Lewis Family: July 2012

Eli and Mady

Our two youngest have really big personalities and it is becoming very obvious that these two together equals trouble. Ben works really hard to keep everyone on the straight path, but these two often disregard him. Poor guy! This girl is teeny, but she can out eat any person in this house.

Ellis Clan

Our friends the Ellis' were in town from Dallas and we were able to get our little group of moms and kiddos together. It is amazing to think that when we first started hanging out there were only 6 babies between the four of us and now there are 12. Needless, to say we have all been busy. It was so great to see everyone and the kids loved playing. It will be interesting to see where we all go from here.

ZOO!!

Near the end of June Brian's mom and sister came to San Antonio for a visit. I know you cannot tell from the pictures, but we are at the zoo. The kids were exhausted when we left, but we were able to see a lot of cool stuff.

SA Children's Museum

Our Groupon was days from expiring, so we took the kiddos to the Children's museum. They had a ton of fun. I am happy to report that Mady loved shopping. I am constantly praying that she does enjoy a few girlie things.

Knuffle Bunny

We took the kids to the Magik theater for Knuffle Bunny. They loved the adaptation. Mady was not as impressed. As soon as he popcorn ran out, so did she.

Hadley's Graduation

Brian's little sister graduated from high school the first week in June. Although Mady did not make the trip, she was with us in spirit. We are very proud of Hadley for a job well done and a great speech at graduation on top of everything else.

Last Day of Preschool!

The last week of May was a week of lasts. It was our last soccer game, last day of preschool, and the last time Ben and his boys will be in the same school. Ben had a wonderful year at UUMC. He loved his teachers Ms. Irene and Ms. Willow. He really loved "his boys" which is indeed how he referred to them. It was the cutest collection of boys in his class and they all played together incredibly well. The teachers even confessed that it was truly the best class ever. I guess it is rare to have 6 mild mannered boys all at once. We are really going to miss everyone but the mommies are trying to keep things together.

Soccer

Well, we gave soccer another shot and Ben really made some vast improvements. He progressed from being on the opposite side of the field to actually staying near the vicinity of the action. It was a lot of fun and Coach Milk was amazing. His BFF Gaige was on the team and they really enjoyed spending the extra time together.

Driving Miss Mady!

Clique title-I know but they were so cute driving around in the Jeep. Mady is so fearless. She thought it was hilarious when Eli drove recklessly. These two are going to be trouble because she definitely ups the anti. They are little adrenaline junkies.
