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

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

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!

Hi, I'm new to your blog... I was asking on my blog for mamas with multiples and someone mentioned your blog. I hoped over... saw how adorable your family was and added you to my google reader! :)
Looks like you had a wonderful trip! I was born in Austin TX and have a lot of family there. It is a beautiful city!

As a former Cleveland, I totally approve of Joe's hat!
Your kids are so adorable, Suz. And the fact that you are able to take them out to eat is an amazing testament to your parenting skills. God chose wisely when he made you their mommy.
The kiddies are getting so big in these pictures! They look all grown up :)
So STINKIN cute...seriously! Their personalities are just shining through and they are still as precious as ever! Glad you guys had a great weekend!

Love the pictures!! Such a precious family!!! Luv Ya!
I love when it's a picture overload! Love seeing your precious babies!
Ok, awesome pix of the quads (as usual)! They really are adorable! But since I have fashion on the brain right now, I have to know what kind of jeans are you wearing and where did you get those sunglasses? I love your style!
What a fun trip for everyone! The kids are getting so big, and the boys' hair is cracking me up!! :)
Fun! The kiddos are getting so big!
I know you don't know me, but I've been reading your blog for at least the past 6 months, maybe a little more. I've come to love your little family & can recognize which kiddo is which without the labels these days. We're from Texas, too, actually not too terribly far from y'all. My family is in a little town right outside of Tyler!
I just wanted to thank you for your blog. My 12 1/2 year old daughter LOVES babies, so I shared your blog link w/ her and she reads it from time to time to catch up on the cute little Steece quads. I know that your blog is always safe & 'clean'. And I know from comments you have made throughout that we share the same faith.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your life with my family. May God bless you!
Oh my goodness...quad cuteness overload!! Glad you got out and enjoyed yourselves:)
I just have to say...WHOOP!!!!!
I love her sticking her tongue out, that's GREAT! They are all so precious, you are so blessed.
I can't believe how fast they are growing!
So cute! It looks like you had a great time. My inlaws also live in Austin, but I had never heard of VERDE'S MEXICAN PARRILLA. We will definetely need to check them out the next time we are in town since kid-friendly is at the top of our list with 4 boys ages 1-6.
the quads are adorable! and you my dear, are gorgeous :)
They are so adorable, they bring a smile to my face everytime! :)
I'm so glad that you had a nice time down here in Austin. So you love the Iguana Grill...we love that place too and also the Oasis because they both overlook the lake....they have some incredible sunsets over the water but from some of the pictures I can tell just how low they are! Didn't know about the kid-friendly Mexican place so we will have to try it....thank you for the hint!

Suz....
I found your blog through a friend and am ADDICTED! I sat down at my computer "just to check my email" when I put my 2 year old down for her nap....she's still asleep and I'm still sitting here! My husband and I are Aggies AND native Texans, but we're currently in NC.....living vicariously! Must admit...when I first found yall I was all, "Do I know them?"
Yall are so much fun and your babies are PRECIOUS. Just wanted to let you know how great it is to read your blog....will be checking back!
Blessings...

It looks like you all had a blast! Wow that was a lot of pics!
Wow that was a bunch of pics, and I loved everyone of them. Good stuff!
Make sure you check out Vlogemotions tomorrow at Fort Thompson. Hollie just designed the button for it. Its gonna be so fun.
If you havent heard she was in the hospital last night so pray for her.
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Oh my gosh this looks like so much fun! Although traveling with toddlers is lots of work mixed with fun!
Love all the pictures. What adorable little ones! (Glad the diarrhea ended for them...and you!)
Man do your identical boys look COMPLETELY identical or what? How in the world do you tell them apart? They are going to be fooling their teachers in no time :)
Great post!
Jac
I love the pictures! They are growing up so much. So fun!
Suz, my best advice to you is "DUCK TAPE"! I remember the days of diapers and finding naked babies!! A word of warning, little boys like to pee everywhere!! Good luck!!
