Trip to Houston

Kate and I took a trip to Houston this past weekend. Mike came home from Sweden on Thursday night and we headed out of town Friday morning. We were lucky enough to have my Mom meet us there and to stay with my Aunt Connie and Uncle Johnny. On Friday afternoon, Kate and I visited with my friend Merchie, who at the time was almost 36 weeks pregnant with twins!


Merchie had her twins Monday night and everyone is doing great!!

On Saturday I attended my dear friend from college, Katie's baby shower. It was great to see her and her family and my other friends from college Becca and Abbie. Katie is 27 weeks along in the photo and I am 29 weeks. I am ALOT bigger then she is! Thank you to my Mom for keeping Kate so I could have a great day with my friends!!


On Sunday, we went to my friend Amanda's little girl's 3 yr old b-day party. Here are some pictures of Kate and Amanda's little girl, Mia playing in the pool together!


On Monday, my Mom and I took Kate to the Houston Zoo. It started pouring as soon as we got there and rained off and on the whole time we were there! Even with the rain--it was still really hot!!






Thank you soo much to my Aunt and Uncle for letting Kate and I stay with you and Mom, thanks for everything!!

Stephanie & Frank's Wedding!!

Saturday my dear friend Stephanie and Frank got married!! I had the pleasure of being there, unfortunately without Mike since he was still in Sweden. He comes home on Thursday. It was a beautiful HOT night for a wedding!! Here are some photos in which I am almost 28 weeks pregnant:





Thank you soo much to Aunt Jes and Uncle Brian for watching Kate for me for over 24 hours this weekend!!!!
Kate is still talking up a storm--not always with her new words, but still talking. She is learning new words all the time. She FINALLY said "WooWoo" which is what we call her most favorite stuffed dog this weekend. We finished our 2 weeks of swimming lessons on Friday. We started a gymnastics class on Wednesday. She had a few meltdowns during class, but seemed to like it. She wasn't much of a fan of having to wait for her turn on well, anything!! We are still doing Music class this summer and she still LOVES that!! Mike and I have been working with her on some flash cards & she seems to enjoy it! She knows where we keep them and will ask us to do them with her!! She also seems to "read" books to herself! She will open the book-then say a few "Kate" words, flip the page, say more of her words, flip another page and so on! It's really cute! She is 21 months now, which I just can't believe!!

Sweden

Mike will be leaving for Sweden on Thursday (for work)so I will be playing the role of a single Mom for a week! Pray for me that I make it!!

Waco Zoo

We took a trip to the Waco Zoo on Saturday & had a great time!! This zoo was super clean with lots of shade & places to sit (or should I say places for me to rest!!) We all had a great time seeing all the animals!

MNO-pedicure party!

The Mom's group that I LOVE had a really fun MNO this month. We had a pedicure party at this local spa in downtown Pflugerville. It was super fun to get pampered with some really great ladies! Thanks goes to Kelly for the great idea and planning the whole thing!! You rock Kelly!!

New words!

Kate said Duck yesterday and today she just said "Paw Paw!!" Too bad her Paw Paw is in Ireland, or we could call him so he could hear her!!

The River

Mike, Kate and I attended my family's annual river weekend this past weekend in New Braunfles. I was excited for Kate to have her first experience of floating the Comal river!! I was 5 the first time I made this trip with my family and floated the Comal, so I was glad she could start earlier in life than I did! She actually loved it! She didn't even seem to mind how cold the water was. I thought she would be happy staying in a tube floating with Mike or myself, but no that crazy kid wanted to be in the water!! We put her tube on and a lease and she was off!! It was a great weekend and great to see the Robertson side of the family! I can't believe that next year we will have TWO kids when we are there!! Yikes!!









Be sure to check out the new videos!

Kate & Jax at Metro Park

25 weeks

Bounce house fun!

Mike, Kate and I went to a party Saturday night and Kate had a blast in the bounce house! I didn't think we would be able to get her out of it to leave!!

Our anniversary night

Kate, Mike and I went out to celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary on Friday. Kate was in a great mood and we had fun at dinner.

Next, we headed out for ice cream. I'm beginning to think that Kate is a bad Abernethy. She refused to eat any ICE CREAM!! AND she still hasn't eaten any cake or cupcakes!! I think Mike and I are the only parents that are trying to force their kid to EAT ice cream!! We tired over and over, but she wouldn't let us fed her any ice cream. We tired to give her a spoon with ice cream on it, but that didn't even work! Mike ended up just putting some on her face--so she could at least LOOK like she was eating ice cream!
