Someone LOVES Pasta

Love is a slight understatement.

Too Warm

I am loving the fact that everyday we can be outside and enjoying the weather but I am worried about how warm it has already gotten here. There have been a few days where we need the water table to keep ourselves cool while we are outside.

Play For All Park

On Saturday, we headed over to Round Rock to try out a new park called Play For All park. It is park designed for children of all needs. Whether they are in a wheel chair, have sensory issues, or just want to burn off some energy, there is something for everyone. The girls loved the park and it was perfect for their age. Tons of things to keep both of them busy.

Blue Eyes

I just love Abby's eyes. Her big, blue eyes make my heart melt.

She's got the moves

Abby loves dancing and is always figuring out new moves. It is rare we teach her anything. She just comes up with all of them all on her own. Her current favorite is shaking her booty.

Spring Break Rodeo

On Friday Andy took off work and we headed down to the Austin Rodeo. Emma was so excited to go and it was all she could talk about for days.

We started off in Kid's Town and Emma and Abby loved the Farmer for a Day exhibit.

Emma's favorite activity of the day was the "horse carousal." She loved it so much that she had to go three times.

Taking a snack break and learning how cows are milked.

Checking out the animals. I was secretly hoping the girls would just want to stay on the outside and not want to go in and pet them. I am such a germ-a-phobe that petting zoos bug me.

They made it in and loved petting the animals. I was ready with the hand sanitizer when they came out.

Checking out the baby chicks. So cute!

One of the popular events at the rodeo is the swine races. For each race you are assigned a pig to cheer for based on the section you sit in. One person in each section is designated the cheerleader for the section's pig. If your pig wins then the cheerleader wins a prize. Well Emma was the cheerleader for our section and our pig won! Emma was so excited to win a pig ball and a package of Oreo cookies.

We enjoyed some yummy Oreos after lunch.

My attempt at a sibling shot before we left.

Abby wanted her picture in front of the pig. She just walked over and waited for me to take her picture.

We had a great time at the Rodeo. I love the Spring Break tradition we have with going.

Spring Break Field Trips

The girls and I have been very busy enjoying the town during Emma's Spring Break. On Tuesday we met up with our neighborhood group to explore the Austin Nature and Science Center. The girls loved all the activities and the animals.

Today we met up with our friends Kristin and Allison and enjoyed story time at Book People and play time at Whole Foods.

Since SXSW is going on we got to enjoy some live music while hanging out at Whole Foods. The kids loved the experience.
