Nice November!

Finishing up the soccer season and killing it!

Kirby wants to play too!

Fun with photo apps and a sharp haircut!

For his birthday, Alex took Jake to see a Spurs game and they had a blast!

For Jake's birthday, he just wanted to hang with a few friends. I adore that the guys he wanted to hang with are the kids he went to preschool with. Alex took the boys to a UT basketball and they had a great time! 

Afterwards, they played PlayStation, threw the football, stayed up late and ate a ton of junk food! 

Treats from Mimi! She painted a mug for him at Allie's party but it didn't quite come up how she wanted so she sent him another along with all the makings for the perfect cup of hot chocolate!

Alex and I snuck away with Jake for brunch on Sunday while Allie was at Sunday school! 

(even though I can't remember why Jake wasn't there too)

Cuddles with his BFF

Dory made Jake an awesome soccer cake!

Dressed up for a friend's Bar Mitzvah!

Pretty excited to see herself on the CYJ Instagram feed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

October Fun!

Best way to start this month is with my mini-me's  birthday! 

We love her so much!

For Allie's birthday she got a very special surprise!

Allie wanted a paint-your-own pottery party. I was thrilled because it was the first time in years that we haven't had her party at our house. 

We had a special girls lunch with both her Grandmas!

Dory also had a special birthday surprise for Allie. This cake was fantastic!

We were so sad about the loss of Alex's Aunt Helen. I first met her when she and Uncle Albert came to the states and we joined them for a weekend. Helen was just lovely! A spitfire with a wicked sense of humor and fun to be around. Alex and I visited her in London and had the nicest time seeing her, even though she told us if the kids weren't with us we shouldn't have even bothered.

Mid-day cuddles with Kirbs!

Neighbors getting ready for Halloween!

Kirby's not so sure about these decorations!

My handsome guy!

LOVE this sign at school!

More soccer!

And practicing with Coach Kirby!

Jake played in a Halloween soccer tournament! They were Team VSCO Girls and had the best time playing and hanging out together!

After the tournament, the kids can trick-or-treat at all the tents. Allie was happy to join for this part!

Amazingly there was no filter on this picture. Just a beautiful Texas sunset!

Ready for Halloween!

See a dog and a cat can be friends!

Jake took off with friends as a tween should do and Allie and I headed to see school friends and then trick or treat with some besties. 

Reunited at the end of the night for their annual candy sort and exchange!

Happy Halloween!
