Playtime

What can I say. We like to have a good time! AND we are so blessed to have two fun little girls and two great dogs that enjoy a little playtime too.

A Snowman in Cedar Park

We had snow for a whole day. So we went outside to play in it. Even Daddy took a break from work to play! It was a lot of fun and Savannah took to it nicely. She was especially excited to build the "snowperson" in our front yard. Funny thing about that, the news reported that there were several "snowpeople" built in this weather. Are we really not supposed to say "snowman" anymore?! haha. Oh well. Whatever you wanna call it, we enjoyed building it. We used prunes for the eyes and a carrot for his nose. And because the snow was rather soft, our snowman's face started to crumble the more we worked on it. Resulting in it shrinking quite a bit before we gave up on our project. Savannah enjoyed playing with Mommy, Daddy, and even our neighbor Tony pitched a few snowballs her way. It was a fun time. Sweet little Lexi wasn't feeling well and was napping while we played so she got to see the snow later through a window.

Austin 1/2 Marathon

Michael amazes me all of the time. So a little over a month ago, he had signed up for the Austin half marathon thinking that by signing up he would have something to work toward and participate in. Well he has been training for his upcoming ride in April (the MS150) for sometime now and is in pretty good shape for riding but running is an entirely different physical experience and the most that he had run prior to today's marathon was 7-8miles on a treadmill. His answer to my concern was "babe, I'm Kenyan!" I love that he has such confidence and drive. I'm the type that has to be physically ready before my mental state comes on board and so I talk myself out of a lot of things in the over-thinking process. Michael is the type that once his mind is set there is no going back. So he awoke early this morning, drove himself downtown, and competed in his first ever half marathon. He finished the 13 mile course in just about three hours. What more can I say? He's amazing and we are all proud of him.

Our little Sweethearts

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We love you all.

Sweet Sisters and Smiles

This is nearly every headband that we have and Sav took it upon herself to wear every one while we were watching the LOST season premiere. lol. It's a wonder that anything gets done around here with these cute little people around! I just want to kiss 'em all day.

Capital of TX Zoo

We enjoyed a day trip to the Capital of Texas Zoo. There were many different animals that were semi-accessible so the girls were able to see them in their habitats without us hoisting them up to see em. It was a lot of fun to watch the girls take in the sights and talk to the animals as well. In fact several of the animals at this zoo are former pets and rescues, so there was even a parrot that spoke back to us all. (Of course it wouldn't say "I love you" or "pretty bird" while the camera was rolling but we sure tried to get it to perform!)

Circus

We were fortunate to get tickets to go to the Ben Hur Shrine Circus which was in town this past weekend. We shared the fun adventure as a family and with auntie Kiki + cousin Kioni. It was really a lot of fun though a pretty long show (during nap time) for our little ones... We saw animals do cool tricks, acrobats doing amazing flips, and many more fun acts. The girls got their faces painted and each braved riding a circus animal (Sav on a pony & Noni on an elephant - sadly our camera died so we don't have the pics of those.) And for now the girls seem to have gotten over their nervousness around clowns. It was a fun time had by all.
