The end

Okay big Harry Potter fan here. I started the whole series two weeks ago and finished this past weekend. I had read the previous books as they came out, but wanted to start right at the very beginning before reading the last and final book.


It amazes me that J.K. Rowling was able to create these characters and keep you interested for SEVEN books. I felt like I was living in their world. By the time I got 3/4 through Deathly Hallows I couldn't put it down. I had to finish it.

I have yet to hear of someone that has read the series that didn't like it. So for those of you who haven't read it, go for it!

The next series I am going to start is the Twilight series. I have heard from many people that they are excellent books. I was a little leery at first because it's about a vampire (thanks for the correction!). . . but then I realized I LOVE Harry Potter and it's about witches and wizards! Funny.

Now if this post wasn't enough to let you know what a nerd I am there's more!!!

Friday night High School Musical 2 is coming out on the disney channel. Once again I thought it was silly how much people raved about this movie, but once I saw it I was hooked. I own the movie and the soundtrack. Isaac loves the movie, and we will watch it together and sing along with all of the songs.

While on the topic of movies I can't wait to go and see Hairspray. My sister told me it's her new favorite movie. I obviously enjoy movies with young, cute singing boys. . . Zac Efron is in both, so what's not to love?!

Anyway if there was any confusion before about what a nerd I am, it should all be cleared up now!!

Home Sweet Home

Well we have been here for a month in our new home, and I have finally gotten around to taken some pictures. Not of the whole house, but it's a start! I have big plans for painting and decorating too, but that will come with time.


We will start down the hall to the kids' bedrooms


Here is Isaac's jungle bathroom (sorry the lighting is so weird)



Next comes Ainsley's room


Then is Isaac's bedroom



Last room down this hallway is the guest bedroom (come and visit!!!)

As the Days Fly By

I don't have much to post right now. I have been busy, busy, busy. Last week I had mastitis, then a wisdom tooth infection. This week Isaac has been sick (croup and ear infections) and it looks as though Ainlsey has started in on this little party!! So needless to say there has been much sleeping, coloring, reading and watching movies around here. Hopefully this will soon pass and we can start enjoying what Texas has to offer.

All Smiles

Ainlsey is five months old today. Just to prove that she is getting older she rolled over today. Isaac, Ainlsey and I all had the same look of shock on our faces. Then we all laughed, well Ainsley didn't laugh she just smiled, looking quite pleased with herself. Then to show me it wasn't a fluke, she did it again.

She is such a pleasure to have around, always smiling (especially when Isaac is around).


This is what she is up to these days:

Talking nonstop (she's a girl!!)
Grabbing for everything within her reach
Smiling, Smiling, and Smiling some more
Yelling at mommy or daddy when she is mad (not crying, yelling)
Rolling over (as of today)
Doing sit ups, she can almost go from lying to sitting up
Siting up pretty good on her own before toppling over
Jumping and bouncing
Playing with her feet CONSTANTLY
Being the sweetest baby on the block

AND this is what happens

When two boys are left alone together, Daddy has found a good book to read, and Isaac has found Mommy's makeup. . .



I never know what's going to happen when Michael and Isaac get together. They keep me on my toes, and always keep me laughing. I definitely love my two boys!

This is what happens when. . .

It is Saturday night, and you realize that your boys look too scraggly for church in the morning:

They get the same exact haircut from mom. The only kind I know how to do. . . all buzzed off. Now hopefully it will grow back quickly enough to get professional haircuts before we go and get our family pictures taken!!

Take it Easy

I was lucky enough to wake up this morning to not one, but TWO sick children. My day has been filled with runny noses, watery eyes, coughing and sneezing. Isaac has asked to take two naps, and Ainsley is going on number four.

If you know my family well, you know we always are sick around here. One would think I was used to it by now. . . I do have a routine down, but boy it sure wears me out!
