Wildflower Center

We decided it was time to see the wildflowers in bloom so we took a trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center today. The kids favorite part was the water falls and streams and seeing the bluebonnets. Brayden also loved climbing up to the top of the tower to look out. The flowers were beautiful and there were butterflies and birds all over too. Definitely worth the trip.Checking out the turtlesAt the top of the tower

Dare Devil

I know some of you are saying, "you took pictures of this instead of getting him down?" But trust me, he does this a lot these days. Cody cannot walk very well, he is clumsy and falls down a lot and runs into walls, we have the scars and boo boos to prove it. However, Cody is a master at climbing, he can climb anything and does every day. The other day I found him on top of the breakfast room table hanging on the chandelier. Climbing the rocking chair and launching himself into the crib is his new trick. He can also climb out of the crib as well - dropping 5 feet to the floor after he lunges his body over the side. I'd say I have a bit of a dare devil on my hands. So I can't just let him injure himself, the emergency room is not my favorite place in the world. So I fixed the problem by buying a crib tent, it was the best $50 I have spent. He can't climb in the crib and the best part is he can't climb out either. I also signed him up for My Gym class where he can climb, jump and play all he wants.

Brayden wanted to make it a little tougher on Cody by spinning the chair out from under him - thanks big brother.

new house update

The beginning part of building a house is not exciting. We now have dirt and it is spread out and are waiting on the plumbers to come before they can finish the slab. It has been a slow process so far with the rain adding to the delays. Here are the newest pictures.Our new addressThe boys on the lot

New House

As most of you know already Bill and I decided to buy a new house. We decided to build a new home in Belterra (a subdivision 7 miles west of where we are currently) because it gave us the best options as far as floorplan. We put our house on the market on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and we recived 2 offers by that Saturday. One of the offers we couldn't refuse and we accepted it on January the 27th, the very same day we finalized the contract on our new house. There were a ton of emotions involved in selling our house. We have really come to love our neighborhood and all the people on our street and close by. We love our house, it was our first and we made so many wonderful memories in it. We will miss everything about it dearly. But we are looking forward to a new bigger house for our growing family. Plus we already know some of our neighbors in the new place and they are GREAT! There were a couple of minor details I won't bore you with here that made the lease back option on our house not a reality so we packed up all of our stuff and moved to an apartment close to Bill's work. We have a lot of stuff in storage but we are really enjoying the apartment. It is the nicest one I have ever lived in - remember college - this is not like that. So I said all of this so I could post some pictures of what we have been doing since, so here they are.The lot with no work done. We took a trip to the lot one COLD Sunday, here is Brayden all bundled up.
