The 12 Days of Christmas: April 2013

Team Fogarty's 12 Days of Christmas, highlighting our most treasured moments of 2013, continues today with our April memories!

April was a month to remember! Our dear friends, Dawn and Chris, got married and Grace was one of the flower girls; we cheered on Grace at t-ball; we enjoyed a Round Rock Express game; and we had fun with friends! Here are a few of the highlights:

The 12 Days of Christmas: March 2013

Welcome back to Team Fogarty's 12 Days of Christmas, our blog series to share the highlights of 2013!

March was a BLAST! From the Zilker Kite Festival to St. Patrick's Day Fun to Easter egg hunting, we made a lot of unforgettable moments.  Here's the recap:

Grace and Amber at the Zilker Kite Festival for the first time! We LOVED it!
Grace and Colin were in awe of all the kites! We had such a fun day!
We celebrated St. Patrick's Day at Austin's official celebration, hosted by the Austin Celtic Association.
Nana and Mommy took Grace and Colin to see Sesame Street Live in Waco. It was precious, especially when the kids got to meet a bunch of the characters before the show :)
Grace insists that she is not grouchy, but likes Oscar the Grouch!
They liked the cotton candy as much as the Sesame Street Live show!
How fun does this look?
Amber and Grace at Sesame Street Live. It was a day filled with smiles!
Amber and her brother, Billy, went skydiving (again). It was Amber's first skydive since having kids, and they came along to watch her take the plunge. Grace thought it was so cool, and Colin couldn't have cared less! He was content with playing outside with sticks and dirt, and never even looked up to see Mommy parachuting down.
Mommy and Grace post skydive...Grace asked if she could skydive too, and Mommy promised her they would do it together on her 18th birthday! 
Fantastic weather in March means family fun at the playground!
Colin really wants to master the monkey bars! 
Grace is growing up way too fast! She is one determined young lady!
Where does she get that from?
The Easter Bunny stopped by our house...Hooray! Happy Easter!
Colin got "binoculators," which absolutely made his whole month!
Grace and Mommy at Easter Mass at St. Edward's
Colin and Mommy celebrating the miracle of Easter
Make a wish!
Egg coloring fun and some bubbles too!
Easter Egg Hunting in our house...we rehid the eggs at least 5 times
because they were having so much fun!
Determined little rock climber at Hewitt Park
Grace is quite the rock climber too!
Colin hunting Easter Eggs at Nana and Pop-Pop's church
Grace was a fierce Easter Egg Hunter :)
Celebrating Easter at Nana and Pop-Pop's house with a fun Easter
cake and Nana's famous peanut butter eggs!
Let's do some bike riding!
Fantastic sister/brother Easter pic taken at St. Jerome's (Nana and Pop-Pop's church)
They really do love each other :)
Thank you for sharing March memories with us! The 12 Days of Christmas continues tomorrow with our favorite moments from April 2013 :-) Stay tuned...

February was filled with fun! Check out our most treasured memories...

Colin and Mommy love to laugh together!
We took a train ride together to celebrate Colin's birthday, and it was AWESOME!  We all enjoyed every moment of it. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and in addition to the train ride, we had a picnic in the park, fed ducks, and got to see a Wild West Shootout that was epic!
Colin was fired up to meet the Train Conductor!
