VBS 2012

We just finished up a fun week of VBS at our church.  Connor had a blast!  He came home every day singing all the songs and telling us about the fun things he did in class.  

During the week the boys made crafts...  

Played with friends...

 Listened to Bible stories...

 Learned lots of new songs...

Lots of fun activities and games...

and ended the week with a musical performance.

This is a video from the rehearsal on Friday morning.  Cole came to the actual performance, but Connor was so tired he sat on the step most of the time.  It is a long week for these little ones!

It was a great week for all of us!

Risher Martin

We are excited to share that Cole has a new job!  Several weeks ago he was approached by 2 different companies to interview for an open position.  While he was not looking to make a move he decided to at least meet with them for the interviews.  He met with Risher Martin Fine Homes where he was soon offered his "dream job."  They are a custom home builder that mainly focus on remodeling.  You can check out their blog to see Cole's new bio:  Risher Martin Blog  We are all so excited about this new company and the opportunities that he has ahead of him. An extra bonus was that he was able to take a week off (which perfectly fell on Connor's birthday) and his commute is now cut in half!  Most of his jobs will be in central and south Austin.  We are proud of you Daddy Boy!

A Few More Birthday Celebrations

With a new grandbaby on the way, we decided to celebrate with Nana and Poppa a week early.

Connor was greeted by cute birthday decorations, cupcakes, and gifts.  They also made a special lunch for us to enjoy.

The boys had lots of fun playing outside on the gator.  Carson even took a few turns driving.

Singing Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!

Connor's actual birthday fell on the Monday after his party so we decided to let him pick something special to do.  He quickly decided that he wanted to go to Gattitown for games and pizza.

He LOVED this bowling game and was literally jumping up and down with excitement in between each bowl.

 After swim lessons and a trip to our pool we headed home for a cupcake surprise.

Happy 4th Birthday, Connor!  You are one loved little boy!

Fun with Family

During the week before Connor's party, Momma Lou and Ed made a trip down to Austin to spend some time with us.  They even stepped up and babysat for us while Mom and I attended a luncheon.  (Thank you! :) )  We had such a great time during their visit and the boys loved every minute of it!

 One morning we picked up some sandwiches for a picnic lunch at Zilker.  Then we took a ride on the train.

 One of the highlights was that they were able to join us for Connor's party.  They were a huge help and we couldn't have done it without them.

Thank you for coming to stay with us.  We all had a great time!
