Texas 2009

Last week we went on our first vacation with the boys and the boys did great on the airplane. We decided to fly down to Texas to play in the sun and hang out with family. Luckily we have some really great family that didn't mind us taking over their house and their lives for the weekend.

We were only there four days but we had a ton of fun. We got plenty of pool time and sunshine the first two days. My Uncle even took us up in his plane and we got to do barrel rolls with him. Our third day there we visited the Fortworth Stock yards which have been turned into a tourist area. Our last full day James got to visit both Cabella's and the Texas Motor Speedway. We got plenty of BBQs in and even some great Mexican food. It was also fun to see all the cousins before they get too big.

Good weather, good food, and great company.......we would love to go back someday!

Texas 2009

My Boys

This was our first mother's day at home with the boys. On the way to my parents house for brunch we stopped on the side of the road for a quick photo op. Spring is in the air! The boys are 11 months old now and have changed so much in the last 2 weeks. Everything seems to be coming together for them and it is so fun to watch them laugh and play together.

Progress Is A Beautiful Thing!

It finally feels like we're making progress on the shop and there's an end in sight. This week the big project has been building the rooms for James's machine shop and the loft storage. Currently it's all framed in and electrical has been ran inside the rooms. They are working on siding the walls now..

Happy Easter

It's our first Easter and our parents are still dressing us up like dorks! These pictures were obviously taken the week before Easter because we all know that it always rains on Easter. It was the first time the boys have really ever sat in the grass and they didn't really like it. Mason tried to hold both hands and feet off the ground because heaven forbid the touch that pokey green stuff. I think egg hunting will have to wait until next year.

1/2 Marathon 2009

We got so lucky and had perfect weather to walk our 1/2 Marathon up in Portland Oregon. We finished in 3 hours 11 minutes and had a great time. By 10:30 in the morning we were finished and on our way to lunch and shopping. The afternoon was even better, 70 degrees and sunny. What a perfect way to end the day!

What's Wrong With This Picture?

What's wrong with this picture you ask?? It would be the fact that I put Mason to bed in the crib on the left and when we came back into the room he was partying with Brock in the crib on the right...looks like it's time to drop the cribs down as far as they'll go.
