Oh my... where has the time gone!?



Wow... its been 2 months, and you all have missed so much!











Basically, the entire month of April we were all sick. It seriously went from one person in the house to the next and then started something new all over again! We did have a few handfull of days where we were all healthy and we went camping in our new travel trailer. We went to Bandera and stayed on the river. The kids loved going down to the river and throwing rocks. Everytime she sees rocks now she asks if she can throw them.


We were able to also fit in a trip to see the Gregorys and visit Sea World!!!

We also had a great month of celebrating Easter. We first went to the Hurst house and enjoyed burgers, an easter egg hunt, and a great time with great friends. Then we had an easter egg hunt at Sadie's school and finally wrapped it up with an an egg hunt on Easter at our house. We hosted our family and a few friends this year. It was a lot of fun!
May started off with another camping trip. This time Glen Rose for Mother's Day. We took the kids to see the dinosaur museum, Dinosaur Valley State Park, and Granbury for some shopping on the square and Babes for Dinner. We've also had some trips to visit Jeff's grandpa and Annastatia and swim in their pool! The kids love going to grandpa and grammy's house!!!


The next weekend our church hosted a Women's Tea... it so much fun preparing for it and seeing everyone dressed up in their dresses and hats. We had a great time.



And 2 days later we put our house on the market... hahaha!!! We bought the house as an investment and decided, lets see if we can get what we want for it and we had our eye on something we wanted!! 2 weeks later, we had a contract on both houses and in July we should be moving!!! We keep saying, this is our LAST move! Its getting a bit ridiculous... but hey, we never claimed to be any different ;)


June has already started to turn out to be a FULL month! Filled with playdates, trips, summer fun, and lots of celebrations. This month it is my mother's birthday, my birtday, Sadie's birthday, and our anniversary!!! The kids an I went up Friday to celebrate my mom's birthday, which was Sunday. We had a great dinner out at Cheesecake Factory and then walked around Southlake Town Center. Then Jeff came up Saturday for a client. We took the kids and met the Hurst for dinner and ice cream. I just love that they live so close to my mom now! Sunday we took the kids to swim with my sister, her husband and kids. The kids loved it!!! Then we had lunch at Jason's Deli to finish off the weekend! What a great time!

Fun outside

I just love when spring time rolls around and we can start enjoying the outside! Here are a few pictures of the kids playing in our back yard.

A Sunday Visit


Last Sunday we took the kids over to visit Nana and show them a surprise Nana got them. A PLAYHOUSE! Sadie keeps talking about it! I'm bummed I didn't get a picture of them playing in it. Then we all drove out to Grandpa Norris and Grammy's house. We hadn't seen them in awhile. Sadie has finally warmed up to Grandpa Norris and Tripp just loves him. And of course, Sadie is still a huge fan of Grammy!!! We had a great time visiting with them and enjoying a Sunday with family!

Oh my... where has the time gone???

I just realized I haven't posted in some time! And to be honest, I've been awful at taking pictures!! Last week for Spring Break/St. Patrick's Day, the kids and I went and stayed a few days in Keller. We did some shopping, way too much eating, played with the Hurst's kids, had lunch with my niece, spent the day with Chicher (my sister), dinner with the Hursts and a last minute stop on the way home to see Decker! We had a great week! Saturday finished it off with Tripp and Daddy going in one car and Sadie and I stopping at Hobby Lobby and letting her pick out fabric and ribbon to make a "princess dress". We enjoyed just some girl time!
Here are some pics of the kids on St. Patrick's day in the shirts Mimi made them:

On our way to see Channing and Jaxson... someone is VERY excited!

Playing school

The night before Sadie was supposed to start school she wanted to play school with her babies and Daddy. She had them all lined up in her "classroom" as she read them a story. Tripp was the class clown that wouldn't cooperate for the teacher ;)

S'mores... YUM!

A few Sundays ago, we had a beautiful day, so Jeff and I decided to grill out and invite the Oplotniks to come over and roast s'mores with us. It was so much fun and watching the kids eat s'mores for the 1st was pretty neat!

Sadie's 1st day of Preschool

Sadie waws supposed to start Preschool on Febuary 1, but since school was closed for a week and then she had the flu, she didn't get to start until February 10. The day she went was also her Valentine's party, but I didn't know until I dropped her off at school. I felt so awful, but her and the other kids didn't know any different. That moring we got up, had a great breakfast and hurried to get her ready for her 1st BIG day. Daddy went with us to drop her off. SHe was ready to go with her Rapunzel nappy nap (nap mat), her Tinkerbell pack pack (backpack), and her princess lunch box (All which she picked out herself!!!). There were no tears shed when we dropped her off! She loved it and loved her teacher!!! There are only 3 other children in her class, 1 girl and 2 boys. When I picked her up the teacher said she did great, but didn't eat much. I think she was so excited! She also sadi that Sadie is a "talker"! HAHA... yes, yes she is!She said she is very curious and asks lots of questions. She is so excited to go back! Oh, and on our way home she told me that her teacher had to throw away her blueberries because she kept throwing them on the ground. I love that at 2 1/2 years old, she will tell on herself!!! I just love her so stinkin' much!
