Mueller Airport Farmer's Market

We had yet another awesome winter day here in ATX.  Perfect and we just HAD to be outside.  We haven't ever gone to the farmer's market down at the old Mueller airport.  I could totally see us moving there.  It is awesome.  The homes are all eco-friendly and have very cool modern architecture.  The Farmer's Market is in one of the old hangars.  It is a fairly large one and there are also food trailers with all kinds of popular foods.  The actual housing development has a great pond and a fun playground.  I love finding new places to go in Austin that are relatively inexpensive and a lot of fun.

The Lion King and soccer star Chewy

Look at Peanut getting some love.  She adores the kids, even Matthew.  When she was younger we called Peanut Licky.  She was almost (well, she really was, but almost sounds better) annoying because she wouldn't stop licking things.  She has mellowed in her old age.  She still loves cuddles.  She is going blind, though.  Somehow she is ALWAYS underfoot.  One of these days I am going to break an arm because I tripped over her.


Meagan and Natalie went to see Lion King with Grandma Lois and Papa Joe.  The girls had a blast.  They chose their own outfits and accessories and even got some lip gloss.  Baby Jenny didn't get to go because her outfit wasn't very fancy.  These photos crack me up because everyone is lit up like angels or something because of the sun coming through the window.  Speaking of the sun, this weekend was filled with the most wonderful weather.  The girls got to play down by the LBJ museum, on the hill.  We don't take advantage enough of UT being nearby.  It offers a lot to the city.   

 Matthew was still too little to go to a Broadway musical, so he sat this one out.  Papa Joe, though, had some exciting news for Chewy!  Papa bought him Elmo Live tickets.  They are going on 2/16.  I have not explained it yet to the little dude, but I know that he will love it. If I tell him now, he will want to go now.  Like right this very second.
Grandma and Papa brought him this super cute soccer jersey from Argentina. Chewy (Matthew's biggest nickname) is really into the shirt.
