Lake Travis with the Caseys

The Caseys made a last minute trip to Lake Travis, and we were lucky to be able to join them. Once again, Nico and Trey had a great time together -- throwing rocks in the water, riding in the golf cart (tractor as Nico called it), and playing on the pirate play scape.

Caseys, thanks for inviting us to join you!

Nico & Carter

On March 1, my dear friend Trisha added baby Gianna to her family. So, one Saturday morning, we headed over to the Hasbrouck's house to deliver breakfast and visit baby Gianna and her brother Carter. Nico and Carter are good buddies!

Nico loved Carter's tire swing

Casey Circus

The Caseys had a circus themed birthday party for Trey (2) and Lily (1). Trey's daddy is Michael, who was Nic's college housemate. Lily's mom is Kristin, who was my college housemate. Kristin's husband, Ryan, and Michael are brothers. Got that?

As you can tell from the pictures, we had a blast!








Nico really hammed it up and got into character.


Nico & Trey ... these two are too funny!

The birthday girl


Mmmmm ... cupcakes!


There was even a choo choo train!


Like most two-year-old boys, Nico loves trains.










Breakfast of champions! We spent the night with the Caseys, and the next morning, Nic and Michael fed the boys hot dogs, because that's what you give boys for breakfast, right?


These two are hilarious, so I had to post several pictures to document their shenanigans.
