Notable November

Happy November! 
Jake's soccer season ended a little early with his hurt ankle but he's a great teammate and came out for the last game. They're already back practicing and he'll be out there soon enough!

Allie & Daddy had a special date to see Pinkalicious: The Musical! They had a great time and love their special dates.
First basketball practice with limited play thanks to the boot. Jake wanted to meet his team. 

Trader Joe's with this little turkey!
Jake and Alex headed to South Austin to meet up with Jake's buddy Noah, his brother Evan and their dad for some football.
Meanwhile Allie found the perfect guitar for her!

Bubba was happy to be there to witness this greatness and to pick up the bill!
This has to be her first album cover!
International Wear Your Camp T-shirt Day!

To celebrate Jake's 10th birthday we started celebrating early and just kept the party going! The night of his actual birthday we celebrated at his favorite, The Cheesecake Factory, with us and Bubba. 

The next morning the boys headed to Houston to see Jake's good buddy from camp, Eiden, and some wrestling.

Allie had two birthday parties and a couple of playdates but we were both happy to find time to see one of our favorite Austin Dawgs who is (hopefully) temporarily in Denver, Kristin. 

Birthday party #2 of the weekend and an impromptu play date with Olivia.


Jake's new loveseat for his "bachelor pad" room!
Great haircut for Jake!

We had a nice Thanksgiving with Bubba, Dorry, Zayde and Uncle Phillip! We were too busy to take pictures except I these two I got of the turkey and the wine, I mean Allie's Thanksgiving artwork!


Working off Thanksgiving dinner! I tried Orange Theory Fitness with Alex and my best workout buddy, Clara, and didn't hate it!

Football fun with my best guy!



Making their own lunch and ready for the Georgia game!

Double Digits Dude!

Happy Birthday to our Double Digit Dude! 
Jake is 10!

This lucky boy had the longest birthday celebration and loved every second of it! Starting with amazing seats at a San Antonio Spurs game!
Watching the warm ups!


Meeting former Spur, Sean Elliot!

Jake had a birthday sleepover the weekend before his actual birthday. Lots of football, soccer, playstation, snacks and staying up late!



When Alex saw that there was going to be a wrestling event in Cedar Park (just outside of Austin) the day before Jake's birthday, he couldn't resist. And he got amazing seats, although if it was me, it may have been a little too close.





Birthday donuts for everyone!



Jake's request for his birthday dinner on November 17, 2nd year in a row, The Cheesecake Factory! 


The next morning, Alex and Jake headed to Houston for the weekend. While in Houston they saw Jake's good friend from 6 Points, Eiden. But the real reason they were there was for more wrestling! 





The final item on Jake's birthday tour was a UT Football game! I was lucky enought to get to join him for this one! 

Jake is sweet, handsome, funny, sporty, and savage (his word) and we couldn't love him any more than we do right now!
