We didn't forget about you...

We didn't abandon you... I promise.. It's been - very busy... much coming & going...
We have moved into the new place & are almost completely unpacked...which is a miracle in itself...with everything else going on and of course, all the "help" from 3 toddlers!

This is Jacob helping to unload the truck
{can you see Ethan hiding? LOL} For those of you that don't know, Jacob LOVES Caillou.. and this is his little Caillou doll & that little rag is his bankie... they are virtually inseperable these days & we think that is adorable!

Ethan likes the new place!

Chloe is walking her baby up & down the halls

Valentines Day & a Surprise

We hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day! We had a good one. We played a little. Spent the day out with Brandon. Brian & I took the little Peeps out to eat earlier in the week for dinner. A REAL Valentines Day celebration is waiting on us to be done...

MOVING

Yes. It's true. We are MOVING. We found a wonderful little home. Right on the edge of a huge park. With a good sized yard and a beautiful deck already built in the back. We fell in love the second we saw the place and were so blessed to get it as quick as we did.

We are MOVING people!! Back out on our own and we can't wait. We will miss our friends. They have been little angels... they put up with alot and had fantastic paitence with us and all of my O.C.D. ways ( Obsessive Cullen Disorder.. if you are in the "know")...hehe

But mostly, we can't wait to grant Ethan & Jacob their nightly request....they will get their BEDS back in just a couple of nights.. ..it's going to be wonderful!

Thank God for friends.. Hope...Snowstorms in Texas... and Beautiful Days where just about anything seems possible.

Did you say snow?

Today
{in case you hadn't heard... hehe}
it
SNOWED!!!! As of 9 pm we had 9.4 inches of SNOW on the ground ... the LARGEST snowstorm in DFW history!! OMG!!!
Huge~Fluffy~ White~ Cotton ball sized Flakes..
ALL DAY

So, of course...we took everyone out to PLAY

before there is any confusion... YES, that's a Dallas Cowboys helmet... NO, I have not changed my mind.. I still detest them.. { woot woot to those Saints tho!! } Jacob found it... we needed a hat...

It should also be noted that the snowman was decapitated several times....

so clearly, Jacob is against the Cowboys as well :)

Chloe CAUTIOUSLY investigated a snowball.. she wasn't overly fond of the white stuff

Daddy & Ethan building Mr Snowman

will you just look at those HUGE snowflakes??!!!

Our Snowman is almost as tall as the boys!!! {giggle}

teaching the fine art of snowball making..

There were ALOT of snowballs flying!

Chloe wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with touching that stuff....she went in for a nap to rest her frayed nerves shortly after this was taken...

SNOW ANGELS

{ Renee, this is just for you.. and yes, I know... I owe you one... sigh, i will get it there :) }

Chloe glances at the dreaded white stuff cautiously... "Just don't make me touch it Daddy"

Ethan and his snowball

This was taken 1st thing this morning.. jacob wanted to go right out and like his mama, he will stay in his Pj's until the last possible minute.. so there.. Jacob.. in his pj's - in the snow!

Three Men and a Snowman... is that 4 men?? hehe

We laughed...We pelted one another with snowballs....we made a snow man... we laughed some more... we giggled and behaved like people who had never seen snow... and we haven't - not liek this... it was an amazing day!! So much fun to watch the boys ♥

look who's shopping?

Pet Store

These weren't taken today.. I just hadn't posted them.. but aren't they cute? We would love to get the boys a puppy { actually Brian would really love that too } and another kitty kat for Brandon.... but we have been enjoying taking the boys to a local pet store whenever we can to see all the pets...

They love it... all of them

jacob is really fascinated by the birds.. .o dear :)

Ethan asks for a dog quite often...

On the Mend

2 ear infections

Strep throat

RSV

...hasn't had a decent nap outside of his carseat in a couple weeks.... hasn't been asleep before 10 pm in weeks, usually closer to 11............... has become a very strange eater.. but he is eating....

and he still Plays....Runs....laughs....and delivers amazing hugs & kisses.....


Jacob is (slowly) gettting better.... medicine.. a great Peditrician....breathing treatments.. and a few adventures..

{we will tell you about those later :) }

Jacob is on the mend... the cough isn't quite as bad....he is sounding a little better.... a little better

Each & Every Day....

Shopping!

I don't know if you are aware, but my Peeps LOVE to go shopping. I don't care if it's the grocery store, WalMart, or the Mall.. they just flat love to go shopping.. I take them out...just for fun!
Here we are just a few days ago in our favorite store...TARGET!
Chloe LOOKS so wide awake here but actually it was freezign outside and the wind woke her right up!
Trucks. BIG Trucks. RED Trucks. BIG and RED Trucks... a little slice of Heaven for Jacob!

Ethan has been looking everywhere for a GREEN phone..today he found one!
He found a purple one for Chloe!
and speaking of Purple...look what Jacob just fell in love with!ha!
