1st Swim Class (Videos)

The boys took swim lessons in the first part of June (every weeknight for 2 weeks straight at our neighborhood pool). Auntie Meghan was here for their first 3 classes so she took some videos from their first class on her phone and put it on Youtube for us. By the end of the 2 weeks (sorry no videos at the end since Brett and I were both in the pool!) they were both jumping in the water and would let us drop them in to touch the bottom and would retrieve diving rings (with our help to guide them underwater because they can't REALLY swim yet, they just learned to be really comfortable going underwater).

Here are the videos she took (if you hear screaming/crying from the pool in the background, I am happy - and surprised - to say that wasn't from Mason or Ethan!):

Father's Day 2011

Breakfast out and a visit to the new local Splash Pad! What a day!!

The photo is from breakfast while we waited for our table to be ready. A musician sat down near us shortly after this photo. He was playing the guitar and Mason and Ethan got up to do some dancing. I gave them each $1 to put in his guitar case. Ethan tried to put his in the case but the wind came along so I caught it and I put it in the case for him. Mason went to hand over his $1 and thought it would be safer if he put it in the musician's glass of iced coffee...at least the musician thought it was hilarious!

Auntie Meghan visit

Our visit with Auntie Meghan was wonderful and the boys cried when she left - they had such a good time with her. Good thing we get to see her again next month! :)

Happy Birthday Mama!

I got to have my dear friend Meghan visit for my birthday this year and we got to escape after the boys went to bed for some chocolate fondue, champagne and a movie! I had a great birthday!

And after singing Happy Birthday to Dada for 2 straight weeks, the boys were able to switch it up and sing Happy Birthday to Mama :)

Here are some pics of the boys from the park that morning:

Happy Birthday Dada!

We went to Rudy's BBQ to celebrate Dada's birthday. And we got to celebrate with our great neighborhood friends the Jordan family who are always so much fun to hang out with. We ate BBQ and had Oreo ice cream cake for dessert. The perfect birthday celebration!




The sun was a "wee" bit too bright for a family picture outside, but we tried :) Thanks Jason (or was it Jonah...)? so much for the longhorn shadow, the picture would not have been truly Austin without it ;)

Pioneer Farms

My local Moms of Multiples Group had their semi-annual picnic at Pioneer Farms this year (home of the Biscuit Brothers on PBS). I didn't get very many photos because the boys were not in the best of moods that day, but here are a few pics:
