Got a sitter and broke free from baby jail to take the boys to Barton Creek Falls to swim. It was late August and super hot....we thought we had the best idea ever
Well that is until we hiked down to them and seen this. whoops, guess since it hand't rained in a month it dried up. But 2 good rains and that big cliff in the back becomes a nice jump rock into about a 6 foot pool of water. Welcome to the Hill Country
J decided we should just keep hiking up stream to wear the water pools up. we did some hide-n-seek along the way. These pics make it look like I'm such a great mom and we do such amazing things outside. The reason I took the pics is because this we the ONLY time all summer I did something outside of my yard with the kids. And I whined a whole lot on this hike bc it was hot and i wanted to go home. I'm just going to keep it real
This is a facebook/twitter/instagram worthy pic. I was surprised that it turned out so well is why I did post it on Facebook
Here's a real pic. C screaming bc he's an angry little toddler and J doing some weird face because he like to annoy me. I'm only smiling bc I could see the camera other wise I would have a ticked off look on my face. Motherhood aint easy.....but it has some great moments too. I think only about 40% of the toddler years are great tho....that is fact!
turns out J's idea was good....Glad i didn't throw a mama-fit and want to go home to the a/c. When I told him that I was glad I held my fit-throwing self in and went with his idea. It made a little light go on in his head. I find myself apologizing a lot to him, because lets face it, we owe it to the 1st born
When she puts that thumb in that means it's time for a nap. Having the 3rd be a great sleeper was a huge blessing with 3 this close in age.
Just a 2 seater?
Not a problem for this trio
She loved getting rides from them. she'd climb on that thing, bounce up and down and squeal till one of the hobo's took her for a ride
Best thing we ever bought that summer. There was no way I was going to take the Trio to a pool. Talk about stressing yourself out. Plus, naps. need i say more? They could play for hours and I could drink wine in my own backyard. Perfect summer for mommy to survive. The more kids I have the less i pass judgment on any mama. We're just trying to survive the little years, amiright?
worn out kids and a peaceful segway into dinner time
on occasion I would go meet a friend at one of their pools. It was doable but not my fav. C is the best sharer in the world. He loves to feed his sissy
Some shoes she picked. Girl is a little fashionista
One VERY hot August morning we went to the wildlife refuge place just north of Drippin. Some crazy mix of animals there. The kids had fun feeding them off of the truck we rode on. I on the other hand stayed far back from the bar and took pics. Mama wasn't a fan of touching them
When she 1st started waving every time a camera was put up to her. ha!
C is a animal lover. Loves all of God's creatures and has no fear, even with snakes. wwwwww
Kid cracks me up
