Pictures

I know that I've been bad about blogging. I'm going to try and get back into the groove now that summer has slowed down and school is about to start back up. But for now, I will just throw some pictures at you.

My Buzz Lightyears...

30th Birthday gift from my thoughtful friend, Rachel (I loved the packaging)...

measuring spoons from my favorite store, Anthropologie...

fun day at O2B Kids

hoppin' Siah...

artsy Olivia (with neighbors)...

so strong...

going the extra mile...

playing alone...

a turtle on our path...

looks like a mole/turtle...

Gee came and then had to leave...

Olivia and her "bag"...

sad to say goodbye...

oh my...

Summer is coming to an end.

I Have Been Absent

I really should have just titled this post "Olivia". I think she's about the only one in most of the pictures. But that's all I have for now, and I need to get back into the blogging mode!
So here is the update: We closed on a house the night before we went on vacation, we went on vacation, we came back and prepared to move, we moved, the Turner's came to visit (so fun to see good friends!!! and I don't have any pictures), I got sick, and now I'm back! Did you miss me? :) Well, here I am anyway.


Liv and Daddy at the church playground

Olivia and her friend Jane talking about their snacks

Isaac and Olivia wearing their cool capes that they got as party favors

Josiah spinning Isaac and Olivia in the rocking chair (the whole reason I wanted this kind of chair!!! :))


From here on out...OLIVIA!
CHEESE!

Pictures Of The House

Here are the pictures you have asked for. We moved in today and then Jay and I attended a dinner this evening, so the pictures were fast and furious. But hopefully it will give you an idea of where we now live. The pictures all make the walls and tile look kind of yellow, but they are all a khaki color. Please excuse all of the boxes and junk!

Looking through the door into our bedroom

same

standing by the head of the bed

into the master bath...our closets on either side of the entryway

looking onto the patio from our bedroom (this is the door behind Isaac in a photo above)

living area

kitchen...open to living area

more kitchen...yes, the walls are green but not as bright of a green as the pictures make it look

The previous owners took the pantry out when they opened the kitchen up to the living room. So they added these cabinets and another counter top with cabinets. Also, the cabinets almost look black in these photos, but they are really a deep brown.
dining area behind the living area (and looking into the master) Again, the floor and walls are not that yellow.

Standing in the living room and looking into the formal living and towards the front door

formal living (the walls aren't blue...just the light coming from the front door.)

guest room (we had to get all new carpet in the bedrooms thanks to a pet that once lived here...yuck!)

stepping out of the guest room and looking down the hallway towards the boys room (to the right of the box) and into Olivia's room

boys room...walls aren't green

the boys make their own beds. :)

bathroom

Olivia's room...her walls are green in preparation for her new fun bedding.

You can see outside of Olivia's room into the kitchen.

still Liv's room...she has two closets

the back patio from the other door through the kitchen...we had to rip carpet out of the patio and we plan on staining the concrete

Day 10

Our last day/evening in Texas...

Olivia eating with Grandma Wright again. I'm glad I have this photo of the two of them...coffee mug and sippy cup. :)


What can I say about these friends?? These are some of the most special people to us. We've already shared so much of life together in such a short amount of time. We love laughing, crying, praying, joking, talking, singing, hoping...with them. We never get enough time with this group. We love you guys!!!


Well, that's the trip in a big, fat nutshell. Thanks for acting interested!
