We went and had a picnic by the lake one day.

The girls wanted their picture right here. :) I always like when they request a picture.
Daphne enjoyed the sunshine. It was a little cold so I enjoyed snuggling her! She had fun going for a walk and looking at everything. Especially the birds!
Daddy and the big girls had fun throwing rocks in the water! They could have stayed there forever! This was the beginning of Sadie's bottle cap collection too!! She really enjoyed looking for the "pretty" ones on our walk. I found an old rusty one that wasn't good enough. Daddy was glad about that! A girl after his own heart...no germs, well not as many! :)
For all our Austin friends craving In N Out, you have to go downtown to P. Terry's! It is the closest tasting burger and fries to In N Out that I have ever had! It was SO good! They have brightly colored picnic tables to sit at under some trees and even a sand box for the kids to play in. Eating that food and being outside in the beautiful weather, I felt like I was at the In N Out in Ventura. Seriously delicious! Their shakes are heavenly too.
The family! (The girls were taking turns taking pictures of us eating and of course a friendly Austin person offered to take our picture! People are SO friendly in Austin! I love it! - Can you tell I miss Austin?)
Daphne enjoyed her lunch of Sweet Potatoes and some fries! She loved it!

And the birds loved Daphne!
The day after Christmas we took the girls down town to the Erwin Center and saw Disney Live! We loved seeing Playhouse Disney Live a few years ago, so we got them tickets for Christmas. They were so excited to wear their new skirts that Daphne got them for Christmas. Again, they requested a picture here. :) Love it!
Such big girls! I can't even believe how fast they are growing! They are so fun!
This show was so perfect! They had ALL the characters we LOVE! Of course Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofie, and then Cinderella, and Woody, Jessie (or as Lucy would say, Jelsie) and Buzz Light Year and Tigger.
Cinderella getting pretty for the Talent Show, with the help of her Fair God Mother.
Having so much fun!!
Daphne was kicking a yelling and loving all the action! About half way through she just fell asleep! So cute! So tried so hard to keep her eyes open and watch but sleep won. I loved it since she normally is not much of a cuddler! Lucy took a picture of me and Daphne.
Lucy was SO excited to see the cast of Toy Story! She is really into it right now. (obviously since she was Jessie for Halloween!) We should have put her in her costume...but I didn't think of that until we got there and saw little girls in princess costumes.
I loved the toy soldiers from Toy Story. They were really cool. They did a stiff dance routine and came to help when the car broke down. They looked so cool!
The girls wanted some refreshments but EVERYTHING was $20! A drink, $20. Popcorn, $20. Snow Cone, $20. Cotton Candy, $20! It was ridiculous! Some of them came with a souvenir cup or something but some didn't. We ended up getting a drink and popcorn just from the snack bar. I know, so boring! They enjoyed it just the same!


My goodness. This "little" girl has got some curves! And oh do I LOVE them! We don't have small babies, but Daphne is surpassing them all! Sadie and Lucy were both right around 20 lbs at their 9 month check up. Daphne was 24 1/2! And she keeps getting bigger! She is just barely starting to crawl! I personally think it is because she is just too big. But then she kept getting bigger since she is 


She sometimes has to yell to get some attention around here with all these crazy kids. She definitely has some lungs!!
