Museum Visit

We were out of school last Friday, so we decided to visit the Museum of Natural Science in Fair Park. Brock has been wanting to see the dinosaurs, so off we went. Addison wasn't too thrilled about it, but her fun came later in the weekend.

Milking the Borden cow. Brock looks a little too good at this. He want to own a farm when he grows up....
Addison likes milking cows (her words)
Digging for dinosaur bones
Addison would rather not get dirty.

Look what they found....not :)

I have more museum picutures, but my batteries just died. I will post more museum pictures later.

Field Day

Addison had field day at school on Friday. Unfortunately mommies that are teachers don't get to watch their own children participate in these kinds of things. Thankfully, Addison has some friends that have wonderful moms who understand and they take pictures for me!

Thank you Bonnie!

Addison, Graycie, Zoie & Rebecca

Ice Water Relay

The cup had holes in it. This would have been great fun except for the fact that it was pretty chilly on Friday. She also has a proud Daddy looking on in the background.

I'm not sure what game this is, but I think it has something to do with hanging laundry on the line. Is that really a game?

Here is the gang:

Addison had fun. I'm not sure who was the most tired at the end of the day, but I am betting it was probably me!

Getting Settled

It has been almost two months since we moved into the house and it is just now starting to feel like home. The kids are extremely happy. They love to be outside! Michael and I love it because it is so peaceful. About 10 cars drive down our road a day, as opposed to 10 cars every 2 minutes at our old house. I have tried to post as many pictures as I could. It took me forever. I assure you this will be the longest post that I ever do.....

These are the babies that live on our front porch. We have two in the front and four in the back. Please do not be offended if you walk up to the house and see a pile of bird poo on our porch. The nest will be removed when the babies are gone :)

I couldn't have a post without our real babies. This is before Brock's program last week.
Addison is growing up a bit too fast!

Here is the house....

My mother's day gift...a bird feeder.

It was exactly what I wanted.

I also got a hummingbird feeder. We had a hummingbird come about 30 minutes after Michael put it up. I hope we get more.

Front of the house

Michael has already been to work on the flower beds.

Inside the arch is where the babies live.

We love these windows

I'm not sure what to do about curtains or blinds.

Any ideas are welcomed...

Back of the house
Michael built this from a kit. It took about a week of doing it at night.


Office

We can't find a desk. We may have one made.

This is the hallway out of the kitchen the other way.

It leads to the 1/2 bath (open door) and the garage (closed door).

It also leads back around to the living room/entry way.

Michael and I have been extremely blessed! We thank the Lord every day for all he has given us. Come see us soon!
