Just Call Me Dorthy...

We Made It!!! We drove up yesterday afternoon and stayed at Kelly and David's last night. We hired movers to unload us. It took 3 beastly men almost 4 hours to move everything into the correct rooms. I was so thankful for their help! So far, we haven't found any major packing casualties :). Hampton and the babies are doing great. Hampton was precious exploring his new house and is so excited to be unpacking all his 'new' toys. When he was checking out his room, the jack and jill bathroom, and the babies room he turned to my mom and asked, 'How do I get out of here?' We have had lots of help and are so thankful to have moved close to family. We've decided to stay with K and D again tonight to escape a little of the chaos. We'll be up early tomorrow to put in a full day of organizing and unpacking.

Reid just rolled over from his back to his tummy!!!


Drew got a Vespa and Hampton thinks "Drew's nocycle" is the coolest thing ever. Drew and Hilary say it's a blast. Watching them ride it is hilarious! I am thankful Drew does fun, spontaneous things...like randomly purchasing a Vespa :).

Texas Rangers

At the end of May some of our best friends invited us to go to the Casting Crowns concert at the Ranger's game. Ben was excited to make it a family outing, but I was a bit uneasy about taking everyone to a hot, long baseball game and concert. Thankfully the concert was before the game, so we didn't feel pressure to stay for the whole game. There were several WM families, but Hampton was most excited about seeing Jack and his cousins. He wasn't too interested in the concert, but wanted to know all the details about the baseball game. There were lots of helping hands, so the evening went really well. Ben focused mainly on Hampton (and Jack), while Caren, Ashlee and I took care of the babies. Jay purchased a block of tickets and wisely chose seats on four short rows rather than one long row. It was great, because the kids were able to climb all over the place (mainly to whoever had the food). We had so much fun and bought some last minute Ranger's gear before moving away.

Sweet Caren loves my kids as her own

Ben answering all of Hampton's questions about the field and game.

Jack lovin' on Lucy between plays I guess it's a baseball tradition, but it's also a lot of sugar :). He was so excited.
Sweet Emerson, mean face Hampton
Having so much fun!


What fun memories we made!

Summer...

We had a little fun tonight in the backyard while dinner was in the oven. I missed taking pictures of batting practice, but made it out in time for sprinkler time. I have been debating buying Hampton a fun water toy for the backyard. Today, I visited the outdoor water fun isle at Target again and was discouraged by the expense for a little backyard fun. Just for kicks I decided to checkout the gardening isle in hopes to find something a bit less expensive.
This beauty will provide endless fun for a mere $2!

Hampton just "etercised" with me to a workout video. After about 10 minutes, he looked up at the screen and said, "Hey, Mommy. Der naked. Why dey naked?"
Throughout the work out he repeatedly said, "Dis is hard for me Mommy. I'm done." Of course I encouraged him to stick with it and not be a quitter, but readily admitted that it was really hard for Mommy too. I'm worn out!
