Our Playa del Carmen getaway

When our friends invited us to join them on their trip to Playa del Carmen, we couldn't resist!  We dropped the kids, two dogs and two kittens off with Eric's parents and hopped on a plane.


The kids were excited to spend some time with Gege and Grandaddy. 



We were so happy when we landed in Cancun!


Happy to see our friends!


The beach was filled with seaweed, so we spent all our time at the pool.





We loved laying in the sun!  My shade kept falling on my face though.  Lol!




All dressed up for dinner.



We had the best time with our group.  It was so fun to make new friends!



Our friends had towels folded into shapes of swans and peacocks.  We had nothing the first couple days, and then this showed up!  We named her Creepy Baby. 


When this showed up the next day, we died laughing and hoped it wasn't an omen.  



Calliendo de beso



We shopped in Playa Del Carmen for gifts for the kids.  




We went on an amazing excursion too.  We drove ATVs, swam in a cave, zip lined and swam with sea turtles. 




We rode through the jungle on ATVs. It was super bumpy, but fun!



We swam in this beautiful cave.  It was so cold!  



Chris was standing on a bridge and really isn't a giant.


Zip lining through the jungle was fun too! 



My favorite was swimming with the sea turtles! We saw calamari, big sting rays and lots of turtles. 










We had the best time and can't wait to go back next summer!

School pictures 2015

School happenings



Austin was Orville Wright for his third grade Living Museum.  Isn't he just adorable?  He had to give a two minute speech about Orville Wrights life.


Ethan and Lauren's classes got to hear his speech.  He did great and we were so proud of him! 


Lauren got to bring her class stuffed animal Jackson home with her last week.  


They chased butterflies.


 He sat on her lap while she swung.


 She even let him sleep in her pajamas.  She loved having Jackson come visit!

Field Trips 2015



Ethan's 4th grade field trip went to Pioneer Days.


They learned about making butter, quilts, candles, beekeeping and much more.  It was fun and educational.



 Lauren's kindergarten field trip was to Sweet Berry Farms.


They learned about goats and got to feed them.


They planted pumpkin seeds.



They each got a ladybug to release on the strawberry plants.  Lauren named her ladybug Cupcake.


They got to pick a berry basket full of strawberries.


I had the best time watching her interact with her friends and enjoy the activities.



Austin's field trip was on a Duck Tour and parents weren't able to go. He had fun though and next year I can go to all three!  :)

Our life on Instagram



 

Nothing is better than snuggling with these guys on the couch! 


 Eric and I were sitting on the deck the other night and the weather was awesome.  I asked him to go get the kids so they could enjoy it with us.  He brought them outside like this!  So funny!


The Wooden Oar Kettle Corn at Wimberley Market Days is still going strong. We love our once a month business!


Eric and I stayed in San Marcos the night before Market Days so we could have a date night.  It was so fun!  We went to Gristmill and ate all our favorite foods at the place we met.  Such great memories!


Lauren had her yearly checkup the other day.  That night,  she said "I have to brush my teeth like the Germotologist said to!".  It was so funny!  Love our little stinker!

Austin's 9th birthday



We celebrated Austin's 9th birthday with friends at an indoor soccer field.


Our sports lover had the best time playing with all his friends!


They played soccer, flag football, and dodge ball and had a blast! 


Happy 9th Birthday Austin!  We love you!
