1st family trip to the beach

We took our first trip to the beach this weekend. We have been talking about driving down since we moved here 3 1/2 yrs ago but we always bring it up on Sunday afternoons after the weekends over. This time we did it! We drove down Sat. afternoon, spent the night at a great hotel in Corpus overlooking the bay. Got up Sunday morning, headed to the local Cracker Barrel for breakfast and spent the rest of the day at the beach. We had such a great time, the boys had never been to the beach. They loved playing in the sand with Dad, especially burying each other and then laying on the shore and letting the waves hit them. I can't believe this is only 3 hours away!

31 days to go!

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Life has been pretty busy! We had been in the process of building a home with Ryland over the last few months and were due to move in early August. We put our house on the market...I mean Jimmy did. Yes, he's a realtor now! Sells cars by day and houses by night. Our house unexpectedly sold in 6 days! We had to be out by July 15th. In the midst of this we were having second thoughts on our choice to build with Ryland, the house, the neighborhood, etc. I was out driving around one day with the boys just taking a look to see what else was out there and I came across a lovely neighborhood. About 5 miles outside of town, Lennar was building, Kallison Ranch. I loved it instantly, bigger house, lots more features and they are a great builder. Thanks Zac & Whit for the recommendation! Also to Skip & Kate who by chance were in town the weekend we were up in the air about what to do so they helped us decide! So this house wasn't due to be ready until the end of August. What do you do when your about to be homeless for 6 weeks? Put all your belongings in storage & move in with your in-laws, of course! They let us stay here 3 1/2 yrs ago when we first moved to SA for 6 weeks but Elijah was a baby, a little easier then. Now we have 2 kids that create a circus everywhere they are, so sweet! :) I think Grandma & Grandpa are enjoying it though! We're excited about our new house, we're closing on the 30th!

Relaxing

Isaac can be so rowdy one minute and then the next he can be so laid back. He's 16 months now and gets up in the rocking chair by himself and just kicks back and relaxes every once in awhile. I think Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was on, so can we blame him?

Bored?

We are in the process of moving so the boys have been a little bored. We are out of this house on Sunday, closing Monday. Our house sold in 5 days! Moving in with Jimmy's parents for about 6 weeks until our new house in Kallison Ranch is ready! I'll try to keep everyone up to date. Just a pic of the boys playing on the stroller, being silly. For some reason whenever the car seats & stroller are pulled in the house, it seems like so much more fun than being in them normally.

Bueno kids

I love Bueno & my kids love Bueno too! Don't worry I try to have a healthy balance, just once a week, is that so bad? Isaac, aka Mr. Independent has to hold his own party burrito and take bites all by himself. It's so funny to watch because he still has a baby face and eats like an adult.
