Trip to Texas...

We made a quick trip to Texas for a wedding in Austin. Before the wedding, we stopped in San Antonio to try to figure out where we want to live when we move there in July (yes, that is the word right now from the military...San Antonio). Law school friends of mine had us over for pizza and wine (although heavier on the wine than the pizza) and the kids got to play together. The two below are known as the "Bar Babies" as they were conceived as soon as we found out we passed the bar (I went to law school with Robin's dad Kip). The girls played until midnight and then sacked out...

And here they are when they were almost 2 years old playing in San Antonio...wow, they sure have grown although Robin still beats Alexis in height!
And here is their latest addition...Kipling Jr....I think he was checking his diaper to see if he pooped in this picture...

And here the kids are playing with another law school friend of mine (Bob) - he is talking on a play phone and I think the girls have swords of some kind...they chased him around the house (this was about 11 PM).

Then we headed to Austin after mommy rolled out of bed...Sara Brady (the oldest daughter of Eric's old Army boss Dr. Brady) was getting married. The rehearsal dinner was at County Line (BBQ) and it was awesome! Here is Alexis at the dinner...

We spent the morning with another law school friend of mine Sheri and walked Congress St. in Austin and then had lunch outside... Here is Alexis with Sheri...I don't think she wanted to say good bye...

We rested for awhile and tried to get Alexis to nap (don't know why I even tried...) and then it was time to get dressed up...Alexis bought this dress about 2 months ago and has been dying to wear it...she even had a matching headband and a fancy white purse.
Posing on the steps at the hotel...

Close up smile!

Someone offered to take a family shot and Eric actually smiled!

Alexis wore her shawl outside...

The wedding/reception was at Green Pastures in Austin...they had peacocks walking around the side lawn...Alexis wasn't too sure about them...

And here is a picture from the wedding held outside...it was a bit chilly but it was a beautiful setting...

Then it was time to party...Alexis got her Shirley Temple and of course asked for additional cherries! The reception was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious...our favorites were the potato station, chocolate fountain, and Bananas Foster stations.

I think this is the longhorn sign that she was doing...Sara and her sisters all attend(ed) UT...

Here are Sara and Aaron dancing their first dance...

And Sara dancing with her dad Dr. Brady (Eric's old boss)...

Then it was time for Alexis and mommy to dance...Alexis sure did have the moves... Alexis dancing around the perimeter of the dance floor...

Alexis found a flower and decided to pose...

After all that dancing, she decided to take a break and make a call on her princess cell phone...not a very lady like position with a dress on but I guess she will learn as she gets older...
Alexis' first attempt at catching the bouquet...she didn't get it but she managed to get a rose from the bouquet and the first thing she did was walk over and give it to me...so sweet!

Alexis was in there dancing with the big girls...who even picked her up to dance with her...she was having the greatest time...

But then she said her feet started to hurt and when she put her head down, she was out for the count...

She found a cozy place on the floor to sack out!

And now we are back in Denver waiting for some snow...
