Happy Mother's Day

We had a great mother's day! I just feel so blessed to have my two precious children! We didn't take any pictures on mother's day so this is a cute one from Brady's party. :) So on mother's day Brianna picked out some flowers for me and a card that plays music and she danced for me- it was so cute! Then we went to Mother Neff state park and had a picnic there which was a lot of fun. Brady loved hiking there, he was almost running down the trail, but Brianna, our girly girl, wasn't as interested, she prefered to ride on Daddy's shoulders. It was a great day!

Brady is 2 Years Old!

Happy Birthday Brady! He had a fun Thomas the train party at the gazebo in Poage Park! He had lots of little friends come!

Here are the cousins on the frog!

He liked opening the presents!

And he liked the cupcakes too!

He is doing very well. Very happy and smart! He sleeps well all night in his crib and takes a 2 hour nap during the day. He is always excited to see Brianna and he calls for her and says 'Brnana come here', he likes to hold her hand to take her to play. He loves to watch Dora and Diego. He likes to eat most things except veggies. He loves to play with trains, cars, balls. He loves to go outside and take a ride in the wagon and go down the slide. He loves to read books. He colors some. He likes going to his mothers day out class and walks right in with no crying. He loves to ride in Daddy's truck. And he gives the best hugs! :)

Height: 36 1/2 in. 95%

Weight: 31 lbs. 80%

Head: 49 1/2 cm. 70%

And they say you can double their height at this age to see how tall he might be so that would be 6 feet tall! :)

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter Weekend here. The kids got to have Easter egg hunts at Mother's Day Out and we took them to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. They enjoyed that! They also loved their Easter baskets full of all kinds of candy and we hid some eggs for them to find in the living room on Easter morning. Here they are dressed up for church. :)

Brady had fun doing his egg hunt. He figured out what to do right away. :)

Life in Waco

We have just finished unpacking and things are getting back to normal! We have been in our new home for about a month now and we've been in Waco for over 6 months now. We are really enjoying it here! We love the weather, the smaller town, no traffic, the country feel. We have found a good church and joined a lifegroup. I am also loving being a stay-at-home mom! The kids and I have a lot of fun playing at home and in the backyard, going for walks, doing crafts. We have also kept busy going to a women's Bible study, mother's day out, and MOPS this year. We also love playdates and seeing our cousins! Sometimes the kids like to get in our bed in the morning and watch Dora. Brianna has her baby doll and Brady has his train.

Brady loves playing with trains. He asks for them everyday!

Brianna likes to play dress up.

Brady has started using a spoon!

Here they are getting ready for Easter- playing with Easter eggs and Daddy. The kids are so excited when Daddy gets home from work. :)

And we have enjoyed the bluebonnets out this year!

Moving into our new home

We moved into our new home the beginning of March, but we have been so busy unpacking I'm just now putting this on the blog. Moving went well, but the unpacking is a slow difficult process. Here is Brianna helping Daddy load the Uhaul. Grandpa and Uncle Chris helped too- thanks so much!

Here are some of the boxes piled up in the rent house. We have soo many boxes!

Here's the kitchen on the new house. You can see the new tile work, new counter top, and new paint!

Here's the new kitchen tile with the neat border we found at lowes up to the old living room tile.

New carpet!

Brianna and Brady like the new home!

Here's the back porch and the huge back yard that we love!

More pics of the backyard.

Here's the front of our new home! More pics of the inside once we get it unpacked and decorated which will not be for a loooong time.

Working on our new house

We closed on a house in Waco in the Speegleville area in December and we have been doing some work on it before we move out of our rent house and move in. It is a four bedroom, two bath home with a huge backyard! Here are some pics of the work in progress. Here is Brady's room. We painted it grey and navy. We took out the carpet so it is easier to paint now too.

Here is the guest bath. We are putting in new tile floor.

Here is the master bath. You can see the new tile and new paint.

Here is the garage. Jeremy painted it grey and put epoxy on the floor. He loves how it turned out!

Here is the work in progress on the kitchen. You can see the new backsplash and we are putting in tile floor and new counter tops!

Here is Brianna's room. This is her closet. Her room we painted pink and purple!

Here is a pic of the front of the house. I still need to take one of the backyard. We look forward to moving in soon! It is so much easier getting the work done now while we are not living there and the kids aren't in the way!

Snow Day!

It started snowing last night and we woke up to a beautiful view!
Brady wasn't too trilled with the snow, he didn't like wearing gloves and then his hands got too cold when he took them off, so he didn't stay outside long.

Brianna liked it, but her hands got too cold too! Texans don't have snow gear!

This is where Jeremy goes fishing, the creek behind our house, and it froze!
