    Memorial Day and the Weather

    I think we found a new tradition for Memorial Day. We were thinking last night that we were lame and didn’t have any plans for today and we decided on a whim to make a few dutch oven cobblers and invite some friends to come eat with us.  We invited people to come at 2:00 […]

  • Back in Texas

    Back in Texas

    Well we made it safely back to Texas after our fun trip to Utah and Romania. (Don’t worry, we’ll get some posts up eventually about the vacation!) We had a safe drive back and were much happier with our choice of hotel on the way home than we were on the way up to Utah! […]

  • A pretty normal week

    A pretty normal week

    Eliza is getting to be more and more like a two-year-old. She’s starting to push the limits on things more and more which is challenging. The best example of this is with her sleeping. Sometime last week she decided that she didn’t want to sleep in her bed anymore. She wanted to sleep on the […]

  • Birthdays and Easter Week

    Birthdays and Easter Week

    Happy Easter! We are so grateful for this week that we are able to focus our time on remembering the life and sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. We had a pretty simple celebration this week.

    Spring Break Camping

    Yes I know that we don’t have any kids in school so spring break isn’t actually any different from any other week that we have; however, we decided to “celebrate” it this year. There are some families in our ward who go camping every year on the week of spring break and we were invited […]

  • Spring arrives in Central Texas

    Spring arrives in Central Texas

    Spring, with all it’s crazy swings in weather, has arrived in central Texas. Our daffodils are blooming and it’s getting to the point where we have started running our ceiling fans again during the day. Eliza has been her usual chipper self this week. She is a girly girl and likes to twirl around and […]

  • James’s 4 month birthday

    James’s 4 month birthday

    This week was James’s 4 month birthday. He has grown so much in the last months and they have just flown by. He is talking up a storm. When he wakes up in the morning, he’ll just sit in bed and talk and talk to himself. It is so cute! He’s also starting to get […]

    We made Eliza a new sunggle

    Last week at church Eliza lost her little blanket piece, her sunggle, and we couldn’t find it all week. Sarah finally decided to make her a new one last night and we gave it to her this morning. She loves it!

  • Two Kids Teething

    Two Kids Teething

    We survived Sunday. Go us! This week has been a bit rough with both Eliza and James both teething and  both of them with the sniffles. Eliza has been waking up in the middle of the night several days this week and will just cry inconsolably and have a bad cough. She doesn’t run a […]
