The posts that never happened!

Ha, I thought I was really going to blog and blog often. Although it's been about 6 months since my first and only post, I'm going to post more often so my out of town friends and family can see what the boys and I are up to :) We are enjoying the weather here and have been making some great new friends.
Athen is talking a mile a minute and is singing lots of songs: he can sing his ABC's and the Thomas the Train song. He learned how to spell his name last week although he sometimes misses the "T." Maximo is growing so fast. He just started giggling this week and it is so sweet. He is still working on giving me a good night's sleep though... They both are such a joy and I feel so blessed to have them. Matt is really enjoying his job and goes to court for the first time this week. I am so proud of him and so thankful that he works and allows me to stay home to raise the boys. Here are some recent pictures of the boys, aren't they just so handsome...

My first blog...

So I decided to start a blog... With all of the changes in our lives, I wanted a place to capture everything going on and share it with everyone I love. I am not a good phone person, and I don't keep in touch very well, so I thought this would be perfect!

We are in our final week in Colorado! Moving to the country on Friday... I question if I'm ready for cowboys and the simple life. I will only have 6 or 7 weeks to test it out then I'm off to Ohio for a 3 month long vacation. Oh, and to have this baby boy growing in my belly! We are still trying to figure out where I can/will deliver and what the name will be! Suggestions are more then welcome!

While Matt takes the bar, Athen and I have been shopping (got to get it in while I can, the closest Target to Altus is an hour and a half), eating at our favorite Colorado places, and packing... Athen is helping out as well as a 21 month old can, unfolding clothes as I fold them, pulling everything out of the bags, and crying when he sees that I have packed up his favorite "Cars" t-shirt. I really thought having a boy I wouldn't have a battle over what he would wear, but those "Cars" t-shirts are meltdown city! Athen crying, "mean, mean!" Which translates to McQueen, McQueen.

We have enjoyed our summer in Colorado! Athen is going to miss Grandma and Grandpa. Matt and I are going to miss our weekly date nights (family=free babysitters) and grandma and grandpa... But we are looking forward to starting this next chapter in our life... In the meantime, the packing resumes...
