Ryan's last few days of Kindergarten!

Ryan had his ups and downs this year in Kindergarten but mostly ups! He ended the year on a great note with his teacher! The last few weeks were packed with fun stuff including a program called "Bugz" where he had a speaking part and sang several songs with his classmates. His class also participated in a field day where each kid was able to compete in 5 activities. They won individual awards as well as an overall class award. Ryan got 2nd place in the individual relay race and his class won 2nd place overall and for tug of war (where Ryan was one of the anchors!). He had a blast!! Here is a glimpse of some of these fun activities...

Ready or not…

We are moving across town next Saturday and Sunday. We have packed the boys room and all of the pictures and nick-nacks around the house but still have several rooms to go. Whether we are ready or not Saturday we have reserved a Uhual and will begin moving.

Here is our new address: 2708 Sunburst Drive, Midland, TX 79707. I will have our mail forwarded but please begin using this address as of February 28th!

I’ll post pictures of the move after we get settled in. =)

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!
