How Time Flies!!

Wow time has really slipped away! A lot has happened since March. We were really enjoying living in Arkansas and then the economy affected Travis's job and so in May we sold our house and moved to Nebraska where Travis found a new job. We have been enjoying living here too. The house we bought is nice but when we first moved in we found that it did need some more work than anticipated so we kept really busy in the summer and fall getting it up to speed. I have also taken one college class this semester and will take one next in order to get my teaching certificate up to date. Brady and Brock are doing great. Brady Loves school and so that has been wonderful. The weather has been crazy it is -6 degrees right now!! But it is fun to be by family for the holidays and the boys have been eating up there time with grandparents. As always we hope and want to be settled for a while...so we will see. We hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the holidays! My goal this next year is to be a better blogger...So I will write more soon! Here are some photos of our stop to our family reunion this summer at the Mall of America!!

Spring Break and 7 States!

Travis and Brady had spring break last week and so we decided to take a road trip to see family and friends!! We had so much fun and the boys did so good with all the time traveling. We were in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas!! Some of you may be thinking why New Mexico and Texas well because we were trying to avoid the snow storms in Kansas. We did see a lot of snow on our trip it was so pretty and the kids loved playing in it! Here are some pictures:

Don't worry we made sure it wasn't yellow!

The cousins!! It was so fun to see them the boys had so much fun playing together!!

Travis was so good and got right out and helped shovel all the snow and build a cute snowman with Brady!

It was so wonderful to be able to take this trip at this time because I was able to meet my best friends new little girl. They all just got back from China about a week ago. She is so sweet and has the cutest smile. It was so fun to see her and her mom and dad and brother. The boys had so much fun playing with Carter and were so excited about their new outfits from China!!

"UH O Spaghetti O'S"

So I sat the boys down for lunch and then had to use the restroom and to my surprise when I came back I found cute little Brock like this! I thought it was so funny I had to take a picture since it was nothing a little soap and water couldn't take care of!!

Spring has Sprung

We are all so excited that Spring is in the air!!! I love hearing the birds chirpping and see all the beautiful plants in bloom!! Brady loves to be able to wear up sleeves and up pants (what he calls short sleeve shirts and shorts) I have told him that it is short sleeves and shorts BUT at the same time it is so cute to hear him say that. It is so fun to hear how little ones describe things sometimes! I thought it was interesting because I had heard that many times a persons favorite season is the one in which they were born...for me that is true how about you? Happy Spring!!

Make a Smilebox greeting

Brock was afraid and crying at first....But then he got used to Brady's new hands.

Brady LOVES to play ball with Toni. She was exhausted after they played. It made for a nice rest. As with all puppies she is very busy.

Travis and Brady have found some great trees to climb!

Wow I am so excited to finally have a blog. I always love viewing others...so now I can move out of the 80's and into the 21st century and share mine. Well we have had a crazy end of the year. We moved from Texas to Arkansas at the end of November. First we lived in a one bedroom apartment and our stuff in storage until we could close on our house. So finally with 6 days till Christmas we closed and with 3 days till Christmas we got our stuff from storage. We got a tree....(and if you wait that close to Christmas you can get them at a great price)... put it up and decorated it. It was so nice to be in our new home even though it seemed to go at warp speed. Brady has lost two teeth, rides a bike, and attends a new preschool. Brock loves to play outside, play with our new puppy Toni, read stories and watch Wall.e. Trav and I are enjoying getting to know Arkansas. We hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Look mom NO training wheels!!

The day after Christmas Brady learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels. We all were so excited! Maybe Santa should have brought a little bigger bike?

Brock-a-locka to the Rescue

The New Puppy "Toni"

Brady has wanted a puppy for a while now so we went to the Humane Society and found this cute bundle of joy! She is 3 monthes and is very sweet.
