New Light

Katie gave us a chandelier last year after they moved into their house. We were going to put it up in the entryway over the stairs. Well, it has sat in my closet for a year. Last Friday, two of Troy's electricians knocked on my door to come install it. To bad I didn't have a at least a 10 minute warning so that I have been ready for them. But, it looks great! I am so excited how it looks. Troy is very happy with it also. He do not like the last one. Now, if I can decide on a paint color for the entry, I think that it will look so much better.

Lego Man

OK....so I haven't done any blog entries for a week. We have had a more relaxing week than last week, but we still have been busy. So here is what we have been doing.

Miles is LOVING his Lego's. He has definitely got Troy knack for building things. He has built some really cool things. Here is a picture of his house he built. But he has also, made a Santa in a sled with a reindeer. It was actually really good. I looked at and knew exactly what it was. He is already much better at Lego's that me. He has got a great imagination.

Garage Accessory

The white truck is now sitting on a used car lot somewhere. I am very excited to announce that I am now officially the king of off roading, even with living in Texas where there is no where to go off road without going to jail. Also, as a note, I have never driven a car off road, except to get on a construction site.

Stroller Skating

Troy and I have decided that I need to become more involved with our neighborhood, and try to make some friendships here. So we decide to not have Miles go back to pre-school and I joined a playgroup up here. I think that it is going to be fun. They have things schedule three to four days a week, so I think that we can be as busy as want to be. Today was a stroller skate day. I thought it sounded fun. I also thought that my friend Lesli who lives in the neighborhood and rollerblades with her stroller all the time would enjoy it. We have a blast. It lasted for about an hour, and I was worn out after an hour. But the boys had a GREAT time!!!! They have been looking forward to this for a couple of days, so when I went into their room this morning to wake them up, they jumped out of bed and where ready to go. It was VERY challenging to try to skate with two boys on roller skates and push a stroller. Thank goodness Lesli came, she was able to help me by taking one of the boys. Drew loved it. He sat there laughing and squealing at the passers by, and would yell "go mama, go mama" very time we stopped. There was 6 or 7 ladies from the neighborhood that went besides me and Lesli, so I thought that was nice. It was a fun morning, we will definitely do this again.

Finally!!

I think that it has only taken me a week, but finally I have a background, and a logo that match, and worked out size wise on my page. If you have been checking in on us lately you know what I am talking about. How do you like our new logo? Troy made it for me, I think that it is really cute. What do you think of our new look?

Up for a Game of Lego's

Troy's brother gave us a Lego game a few years ago. It is the boys favorite game. Miles can play it by himself, and Tyson could play it by himself if we could keep his attention for a whole game. So the boys were so happy to have a game night. It was a fun night playing with the boys. I have had a busy day, and I am now ready for bed.

The Sun is Shining

After a couple of weeks of cool weather and being basically stuck inside, we have had a couple of warm, sun shiny days. The boys have loved it! We spent Saturday playing tennis and playing at the park. Troy started to teach the boys how to play tennis, and they were doing such a good job at hitting the ball. I was very impressed. Drew was perfectly content to ride his bike around in circles around the court. Which did make it fun to play "dodge Drew tennis."

Today is our last day of warm weather. So we got up and got going early. Our first attempt to go to the park this morning was rained out. So we did a second attempt this afternoon. The boys had a great time. Hopefully it will be enough to last until we get our next little burst of warm weather.
