Austin time

We were going to go up to Austin on Saturday but it rained 10 inches in a few hours in San Antonio. We were so worried and working outside in the rain to make sure water did not get in the house that we did not take pictures.  It had slowed by the afternoon but many roads in the city were closed so we did not go up to Austin until Sunday.  To help us out, Jim and Alba watched Andra while Andrew and I meet my parents and went to an awards dinner (see below)

While we were at the dinner; Jim and Alba took Andra around campus!

Just one picture they sent me

I received the NISOD Excellence Award for teaching in Higher Education.

What made it extra special was that my Mom and Dad were there as was my mentors and friends Suzel and Carolyn.  My Dad was there because of his job at TJC but my Mom, Suzel and Carolyn were just there for support.  Jim and Alba were going to go but stayed with Andra instead.

OK,  that was my pat on my back :) 



off to the zoo

After the performance we took Andra to the zoo.  We had promised her we could eat at the zoo, little did we know the resturent would be closed.  She did not mind eatting snack food for lunch.

Then we went to feed the birds

 and went to the petting zoo

 

 Then we walked around the rest of the zoo and just enjoyed the day.

Brown Bag day

Andra's school had their end of year singing presentation called Brown Bag Day

Here is are the 4-5-6 classes

 they were dogies singing a few dogie based songs

they did a great job!

Kiddie park time

Andra and her BFF had a great play date at Kiddie Park

For those not from SA this place has been there forever, it was recently redone but still looks a lot like it did when I was a kid

Mother's day fun

For Mother's Dave Andrew gave me a great gift, I got to sleep in !!!

Andra wakes up at 5:30am everyday..Sunday-Saturday..and she wakes up happy and ready to go, she is the example of bright eyed and bushy tailed

 

When I did wake up, Andrew asked what I wanted to do so after church we went to lunch

 and then for a ride in the park.

It was a fun family day

Saturday in Pflugerville

First stop...Taco Shack

 Then we went to Amanda's house so Andrew could look at she computer and we could just hang out

Then I took Andrew and his friends to the Rogness 1year anniversary (the picture below was taken when we got home and Andrew was testing a coworker his new phone case)

 Amanda took Andra to Madeline's soccer game, I got there just in time to see Andra being the orange handout girl...Andra was very excited

 Then back to the cousin's house to play with their pets

 When the brewry time was over Andra and I went to pick up Andrew and his friends.

I wish I had pictures of this but alas I do not; probably a good thing.

Three "old" men drinking lots of beer in the sun most of the day....

Jacket in May?

We went for our normal bike ride today ....not normal was the temperature...
