We Made it to Texas!

We are all moved in to our new home north of Dallas! Our house is getting organized - we are mostly unpacked and just trying to get our stuff to fit in the new house. Chloe and Parker love their new yard although it is totally overrun by mosquitos. We have people coming this week to install mosquito mitigation in our yard. Our kids are polka dotted with bites on their arms and legs :(

I'll get some pictures posted soon. Happy Memorial Day to all!

Chloe's 5th Birthday at MyGym

What a great place to have a kid's birthday party. They did such a good job - the kids were exhausted. It's worth every penny!

Chloe let Parker come too!

It's been WAY too long!

What can I say, we've been really busy.

We are moving to Dallas in May! Ray accepted a job working for Jeff Hughes, whom he worked with for several years right out of college. He's really excited about a new and totally different work adventure.

We got our house on the market Easter weekend and it was sold on Monday, the first day it was available for showing. Our buyer is a former Maverick Hockey player which is pretty wild since we love UNO hockey! Hopefully their family will enjoy this house as much as we have. We are sad to leave it (and our family, neighbors, coworkers and friends).

We have a great new house in Lewisville Texas in the Castle Hills neighborhood. It's a fantastic area for families and we're hopeful we'll meet some great people there!

Here are some pictures from Easter at Ray's parents house.

Chloe has the easter egg hunt down!

Parker was so excited to get this easter egg that he ran square into the fence. He looks really upset but let me tell you, he bounced back QUICKLY!

Playing Outside at Last!

We finally got a nice day to play outside and enjoy some sunshine!

Tomorrow is Chloe's birthday so we have a bunch of fun stuff planned! Ray and I have the day off so we're going to play on the trampoline (which Ray and I plan to assemble this evening), go to lunch at Hector's and then Cupcake Island. Omaha friends, if you haven't been there, you should go! Chloe is so excited for her birthday and her birthday party, which is next weekend. She and 19 friends will have the run of My Gym.

She's already gotten one present so far - a Zhu Zhu pet from Grandma & Grandpa named Coco. She has had a blast playing with it already.

Texas Trip

We spent last weekend in Texas visiting some old friends. They have two kids the same age as ours and they all had a ball playing together - especially Chloe & Isabelle. They have a golf cart, which our kids LOVED! They got to go for a few rides and I'm sure that was the hi-light of their weekend.

February Update

Here are some updates from last weekend.

Chloe wanted to take pictures with the camera. Here's a shot of Jasmine, our cat (who is plotting her escape).

Parker wanted to take a picture of Chloe so here she is smiling sweetly.

Chloe took this one of Parker and me. If you look closely, you'll see Ray in the background. It's not quite the photobomb he's known for.

Here's Parker as he you'll find him a lot at our house. Wearing his ice skates, hitting anything he can find with his hockey stick. He's already pretty good at that hockey player scowl.

We had our last UNO hockey game of the season this past weekend and we also got to see the Lipazzaner Stallions on Valentine's Day. The kids were not nearly as interested as I thought they would be. Plus, Parker took a 4 hour nap so he was rearing to go.

UNO has one more home series (except for the playoffs of course) but we will be in Dallas that weekend. We're looking forward to escaping this dreadful weather. Hopefully Dallas will be much nicer and offer some refreshing sunshine.

Parker Loves Books!

Chloe does this all the time - falls asleep while looking at books in bed. Now Parker has started to do it too. Fortunately, he stayed asleep while the flash went off!

This is his big, big boy bed. He's been in it for awhile now and he will actually sleep in it all night. I'm ashamed to admit that I have bribed him with chocolate (if he sleeps in his bed all night, he gets a piece of chocolate in the morning) but it seems to be working. Work has been so stressful and I really need the sleep.
