Keep Austin Weird

The Henderson Family made a road trip to ATX this past weekend to catch up with our sweet friends and family we left behind when we moved last summer. We spent Saturday evening hanging out at Lake Travis, oh how we miss thee!






Sunday we were able to get together for dinner with family and catch up on the past few months. Chase had a great time checking out new toys and playing with his second cousins Chloe and Liam.

Play date with Ella!

I had to share a few pictures I took this afternoon. Our friends Krystle and Ella came by for a mid week play date. We took the kids to the community pool for the first time and they loved it. Chase wasn't so sure about the giant bath tub at first but quickly got the idea and had a great time. We came back to the house for lunch and playtime.

Chase had a package waiting in the mailbox yesterday from Nonna and Papaw in Dallas. Chase was so great at hosting tea parties with the pink/purple set my mom felt he needed his own set daddy would approve of :) Chase was happy to share his newest toy with his best friend. He and Ella were so cute munching on plastic potato chips and were occupied for much longer than we expected. Chase and Ella, who we have already arranged to be married someday, are just a few months apart and play so well together. Ella says Chase frequently and Chase today called me Lel la.

A Very Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all you mommy's reading this had a very special day on Sunday. We got up earlier than usual and went to the early service at church, where I always seem to get more emotional than usual on Mother's Day :) To make my day special Chris decided it would be fun to make the hour drive to Kemah to have lunch and see the sights. We enjoyed a yummy lunch at the Cadillac Bar and Grill on the boardwalk with a view of the ocean and plenty of seagulls looming overhead :) It was a relaxing day to just hang out as a family walking through the shops and seeing the boats. We took the ferry across to Galveston Island which Chase loved.

Our little man made 14 months on Mother's Day, how time flies when you're having fun! Nothing makes me happier than having my amazing husband and our son by my side, my cup runneth over!





Just like Daddy

Daddy's Helper

After being away from Chris for an entire week Chase has been daddy's little shadow. Chris had some much overdue yard work to take care of Saturday and Chase was happy to help.

Melty Time!

We've been in Dallas all week while Chris is attending a conference at the Gaylord for work. Chase has seemed to learn and pick up on so much this week which makes me sad that daddy is missing out on it all. I've sent plenty of pictures to keep him posted that he proudly shares with co workers.

He picks up a new word everyday! My parents faces light up every time Chase says Nonna or Papaw and he even surprised us all by saying Jenna a few times this afternoon! His vocabulary now includes, momma, daddy, nonna, papaw, papa, dog, suck, bubble, jump, drink, shoe, uh oh, ball, car and a few more I can't seem to remember right now.

Nonna has taught Chase to use my niece's old tea set. He makes the shhh sound while he pours from the purple tea pitcher and mmmm after he drinks the pretend tea out of the tiny pink cup and is always happy to share.

I've taken advantage of having a babysitter this week and have made a few shopping trips with my sister without Chase, who I miss dearly when I'm gone. I love walking through the door and having him run to me, hug my legs and say ahhh momma, it is the best feeling ever!

We celebrated Mother's Day, Papaw's and Jenna's birthday since we won't be in town this coming weekend.

Chase and I met my bestest friend, Misty Lynne, and her two kids for lunch and play time at The Shops at Willowbend today. Chase loves playing and watching older kids and quickly tries to mock their actions. Monkey see, monkey do! His new thing is jump, he says it as he attempts it, I have to say it's pretty amusing to watch. He loves to climb which I am not too thrilled about, it's keeping me on my toes for sure! He can now climb up on my parents couch and successfully climb down. He is growing up just a little too quickly for me!
