A little of this, a little of that!

Just some updated pics of the past month or so!! Our spring has started out busy and we keep going full speed ahead...and don't see any signs of slowing down for a while!! But we're enjoying every minute!!
 (And yes, Emily is wearing a pair of Garrett's undies....she puts them on all by herself!! What a big girl!! LOL!!)!

Rainy day fun!

Happy Birthday, Andy!!

On May 19 Andy turned 27!! We had a party for him on the 20, but Andy's parents weren't able to make that day, so Andy's mom came over on the 19th and we celebrated with his parents on his actual birthday, after the guys were off work. Andy's mom brought a pizza for dinner and a birthday pie for afterwards! It was super nice, and the kids and I enjoyed spending time with Grandma P. while Grandpa and Daddy were at work. I hope that Andy enjoyed his birthday celebrations to the fullest! He is the greatest husband anyone could ask for and he deserves to have the best birthday ever!

Home is where you hang your memories...

Well it  has been a while since I've posted last and I figured that today would be a good day to do it. While I'm keeping my mind busy waiting to hear how mom's surgery went, I will post a few updates!! First of all, on May 14 we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of being in our new home. I know it seems kind of dorky to celebrate, but still, we are thrilled to be here and are so thankful for all the ways we've been blessed in this year. We've been able to improve a little along the way also. We've had some rock delivered and made a nice, mud-free walk for ourselves from the house to the cars, we've done some major painting (and some more on the way!!), and the biggest achievement so far, is our fence. We were able to fence off the entire property and put up a gate, that way the dogs have free run whenever they want!! It has been SOOOOOOO nice!! I've made a picture collage of our first year and I hope you enjoy! We have some of our best memories in our old house. It was the house I moved into after Andy and I got married, we brought home two beautiful babies to that home, and we enjoyed life with our perfect little family there for a little over 4 years. But we are happy to move on and build new memories in this home. And, I must say, we've done a pretty good job of that already!! We are off to a good start here!! If this is what the first year is like, I can't wait to see year 50!! Please enjoy the picutres of year one!!
