What We've Been Up To.

It's been a while since I posted anything, so I decided that I would get on and give you all an update, and a whole bunch of pictures.

Mason and Reece are out of school for the summer, so you can imagine what it has been like around our house. I am only working part-time now, so I can spend much more time with my little "kiddie-catastrophes". Mason, as some of you may know turned four in April, and he now thinks that He rules the Roost. Reece is just as motherly as ever, to both Mason and Cole, and she tends to boss EVERYONE around. I love that little girl soooo much. And then of course, there's Cole. He is happy(most of the time) and healthy. He is three months old, and is catching up really fast. He just moved out of newborn clothes and into 0-3 months, so we are really excited about that. I have a feeling that he will be moving up to 3-6 months very soon. My guess is that he weighs close to 12lbs, which is enormous compared to his 5lbs at birth.

We haven't done just a ton of traveling yet. Cole and I went on a shopping trip to Dallas, and Mom and Dad took all of us (6 adults, 6 kids) to San Antonio last month. We went to Sea World, which was awesome, because it was during the whole Swine Flu scare, and there was nobody there. We rode all the rides and didn't even have to get off because there was no one else in line to ride. We stayed at a really cool Hotel/Spa, called the Hyatt Regency Hilltop Resort and Spa, and the kids had a blast. They had amazing pools and a lazy river. As far as for the plans for the rest of the summer, we leave for our yearly lake trip in 2 weeks, and we are going on a family vacation to Florida for a week in September with the Roberson clan. Craig and I are also going to go on a belated anniversary trip. Due to Cole being born early, we were unable to take a trip. I am hoping for Hawaii, but Craig may have other plans.

Our house is almost finished. We are hoping to move in at the end of this month. Our cabinets will be installed next week, and after that, we just need paint and flooring.

Anyways, that is all that I can think of for now. I'm sure I have missed something, but oh well, I will post again in a month or two. (haha) Here are a few pictures of the last few weeks. Cole and His big eyes.

Craig just getting home from work.

Craig picking Cole up, only to find that he had poop running out of his diaper. You can imagine his excitement.

Here they are after changing the diaper and cleaning his entire body.

Mason swimming at Lolli and Pops

Cole lounging by the pool, catching a little shade.

Reece and her sweet goggles.

Mason. Check out Kampell and Reece in the background.

Reecy in her glasses.

The flowerbeds in the front yard of our new house. We decided that we would go ahead and get the yard done, so that we wouldn't have to move into a house with just dirt for a yard.

This our front porch. There will be cedar post above the stone on the columns, and there will be cedar shutters on either side of the windows as well.

More plants.

The front of the house.

Another shot of the front. It will look so much better with the cedar shutters. There will be shutters on the two gables as well.

The back of the house.

The basement stairs. It was too dark in the actual basement to take any pictures.

Fireplace. This will be stoned using the same stone as the front of the house.

This is a view of the bar and kitchen from the living room.

This is the view from the entryway. It has cathedral ceilings all the way through the living room and breakfast nook, into the kitchen.

Those are all of the pictures I have for now. Next time I will post pics of the bedroom, basement and office. I will also show you all a picture of my sweet closet. I have an entire shoe closet inside of my closet. So cool!
