Cousins

Shawn's older brother, John, recently moved back this way. His two youngest sons are with him and his oldest son is now a freshman at Blinn in College Station. We are excited to be able to start spending more time with them. I think when Shawn and I started dating back in 1996 they either had just moved out west of town or were about to. And when Shawn and I were at UTSA in 2000, his brother's family lived about an hour from us and we were able to spend some quality time with them then. Since then we have only seen them over holidays or summertime. So now that they are back in town, we are pumped!

Yesterday we went to support Alexander {John's middle son} at his first football game at his new school. He made some good plays and almost intercepted the ball a couple of times. We had a car full of cousins while watching the game! 

Cousin Weekend

Jase was so excited for this past Friday night: his cousin Coby was coming over to stay the night.  They ate pizza, they played the Wii, they played Legos . . . it doesn't get any better in Jase's eyes!!

Then on Saturday evening, we picked up Ethan and headed out to the Aeros hockey game.

After the game, we got to go on the ice and that was really cool! They passed out miniature hockey sticks, but they ran out about two people before us, which was a bit of a bummer, but the boys still had fun.

 

Amy's Baby Shower

This afternoon Allyson and I went to my cousin Amy's baby shower. She is expecting her second child, a little girl, on May 10th. Her son, Dylan, was there today so he and Ally got to play some.

Amy got some super cute things and I know little Miss Avery will be dressed to impress! :-) So fun!! I meant to get a picture of us together, especially since we are both expecting, but you know how that goes. I did manage to get a picture of our little ones together and they are cuter than me! Enjoy!
