Bolivar Trip

This summer was our first Bolivar trip since IKE. There was a lot of work to do to get the place ready again and since my father-n-law and Uncle did it all them selves...it took a few years to get it back up and running. We had a great time down there. It was Anthony's first trip down there where we actually stayed the night. We went to the beach several days and hung out with our friends that also have a beach house down there, the Scotts.

Avery turns 5 months old

This week Avery turned 5 months old! She is becoming such a big-little girl :) She rolls over from back to tummy. Loves tummy time. Loves her cereal and bottles. Just started her on peas this week and she DOES NOT like them. She gagged and threw up...so we keep trying but still not sure about them. I will try green beans next. Anthony always loved his food, maybe Avery will be our picky eater...oh great!!! She giggles and laughs. Her absolutely FAVORITE thing is her brother's voice! When she hears him talk her whole body starts shaking and she gets the biggest grin. That will always be like that...right??? They will be best friends, right???

Don't answer that!

Here is Avery at 5 months:

It's just not the same without the pink teddy!
Priceless!!!

Well, as most of you know we sold our house in Alvin and moved north. We are currently living with my folks until our house is complete. We are building in Forney. Looks like we might close the end of August (not early enough). I have been in search of a job ALL summer, checking job openings for about 6 different districts around Forney, like a crazy girl! Had a job interview in Forney but didn't get it...hmmm, oh well. So yesterday I went on another interview for Mesquite ISD and already got the job...YAY. All I have to say is "thanks Mesquite ISD for welcoming me to the area!" Maybe Forney will have something next year. I really wanted to work in the same district as Rob so we could be near each other, but also have the same holidays. I just need to thank God for this job in Mesquite...it's super tough right now to get a job in the teaching field.

Happy Easter 2011

Hey Guys...I'm finally posting Easter. It's been a crazy summer. I'll explain later.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Anthony and Avery did! This year went a little differently when we went to take pictures with the bunny...Anthony wasn't so sure he wanted to get close to that big ole bunny! And Avery was so tiny you can barely see her.

Easter Sunday we went to Cici and G-Bob's house and then to Great-Grandma's to hunt eggs and eat dinner. It was a lot of fun. Avery was a BIG hit...everyone wanted to hold her. Anthony did really good this year hunting eggs. He ran from egg to egg. Last year he played with the water hose instead of hunting eggs. Here are some pictures...

Avery's growing...

Ok, here are Avery's 3rd and 4th month pictures. You know how I did Anthony's monthly pictures with his blue teddy...well, Avery has a pink teddy that I was going to use. But of course I wasn't thinking and packed it away and it's in storage. So all summer we are having to take our pictures without her pink teddy.

FINALLY........

A POST!!!!!!!

Ok, those of you who actually keep up with my blog...I'm sorry it's been so long. This morning I sit homeless in Texas City at my in-laws house. We are living out of about 10 suitcases. It's horrible, I can't find the suitcase I need when I'm trying to find something. I must get organized since we will be living this way all summer. Friday morning we will leave to go to Corinth where my mom and dad live and we'll stay with them the rest of the summer until our house in Forney is finished. Yesterday Robby and his dad drove the Uhauls up to Forney and put my house into storage. For those of you who don't know, Robby is taking a coaching job in Forney so that is the reason for this move.

OK...I have SO SO SO much to blog. So, I am going to start back in February when Avery was born. I posted her newborn pictures, so I will go from there. I will try to catch up with the post all week long. So keep checking back :)

Here are just a few pictures of Avery when she was 2 months old. Next post will be Easter.
