For Sale


Our beloved 3 bedroom, 2 bath house on Westway is now for sale! We have outgrown our first family home that once seemed "so big" to us!!! It has been a wonderful home, and a great community of friends and neighbors. It will definitely be a little sad to say good-bye, BUT... we are purchasing a bigger house in Salado -- one that our family can grow into for many many years to come! We are excited about this transition in the near future -- and will have more to come on the new house in the next few months. For now, we are praying that we get a buyer for this house sometime really soon!

Brothers Share...

...their clothes! One really nice thing about having 3 boys is that they can pass down clothes and each get to wear some of the same outfits! This is 1 shirt that all 3 boys have worn ~9 months of age.

Thought it was super cute!

Um, and there's no denying that these 3 are brothers, right?!?! While they each have their own personal look and their own personality, you can definitely tell that they are related!

Easter Weekend 2011

We are so thankful to celebrate Easter -- the day of remembrance that our Savior arose!!!! It's what gives us hope and a future!

We had a very fun Easter weekend! We went to the Scott and White Easter Egg hunt on Saturday -- they had all sorts of fun things for the boys to see and do -- looking around the CareFlight helicopter, a fire truck, an ambulance, bounce houses, cotton candy, a train ride, and an egg hunt! They had a great time!








Then on Sunday morning, Nana and Pops got to drive down to spend the day visiting. We had a little egg hunt in the back field behind our house, and then went to church!



(I'm pretty sure that Daniel is excited about the fruit snacks he found in his egg!)








My sweet boys!

Boston 2011


We took a fun and fabulous family trip to Boston -- April 13th-20th. Robert had a conference planned there, so me and the boys decided to tag along, and then stay a little extra to sight-see, explore, and play. It was very educational and we were able to see and do many things! The people were very nice -- most looked at us like we were nuts having 3 small kiddos in the big city! -- the food was wonderful, and the historical/tourist things to do were a blast. Here's some of the pictures of the things we did. (Warning - there are MANY pictures, but just a few of the ~400 that I took!)

Wednesday, April 13th: Upon arrival -- Boston was cold and wet!
Our Hotel -- Hyatt Harborside -- very nice, very friendly people, and very close to the airport (and with free shuttle service to the subways!)
Thursday, April 14th: The Franklin Park Zoo with our friends the Sadowski's (they were so sweet to drive the 2+ hours from Connecticut to hang out with us for 2 days!) The boys all had a blast playing together!



What 2 crazy Mommas, 2 strollers, and 6 boys ages 4 and under look like traveling around the streets of Boston! We should have charged people for staring at us!
Boy Fun!


A bed full of boys!
