An Anden Funny!
Joe was.... ehm..... going potty the other day and had the door closed and locked. I was in the kitchen and noticed Anden going in and out of all the rooms. Well he must have been looking for Joe. He walks in the kichen and holds up his little hands and shrugs his shoulders and says,
"Where is Daddy? I can't find him anywhere!"
There is a pause as he looks around the room and suddenly he yells,
"He ran away! HE'S ON A MISSION!"
I about died laughing! I have no idea where he got that from!

Update on us!
We are here! Sorry I have not been on much lately. The modem we have to plug the computer in to is in the worst spot at the new apartment and so hard to get on the computer with the boys. Hopefully I will have our wireless router soon! I never realized how much I took that thing for granted!
We are doing well and in our furnished apartment for right now. The moving truck finally came today and everything is in storage. Hopefully it won't be in there for long since we signed some preliminary papers on a house! YEA! We are hoping to close in the next few weeks if everything goes well.
Cole is now 2 months old and went to his Drs appt yesterday. We have a big boy on our hands! He now weighs 13lbs 3 oz. Anden weighed 13lbs 12oz at this point so he was a bit bigger. We think the Cole may have a "loose" trachea which makes him sound like he needs to clear his throat some times. The Dr said that most babies with this grow out of it by 3-4 months. I hope so! Cole is such a sweet and happy little baby. He has learned in the last few days how much he loves to sit up while you are holding him so he can see everything. He starts to cry if you try to lay him down. He is ready to conquer the world! He is also smiling and cooing. So sweet! I just want to bottle all of this sweetness and keep it forever!

TEXAS HERE WE COME!
Joe got the job! We just got word this morning. I am so excited, scared, nervous, sad, and giddy all at the same time! This is really bitter sweet. We loved TX when we lived there last year. It was so family friendly and we always had something to do. I am also so excited we are going to be able to get into a house again and out of an apartment. Apartment life is soooo hard with kids. Plus I get to see all of my TX Mama friends again and hopefully meet a few more!
I am nervous about the whole process of the move. I really should be a pro at this after 6 long distance moves in 5 years. You have to pack the whole house when you go on a trip with babies. Eeeek! We are going to be in the car with a newborn and a toddler for a LONG 3 or 4 days. I really hope it goes smooth. I know I am going to forget something! I am also sad and nervous because we are moving further away from family and support. We are also leaving the best neighbors we have ever had. :(
The movers are coming to pack on Thursday and coming back to pick everything up on Friday. I think we are going to clean all day Friday after they leave and head out very early Sat morning. We will then drive to Georgia and stay with my Dad and Stepmother for a night and probably try to make it to Louisiana the next day. Hopefully we will make it to our new home in TX on the 3rd day.
I will keep everyone posted!
AWESOME GIVEAWAY!
WOW! 5 Minutes for Mom is giving away a 37 inch flat-panel LCD HDTV! It is valued at $799 from Best Buy.
Joe and I were just talking about how we needed to update our dinosaur tvs.
This is such a GREAT giveaway!

Can you do it?
Joe and I could not stop laughing earlier tonight because we needed to yawn soooo bad but couldn't because we were laughing so hard! I love it! LOL! This is the best commercial I have seen in a while!
*YAWN*

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Couple of Weeks!
(I always loved that book as a kid.)
Ok so maybe not that bad... but pretty close. Along with my hormones still out of whack and playing horrible tricks on me, my nerves are shot with this move. I just have not had the energy to post. I so hope to be back to my old self again soon!

Such a fun day!
(*Disclaimer* - I know! I know! How can one put so many pics in one post? But I got so many good ones of us having fun! Click on the links to see more pics!)
Today was such a really good day! I had so much fun with my guys!
My neighborhood was having a community yard sale and summer fest with fun and games. So Cole, Anden and I got up early and put a pot of coffee on for Joe and we munched on donuts and blueberry muffins. Got my first real Cole smile caught on camera! Then we headed out!
It really was a PERFECT day!
Joe and I are now relaxing with beer and wine with 2 good movies to watch and tons of shows just waiting on TIVO. Anden is tucked away in bed and Cole is bathed and once again passed out!
Check out Cole's new babylegs! I gotta get him some more! I love em! Perfect for a summer baby!

It was so nice to have it right in our back yard! I think Anden had a blast! Cole did too! :)I found lots of great deals! Got the boys a few more books and toys. (Yeah... like we needed toys! *rolling eyes*)
I came home and loaded several things into our van and took it to the Goodwill. We are just trying to unload a bunch of stuff for our upcoming move. We are 93% sure it is taking place now just not sure if we will find out today or sometime next week. *sigh* Click HERE to see a video of Anden talking about our move!
We then took Anden swimming! Again, Cole had a BLAST! Came home and gave Anden a bath and Joe made us a yummy dinner!

My Sleeping Prince
Guess where Anden is right now!?!?!?!?!?
The other day I moved his crib and toddler bed into our other room so he could have a choice but if he chose his big boy bed he would not have the toys to distract him. Everytime we put him to bed we ask him where he wants to sleep and he has been saying the crib so that is where we put him.
I went to lay Anden down for his nap today and asked where he wanted to sleep and he pointed to his toddler bed and said "that one!" So I laid him down and he covered himself up and I asked if he was going to go "night night" and he said "night night".
I have a video monitor so I have been watching him and he has gotten up twice to get a book but got right back in to bed. He finally put the books to the side and went to sleep!
I hope this works! I don't want to speak to soon. But I am ok with him going back to the crib if he wants to. I am in no rush really.
We did this last Dec and it was not this easy so who knows.
IN HIS TODDLER BED!

Calling all my fellow band geeks!
Totally random!
Ok I wasn't in the band, but oh how I miss it! Dancing and Colorguard that is!
I was in Dance & Colorguard for 3 years in high school. I have so many fond memories of those days. I loved it! Then when I was in college and while working two jobs, I also was a colorguard instructor for a local high school for 3 years. It was the only thing that kept me sane while I was so busy. It made me so happy and made me feel like I accomplished so much! Their guard had not placed in competition for years and the 1st year I was there they got superior ratings!
Today I started reminiscing and found this video of the BLAST! DCI group. Makes me want to pick up a broom and start dancing! LOL! Wouldn't that be a sight! Anden would think his Mama had lost her mind! :)
And for my fellow band geeks, here is another video that includes the brass and percussion and a little colorguard thrown in. :)
