Family Photos take one!

2009-05-11T19:36:00.000-07:00

A photo is worth a thousand words. Well I think they are just reminders of all that you have been blessed with or blackmail for when the boys get older. Either way I am happy!!!

Gampa

2009-05-05T18:41:00.000-07:00

Grandpa came to visit this weekend and I am afraid we wore him out. The boys had to show him everything and would jump on his back anytime they had the chance. Dad got so tired that he decided to lay on the floor for a bit and Jax got right in his face to ask "Gampa you dead or are you juss seeping" (translation Grandpa are you dead or just sleeping). It was so great to have him here and can't wait to take the boys next month up to Idaho to see the rest of the family. We love you Gampa!!!

Swimming

2009-05-05T18:36:00.000-07:00

Summer is here and my boys can not wait for our pool to open. They found their goggles the other day and were swimming all around the house for about an hour. I had to wait until nap time to take them and hide them so they would stop asking when we were going to the pool. For some reason when our pool opens was not a good enough answer to them.

Easter 2009

2009-05-05T18:10:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter this year. This was the first year that we could do an egg hunt and have the kids understand and do it themselves. Last year they would pick up an egg and try to eat the candy inside. By the time they got to it the hunt was over. Brian had to work the Saturday before so we just did our own hunt at home. It was a little sad that we had no family to get together with but fun all the same. Everyone got some candy so everyone was happy! Thanks Nana for our Easter outfits.

Our family had the missionary's over for dinner the other night and as soon as Troy saw them he ran upstairs put on his tie and wanted to wear his name tag but had no pocket on his shirt. He didn't say much at dinner but kept his eyes on them. That boy is getting to big!

That is right this is our little girl.
Daddy thinks her bow is too big
but I love it! Try saying "NO"
to that face! :)

Camping

2009-03-25T15:05:00.000-07:00

Our family went camping this weekend. It was the first time since Troy was a few months old. The boys loved it. No real rules, no shirts and they got to go potty outside. Who am I kidding they do that all the time at home. We had never been to this spot and were not expecting the water front view. I packed all pants and boots for everyone but lucky we had a pair of back up shorts in the truck. The boys loved Smores. They kept calling it their Happy Birthday when it caught on fire ( which was all the time). We had to cut them off because they would make them and Brian and I had to eat them. We had a great time and plan to do it again!

Ladie Horns!

Family went to a Texas basketball game. Brian's company redid the stadium and now has a suite there. I tell you what watching a game from the stands will never be the same. We get spoiled and it is all you can eat and drink. The boys loved the pizza more than the game and Andi was the only one who was brave enough to get her face painted. That is my Girl!!

Peace at Last

Andi will not take a binky but this week she found her fingers. Now the hard part is going to be getting them out! She is so cute!!!

Family Time in the Sand

2009-03-13T19:25:00.000-07:00

Weather is getting nicer and that means more time outside. We have a park up the street from our home that has a huge sand pit that you can dig up dinosaur bones. Notice how in all the pictures Troy does not sit down in the sand. He Hates Getting Dirty.

Little Andi

2009-03-13T19:15:00.001-07:00

We are so glad to have our baby girl home and well. She has been through a lot in the little time she had been with us and been a champ though it all. Her personality is just starting to show. She is always smiling like Jax and even at three months she talks up a storm. Our home is never quiet anymore. She loves to be center of attention and being the only girl she gets all that she can handle. Her mamma love to play dress up with her and thanks to her Grandma and Nanna you will never find her without a bow in her hair. In fact if I forget my boys will remind me "You forgot the bow Mom." We love our little Roo dear!

Jaxson Wayne

2009-03-13T19:01:00.001-07:00

Jax just hit the terrible two's and boy is he playing it up. You will always find him with a smile on his face. One of his favorite things is to box. There has been a few times in church that he has tried to get his dad's attention so he has punched him square in the jaw. Brian had to admit that it hurt a little. He looks up to his older brother and they have become super close. So close that he will do anything to make Troy happy including taking the blame for everything Troy doesn't want to fess up to and he will do it with a smile. He is also very protective of his sister. I have caught him a few times telling his friends to get back they were too close to Andi. He is potty trained very proud if it. His nursery learder told us he showed all his friends in nursery his underwear the first time he got to wear them. He loves everyone and is our little pig!

Troy James

2009-03-13T18:45:00.000-07:00

Troy just turned three this year. He is a clean freak and a stickler to the rules. He is also DRAMA KING. You look at him wrong and it may end in tears. He is a great older brother and loves nothing more than to be just like dad. Then other day I caught him in our bathroom with the sink full of water and a bobby pin. When I asked him what he was doing he told me shaving like dad. I emptied the water and told him to get down. He told me he couldn't because he missed a spot. He still loves to cuddle and play with ears. If you get him going he will turn into Batman and use his super powers. Every night before bed you will hear "I love you too much, we best friends!" He is our little Troy Boy!!!!!

All because two people fell in love!

Brian and I have celebrated our 4th anniversary this year in February. It is crazy to think it has been that long and how far we have come. We moved to Austin Texas a little over two years ago and love it. The thing we miss the most is our family and friends missing out on our kids growing up and let me tell you they are growing up so fast. It is fun and scary at the same time. I have just gotten good with babies but toddlers and little people is a whole other ball game so we are going to start a blog to let you all in on our little family growing and learning together.
