Easter 2011

We were up before the sun! Nick filled up his basket quickly and then helped Owen find eggs. So sweet.

April TrikeAthon & Picnic

Nick's Preschool had a TrikeAthon to raise money for St. Jude's and safety awareness. The kids pedaled around the parking lot for 30 minutes!

After the TrikeAthon, Nick's class had a picnic in the prayer garden and then some baseball. Tom was the pitcher.

And you better believe that Owen got in on the action. Here he is playing in the outfield with Ms. Tonia.

Nick's turn to hit!

Last soccer game for the season

Getting ready for kick off.

Here's Nick with his trophy. He was MVP! : )

Saturday, April 9, 2011

Let me just start by saying how EXCITED we are to be moving back to Fort Worth! We feel blessed that a position opened up for Tom there and that he was the best candidate. We found a house that had only been on the market 2 days when we wrote an offer on it. Its perfect for us and we can't wait to move in June.

Here's what our new home looks like. The ivy is going to be removed and we need to stain the garage door. We'll definitely take some before and after pics.

This is the study/guest room.

This will be our formal dining room.

Family room

Here are the boys making themselves at home while the inspector was checking everything out. Hope the current owner doesn't mind. : )

Owen is going through a phase where he feels the need to take his shirt off. Its been going on for a couple of weeks now. I love it when we are half way down the school hallway and he feels the need to be shirtless!

Here's a pic of the oversized garage. It's not a 3 car but has a 4' extension which is fabulous! Tom was sold after he saw it.

Kitchen

The backyard is a little smaller than what we are used to but the elementary school that Nick will be going to is right behind us. The soccer field backs up to the fence.

Master Bedroom

Master bath

upstairs bathroom

Gameroom: can't live without it! : )

Ah, this will be my scrapbooking space. I am so excited!!!

We didn't start off with a media room on our list of must haves but the idea of having one grew on us. Looking forward to many movie nights in here!

View from the gameroom, looking into the family room and out at the school.

April 2011

We were in Fort Worth for a week to find a new home. We found a great house on our 2nd day there and took the boys out for some fun before we had to leave town. We went to the Childrens Museum of Science & History, Zoo and saw Hop at the movies.

Owen climbing in to get some groceries out. He is so INDEPENDENT! We just watched and laughed.

Nick pretended to work at the grocery store.

All of a sudden Owen says "Look Mom, Big Balls!" We are big fans of Wipeout and if you've seen the show you are familiar with the Big Ball obstacle. I cracked up! I couldn't resist letting him try to get across them even when a lady told him that we shouldn't put our feet on them because people sit on them. Yeah, I was that Mom for a few minutes and let him walk across them again after she walked away and I took pictures.

Nick, our little architect

We stopped by and watched the gorillas several times while we were at the zoo.

Here's O feeding the birds.

The zoo had a different dinosaurs native to TX on display. They moved and made sounds. Owen was a little confused when I told him they weren't real but the other animals were. Nick didn't get to see this one because he got sweaty and wanted to leave. Owen and I weren't finished yet so Tom & Nick waited for us in the car.
