Moving to Waco!

Yes we are moving to Waco! When we found out about NASA layoffs due to the shuttle retirement we decided that it would be a good time for us to go. We had been thinking about moving to Waco for awhile because my brother+family live there and we always liked the idea of the cousins growing up together, we like the area- the west side is beautiful Texas hill country, we want to raise our kids in a small town or country environment, and lower cost of living. So we decided to put our Pearland house up for sale and Jeremy started to look for a Waco job. God has provided so many things for our move! Most importantly Jeremy got an assistant principal job in Waco ISD! And I was able to get the self-nomination for my job layoff! I plan to stay home with the kids in Waco! We found a beautiful rent house on an acre for the price of a duplex (friend of my brothers)! And we found a realtor in Waco who is a brother of our good friend here! So many blessings.

So Jeremy starts his new job on Monday, I stay here with the kids for 6 weeks till my job layoff, and please pray for our house to sell. Here's the link. We have an open house on Sunday!

Exciting times for the Kidd family! Our first big move!

Our rent house:

Brady taking some steps!

Beach House 2010!

We had a great vacation at the Galveston beach house my parents got!

Lots of fun on the beach, but Brady kept eating the sand and putting sea shells in his mouth!

Brianna loved the time with her cousins!

She even got buried in the sand with Kyler.

The kids enjoyed the time with Gigi and Grandpa too!

Playing with Aunt Sharon!

More Summer Fun

We love hanging out in our new camping chairs.

We are enjoying the splash park and the pool too.

And going to the zoo with friends!

Brady's 1st Haircut

Brady's hair was getting long in the back so we took him to get his first haircut at the same place we took Brianna. (Click to see those old pictures) He didn't enjoy it like Brianna did, he didn't even want to sit in the seat at first. So here is the before shot.

You can see how long it was in the back.

He was okay at the beginning.

But then he did not like the close clippers or the scissors! A boy haircut was much worse than a girl haircut! Brianna was watching the whole thing intently.

All done! He looks like a big boy now! He's almost 14 months.

Short in the back. :)

Summer Update

We are enjoying our time with Daddy off for the summer! Mommy is still working 3 days a week at NASA. So we enjoy the long weekends together. Here are some pictures at the Bayou Wildlife Park- Brianna and Brady loved feeding the animals and Brianna had fun riding the pony! We are also enjoying going to the zoo, playing in the pool at our waterbabies class, and getting together with friends. Daddy is going to start Daddy day care in July when our babysitter stops working due to her pregnancy- we will miss you Alfredia!
Also Brady has started saying a few words-mama, dada, bubba, uh-oh, ow, and hi! He will probably start walking soon!

The ostrich was loving the food!

Our 10th Anniversary Trip!

Jeremy and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary June 3rd! Jeremy found this beautiful place with little hidden cabins called Hideaway Ranch near Glen Rose, TX that we stayed at! We had a great time! It was far from town down a dirt road!

They had great restaurants nearby, this poboy was at Loco Coyote! It was the best BBQ!

There were several hiking trails at the ranch and lots of animals, llamas, horses, longhorns, chickens.

This was the view from our cabin.

The inside of our cabin. It was decorated so nice. The owner of the place was so sweet too! They had a chuck wagon dinner on Sat. night!

The outside of our cabin. We had a hot tub on the porch!

We also did a vow renewal at the ranch. They have a pastor who comes and does a little ceremony at sunset. It was so neat!

Thanks to Jeremy for planning this weekend and thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for watching the kids for us! :)
