New House Progress

I want to document this before we move....and things get crazy...and then I'll forget. So here is a quick re-cap....in March, we decided we wanted to move. We put our house on the market at the end of April and sold it 35 days later. In mid-April we signed a contract to build a house that will hopefully be ready by mid-October. We are out of our old house on August 5th....and moving to an apartment until the new house is ready. We are SUPER excited and can't wait to be in our new house and new neighborhood!!!

Here are some pictures of the house progress so far.....

April - SOLD sign on our lot!!

Swim Lessons, a Party and 9 months!

On Saturday Will had his first swim class! He missed the first day because it was the same day as his birthday party. He loved it and his teacher came and talked to us after class....and told us how well he did. He loves to swim!!

Then we went to Mason's 2nd birthday party....so much fun!! Will and Jack got to swim and play with their cousins and friends! Good times!

And on Saturday this little guy turned 9 months old!! He doesn't go for his check-up until August, so I'll have his stats later.....

Now we are busy packing.......we have less than 2 weeks left in this house....so weird!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

Will's 3rd Birthday Party

Last Saturday we had Will's 3rd Birthday Party!! It was a "splash party" and we set up lots of baby pools, sprinkler toys, the water table, sand box, etc. I think the kids had a good time, even though it was SUPER hot. Will had lots of fun with his friends and family. It was the last birthday party we will have at this house....kinda sad, but I am very excited about the new house!!

Saturday morning Will got to open one present before the party....his new Wow Wow Wubbzy shirt

Party Table

Mike and my mom made this......pretty awesome!

Opening gifts

We let Will open his gifts from us after the party.....and then we put together his power wheel, played with toys, and relaxed :) It was a great day, and I can't believe my little guy is 3!!!

A Quick Birthday Week Recap...

Last week/weekend was crazy busy, but we had a blast! We had a great time with my parents and the boys were so sad when they had to leave. On Thursday we went to the Dallas World Aquarium with Heather and Mason, so fun! Will and Jack loved it!!

Friday we celebrated my 30th birthday....and got ready for Will's party...

My parents took all of us to Neiman's for birthday lunch and SHOPPING! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

On Monday we took the boys to the pool, I thought it was fun they got to see Will in action on the slides :)

On Sunday we took them by our lot to see the progess of the house, I'm going to post pics of that soon.......and next up is Will's birthday party post!!

Will's new ride....

I am way behind on my posts....but I wanted to post a couple pictures of Will's new car. My parents got him this power wheel for his birthday and he is obsessed. He wants to go drive it all the time!!!

Don't worry, we don't actually let him drive with little Jack in the car too :) not yet at least!

We have a crawler!!

Jack started crawling today! He is still getting the hang of it, but he can make it all the way across the room. He is usually crawling to get a hold of Will's matchbox cars :). I can't believe my baby is crawling!! YAY JACK!!

One Week and One Day

In one week and one day.....this little guy is going to be 3 YEARS OLD!!! How can that be possible???
That also means that I am going to be 30 in one week...oh boy. My parents get here on Wednesday and then the celebrating will begin!! We have a lot of fun activities planned, and most importantly, Will's big birthday party is next weekend!!

Jack has decided that he REALLY wants to crawl.....he is trying so so hard! I am sure he will be all over the place very soon.

Yesterday we went to the pool with our friends Jessica and Russell.....very fun!



Have a good weekend everyone!!
