Happy New Year 2009!!!

Merry Christmas!

We are still trying to get last minute holiday plans done. It feels like I have been baking cookies for weeks! I am very thankful to have today off! I have a ton of stuff to do! Jacob is still at his grandma's house and didn't want to come home last night because they where going to roast marshmellows. So Isabelle is about to go to "school" for a few hours so I can get some work done, mommy's little "helper" is a pretty big mess maker, and a bit spoiled too! So here are some of our pics from the Christmas photo shoot the kids did a few weekends ago..mommy, daddy and Bradon are MIA....daddy was in France, Brandon was working I think, and it was all mommy could do to get the kids bathed, dressed and out the door!!

Stay tuned for the next update! Merry Christmas!!

Car Show

2008-11-28T19:22:00.000-06:00

We loaded up and went to the car show today. It was Jacob's first time he was so excited to go! He kept running around yelling "Look at that hot rod daddy!" He was so excited and wanted to take pictures of all the hot rods. I will spare you a look at any of those photos, let's just say he didn't wait long enough for the picture to take before he was moving the camera, and with all the lights there are some quite interesting photos! He did get to meet Venom and Wolfe from American Gladiators. He thought that was really "sweet"!!

He wanted to take a picture with Isabelle.....

Happy Halloween!

Tonight we celebrated our first "holiday" in our new home. Jacob has been looking forward to trick-or-treating for a few months now, and he was so excited to get ready. Our neighbors organized a block party/meet your neighbors party. We had a really good time! All the kids (about 15) went door to door as a group to collect their candy! Jacob came home with a bag full, even considering that there is still not very many houses in the neighborhood yet! I must say I was pretty bad about taking pictures (I need to work on that!)

I got a group pic of all the kiddos in the costumes, a few of Jacob, and none of Isabelle until she finally fell asleep in the stroller!!

All moved in....

and ALOT of catching up to do!! It feels great to have a home again! We still have boxes every where but at least all of our belongings are under 1 roof, and not in storage!

I am hoping to do alot of "catch-up" posts soon (in between all the un-packing!)

So those of you who don't know we built our new home in The Falls at Imperial Oaks with David Weekley. We had a great experience with our builder and really love how our home turned out.

Here are a few random shots inside taken about a week or 2 before we closed..

Busy blogger

2008-08-06T22:40:00.002-05:00

I have been neglecting my blog with good reason. We have had so much going on the last few months. We are at the present moment trying to get everything out of our house to close on the 15th. We sure have accumulated alot of stuff over the last 7 years here! I promise to do lot's of updates once things settle down.. by the way Isabelle is walking now and in June and July she cut 4 more teeth (that make 12 now I think!)

SOLD!

2008-07-22T21:31:00.000-05:00

We came home to a SOLD sign in our yard today! I have been really bad at blogging lately; there has been so much going on.... I know some of ya'll know how crazy things have been. I will try to back track some things when we get done packing (we are closing on August 15th).... stay tuned!

Pre K Graduation

2008-05-29T22:37:00.002-05:00

Jacob had his pre-K graduation program from school today. All the kids were so cute... They sang songs, showed off their skills at spanish, and sign language too. Then they had a little diploma presentation and each kid had said what they wanted to be when they grow up. As there teachers announced their names and what they were going to be they walked up to receive their "diploma"!! It was so cute. There is a little video at the end of this post. Jacob wants to be a future football player!! Well he certainly has the body structure for it!

Mommy's Lil Mess Maker....

2008-05-24T22:19:00.000-05:00

Isabelle is 9 months old today! She is so independent and wants to feed herself so tonight I stripped her down to her diaper and let her "feed" herself. She was so happy and made the biggest mess!! I don't know if I am going to be doing that again anytime soon!!

Cheerios

2008-05-12T23:01:00.003-05:00

Isabelle has been so funny lately..she wants to eat!! She loves those little puffy fruit stars

and those wagon wheels !

Tonight I thought we would try Cheerios for the first time, and she really seemed to like them. She has been a little particular about feeding herself, she hasn't really been interested in her baby foods, and cries but as soon as she has something she can feed herself she is so happy!!!

She's a swinger!

2008-05-03T22:14:00.003-05:00

Isabelle LOVES her new swing...the weather has been so pretty and she loves being outside swinging with her big brother. The faster the better, and the more she laughs and smiles!!

Bathing beauty....

2008-04-27T22:14:00.000-05:00

I've been such a "bad blogger" latley so I am going to try and play "catch-up"...

Jacob wanted to help me give Isabelle a bath this evening, I have a really cute video of him bathing her too, I will have to download it, it just takes forever!!!

Happy 8 months Isabelle!

2008-04-24T22:45:00.004-05:00

Happy Birthday Party Koen!

2008-04-07T21:34:00.000-05:00

Sunday was 'baby' Koen's birthday party, Jacob always calls him baby Koen.. We had a really great time at Rocket City Fun Station.

He had such a blast playing all the games. He actually rode his very first ride on bumper cars and I think he now has a new favorite! Here's a few pics of cute lil Koen!!

When we got home and Jacob was suppose to be taking a nap he lost another tooth, so that makes his 5th tooth lost since last year! That tooth fairy must have a money tree!!!

Busy Weekend!!

2008-04-06T22:48:00.004-05:00

Well this weekend was a busy one! We definitely could use an extra day to rest and relax!! Saturday afternoon we went to see "Walking With Dinosaurs" at The Toyota Center. It was really cool, and Jacob was so excited. He had such a busy weekend I don't think he stopped talking all weekend.

Jacob before the show...

Posing with sister......

The view from our seats...check out the big teeth!!

After the show we decided to drive to Kemah and got to the boardwalk... We will never again do this on a Saturday evening!!! The traffic was horrible, and there was no place to park, even in the parking garage, finally we ended up valet parking at The Aquarium. I would have gladly paid $20 just to get out of the car...that's how bad the traffic was, and how much time we spent in the car!!!
We went ahead and decided to eat at The Aquarium since it was getting late...it actually turned out to be the best choice. We didn't have to wait long, and they sat us right by one of the tanks and it totally kept Isabelle mezmerized!!

Making 'funny faces' with daddy...

The end to our LONG day!!

Well there was alot more to our busy weekend, but it is late and I am pooped, so check back tomorrow!!!

It's almost dinosaur time!!!

2008-04-04T18:53:00.002-05:00

Tomorrow is the "Walking With Dinosaurs..The Live Experience" I found ths video on YouTube...It is not OUR dinosaur experience but I am sure it is the same! Jacob is REALLY excited!!!

Happy Birthday Koen!!

2008-04-03T21:41:00.004-05:00

Happy Birthday ....

....to me!!!!

I spent my birthday this year at the Mercer Arboretum plant sale or 'The March Mart'...It has become an anual tradition for me and my mom. I don't usually take Jacob, and last year I was pregnant, but this year both kiddos came along! It was fun but there were alot of people there. There usually is a huge line waiting to get in by 7:30 am, but this year we came a little later than usual for us. I got a few snapshots of the kids enjoying the pretty weather!

For Mark & Wendi...

2008-03-24T23:38:00.000-05:00

Thank you Mark & Wendi for being my godparents!!!
