Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

Ryan and I had a wedding to go to Saturday night in College Station so we headed to his parents house in Conroe to spend the day with the kids and then head off to the wedding. We spent all day Sunday at the lake too with some great friends. The Deans and the Johns came to enjoy the day with us. So much fun with our friends and Sage's friend Willa!

LOTS OF PICS!
Thanks for a great weekend Nana and Grandpa

Sunday we went to Houston Oaks. Ryan golfed and Sage, Avery and I enjoyed the day with my mom and sister.

Just the three of us!

Friday evening Ryan and I decided to take Sage to the Aeros game. Just the three of us! Avery spent her first night away from me. She stayed at the lake with Ryan's parents. She had a great time and so did we.

I didn't leave Sage over night with anyone untill he was a little over 5 months...Avery is 2.5 months old. I guess thats another difference with the second child.

It was great seeing Sage have SO much fun at the hockey game. We invited Carly, Jessica and Danny McGraw, and the Flacks, Jen, Brad, and Bennet. The boys were crazy the first period and then hit a wall during the second. They couldn't even stand up, they were so tired. We all left before the third period. We listened on the way home, and we won! What a great time! I am so glad that I have family close so I can spend special one on one time with each of my babies!





Avery having a great time with Grandpa and Nana!

The Zoo

Sage got the best gift from his BFF Colt for his birthday. A membership to the Zoo!! We went last Tuesday with my sister and Sages friend Bennet and mom Jennifer. I'm still a little nervous going places for a long time by myself with both kids. Good thing I have Carly who likes to help!! And both Avery and Sage LOVE Aunt CarCar!


The boys had a great time. A lot of the animals were asleep in the shade because it was SO hot! And its only May. I decided after we left that it was probably too hot for Avery, tucked away in her little car seat. She needs to be a bit older before we go back. Maybe a trip with just Sage and Mommy next time.

Saw lots of their backs all day!




Where am I and what is THAT?!?


Thanks for coming Carly!

Little Gym Graduation

Sage loves The Little Gym. He graduated last Monday.

Didn't really have the greatest day. He refused to get in the class picture but did do all the skills he learned through out the semester.

What a big boy!

Starting them young!

She liked it till the very end...

Weekend at Mimi and Papas

Ryan, Sage, Avery and I spent the weekend with my parents. Ryan went to the Dynamo Soccer game Saturday afternoon and we had my cousin Lisa and her family over to play! Sage has so much fun with all four of his cousins! And they all love Avery too! I love watching these six kids grow up together. Many play dates to come this summer!



He wants to be just like them and do everything they do!

Adorable!

Avery's cousins, Sophie and Reese, singing her lullabys.









Oh no...

Sage had his last day of Mothers Day Out on Friday.

What am I going to do with two kids all summer?!?! Besides visit Mimi and Nana's houses a lot!!

Mothers Day Out started out a struggle for both Sage and me. He cried every Friday as I dropped him off. Then a month in they had an opening on Wednesdays. After Sage went two days a week it helped him become more comfortable. He grew to love school, his teachers, and his friends there. MDO is a great way for Sage to learn how to get along with other children and help me teach him about Jesus, colors, alphabet, ect. I love it. Two days a week from 9-1 was perfect for me to either run errands, clean house, or sleep! And lately it has given me some great one on one time with Ms. Avery!


End of the Year party!


2 wonderful teachers!
Dadda surprised Sage and came to the party!


I am looking forward to a fun filled summer!


Any great ideas that I shouldn't miss out on in Houston?


I am also looking forward to MDO at Windwood THREE days a week starting in August!

Carly's Birthday!

Sunday May 15 was my sister, Carly's, birthday.
For her birthday we met her and my parents at the Aeros game.

This was our first time to take the kids to an Aeros game. Sage wasn't sure about it at first. Started to get upset when he first sat down. He got into it after a while. When the game was over he kept saying "one more time! One more time! Hockey!" It was so cute!
Two Dynamo (and World Cup) soccer players with Ryan and Sage! Only Ryan would recognize them! :)


Then we went to The Grove for dinner.
Avery with Uncle J!

Happy Birthday Car Car!!

BFFs

Sage and his BFF Colt had a lot of time to play this past weekend. It is so fun to watch them interact. (when their not fighting) :) The other great thing about Sage and Colt playing together is I get to be with one of MY BFFs! And Ryan gets to be with one of his! Love the McGraws! Colt is goign to be a big brother soon!

Throwing washers from the truck. They actually made a couple in the hole!
