It takes so long to get pictures uploaded that there are always huge lapses in day to day updates because I dint want to skip around.
But I feel like it is long overdue so I'll jump in and finish our Texas trip uploads later.
The kids really growing up. Addison cracks me up with his new words, sayings, etc. And no thanks to gi, we have not had a repeat of "holy jiggly boobies"!
My newest favorite is if Addie can't do something he wants to do he gets an awe shucks look on his face and hangs his head while moving his arm in an awe shucks motion. He also says no, come on when we tease him. It's pretty funny!
Averly is starting to assert herself and it cracks me up. She was chewing on a paper package yesterday and I took it away since the paper was dissolving. She started crying and didn't stop until I gave her something else to play with.
She too (like Addison) only wants to stand. Gone are the days of putting her in her chair or holding her on your lap. She must be standing at all times or she let's us know.
Another funny one....we were at the store this week. Usually, I have her in the ergo so addie can sit in the cart but Addie had stayed home with da da so she was in the cart. I stepped away to get something off the shelf and she couldn't see me and she started crying. I walked back over and she started laughing. Too cute!!!!

Crowly Springs

We went to Crowly Springs for the day while in Austin and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The boys jumped off the rope swing and we spent lots of time sitting in the sun!
Ringing the big bell

There was a lot of places with shallow water that was perfect for Averly!

Addison had a blast climbing over the rocks and playing in the "puddles".

After the springs we went up to the pool to take a dip. I got in for a minute but the water was freezing. Luckinly Gi braved the waters for Addison's sake!

We took off Addison's swimsuit to put on dry clothes and he decided to show off his stuff for a little lady that was camping nearby with her family. He was dancing away on the wall which was his stage! The girl is looking at him like he is crazy!

More jamming out
Pictures always post in the wrong order so if you check out the photo below you will notice that Addison is staring at Ya Ya's "top". He kept on doing it and we were laughing so much that he did it more! The picture above is of everyone cracking up. Wow, Addison has a hot Aunt!

On our walk down to the springs.

Hanging With Ya Ya and Gi

Train

After Barton Springs we went to ride the train. We went last summer when we came and it was a big hit so we decided to go for round two.The Clan!
Our little cutie pie!
Averly and Gi
Uncle Gi with the kiddos. They love uncle Gi and he is so good with them! We love you Uncle Gi!!! Can't wait for cousin Hopper to come along...only a few short months now!
Pa Pa and Addie on the train.

Barton Springs

We went to Barton Springs while in Austin to take a dip in the heat. We were so excited and when we showed up...arghh, they were closed for cleaning. We went down the trail a bit and found another spot. It wasn't quite as nice but fun never the less!Gi and Ya Ya with her beautiful baby belly!!!
Addison crashing the picture!
Post baby (please don't look) and Pre baby bellies.
Gi and Addie and Ma Ma in the water.
Mi Mi and Pa Pa even came. Mi Mi held Averly in the shade.
Addie had a blast with Uncle Gi swimming in the water. He was a little leary so Gi spent a bit of time carrying him.

Cole!

Cecily came to visit us a Grayson and Claudia's house and she brought Cole. Addison was super excited as was I since I haven't seen him since he was a new born. The twosome were super cute and they even had on matching shirts (we didn't plan it).

Cecily is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I don't think we would have ever pictured this back in high school!!!


Gi got out the trucks that he used to play with as a little boy and Addie was in hog heaven!

Preschool

We got in! Yes, we have been on a 2 year waiting list to get into preschool at la Jolla united Methodist church.
Sounds crazy, I know.
Addison will start in September going on Monday and Wednesday's from 9-11:30. I am excited although a little sad to not have my little man here with me on those days.

Piggy bank

We emptied addison's very full piggy bank and made an adventure out of it. We took it to the grocery store and put it in the change machine to get it changed to cash. We then took it to the bank and put it in his savings account. He had a great time with it and keeps on wanting to empty his piggy bank to take it to the big bank.
She she and paw paw sent averly a piggy bank so now she can join in on the fun!

Bob

A few weeks ago we tried averly in the bob without the car seat. She loved it! I am sooo excited because she hated the car seat and I had to wear her on all out walks or she would cry. Now she just sits forward and is happy. I have even been attempting to run with both if them now that the bob is less cumbersome without the car seat.
Addie lives having someone sit next to him and is constantly raising her hood so he can see her.

Charlie bit me

Addison can find u tube on our phone and finds all kinds of videos (sometimes to my horror). One of his favorites is Charlie bit me. I think most of you know what that is since it is pretty famous but if not... It is a video of 2 brothers and the older one sticks his finger in the younger one's mouth and he bites it. The older one then says Charlie bit me. Anyway, Addison does that with averly and then says she bit me. It's pretty funny.

Averly loves airplane and giggles whenever we do it. Addie of course still loves airplane too so I am getting a good workout in!
