Check out those boots!

We're sooo Austin! -jm

2012?!

It's 2012?? Where have we been?  Houston zoo, Christmas presents, the Zilker Zephyr train, and hanging out in mom's office, and now we're in to birthday season!  -bhm

Clowning Around

It's hard to keep up with Josephine's antics: sometime's she's so quick that you can't distinguish her from the mannequins! -b

Backyard Shenanigans

I love the backyard in the summer. It's dirty, dusty, muddy, and hot, and that - in and of itself - means that there is a lot of things to do! Dad lets me water the garden because it's thirsty, Jessy lets me share her food, and - once in a while - I get to pour water on Josephine's head (only when she's not looking, of course!) -b

Spring Updates

The pics above span the gamut of our springtime activities (it was 97 the other day, so I guess it's still considered spring?).  I've entered the time of sleepovers.  Tavi has stayed with us once and I've stayed at his house once.  We have lots of fun and pillow-fights.

Ben is getting bigger and has lots of teeth!  He is like a piranha with those things.  Ben likes rides in the wagon and yells at you when you stop pulling.  Ben went to the Astros game on a boys-trip with dad a couple weeks ago, too.

Ben and I like to chase each other (he's getting fast) and have played in the pool a couple times (it's funny splashing my brother).  I still get some alone-time reading my books, but it's hard to come by with a sneaky, silly baby like Ben running all over the place!  -jm

The Cake of All Cakes

I helped Mom make this cake for Daddy's birthday - we added chocolate, coffee, butter and espresso to make it really delicious. I put all the strawberries on top and assisted Mom with the frosting. Yum! -jm

Granny Glasses

Mom put her ridiculously large glasses on Ben, and he thought it was hilarious. They make his eyes look really big like bug-eyes. -jm
