The Summer of 2010 is OVER!!!

Well, at least according to Labor Day rules...our summer is gone!

Brook loves the water...so she took her last swim of the season.


Katie was looking for some underwater creatures...

See you guys at the beach...NEXT YEAR!!!!

First Glance...

of our Halloween mermaid! Katie got this really nice costume for her birthday...so be ready for the final product...

One last pic of the birthday scene...

Surfside Birthday

Katie had the first of her birthday parties this weekend for her friends and family down in Surfside. Luckily, the weather held up for an amazing birthday and Labor Day weekend at the beach!

Katie picked a Mermaid birthday for her beach party...


Such a big girl!

Enjoying her gifts...

On a swimming break, reading with her friend Akira...

Just Because

These two really do love to hang out together! Here they are climbing back and forth through the table...and, Brooklyn is actually the ring leader in this craziness! Little sister often gets big sister into trouble...

Such a poser...

Chocolate popsicles are fun...and VERY messy!

For everyone involved!

Just a Few of Our Closest Friends!

We went to the zoo to hang out with some of our friends a few weeks ago...and we had fun!

The elephants were having fun...

The giraffe's were stretching their necks...

Brooklyn was enjoying the coolness of the inside exhibits...

And, Katie was swimming with her fishy friends the pirahna (is that spelled right?)

Well...HELLO!!!

Does anyone even look at this anymore? Well, I am going to keep posting! I was checking out my camera last night and realized that I have not posted a whole lot of fun Aust stuff! So, I will try to do that this week. The first week of school is down and out of the way so I might actually have time...maybe! So, if there is anyone out there...I will be posting soon! Plus, Katie's 4th birthday is coming up...so that will have to be memorialized as well!

Night in Old Fred

We got lucky that they were celebrating Night in Old Fred while we were in Fredericksburg...it is a German party...lots of awesome German / Polka music and even more BEER! We had a blast and the girls loved it!


Brook jammed out to some Polka...I am a convert for sure!

Just enjoying some tunes and watching the dancing...

Katie wanted to dance...but she just watched because those people were GOOD and Mommy and Daddy are not so good! (Note to viewers...please excuse the nasty nose in this pic if you zoom in...the allergies were serious in the Hill Country...many tissues were used in the process of this photo shoot!!!!)

Doing a little dancing of her own...showing off her new tutu...
