First Trip to the Zoo!

Yesterday was our first trip to the zoo with the girls!  We took them to the Houston Zoo with Nana and Grandpa.  Avery had a blast!  We will definitely be going back! 

Avery loved the Dora 4D show!

Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter weekend last week.  It was filled with great friends on Friday night, a visit to my Grandma's house on Saturday with lots of cousins, good food, an Easter egg hunt, and some kite flying.. and then Easter Sunday that included Ted taking Avery to sunrise service, followed by a visit from Ted's parents, a great church service, lunch, checking out progress on the new house, and more Easter treats! 

 All the kids opening their Easter baskets!

 Peyton and Natalie are so cute!

 Natalie found the golden egg! 

 Avery loved egg hunting this year!

 Avery is getting excited about our new house!



Sweet Natalie!  She has really had it rough the past few months with a persistent ear infection, teething, a horrible diaper rash from antibiotics....  I really hope she is over all of this!

Our New House!

After many years of looking, dreaming, planning... we are finally in the building phase of our new house!  We purchased our lot about 15 months ago, designed and drew up our plans last summer, and then finally closed on our construction loan and broke ground about 4-5 months ago.  It has been quite a process getting this house out of the ground.  There have been a few delays here and there, but now we are finally out of the ground, and our house is really taking shape this week!  We are so excited to be a part of this whole process!  Here are some pictures of our progress over the last several months....
