Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter and several days leading up to it. The boys had a great time at their school's egg hunts and then had 2 on Saturday. Hayden is so good at spotting eggs. Mason is busy with both soccer and t-ball. We aren't sure if he'll be able to do both since they are on the same days and pretty much the same time, so he may have to pick one. Rex is really starting to move. He is scooting on his belly to everything. Things around here are going to be changing. Our house is not baby proof. Hayden is all about counting down until his birthday. He's always asking 'Who's birthday's next?'. I'm getting ready for the Nashville Half Marathon. I did the Knoxville one a couple of weeks ago, so I think I'm ready for #2. Here are some pics from Easter.

New pictures

OK, so I haven't been the best at updating the blog. We are getting ready for spring and warmer weather and hopefully more blog updates. Enjoy the pictures from this past weekend in Nashville celebrating Jada's birthday and Rex is almost 8 months.

Zoo and the new house

The weather was so nice and Mason was out of school last Friday, so the 4 of us headed to the zoo. They had a great time seeing the animals. I've also included some pictures of the house, especially my favorite room, the kitchen.

Rex's Half Birthday!

It's hard to believe that Rex is 6 months old. We celebrated yesterday(8th) with a 1/2 birthday cake. Mason and Hayden loved it. They love any excuse for cake. I felt sorry for Rex since he couldn't have any. We are also enjoying the warm weather. I'll be sure to post pics of the house soon.

The past month

Well, it's a been a month to the day since I've posted, so let me recap the month of January. I turned 32 at the beginning of January. It was a low key birthday since we were wrapping up finishing the house, but fun just the same. We moved January 17 and let me just say I love my new house. We are still getting settled and have a lot of stuff still at the old house that we have to sort through and move over. We are all enjoying the extra room. I'm loving my kitchen. Rex turned 5 months and is still a blessing in our family. We went to Nashville towards the end of January to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. Mason celebrated 100 days at his school with a big celebration. He was out of school for a week due to weather. That was an interesting week having all 3 and trying to stay on top of my work. Larry is staying busy and is taking on some very interesting cases. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some details about them later. Hayden is still loving yellow cows and is working hard on potty training. The camera is at the old house, so there aren't any recent pics, but I wanted to update the blog anyways. Wish us luck on selling our other house.

Christmas 2008

The little Paleontologist hard at work.










Well, we survived Christmas and all the aftermath. We are still digging out from all the toys. Santa brought Mason Kota the Triceratops along with a hunting play set and more dinosaurs of course. Santa brought Hayden a BIG yellow tractor, a yellow cow, and a farm. Santa brought Rex some diapers, formula, and wipes. It's what he asked for! I've invested a lot of money in all those little storage bins to try and contain the mess and all the little pieces. We'll see how long it lasts. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Quick update on the house: We finalized our granite Christmas Eve and they will start fabrication next week and it should take 2 weeks. They are laying the carpet today, so it looks like we will be moving in about 2-3 weeks. I guess I should start packing.

Getting ready for Christmas

In between Christmas school programs and Church programs, we managed to fit in a trip to Dollywood and Breakfast with Santa at the zoo. The boys love seeing all the lights and the shows at Dollywood. This past Saturday, we went with friends to have breakfast with Santa at the zoo and the kids loved seeing his reindeer. This year, we have had an elf visit our family everyday. His name is Jingles and the boys have loved him. It's so funny to watch them talk to him. He arrived through 'Elf on the Shelf'. Be sure to check their website out. We spent yesterday making cookies and getting ready for the big day. We hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas.
