What a week...

Where do I start? This week I went back to work, no kiddos yet just getting the room ready and lots of meetings and trainings. I am exhausted and the kiddos aren't even back yet.
Grandma was here watching A and T, it was good but I was sad that I couldn't hang out with them as much this last week before work begins and their new school begins. We have had a lot of fun this summer! This weekend we are busy getting all the things the kiddos need to go to their new school on Monday. You already saw A's backpack. T wants a new blanket for his rest time at school. I also have to pack their lunches everyday so we are trying to figure out what things we will pack, if it were up to T he would have Peanutbutter and Jelly every day for every meal. Both kiddos are excited as are we for them to start at this new school. T is excited about making new friends and I am excited for them both to learn new things.
As far as me I have 16 new little Kindergarten students coming on Tuesday this week. I met them all on Thursday and Friday and they are just soooo cute! I forget how little they are when they come in. I am starting to realize that T will be there in 2 years. They grow so fast!
This morning we started our family fitness...by this I mean I started back with my running group Round Rock Fit and training for the Half Marathon (again) and J decided he wanted to do the training for the full marathon so he is pushing the kiddos in the jogger and we are all doing Round Rock Fit! It was great to be out there as a family. It is very important to us that our kids grow up in an active, healthy life style. It's going to be great!

Backpack, Backpack



We have been busy getting the kiddos ready to start their new school and I think we are finally getting there. Both of them now have new backpacks, yep A is moving up from a diaper bag to a backpack. T got a Lightning McQueen backpack a few weeks ago and this past weekend we finally found A's backpack, it's a toddler size Dora rolling backpack and she is in love with it! She carries/rolls it all over the place. It's way too cute!

A loves listening to music, better yet she likes doing it on You Tube (go figure). Anyway she likes to dance and well now she acts like she is at a concert. It was very cute and fun!

Too much fun!


This past weekend was just too much fun! We started it out on Saturday morning meeting up with friends of ours and their kiddos and headed to San Antonio for a trip to Sea World! It was A's first time to go and T's second time. It is a great place where everyone feels like a kid again...okay it's no Disney World, but it's a pretty fun place. T convinced me to sit in the splash zone with him at Shamu, luckily we were high enough up we only felt a sprinkle when the gigantic whale decided to use his tail to get everyone wet. He was a little upset he wasn't soaked, but he got over it when he went to the water area after lunch. T rode his first roller coaster (the kiddie kind). A fell in love with Shamu! I think all of the kids really enjoyed going to the water area for kids since it was 104 degrees outside. After Sea World we headed back to Nana and Poppy's house for some dinner. Poppy got a new grill that can cook 36 burgers, we only needed 10 or so, but it sounds good. They were great, thanks Poppy! We all got to bed early and on Sunday morning headed to the Ski Ranch in New Braunfels for Jack's Generic Triathlon. Daddy, our friend Brian, and Aunt Mimi were all racing in this event. We love going to the races! T had the best time of anyone though, he got to run across the finish line with daddy and if you ask him how it went he beat daddy across the line. He is so proud and we have been waiting to let T do that with his daddy for a long time. Great job daddy, Mimi, and Brian! We were all pretty hot and tired after the race so we all went our separate ways and rested. You didn't think it ended there did you? We met up for dinner with everyone and invited a few others at Plucker's! We love their food, okay the "large" drinks are great too! What a great weekend!!!
