The French Fam has been on the move!

These past few months have been busy for us.  Shawn has been to Brazil twice and is currently there.  We were talking about projects we want to do around the house the other day and he mentioned that he has only been home for 4 of the weekends this year...cuurraazee!! We sure do miss him!

Here are some things we have been up to lately:
  • 01.28.11 - I took the kids to the zoo by myself...yikes what was I thinking? I think I ended up pushing the stroller and carrying Ally most of the time.  Thank goodness it wasn't crowded!


Here are my Superheroes at the zoo!

  • 01.31.11 - Signed Jase up for soccer at the YMCA! He was so excited!!
  • 02.16-20.11 - Shawn and I went to Cabo, Mexico.  6 weeks prior Shawn and Jay (best friends of ours) surprised Michelle and I with a trip...I could not believe it! It was a short little get-away, but we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Just another day in paradise! :)

  • 02.24.11 - Jase's first soccer practice!! He was sporting his Dynamo orange shorts and his Brazil soccer ball, courtesy of Daddy, of course!

  • 03.05.11 - Cousin Dylan's 1st birthday party!! The kids had a great time playing with Dylan and watching him eat his cake and open gifts!  He's such a cutie!! :)


  • 03.05.11 - Jase went to the Rockets game with Grandma and Grandpa French along with Aunt Kimberly, Uncle David, Seth and Coby (his BFF!).  Nanny saved the day and bought him two new shirts for the game...thank you Nanny!! :)  Jase even got to go on the court after the game and shoot a free throw! What a great experience for my sport fanatic!

All dressed up and ready to go!

  • 03.07.11 - Shawn had emailed and told me that the Dynamo was scrimmaging San Jacinto Community College down at UH, so I thought great, Jase will love this!! So, we got all ready to go and headed down there.  Wait...I remember taking the kids to the zoo by myself about a month ago and it didn't really work out...nah, this will be different!  Haha...who was a I kidding?!? LOL! We were there for an hour (after a 25 minute restroom break) and Jase kept calling it the old Dynamo since they were playing on a practice track and field and we were sitting in metal bleachers! There were only 75-100 people there for this scrimmage and you definitely did not get the full game experience.  So, we packed it up and called it a day!  I tried at least!


  

    
  • 03.15.11 - Back to the Houston Zoo! This time we went with Michelle, Emily and Madeline! The weather was just beautiful...I am ready for it to be sunny all day long! We got to the zoo a little before 11:00 and it was PACKED! The main parking lot was full, so we had to park at the hosptial across the street, which wasn't so bad once we figured out what was going on.  The animals were out and about and the kids had a good time!

The cheetah was enjoying the weather too!
 
The lions were very active this morning and were chasing birds!
