And Baby makes 5

Funny boys

Chris and Cam ready to go play some tennis! Camden loves for he and Chris to match, hence the sweat/wrist bands!

Moving On....

Well, we sold our house at the beginning of November. We are ready to find something that suits our growing family a little better! Such a bitter sweet time saying goodbye to a house we loved and brought our first two babies home too. Now we look forward to loving a new house for all the kids to grow up in!

Pumpkins!

Almost 28 week bump (last week)

School Times

School has started, and we now officially have a kindergartner and second grader!! How does that happen? They both have wonderful teachers, and are loving school!

Here they are before leaving for their first day
We had a special breakfast of french toast to start the day off.

Here is daddy with his big boy ready for kinder!

These to BFF's got in the same class again! They are lucky and very happy to be together this year! So cute, both in their plaid dresses- it wasn't even planned! I guess great fashion minds think alike :)

We are excited about this year, and all that comes with school and their activities outside of school! We also can't believe that in a few short months we will be adding a newborn to it all! We are blessed beyond belief!

A visit from Cousins

We had a great visit with Melody and Mitchell! So glad they stopped by on their way home. The kids both adore Mitchell, I think they wear him out!

VBS

What a wild week at Pamdamania VBS! God is wild about us!!

Family Day at Camp

Aubrey has attended camp all week and today is family day! So fun!

A Favorite Summertime Spot

Both kids love to play in MiMi and PawPaw's shaded sandbox! They especially love the new bridge that daddy helped to put together.

Alpaca

Yay, this was a little test to see if I could post pictures straight from my phone to the blog- and it worked!! This will make things much easier, and maybe I will update more often. Now I just have to figure out how get words in it too :)

Oh, and this was a picture from our little vacation- they have lots of interesting animals on the property and we ran into this sweet Alpaca!

The Pool

While at the Hyatt we spent the majority of our time at the pool! They have a water slide, lazy river, beach area, and a great pool area for kids.

We all enjoyed some poolside smoothies to help keep us cool!

The kids loved the slide!

I love this picture of them together waiting to go down the slide! They take care of each and really have fun togther.

We will definately be going back!

Vacation Time!!!

This past weekend we took a last minute vacation to the Hyatt Lost Pines- one of our favorites! I am breaking this up into two posts! On Saturday night the kids had fun making smores! Aubrey just likes the toasted marshmallows!

Here I am enjoying my own Smore! While we were walking around that evening we got to see three owls! They were big and flying around- it was really interesting to watch!

Here's Cam by the river.

Here we are ready for the "movie on the lawn". They even provide fresh, buttery popcorn!

This was such a fun, family get away. I'm so glad we went and made so many memories!

Aubrey is 7!!!!

I know every parent says it, but it's true...... they grow up so fast! Aubrey is such an amazing 7 year old and brings us so much joy. Although these pictures are out of order, you still get the idea!

Here she is they day after her true birthday in one of her new outfits, and playing with her new American girl doll case and closet.

She of course had breakfast in bed on her birthday, and got to open her presents! Aubrey got a new bike that she picked out and loves! Here she is with her adorable little brother while opening a gift from her Great Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Joe!

A week before her actual birthday we had Aubrey's party. She wanted a bowling party so that is what she got. She invited her best friends and they all went bowling- it was great fun!

Here she is with her cake at the party (and yes, she does have on some make-up but that is ONLY because she went to another birthday party an hour before her own where they dressed up!)

If this all was not enough, she also got to have 2 special birthday dinners with both sets of grandparents! I think it's safe to say that 7 has started out pretty great for our sweet girl :)

Easter

We had a great Easter this year! Here are the kids after coloring some eggs. Now that the kids are a little older the eggs are even prettier!

Easter morning they are ready to hunt for eggs!
Here they are ready for church! Camden plays the role of little bother very well!!

Could they be any cuter? I sure don't think so!

Not so many Bluebonnets

Without much rain this year, there were almost no bluebonnets to be found. Luckily right by Camden's ball fields there was a nice little patch and Chris was smart enough to take the kids over after a game and get a few snap shots for the 2011 year!

Baseball!

This spring Camden played baseball (or tee-ball) in the 6 and under age group. The season started a couple weeks before his 5th birthday, so he was one of the younger players! He was amazing! He hit a few homeruns this season and was great as the pitcher- getting the ball and throwing to first! We got lots of comments from coaches and parents that they couldn't believe he had just turned 5- because of how well he played they assumed he was older. Get ready, we may have a major leaguer on our hands!! Really, look at that form :)

Here he is running home! Such a cute little baseball player. We really had a fun season with great coaches- hopefully that will continue!

April Adventures

We started the month by celebrating Gigi's birthday! It was a beautiful spring day and we all had fun! Here are the cousins! Aubrey was very happy to hold sweet little Reese!

Then there was Aubrey's Field Trip. We had lunch at the Captial grounds and then went to the Austin Children's museum. Lots of excitement!

And then we were excited to go to MiMi and PawPaw's neighborhood Easter celebration. They always have a petting zoo, and the kids LOVE the bunnies! They also got to feed a calf- it was so sweet!

We had a great April! Can't believe how fast it went! Now only a few more weeks of school and it will be summer!!!!

One more at Kyle Field

Here is Chris and the kids, with Kyle Field in the background. They got out and ran around for awhile. It had been a long time since Chris had been on campus, he said it brought back lots of memories. I'm sure very different than having a 5 yr old, almost 7 yr old and a wife! Ha!!

Down in Houston

Kate and Camden have so much fun together!

I love this picture of Chris with his oldest brother Bill.

ATM fun

For Spring Break we took a mini vacation. It started out in College Station at an Aggie Baseball game. We had so much fun! Here Cam and I are smiling for a picture :) Aubrey and Cam had fun running around, out of the sun. I think they enjoyed this more than the game!

We stopped by a bookstore to get a couple of T-shirts and couldn't resit at picture with Bevo and his horns cut off!

An Aubrey with her initials.

We left College Station and headed down to Houston for some time with the cousins. Those pics coming soon!
