Goodbye March !

It's been a busy month-We had a great Easter ( minus my hubby who was working the weekend shift all of March :( We went to Mimi and Pop Pops in Bastrop for Easter egg hunting and church with my mom. Everyone at her church loved getting to see the kiddos and how much they have grown,as my mom talks about them quite frequently. When Kels was a lot younger, before Kurt and I were married, we used to visit out there quite a bit but a lot of them hadn't seen Kelsey since she was really little and had never seen Houston. They had all prayed for Houston when I was pregnant with him so they couldn't believe this was the baby they had all prayed for and how big and handsome he was. It was great for me to get to see them and thank them for all of their prayers as well. But I digress.....I also got to see one of oldest and dearest friends Lisa and her new house (which is gorgeous) I am SO GLAD to have her and her family back in Texas !!! Hopefully they never leave the Lone Star State again! We also welcomed 2 new babies into the world on March 17th- Kurt's cousin Scott and his wife Laura had their daughter Makinley Kate and a couple of hours later our dear friends Chris & Dana had their little girl Parker Leigh...both girls are absolutely gorgeous and remind us of how fast they change and grow up. We are so grateful that God got them here safely. Kurt's other cousin Kimberly is due in a couple of weeks and we are praying all goes well with her delivery and can't wait to meet their son Carter.

Here are some pics from Easter, one of Houston looking cute in his Paw Paw's cowboy hat, and the last is one of my new haircut- It's not a great pic of me so just look at the hair :) I have had long hair for a while now so this was a big change for me but I love it.



This one is funny to me because Houston just had a major fit 2 seconds before and I was trying to hurry and get a picture of the three of us before he did it again

Happy Belated New Year and Birthday's!!!!

2008 started off great with us moving into our new home in Georgetown-thanks to all of the wonderful family and friends we had helping us, we were moved in and unpacked fairly quickly (however, the walls are still bare so anyone that is good with a stud finder and leveler is welcome to come help hang things :) A few days after moving Kels celebrated her 14th b-day on Jan 2nd and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. A few weeks after that Kurt had a birthday as well and we went out just the two of us for an awesome Mexican food dinner ( notice the food theme here- pay attention b/c it continues)Our plan was to go to dinner and a movie but the 7:00 that we wanted to see was sold out and we knew that after eating we would never make it awake through a 10:00 movie on a full stomach..YES we are old !!!! Houston's birthday followed a few weeks later and he turned 2 on February 13th. We went to Gattiland the night of his birthday for pizza and games and then to Sesame Street Live the following weekend. He LOVES Sesame Street and can name all his "buddies" Gro, Kie ( Cookie) , Elmo, Zoes, Bert, Ernie, Osc and Teets (Rosita) so it was a blast to watch him get excited every time they came on stage. Hope everyone is doing good- maybe I will post again before everyone in my family has another birthday :)Enjoy the pics - they aren't in the exact format I was going for but hey what more do you want - I did update !!
