Reilly is 1!!!

MMMM, sugar. Reilly loves to eat so he really enjoyed his cake. Especially the fondant drum sticks.

We got this great cake from our friends at Capital City Cakes. Check them out. It was delicious.

Fall Fun

A day at the Dallas Arboretum with our friends Owen and Wyatt. The place was very beautiful, my pics won't do it justice. It was the place to see lots of pumpkins and have lots of photo moments.

Introducing Batman and Robin. Robin had a great time at our neighborhood Halloween party. Batman didn't want to leave the bat cave, but had a good time once he found the bounce house.

Nan got to come with us to the festival. I think she had more fun than both boys.

Aunt Bre got to stop by that weekend and we carved a pumpkin.

Walking!!!

He is very proud of himself!!!

Who could this be????
The Jedi Master on the look out for stormtroppers.


Chasing birds. These birds are like the ones from the old movie and there are lots and lots of them.

Wow An Update!!!

Well all is well here in east texas. Just wanted to post a few picks of the boys. They are getting so big. Hopefully all the computer issues are fixed and we can actually post a little more often than every three months.

Hanging out in Austin


Noah by the "freezing tower' as he calls it, which it is called the iceberg building I think.
Visiting the childrens museum...thanks for the hook up Ashee!!
Noah recently got glasses. The day he got them I forgot to actually just show him how he looked in the mirror and later in the day he saw his reflection and said . "Hey, Harry Potter!" So we call him Noah Potter sometimes.
Building castles and buildings. Admiring our handiwork.

WE'RE HERE

Well we made it. We've moved to greener pastures (literally-because it actually rains here)!!! We are excited to be a part of the metroplex. It was a fast move. From Matt's notification about getting the new position to his first day was only three weeks, so we are very sorry to those of you who we did not get to hug good bye! Be assured that we miss you all!

Matt has already started his new job and really likes it so far. He is excited to be a part of growing and progressive district that is planning and doing things for the future of the district. Also one that uses up to date technology and lets him have (share) a secretary. He's not sure how that will work, but I am sure he will manage:)

The boys and I are good, we have been getting reaquianted with old friends who live in the metroplex and exploring a bit. They have about adjusted, but just as that happens we have started our search for a church. Boy there are a lot of choices here so we may visit quite a few as we are not real sure where we will end up living more permanently. So if any of ya'll out there have suggestions we are all ears.

MOVING DAY

Noah was very concerned on moving day that the donuts for our'crew' get loaded. He kept sneeking them on to the truck.

Our Crew - our nephews Josh, Jake, Conner and Alec They worked hard and were great. We were lucky they were in town visiting, which was another reason we decided to move in a hurry before our help headed back home.

8 years of stuff!!!!

Ready to go...Noah got to ride in the big truck with Daddy and had a blast.

First night in the 'new city' as Noah calls it. Nobody had trouble sleeping that night.

View from our back yard

For those of you in West Texas, that's Rain!!!

Noah turned 4 July 21.

Reilly, the chubby boy, has just been hanging out. He loves to play with Noah. He seems to love the new city too!

We Are Moving!!!

Dear three people who check this blog,

We are off to the DFW area and have only a few weeks to get there. We are thrilled with this opportunity for Matt and are looking forward to being in a large town with lakes and stuff to do and most importantly some family near by!!!!!!! So I will ask your forgiveness for not posting much the past few weeks and probably will not for a few more weeks. We have a lot to do and very little time to do it so I better get packing.

Happy Summer everyone, when we get settled in we will update you on all our digits, etc.

Noah Funnies

Since I have posted alot about Reilly , here are some fun things Noah has been up to.In March Noah, Reilly and I took our first road trip with out Daddy. Actually it went very smooth, no major crying episodes. It was nice. We went to see my Mom graduate from pastry school. At the school they served great food and here Noah just grabbed a huge piece of bread and started gnawing away.
On that same trip Noah also had his first Starbucks (my mom and I love Starbucks and stop often when we are together). Noah requested some coffee as my sister and I were getting out of the car to go order. They have stuff for kids (who knew) so we ordered a kids cocoa and he called it his chocolate and cream. He really enjoyed it. I told him they only sell it in Austin. Shhh, that will be our secret. Also you may notice the head phones. My mom has a DVD player in her car so he was listening to his movie with his wireless headphones. Remember the days of 'I spy."

'Workin Man', Here's Noah helping us tear down an old building that was in our back yard, cleaning up old shingles.

Noah has also recently has started to love Legos because of the Star Wars 2 lego game that he plays with Matt. So we finally got a small real set today and he made this apple tree. I was pretty impressed.

Okay Traci, there's an update!!! I'll update some things about Reilly later.
