Soccer in July! We made all our Saturday morning classes, and we did a make-up (from missing in June) one Thursday as well. And it just so happened they were filming their commercial during the Thursday make-up class, so maybe the boys will get to be on tv! Ellie keeping herself entertained (and full) while supporting her brothers :) We have tried putting Ellie in a soccer class at the same time, and she doesn't participate very well! BUT she loves acting like she's being left out! Haha! Pretty sweet moment between these two!  Filming a commercial! Kids are playing Duck Duck Goose...  Ellie is obsessed with water fountains, so we get several sips of water while the boys are playing soccer!  Barrett and LJ warming up together one day! LJ loves when we get there early enough for this to happen!

Bike riding!!! Most nights after dinner (because it is just TOO hot before dinner!), the top request at our house is to go outside and ride bikes!! Ellie has a tricycle that was a hand-me-down from Eve, and the boys have their new bikes from Capi and Gigi with training wheels. Our street is a perfect place to learn how to ride!  Around the pocket park side walk they go!!  Sometimes Ellie finishes first and then walks Bella for me!

We finally made it to the Austin Aquarium! It's been open about 2 years, and I have always wanted to bring the kids but never made it! Finally the boys'  friends Braxton and Boulin invited us to join them. She said to keep expectations low, so we did, and it ended up being the perfect thing to entertain all the kids for a couple hours on a hot summer day!  Petting sting rays...  Evan feeding them!  Weird!  Boulin feeding the iguana lettuce!  Feeding ducks lettuce (I did not know they ate lettuce!)...  And the turtle! Lettuce goes a long way at the aquarium!!  Ellie liked petting the big tortoise!  Evan loved playing wth all the little sharks and figures... surprise for him- the Blue family got him all the toys he was playing with for his birthday! Yay!  Kids found a photo booth- love these!!!  Such a fun time here!! It is not a great or big...
