Austin Family Music Festival

The Biscuit Brothers! Live music! Farm animals! What’s not to like about the 6th Annual Austin Family Music Festival?!?! This awesome event was held last weekend at the historical Pioneer Farms. I have never heard of this wonderful farm before and boy, was I crazy about this place. The weather could not have been more perfect for a day of fun in the sun with our kids. I wish the weather like this ALL the time in Austin. I could dream, couldn’t I?! Our friends Alan, Kathyrn and their beautiful daughter, Siobhan joined us and we had a blast with them.

Meet Buddy. A baby black sheep that was 6 weeks old. Very sweet and he was great with us. I  was especially fond of Buddy since I have never seen a live sheep myself. I think I was more giddy about meeting him than our kids I think. People with kids always told me that my life would be different after having kids of my own because I would live my life through their eyes. That certain is true now for me and I am so much more appreciative of life than I ever was before.

This is Jordan. He works here at the General Store. Very soft spoken cowboy.

Pioneer Farms offers classes such as Dutch oven cooking, quilting, knifemaking and even blacksmithing.

I loved the fact that Jalen was able to see, touch and feel almost everything this farm had to offer to the public including this antique plow.

Of course we had to see the donkeys!!!! I mean, “bonkeys” as Alan called them.

While visiting one of the old farm house that displayed many different music instruments for kids, I came across this little cutie named Gus. I could not resist taking photos of him. He held onto this guitar like a pro and knew how to ROCK it!

Gus’ mom said his father was a musician. Then it all made sense. A musician in training! Loved his outfit. Loved his red boots. Loved him!

Time to go home after a fun day at the farm. (Thanks Kathryn for taking this photo for us.) Whether it’s with my family or with a client for a photo shoot, I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend you stop by this wonderful, historical farm if you haven’t yet.

Thanks to The Biscuit Brothers for coming to Austin and putting on a fabulous family music event!

Baby Disco Comes to Austin!

Baby Disco came to town few weekends ago, so few of us took our kids to see what it was all about. It was raining earlier that Sunday afternoon, but luckily the rain went away and we were glad we were able to attend. Even the rain wasn’t going to keep our children from dancing their buns off!

Funny thing was all our kids were just happy to be outside exploring instead of dancing inside! Here is Jackson eating and posing one for me. Such a cutie!

Camilla possesses quiet, but spunky disposition about her that I love so much… and she’s beautiful just like her mama.

Samaya has one of the best facial expressions I have seen on a toddler. Every time I see her, which is frequently, she makes me smile ear to ear.

Happy Easter!!!!

Jalen’s 1st Easter egg hunt was a success! Not sure if Jalen was really looking for any eggs, but we had fun and that’s all that mattered. The weather was perfect, over 15 kids, 300+ eggs in uncle Mike’s front yard and backyard. And let’s not forget the amount of food that we had which could have lasted few days. Here are few snap shots I took from today’s festivities.

Makai was Jalen’s age when we all moved out to Austin from Bay area almost 2 years ago. They grow up so fast.

Annika is Makai’s older sister. She is one of the brightest and personable girl I know. She’s definitely a leader, not a follower. Love that about her!

Looking for eggs was fun, but to see what was inside was even more fun! They were loaded with candies, money, stickers, etc. This was definitely not the first time at the rodeo for Alycea.

Who needs small eggs when you come across big, colorful eggs! That’s what I’m talking about Jalen!

Look at that smile… I keep falling’ in love over and over and over again with him… EVERY DAY!

I can’t deny that he IS smart. He had a blast and is looking forward to next year when he can clear uncle Mike’s backyard!!

So cute! Jalen looks like he’s more interested in what’s INSIDE the egg. He’s smart.
