Tyler turns 33

 

Tyler had a birthday! We sometimes go out on a date on our birthdays, and this year we wanted to do it a little differently. Gigi was so nice to watch the kids while we went on a long bike ride. Despite working up in mileage with the kids, it’s just faster and easier to go without them! So we had a great time, biking around our area and exploring together. 



We finally crossed the big bridge in Bridgeland and explored the trail on the other side - a new favorite! It was a great day. Happy birthday to my favorite!

Post-holidays

The day after Christmas Max got to try his new golf clubs on the course! He was so excited.




While they were gone I took Millie, Harvey, and Hazel to the park.


Hazel had fun crawling around on the turf while the big kids play!


Unfortunately by that evening I was really not feeling well. I’m guessing it was some kind of flu bug. I was so grateful that if I had to get sick that it happened when it did - Tyler was off work still and he was so helpful. Gigi came and took the kids to her house a couple of times too, so I could rest. It was so sweet. I rocked a mask for several days whenever I was holding Hazel.


Gigi and Poppy also took the kids to Urban Air! They had SO much fun and the kids couldn’t stop talking about all the cool stuff they got to do. 


We got Sorry from Monka and Umpa for Christmas and the kids had fun playing it for the first time. 


This picture doesn’t do it justice at all, but the amount of birds that congregate at the HEB near our house is insane!

Tyler’s triathlon

Tyler did an indoor sprint triathlon! It was at an athletic club nearby that we do not belong to, but they were nice and let us come watch anyway. 


They did a staggered start on the swim to accommodate everyone. It was fun to cheer him on!


After doing a lap in each of the 5 lanes he ran to the beginning and did it all again. Amazing!


About to rock the 12 mile bike ride!


This was where it got a little hairy for the kids. They weren’t allowed to touch much of anything, go anywhere really, or do much. We did take a couple trips to the bathroom to occupy ourselves and allow Tyler to ride in peace haha.


He was a rockstar!



And then it was out to the treadmill. 


He rocked the run too! During the swim Millie and Max had been saying they thought they could do what Tyler was doing easy peasy, but by the end I think they were truly impressed with their awesome dad. 


I know I for sure was impressed! He is amazing.

Take your children to work day

The kids were so excited to go with Dad to work again! Hazel and I tagged along too. We parked on the top floor of a parking garage and the view was awesome.


Little kids walking the streets of the big city.


An even cooler view! 


There were some photographers taking pictures that they sent to us afterward, including this one.


There were face painters and balloon artists, a Toy Story craft, and a magic show! 


Uncle AJ came by at the end and we got to hang with him for a bit!




A fun day at the office!

Tyler's birthday!

 Happiest birthday to our favorite guy! Tyler is the best dad and husband and we are grateful for him every day.



A birthday wrestle.


We got to celebrate him again the next day.


I think this picture sums it up best - we all want to be near him! We love you Dad!

Beginning of February

I saw Millie with her goldfish all paired up and asked her what that was about? She said she put them in pairs so she could have one on each side of her mouth. I about died laughing. This girl is so my child, and does all the little weird things I used to do as a kid without me ever telling her about them!


We had a fun Friday night with Gigi, Poppy, Nana, and Botz. Everyone came over with pizza and we had dinner before going to a high school basketball game. We got to watch Tyler's high school team and see one of his old coaches. It was fun. The Lobos had a buzzer-shot win too! It was very exciting.


One thing I really appreciate about our kids is that they can be very self-entertaining. Max will just quietly play for such a long time by himself. I love seeing him off in his own little world!


I can't remember if I've written about this already, but Harvey loves to pretend he's a cowboy with this "hat." It's actually part of the potty training potty we have. Not sure why he thinks it's a hat or why he thinks it is so fun, but it cracks us up!


Tyler is in the thick of busy season but has started calling us every night to say goodnight to the kids. They love to see him and talk to him and also play with the funny filters.


Harvey has had a hard time going to bed lately. I'm wondering if he is ready to stop napping? Or at least to nap shorter? Anyway, he kept wandering out of bed and was being so cute that he somehow ended up in bed with us having a cute conversation with Dad. Can't resist that little dude sometimes!


He also likes when he's the only kid with me at Sam's and gets an Icee almost all to himself. Harvey really loves special drinks so sharing wasn't realistic.


Millie had a fall recently while playing tag outside. She slipped and landed hard on her elbow before rolling. It looked bad to me but she jumped right up and hopped on the bus to head to school, saying she was fine. She came home not really able to move her elbow much and held it close to her body. After a couple days we decided to take her in and make sure it wasn't broken. Thankfully it wasn't.


While we were waiting for x-rays or something, a nurse popped her head in the room and asked if we needed anything. She offered some snacks, water, apple juice, etc. Millie and I both said no thanks, we're good, and then Harvey leans over and pipes in. "Apple juice!" We were laughing so hard. The sweet nurse indeed brought him a little cup of apple juice and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh Harvey.


A sling for a couple of days, some exercises to get her range of motion back, and some ice helped her feel good as new within a few days! She was a little sad to not get a cool cast or brace like her brothers have had in the past but the sling made her feel pretty cool.


Another talk with Dad, this time he showed us his sushi he was having for dinner. The kids were fascinated haha.


I just really love this cute bunch!! Super grateful for each one.

End of September

A family dinner outing to the newer Mod Pizza by our house, where we discovered that they have a free Pac-Man machine. Pretty much the coolest thing ever to the kids!


We went through some of Tyler's old stuff and he tried on his tae-kwon-do uniform. This guy's a third degree black belt! Watch out!


Family walk. I love being in the back and just seeing my family and feeling grateful.


Always fun to stop by the boardwalk - the kids could play there forever.


I don't even remember why I took this picture, except for these boys are adorable!


Making magna-tile towers and then knocking them down while Monka films in slow-motion kept the boys busy for quite a while haha.


We went through a phase where the boys insisted on eating lunch outside every day. 


Reading lesson with this cute boy. 


Millie came home with a poster where her teacher played with her name and she thought it was so fun she wanted to do it with our names too! 


A trip to the other park in our neighborhood.




Heidi and Wes came into town for a few days! It was so fun to see them. 


We went to the Woodlands to see Grammy and stopped by the children's museum while there.






We love to go to Mod in the Woodlands so we can see ourselves on the wall (above Max's head)! But who am I kidding? We love to go to Mod anytime. It's Mod.


The term "three-ring circus" came to my head while the kids were testing out hula hoops in Target one day. 


Playing checkers on the pig chairs at with Poppy Harris County Smokehouse. 


Millie went to a friend's birthday party and her mom sent me this funny picture afterwards. Such a goof.


Reading a story with Aunt Heidi. It was so fun to have them here for a few days!
