FOR SALE

Well, our house is on the market!!! We are planning on moving to Forney, Texas. It's crazy to think we are packing up and saying goodbye to everyone this summer, but at the same time it's a little exciting knowing we have this adventure ahead of us. Robby will be coaching football with his head coach at North Forney High School next year. I am looking forward to moving closer to my parents. Forney is only an hour away from them. I'm glad that my mom and dad will get to spend more quality time with my kids...which means more dates with my husband :) We will miss Alvin but will be back to visit since we have family down here...so it's not goodbye forever!

We were told to declutter our house for the online photos, so we started boxing up personal stuff (like frames, etc). We packed about 6 boxes. Packing up a house is going to be a BIG job! Good thing I will be going on maternity leave soon so I'll have some more time to pack.

Baby Maverick is here!

Last week my sister in law had her baby, he was one week early. 8lbs-11oz, lots of hair and 22" long. He is so precious. Robby, Anthony and I drove up last weekend to visit for a couple days. Here are some cute pictures of Maverick and Anthony and their grandma...Cici!

Christmas in Dallas

This was our year to celebrate Christmas in Dallas with my family. We headed to the big D on the 21st and stayed for a week. Then from Dallas we went to Austin to celebrate Christmas again with the DeSanto's. Robby's sister, Michelle, can't travel because she is about to have a baby...so we all went to her house. We were gone about 11 days...WAY TOO LONG!!! We were so glad to be back home. We got all the Christmas deocr put away and finsihed Anthony's new BIG boy room. I think he is liking it. Now it's time to get Avery's room in order. Bedding has been ordered and should be here this week.

Here are Dallas Christmas pics:

Birthday Party...take two!

On Sunday, the 12th of December we celebrated Anthony's 2nd birthday with the family. He, again, was sung Happy Birthday and loved it. And had many great gifts!

My Little Boy is 2...

BIRTHDAY PARTY #1

This year we decided to have 2 parties, one for friends and one for family. It was at our house (which is much smaller than my in-laws house...where we had it last yr) and I couldn't fit everyone in my house. Saturday my little boy turned 2...I can't believe it. He is growing up soooo fast! Just seems like yesterday he was still in his crib and crawling around. It has been so much fun raising him. He keeps Robby and I on our toes and laughing all the time! Saturday the 11th was his actual birthday. We invited a couple of his friends at daycare and some of our friends as well. We had a pretty good turnout...but we missed you Richard's family! Anthony had a very good time and loved getting so much attention. He got lots of great presents and had a good time playing with everyone. Here are some pictures of party #1

All Aboard the Christmas train!

Friday night we took Anthony out to ride the local Christmas train. It was the first year we've gone and won't be the last!!! It was absolutely wonderful. It's an old-fashioned train ride through their winter wonderland. It has over 175,000 lights...a very inexpensive family night!!! Only 4 dollars a ticket and Anthony was free. My mom also went with us. Anthony just LOVED riding the train and didn't want to get off. Inside they had shopping, coffee, Santa, live music, a HUGE train display, and yummy pizza. A wonderful family experience!



Anthony loved the train ride!

Week 28 Check-up

Yesterday I went for my 28th week check-up. Everything looked good again...thanks be to God! My weigh in was a little more than I wanted but ... whatever! I just need to get over the fact that I'm going to be bigger this pregnancy than the last...yikes! Already thinking about HOW to get it off. Hopefully this time around the breast feeding will go smoother and the lbs. will shed fast :)

Baby Avery measured 31 weeks and I'm only 28 1/2...not sure what that means (guess she's going to be a big baby girl) I've still got 10 weeks left and I'm already feeling like my belly can't stretch anymore. I now go every 2 weeks to see the doctor. Should find out next visit or the next when my date will be for the c-section. Right now it's going to be around the 18th of February.

As for "little" Anthony...well, he's not so little anymore! He is turning TWO on Saturday! I can't believe he will be 2 already! That went by fast. He is getting cuter each and every day. Just this morning I was on my hands and knees cleaning up tracked-in poop from the dogs (I know that's gross...but it's my life...dealing with two big dogs) and Anthony was getting very mad at me for cleaning it up. He wanted to do it with the vacuum cleaner. He kept saying, "I vacuum...I vacuum" I couldn't help myself...and just started laughing. He is so funny and makes Robby and I smile over and over!

We have a very busy weekend. Friday is SNOW day at daycare and we are taking him on a train ride to see Christmas lights that night, Saturday and Sunday he will be having a birthday party...so lots of pictures to come!
