Dog Park and Waterloo

This morning Evan was dropped off around 11am.

A little while later the boys and I took Chewie to the dog park.  We had to wait about 15 minutes to get a spot in the parking lot.  Chewie had a great time.  He ran around with other dogs and even fetched the ball in the water.  That was his first time really swimming.  We wore him out.

The boys convinced me to stop at Panera on the way home.  We ate outside with Chewie.

Then, we took it easy in the afternoon.

At 5:45 we picked up Grandma and Papa and went to Nathan's party at Waterloo Ice House.  We sat outside and the kids could run around.  It was a nice time.

Now we are home and the boys are getting ready for bed.  Evan has an early game tomorrow morning.

Here are some pictures from today.

Lizzy's Birthday

This morning we slept in.

Later in the morning, Evan's friends Josh and Wade came over.

We had been planning on taking Lizzy to the dog park over the weekend and decided to go today.  On the way there we remembered today is Lizzy's 14th birthday.  What a great way to celebrate!

We went to the Red Bud Isle dog park that is on the lake.  Lizzy had a good time. She was more timid than usual, but she still was able to swim some.

On the way home, we stopped and got Slurpee's.

Wade and Josh were picked up around 4pm.

Noah was invited to Jude's house and was there from about 5-7.

At 5:30 Evan was picked up by Reid's family.  They were going to to a pool party and then Evan would spend the night with them.

We picked up Noah and then ate dinner at Lupe Tortilla.

Now Noah is in bed.

Here are some pictures from today.

Austin

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today, Evan came in our room around 7:30. He laid on the floor a bit until I was ready to get up. We came downstairs and just after we got downstairs, Uncle Ron came down. Evan made us watch his shows including Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Scooby-Doo.

When Noah got up, we packed up the car and went to the dog park. We wanted to show off Austin to Uncle Ron and he's a dog person so what better than the dog park on Red Bud Isle. Red Bud Isle is in the middle of Lady Bird Lake and so the dogs can go swimming. Evan and I threw the ball to Lizzy in the water and she retrieved it. Noah threw it to her once. I think Uncle Ron was impressed.

After that, we went to Freddie's Place which has a playground and allows dogs to eat there. The boys had a great time playing and Lizzy enjoyed being with us. The patio where you eat is all covered by trees, so again, I think Austin showed itself off well.

We came home and gave the boys baths. They were disgusting from the dog park and the playground. Then we put Noah to bed. Evan, Uncle Ron and I watched Up.

After that, the three of us went outside and I pitched the ball to Evan. Uncle Ron played outfield. Evan was hitting very well. Evan then wanted to show Uncle Ron his bike and his scooter.

For dinner we drove up to the Oasis - another Austin must-see. The food was ok and Evan wasn't that well-behaved but it was really nice outside. We stayed until we watched the sun set. Noah loved holding Uncle Ron's hand as we walked back to the car.

We just put the boys to bed. They seem quiet.

Until next time...
