Ice cream, hammocks and soccer practice...

Weather is finally cooling off a little and we have had an exciting month already! We went to Day out with Thomas in Austin, visited the Strimska's, and went to Dewberry farms all in one weekend! Ryan is enjoying soccer, but has had to take a little break. He had a little fall at home and ended up with some liquid stiches on his forehead from tripping into a corner...OUCH! Things are great, just busy! Lots of activities and lots of cake decorating!

First Day of school!

We have not sent out an email update in a while so I thought I would do it here. The kids started back at mothers day out this past week. Kailtyn and Ryan are in new classrooms with some of the same friends and new ones too. Ryan thinks he is big stuff because he goes 4 days a week now, and his classroom is upstairs. Daddy got to come to their first day of school and they loved it.

Im still working a little here and there doing pediatric OT and Trevor is still at Methodist. I started the crazy cake hobby that has been a lot of fun, but a little overwhelming. Check out the blog twogirlsandacake.blogspot.com, I've made some cool cakes recently. Ryan loves talking about the cake he wants for his birthday, which is, well 6 months away. Were trying to plan a vacation soon where the kids can see some snow. Tonight is his first soccer practice and he is very excited about that. Kaitlyn and mommy are taking a music class when Ryan is in school (shh dont tell) and she loves it. She talks about him constantly and asks to pick him up the days he is in school and she is home with me. Its cute. They are good buddies, most of the time, that is until Ryan takes her shopping cart away or she grabs a coveted train. We cant complain, life is good to us these days!!!!

Flying L Ranch

We had a blast at the Flying L Ranch in Bandera, TX this past week. We got to meet new friends and had some neat family momemts we will never forget. The kids got to pony ride and Ryan learned archery. He even got to shoot a BB Gun. We all went on a trail ride and saw antelope, all types of deer, racoons, armadillo, skunks, fire flies, and cotton tail rabbits. On a drive to Kerrville for lunch, we even got to see longhorn cattle drinking out of a nearby creek. We ate smores every night and enjjoyed lots of other fun activities. Definitely a great place to bring a family and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful sunset on the ranch.

Two tired kids on the way back from Kerrville.

Iddy, Caden and Emi came down from Boerne to swim and have some s'mores!

Cake happenings...

I have started to make cakes for fun with Melanie. Check out our blog at http://twogirlsandacake.blogspot.com/ to see what we have been up to.

Girls Trip to Seattle

I had so much fun visiting Manisha and the family in Seattle with Melanie. Nila and Priya are still so sweet and cute. I think they both grew and inch since leaving Pearland!

Here are a few pics from Pike's Market and our night out to celebrate Melanie's birthday. Seattle is so beautiful and there were so many neat things to do. I have a video at the bottom of this post (hopefully) taken from Pike Place Fish Market where they throw your fish when you order them. Melanie and I both brought some home. Got crabs?

Got martinis?
