Father's Day 2010!

We celebrated Father's Day with BBQ! We figured what better way to tell Jason we love and appreciate him than BBQ for dinner!




The boys and I also made him "mud pudding" for dessert, complete with worms and dirt! =)

Visit from family!

Over Memorial Day weekend we had surprise visitors show up! My parents, sister, nephew, and littlest brother came to TX to see us! We had lots of fun...went to a baseball game, ice skating, swimming, park, and shopping.

Liana, Zackary, and Aaron stayed an extra two weeks so we had lots of time to check out the children's museum, park, lots of swimming, and much more.

Here is a scrapbook of some of our fun adventures!

Mother's Day Love!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day that started Saturday night with dinner at Olive Garden. Then the kids let me sleep in a bit before going to McDonald's for a quick breakfast then running errands...one of which was buying me a new purse that I have wanted for a while now! We came home to clean and do laundry which I was totally fine with because I was spending it with my beautiful family!! Jason also bbq'd us some steaks for dinner, yummy!

I am so blessed to have three wonderful children! I am also blessed to have a wonderful mom that paved the way for me to become the mother and person I am today!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there!!

Moving from NM to TX

Well I can finally officially say that we are Texan's, lol. We made the move from our house in Farmington to an apartment in Midland, TX. It was a fast and furious move...we found an apartment on Thursday, found out our house was going to get a lease on it finally on Friday so we headed to Farmington on Saturday morning. We spent all day Sunday and Monday packing, loading, and cleaning. Woke up early on Tuesday to finish loading the last few things and hit the road to TX. We arrived at our new house on Tuesday night late so we got up early Wednesday and spent all day unloading the truck. Thursday we had to return the truck so we finished unloading the last few items and took it back. When we returned to the apartment we started unpacking. By Friday we had everything unpacked and in it's place!!

It feels great to have our family all together again. We like our new apartment and so far we enjoy Midland very much! The boys are already signed up for spring flag football and we enrolled Ryan for Kindergarten next year!

We are so grateful for all the help we received in Farmington with packing, loading, cleaning, and taking care of the kids!! We couldn't have done it with out all of our wonderful friends and family!

We do miss everyone in Farmington terribly but we are keeping in mind that we will be back to visit at the end of July!!

Enjoy this slide show of our move including pictures of our house in Farmington, our traveling, and new apartment in Midland!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!

Dylan was very lucky boy that got to celebrate his 3rd birthday several times! Once on Easter with Grandma Dixie and all his cousins, once at Chuck E Cheese's in Las Cruces with Yaya, Papa, Aaron and the Zoll's, once in Midland, TX at Chuck E Cheese's with just our family, and then again with Yaya and Papa in Farmington just before we moved. =)

He got some great presents that included books, clothes, big boy underwear, skate board, helmet, arm and knee pads, sword, and a scooter/skate board!!

I must admit that Dylan turning 3 came up much quicker than I had anticipated. I can't believe how fast the last 3 years have gone. He is 3 going on 13...no kidding. He has the attitude of a teenager. Dylan has always been ahead with his milestones like talking, walking, etc which I think is because he wants to keep up with big brother Ryan. He is so stubborn and hard headed but then again he is so darn sweet. It is tough to stay mad at him because he is constantly telling us "I love you!" and coming over randomly to give us hugs and kisses.

He loves his brother and sister so very much. He is always giving Rebecca hugs and wanting to help us with her.

Dylan hit a big milestone just before he turned three...he got potty trained!! All on his own he came to me a couple days before we left for Southern NM and said he wanted to wear big boy underwear. Now of course he has had a few accidents but really nothing to complain about just him trying to figure things out. He even wore underwear on our long drives to Las Cruces and Odessa. I am so very proud of him!!

Here is a look at Dylan from birth to now! Happy 3rd Birthday Dylan!! We love you!!
