Life in the 'ville: Hello there!

An Austin Wedding...

We went to a sweet friend's wedding in Austin a few weeks ago. We left early and spent the day doing a little window shopping at The Hills Galleria in Austin. Katie and Kade begged to go to a dog store, Dogadillo! If you are a dog lover you would love Dogadillo.

Well hello there! Katie must have got her hands on my camera at the wedding reception.

Needless to say Kade didn't last long at the reception. Considering the wedding started at his bedtime we knew we would be in for a FUN time keeping Kade quiet and still. That's an oxymoron!

My attempt to catch a nice picture of the family.

Labor Day Weekend

Reynolds Family Reunion

Once again we went to New Braunfels for the Reynolds family reunion. We had a great time sitting outside enjoying the cooler weather, talking and eating. The kids LOVED played outside for 3 days straight.

Perfect ad for John Deere, boots and all! Kade loved riding this four wheeler, here he is sitting waiting to ride it again.

Most of the kids looked dirty all weekend! They don't seem to mind.

A little Slip 'N Slide action.

Kade's 2nd Birthday!

We met both sets of grandparents to celebrate Kade's birthday. It was a low-key birthday, we celebrated at Dairy Queen. Yup! You heard me correctly, the DQ of Eastland. Actually, it was perfect for us. Dinner at DQ, blizzards and cupcakes for dessert. We went outside in the little courtyard to let Kade open his presents and play with his new toys. It was an ideal location for everyone. And FREE!

Pop Pop, Grancie, Katie and Kade. (Somehow I didn't capture any pictures of Mimi and Grandpa. So sorry I didn't!)

Mimi and Grandpa got Kade this Tonka truck...every little boy needs this truck! They are already enjoying it in the DQ courtyard.

Kade's turn.

Grancie brought the biggest #2 balloon I have ever seen!

Happy 2nd birthday little buddy! You make us smile and laugh every day!!

Katie started 2nd Grade

Katie started school at the end of August. It's always sad for us to see her go. We really enjoy having her with us all day during the summer. But Katie is loving 2nd grade, her teacher and her new friends.
