First Trip-O-the-Summer!

---WARNING...WARNING...PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!---

We haven't traveled with the quads since Christmas, so we were MORE than ready to hit that road once again. After battling DAYS of diarrhea with four 20 month old kiddies (4 red hineys and 1 exhausted mama), we packed them up and crossed our fingers that we wouldn't have any brown-blowouts on the drive (we didn't...thank you, Lord)...and headed down to Austin to visit the Steeces. We had a wonderful weekend--here are some pics!

FRIDAY AFTERNOON:

Mama & Ethan at Iguana Grill (our fav restaurant in Lakeway--on Lake Travis)



Uncle Ed & Sister Sav



Silly Uncle Dan, Ben-hi-meen, and Dids (Grandpa Steece)



Grandma Kate & Ethan


Dad and Drew (yes...the boys have some crazy hair going on these days...they need a visit with some scissors!)



Ben's silly face...puttin on a show for his Gpa



Sweet Drew



E gettin' tickled by Gma



Sav, showing me her prettiest smile (on command)



The proud bro & Uncle Ed. Eddie just recently received his Aggie ring!!! Congrats!!!



SATURDAY MORNING @ A PARK IN THE HILLS:

Ethan



Andrew



Ben



Savannah


Apparently Ben is going to be my little playground daredevil---climbing to the tops and trying to jump off...fearless.



Yin and Yang doing some swinging before we leave (Ethan in green, Drew in stripes)



SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AT VERDE'S MEXICAN PARRILLA (BEST KID-FRIENDLY PLACE I HAVE EVER, AND I MEAN EVVVVVVER- BEEN TO! IT WAS AMAZING!)

Ed and Ben



Savannah and Dan



Dani and Ethan


Drew checking out the big backyard amphitheater/play area



Dan lovin' on Ethan



Me & Sav



Precious pic of Dani, Ben, and Dan---they were swinging him and he loved it!



Grandpa and Ethan playin in the sun


Grandma lovin' on Drew


Drew LOVES being thrown in the air!



A gal after my own heart---couldn't put the chips and queso down!....."Who, me???"


Dani had never seen the trick that Joe taught Savannah a while back (I claim ZERO responsibility)...



Can't get enough of these smiles! (Drew)


Ethan munching away on some goldfish (Snack Traps are the best invention EVER!)



Dan and Joe pestering Ben


LOOOOONG weekend...the kids need a little time to adjust to life on the road again, but we had a wonderful time! If only I hadn't been greeted this morning with a diaper on the floor, poop in a crib, and a child- naked from the waist-down. Oh the joys of parenting!!! Happy Monday, peeps!

Sprinklers and Popsicles

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful, so we all put on our swimsuits and played in the backyard. It was the quad's first encounter with sprinklers and the water hose. (Thanks for the idea, Mari!) I've got some great pics and good footage of the highlights!

Sassy Sav checking out the awesome sprinkler ball that Chris gave us and pointing to a plane


Drew in the Green, Ethan in the Hawaiian shorts



Ben (pouting after getting sprayed---watch the video, hilarious- but sad for Ben at the same time!)



Some quick snippets of our fun-filled afternoon:





Andrew seriously makes us laugh every day. This kid is beyond quirky--just a different little guy. His personality is hilarious.







Ethan- my little waterbug...obsessed with his bellybutton. He's actually saying "bellybutton" (or his version of the word) in this pic.



Sav carried this "wand" (or drumstick) around all day--she either feels like a princess, or uses it as protection against her bros! (probably a little of both!)



Peek-a-boo never gets old...


My buddies



Ben loves to chill...right here in the same spot. Doesn't move for hours...perfectly content watching the planes fly by.




Ethan checking out the giant ball that sprayed him earlier...



seconds later, Drew did the same thing...


Miss Priss catchin some rays...



LoVe this pic! It reminds me of my childhood and eating popsicles outside in my swimsuit with my cousins...







Ahhh...Happy Spring! We thoroughly enjoy the Spring, because we will be SWEATING profusely in NO time here in Texas!

Clutter Making you CrAzY?

"The word 'organize' and the word 'organic' come from the same place. Organic is
to be whole; to be complete. That's what organization does. Organization
actually helps you live a richer, fuller, less stressed life." - Peter Walsh
Need help with reorganizing that messy, stressful room that you've been putting off???...

I just finished a cool product review for Office Max!

Easter Sunday 2009

Here is a quick Easter run-down: The morning of Easter Sunday, it was rainy and icky here, so the hunt for eggs was moved into our church's gymnasium. (Ben in blue, Ethan in green, Andrew in plaid, and sister in yellow) On your mark....get set....




GO!





Ben did not want to participate (surprise, surprise), so Savannah grabbed HIS basket to hunt for even MORE eggs! (cracked us up to no end!)














The Steece Six (Sav, Drew, Ethan, Ben)


(Thanks for the pics, Dad and Linda!)
