean, the amazement on their faces when they realized we didn't have to go home! It was top notch all around. Thanks Daddy!
Scott took us to the Four Seasons in Palm Beach. I had heard from a good friend that is was "very kid-friendly" and it was... from the milk & cookies in the room after you walk in - to the kid's names spelled out with sponges in the bath tub - great place for munchkins. Top that off with wonderful friends coming to join us and getting to bring your children's favorite babysitter... it doesn't get any better than that. There you have it. Best vacation ever!

Major fun on the airplane...
Wiped out the second we get there...
Scoping the place out!
FIRST time ever to see the beach & ocean with his own eyes! Look at that excitement.
Feeling the sand...
Squealing with joy...
Loving my muffin... as she is trying to wrangle free to chase brother...
More fun...
I have to mention that my sweet baby girl was FEARLESS when it came to all the WATER - ocean, pool, etc. She knows no bounds and we had to chase a lot b/c she was always straight IN THE WATER.
