Fun with our Sonic Straws

It's the little things right?

Pflugerville Library

We love this library. It's up the road a bit but well worth the drive. Story time is great and the reader is so animated. The kids actually sat down and listened. The theme for the day was summer weather. HOT HOT HOT. And the weather that say was most definitely hot.



Abigail and Porter



Playing afterward





They even have an old tub the kids can play in. What a great idea for a playroom.

In the dog house



Both kids in the dog house



Making friends



Computer time. Porter is getting the hang of the mouse.



Look at those mouse skills



Afterward, we got to play on the big bell. (3 sets of twins in this pic) Mine, Christel's and Susanne's twins.

Last week Emmy and Ruby came over to see us. AKA Rowdy Girls. (They were in the NICU the same time Abigail and Porter were) The kids swam and Christel and I sweated our butts off outside. We came in for snacks and playtime afterward.

Abigail and Emmy



Yeah, I'm bad



Then later on we were fighting over who got to hold the phone to talk to Grandpa



We are still learning about turn taking. As soon as someone gets the phone they immediately say "Abbey turn" or "Porter turn"

Fourth of July

On our way to the neighborhood parade.



Even our friends Jack and Caden were there. They were sort of under the weather.

We're on the train!! Abbey specifically requested the green car



Little hands holding on



Is she really my daughter? I have to pinch myself.



See dad and Porter up there?



We are tired and hot here. On our way home to take a nap and to gear up for later on that night.



After nap we.........





....strung some beads. The kids loved it.



Builds dexterity.





Very good Bubby.



Lots of practice.



Then we headed to the annual cookout on the corner. Hot dogs, hamburgers, cake, salad, watermelon.





Porter making friends



Then we peeled the kids away screaming and crying because they wanted to watch the fireworks. Little did they know that we were gonna bathe them and head to see the real show.



Waiting in the back of dad's car



Getting a little stir crazy waiting. Porter scared everyone with his dino as they walked by. He'd go Raaaawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



Ok here comes the show



Worth the wait.

*We finally get to sit down at an event. After 3 years!
