Moving and Updated Family Birthday List!

We will be moving from our 1000 sq ft apartment w/detached garage (that is half a block away from our apartment, lol) to a 1600 sq ft (rental) house with a two car garage and attached storage shed! The kids are excited because they will be able to play and ride their bikes in our back yard this summer. Plus we'll be across the street from an elementary school, where Ryan will attend 1st grade next year, with a large playground and grass field!

We were blessed to have found a great apartment complex when we moved here to Midland but the growing noise of neighbors and cramped feeling was getting old. We happened to be out driving around Midland a couple weeks ago came across a sign at this house, called and spoke with the property manager, who happened to be there at that time so we stopped in for a tour. We fell in LOVE! It is beautiful home that has been very well kept up and is perfect for us in every way!

We also wanted to update our list of family birthdays for everyone...

Baby Due October 2011!!!!

As you can see the extra space this home has will be perfect for the new arrival we will welcome later this year! =)

We will pass on our new address as soon as we move in on March 1st. We’ll also keep everyone informed of any/all baby news throughout the pregnancy. (P.S. We are probably going to be keeping this baby’s gender a surprise!!)

New Hair Cut

It has been several years since I have done anything but trim my hair. Since this spring I've been wanting to change my hairstyle...finally mid-December I took the leap and had my hair cut off. Here is the before...

And the After...

I absolutely love it! I don't know why I didn't do it earlier!

Snow Day!

Well we were sad to not see any snow on Christmas but were presently surprised when we woke up to several inches on the 29th. It snowed all day long and by days end we were snowed in at my parents house. This postponed us leaving a day but we weren't complaining because that just meant more time playing in the snow and spending time with family! Check out the fun snow day we had!!

My Christmas Cuties through the Years!

Since 2007 we have taken a picture of our kids in front of the tree in their pajamas. This year was no exception!! I wanted to share the picture from this year as well as previous years and take a walk down memory lane. It is amazing how much my children have grown in such a short period!

Christmas 2010

We just celebrated a wonderful Christmas with family and friends back in New Mexico. My mom flew from Albuquerque, NM to Midland, TX on Saturday night the 18th, she, the kids, and I then drove through the night to Farmington. We were able to see friends and extended family during our two week stay there! Jason flew into ABQ on the 27th to spend a few days before we all drove back to Midland on the 31st. Here is a slide show of our festivities while in New Mexico!
