memorial day in austin...

we had a fun filled long weekend in austin for memorial day...it had been FOREVER since we had been so it was really nice to be back. we got in thursday afternoon...and spent it w/ a slip n slide and baby pool for the kids (after a little shopping of course...bebe bought ellis THE cutest dress for 4th of july...no idea what we are doing for it yet, but ellis will be adorable). that night brandon and i got to go out...eddie v's...yum. saturday we went to the domain & maude's. yum again. brandon and i spent the afternoon @ hula hut... then abel's...we were so spoiled having bebe there...later that night we had a couple of beers @ the starley's beautiful, new house. we finished the night w/ mexican train back @ our house on the patio...fun!! i know you are laughing right about now margaret! we swam in my cousin's pool all day saturday and came home sunday...my birthday :)





even w/ a yard, pool, sprinklers, etc...he goes straight for the rocks

just a little naked lawn mowing...

so sweet :) somebody needs a manicure!

at the austin house...EVERYTHING that can be longhorn is longorn...here is ellis coloring @ her longhorn table...other university of texas items @ the house include a tricycle, stick bevo (instead of stick horse), puzzles, bevo-in-the-box, rubber bevo for bath, stuffed bevos, crib bedding, longhorn tutu, blow up bevo, and much much much more...and these are only the things for the kids. my parents should own stock in the co-op.

yes...even UT swimsuits...ellis has 3.




on the armadillo @ the domain...love love love the domain!

can you see how small this little puddle of water is? beckett immediatley went and sat, splashed, and then rolled in it...like a pig in mud.

there are few things in this world better than maude's queso!

more sweetness...i swear, i do NOT tell her to do this...for real

he lost the watergun fight :)

happy memorial day!!!
