February

Celeste on her 20th birthday! This age is a big one to us, and it is hard to believe she is the age I was when I gave birth to her!
 Becca wanted to make her cake, and it didn't turn out quite as envisioned. ;) But it was still much appreciated. Celeste had to take 4/5 tests on her birthday and attend school and really insisted she didn't really want anyone making a fuss over her or getting her gifts. But we managed to celebrate a little. She is such a wonderful person and we could not be more proud or grateful for her. 
She has been going to school and working as many hours as she can to save for an incredible trip she has planned for this Summer. Her and her cousin Jack are going to be touring Europe for several weeks!

Steve and I are so grateful to have such an amazing group of friends here. We all went out and we celebrated Dario's birthday. Such a great night!

Charity and Paisley during a shopping trip to Target. Fashion is a big thing for these two cuties. And they are such cute friends.

It has been a difficult time lately with our teen boys. After confiding in some of our friends about it, they left this at my work one night. We could not ask for better friends.

The Contemporary

Steve took the older boys down to The Contemporary in Austin to look around. They have some cool pieces there!

Out with friends

Steve and I got to go out one night last week with a great group of friends. These guys were a lot of fun.


We also just got back from a little staycation with the Alvarez's and Vickery's. We just rented this Airbnb in Round Rock for one night and arranged childcare for our kids while we had a fun and relaxing night. This was a bday celebration for Steve too. Each couple had their own bedroom and the house was so cute and comfortable. We meant to get a photo of all of us, but we forgot. 

Race & March

Steve took Eden and Andy to participate in a 5k race at Berry Springs. Andy was the fastest of these three of course. But I was proud of them for doing it!

On Martin Luther King Day, we took Andy and Hana downtown Austin for the MLK March. They had some great speakers at the rally prior to the march, and there was a very large turnout for the march too. 


If you can see how many people were marching behind us here, you should know there seemed to be the same amount of people ahead of us too.
