Houston Zoo

Early in January we took my mother-in-law down to Houston for a visit with her doctor. Well it just so happens that her doctor's office is right across the street from the Houston zoo. So, while she did her thing in the office, we strolled across the street & visited all the wonderful animals.

the picture behind the shell looks sooo real


we HAD to visit the kids play area

Eric always the joker, Mason not real happy!

Eric's Birthday

We gave Eric a choice of what he wanted to do for his big day & he chose Gattiland, big surprise there! Joining us for pizza & games were my parents, my brother, Kim & Emily.

The New House

The week after Christmas we signed the contract on a brand-spanking new house in Kyle. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2010 sq ft of our very own piece of heaven. Right after Christmas we started the very tedious process of packing up 10 years worth of stuff. We closed on the house on January 28th & moved in that night!!

Christmas

Christmas was a little chaotic this last year, we had just moved back, just signed the paperwork for our new house & started the process of packing up 10 years worth of stuff in the old house. Still the boys managed to make quite a haul.



Halloween

For Halloween Eric decided he wanted to be a zombie, AWESOME! (A real chance to let my creativity take over!) Mason didn't get a choice, he was Superman. After Halloween 07' I bought a cute little Superman costume on clearance at HEB for $4. I figured it would either fit him in '08 or it wouldn't, either way it was only $4. Lucky for me, it fit. Even as young as he was, Superman fit his personality to a T! We hit up the Amberwood neighborhood in Kyle this year & the boys had a blast, in just one street the boys got enough candy to last them awhile!



the zombie & Superman!
pretty scary zombie, don't you think?
isn't this the cutest Superman, you've ever seen??
Superman PICKS.UP.THE.WAGON!!
(Ok, maybe he had a little help)

Visiting the Reeves

Sometime after we got back to Texas we spent a quiet Saturday evening over at the Reeves, jammin out to Rock Band actually, but that's neither here nor there. The funny part of the evening was when the kids took over the drums. I think we may have some future drummers on our hands.

such a cheese!
Addison is a natural!

Mason & Addison take turns.
impossible to get these three to sit still long enough to take a picture.

Sesame Street LIVE!!

As a gift from my parents for the boys' double birthday party, Eric & Mason got tickets to go see Sesame Street LIVE in San Antonio. They both really enjoyed it, Eric more than Mason (he might have been a little too young to sit still for that long) but it was still really cute & fun to watch.
