Where oh where can she be?

(this was actually posted last week 4/16, but I see it has been reverted back to draft...grrrrr....so I am reposting this again...)

I know...trust me I know. Spring is here and the sun is out. So far, this has been a crazy month for us...not much is really going on except 'life' itself.

At the beginning of the month, we dealt with our very 1st case of head lice. :-( My poor BamBam. We caught it super early, treated it right away and it was COMPLETELY gone in just 2 days. I did treat his hair a week later (just in case). Thank goodness that is behind us. 

Really good friends of ours welcomed their little miracle into the world on April 4. This my friends is my newest honey love bug Colton Troy Taylor. The dudes are absolutely smitten by him!

Our bird houses that we will be hanging at VonTrapp's house this spring/summer.

Lots of friend time this month so far too :-)

On April 10th, my sweet baby boy BamBam turned 5. This was a hard birthday for me...my last little guy...he's not so little anymore. (I have a separate blog post I haven't posted yet about his birthday) And thank you to everyone that wished him a happy birthday on Instagram and FaceBook.

And of course, there was lots of rugby and football :-)

Our rugby team (both D1 and D3) have secured the #1 spot in Texas and both are moving on to the round of 32! D3 (which Big Daddy plays on) went undefeated this season. We're off to Galveston the first weekend of May, while our D1 side will be playing here in Austin.

Our last game of the regular season is this coming weekend against our in-town rivals the Huns. A Black and Blue rivalry :-) We of course will SMASH them.

The dudes are doing just smashingly well this football season. This is BamBam's 1st season and he is enjoying every bit of it. It helps that he has an older brother that also plays so he knows a lot about positioning and what each position does. Juju is just amazing! I see so much of his daddy's drive in him. He is a natural leader, he pays attention the whole time and his teammates can definitely look up to him....I guess that's why his coach made him starting QB and starting corner. Yup he's playing offense AND defense now. I see this amazing determination in him...I know Big Daddy is just so proud!

The sun has been shining bright here in Austin, so we've been soaking it up: dinner at the food trucks and of course pool time!

How has everyone been? I've missed guys! You can always find me on Instagram and Keek too :-)

Spring :-)

We're closing in on the end of April and the blue bonnets are still out! These were taken in our complex. Spring sucks for our house..spring = ALLERGIES! But there is one bright point that stands out about spring...it means SUMMER IS COMING! Y'all know how much we love the sun!

Halloween filled weekend

Halloween is Wednesday, but we got our trick or treating on EARLY!

So on Saturday we headed out to Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave for their annual Halloween fest. Its like an outdoor mall and they had a bouncy house, entertainment, and all the stores, well majority of the stores, were passing out candy. Safe, fun filled family event and did I mention...it was FREE!
Last year we missed the trick or treating but the kids did have fun listening to the band and running around.

Ironman and Thor :-) 

*Juju didn't want to wear his mask that stinker*

We left right after trick or treating to head to H.E.B. to pick up a pumpkin.

The victims

What a ham, right?! God this kid is awesome LOL

Why yes...we cheated and used power tools. Don't be mad because you didn't think of doing it ;-)

 *I just wanted to add that I had to gut all 4 of those pumpkins...by myself...YUCK!*

Painting the minis

Kissing the "Big Daddy pumpkin"

View from the parking lot

 We live on the 2nd floor so Big Daddy climbed on our car and took this picture

Up close

BamBam painted the one next to the big pumpkin, Juju painted the middle one, and I painted the one all the way on the right

*HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE BOYS' LOCKER ROOM*

"Hey girl, what ya been up to?"

It's been 2 weeks since I left the 8-5 grind and became a SAHM. Everyone knows how scared I was to make this leap, but 2 weeks in and everything is A-OK. I think I like it.
I see people I haven't seen since I stopped working and the question is always the same...

"Hey girl, what ya been up to?"

The answer...not much...just life :-)
