Bumping heads with Hommie... REALLY made me laugh. And then we topped it all off with my very first pillow fight!! YAY!

Stretching with Daddy

Whew! That was quite a run...now it's time for some stretching. Gotta make sure my little muscles don't get too tight. What's so funny, Daddy? Focus, please.

Road Trip: The Nike+ Human Race

This weekend, we went to Austin so that Grant and I could be a part of the Nike+ Human Race 10k. Apparently, we got to run with Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey, though we never really had the chance to see them, since mommy couldn't catch up with them, pushing us in the jogging stroller. But what fun - our very first 10k!! Here we are during Ben Harper's post-race concert in front of the Texas Capitol Building. Just crossing the finish line - notice the sea of red jerseys behind us. They said that there were about 15,000 people in the race! HOLY COW! That's a lot of people. Baby and I are really wet because mommy kept running us under the sprinklers along the route. We were such good babies for the race, we didn't even fight! If you look really closely, you can see our halos.

Austin Kiddie Limits

Austin had a Children's Museum where I got to put on a cowboy hat and play a banjo! Here I am, tearing up the dance floor.

Yummy Popcorn

Baby can't get enough in his mouth at one time, apparently... Family Fun with Popcorn!

Lake Travis - Day 4 (Finale)

Like Grandfather, like grandson. You never know where you'll find him next...

Volente Beach - Lake Travis Day 4

Rain drops keep fallin' on my head! AAAARGH! Baby bro and Debbie - just spectating. It only took me two years to jump on the Barney Train! Here I am, riding in the van to Volente Beach with Debbie and baby brother.

Pirate Ship - Volente Beach

Mommy and Grant on the Pirate Ship slide. TA DA!!! I got a 9.9 for that one! I'd get a gold medal if they had Olympic sliding. Then, Mommy and Daddy went on the grown-up slide. It looked pretty scary to me, but Daddy seemed to enjoy it!

Lake Travis - Day 3

Today we rented a pontoon boat and went swimming in the lake. Grant had such a great time! Can you tell?

Although daddy's brother is Captain of a 225' buoy tender, daddy was momentarily Captain of a rickety old pontoon 22' boat, which I thought was pretty cool anyway.

I love lake swimming!

Lake Travis - Day 2

Grant has a case of the after dinner giggles.

Daddy was momentarily a passenger in the kayak.

Embarking on my first family kayak ride! Yes, uncle Mark, all passengers have USCG approved life vests, mommy just hasn't put hers on yet... Besides, we're a little short on deck space for your boarding team!

The Hollows - Lake Travis Day 1

Daddy called this a forced family frenzy. C'mon Grant!! Let's go Bubba! Here I am jumping to Grandpa, I love the pool!

The Hollows - Day 1 - Continued...

Grandpa is smiling for the camera, but Grant was waving to the ladies... This is the obligatory "pool overlooking the lake" pic - I wanted the purple goggles, which weren't mine, and Grant prefers not to face the sun. Here's our Cottage, for memory's sake. Mommy loves her minivan.

Pool dance

I love the pool. I can't really swim yet, but I still like to get my groove on.

Keira Swimmin'

Little brother was trying out his new floatie, so I decided to swim over to give him a hug.

Keira's adding video!

Here's Grant, crawling around and banging a pot lid on the hearth.

Millions of Peaches

And three just for me! Yes, I had my first whole peach today. And enjoyed eating it like a big girl so much, I had two more after that.

Black Widow

Any questions? (Yes, Hommie & Dabi, that's the water table)
