Three Day Weekend

Our three day weekend has been full of sunshine, food, family, and fun! 

First, I would like to introduce you to Grady.  Grady is the newest addition to our growing boat family.  The Ranger was sold and Grady quickly took its place.  You may remember the blood, sweat, and tears that Jordan shed while restoring the Manatee just last summer.  During all the shedding, he did not realize how little of a fan I was going to be of the small bay boat.  A bigger boat was a necessity.  Maybe not an immediate necessity, but who is keeping track?  Saturday was our first family outing on Grady and I must say that it is not going to take much for me to want to be on the water every weekend!

Memorial Day was another great day over the weekend.  We spent it at Nanny and PawPaw's house.  I wish I would have gotten a better picture of her outfit before she decided to not use the potty.  (Oh the joys of potty training!)  

      

Hamburgers  + Nanny + PawPaw = Great Memorial Day

This activity was actually done on Tuesday, but I wanted to include it on this week's post.  Thank you, Pinterest for this wonderful five dollar idea!  C had an absolute blast painting her hands and feet!  She was actively engaged for almost an hour completing her masterpiece.

She was so proud!

Since Our Move

It is so hard for me to believe that we left Texas almost 2 months ago.  You will see in the following picture explosion that we have been quite busy having a great time!  Enjoy the scroll!

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party
We went with Angela to a 3 year old's birthday party where  C casually asked Minnie a very important question, "Where's Mick?"

Our Humble Abode

Our new house is finally starting to take shape.  Here are some pics to catch everyone up.

I was out of town when they finished clearing the lot, but was delightfully surprised to see the foundation when I returned!

Don't you like our 3 trees?

Backyard
We have a few trees and the lot line goes right past where Jordan is standing.

C's Room

Hmm...I wonder if this is a toilet line!

Since the process of building this house has been so slow, I didn't expect to see a framed house for at least a week.  Look at what we found 3 days later!

The First Post

Hi!  Welcome to our blog!  I want you to know my expectations for this blog are high.  My number one goal is to keep our friends and family updated on the daily ins and outs of our lives.  Although many of you are hundreds of miles away, my hope is that you will feel a little closer with the reading of each post.


Along with the current events of our lives, I also hope to use this blog as an outlet to write about things that are important to me.  Motherhood, photography, decorating, and our struggle to become a family of four are a few topics under consideration.  My diligence in meeting my number one goal will dictate my dream expansion of Our Three Trees. 


Happy Reading!
