Fun February!

Birthday parties and sports still reign in February but it brought sweet surprises and the cutest little visitor!

Celebrating Oliver's birthday at Pump it Up

Jacob's very cool party at Top Golf. 

Jake's form makes it very clear that he does 

not come from a family of golfers.

The giraffes have been busy recycling, gardening and learning to take care of plants (something Allie certainly won't learn from me), the Chinese new year and all around having fun!

I was lucky enough to be able to attend Jake's Valentine's Day party at school. It was super cute and he was so happy I was there.

We were SO excited for Dillon and Auntie Rachel to come and visit us in Austin. Alex and Jake were particularly excited to meet Dillon for the first time. 

Alex came home with Valentine's flowers for all of us!

Jake's ready for his championship basketball game as is Dillon, showing off he sporty track suit. 

Rachel and her two babies, Dillon and the OG, Teddy!

Uncle Alex and Dillon at Jake's amazing game!

Jake had an awesome defensive game and scored a couple of baskets too! And the Claws won the NWYBA Championship!

That night Dillon and Rachel joined Alex and I are on 

Valentine's date for Sushi. 

On Sunday, we headed with Bubba to Kiddie Acres for a little fun in the sunshine. 

Mini-golfing like a pro, even while wearing a baby!

She loves a horse, real or on the merry-go-round!

Bubba & Jake in the mini-Ferris wheel!

Agh...the shark ate Dillon!

Oh no, both my favorite boys!

Good thing I don't have any sort of baby fever because watching Jake and Allie with Dillon was so totally sweet. 

Jake has moved up in the soccer world. 

First soccer practice with Lonestar Soccer Club.

Successful trip to the dentist with these two!

Jake's team made it to the flag football championship game. While they didn't win they played well and we had a great time at the end of season party.

Even though it's hard to lose, Coach Al talks about the important lessons we can learn from not winning the big game. 

Family Fun Day! The annual fundraiser for the ECP. Allie was beyond excited to be there and see her friends and teachers!

There were army trucks to explore with Eli. 

A gymnastics obstacle course to do with Kim's Gym

Bunnies, goats, chicks and other assorted animals to meet! 

A horse to ride!

A solo train ride to take "without our mommies..."

The 4 going on 16 vibe is strong with these two!

And a slightly creepy clown to meet! 

What a day!

First game in Lonestar! 

Got to play goalie for a bit, had a goal & win!

Fun little family lunch after the game.

A nap on the hammock to close out February seems perfect!
