moving/new house

After 5 years in our home, we have sold it.  We have so many memories in that house that it is hard to leave, but we can't stay there forever - we are home builders :).  We are renting a home in Travis Country West which is a little closer in and has much more space.  We will only be here a short time while we build our home in Rob Roy.  We have just completed our plans and hope to start construction by the end of the year.

Moving is never fun, but thank goodness for movers + grammy and Bobpa coming into town + Taffy and Grandstan helping out.  It is hard to move when you are a little OCD about things being in their place, but I think I handled it all pretty well.  I was really worried about the boys getting acclaimated, but they did GREAT!  Duncan really threw me for a loop when he decided 2 days before the move to start climbing out of his crib!!!  I was hoping we would at least be able to get used to the new house before we had to make the change to a big boy bed, but he had his own schedule.  So....he is in a big boy bed on the 2nd floor, but he is doing great...such a BIG BOY!  He loves the new house, especially the stairs and his huge playroom :)

Memorial Day Weekend at the Lakehouse

We had such a great weekend at the lakehouse with the family over memorial day weekend!  We stayed from Friday through Monday.  Duncan LOVED the water and hanging out with his cousins.  He followed Zach around everywhere and by the end of the weekend he was yelling for Logan which sounded a little more like "Mowen".  Bowen LOVED all the attention :)

cute things Duncan says....

I always say I need to write these things down so I don't forget them, but never do.  So I'm posting it here while I'm thinking about some of the funny things Duncan has been saying lately...

One of his favorite movies these days is Toy Story.  He calls it "eewey and bus" for Woody and Buzz Lightyear, 2 of the main characters.  He has a toy Buzz Lightyear that says "To infinity...AND BEYOND!"  Duncan says "eewey, bus...and beyond!"...so cute!

After every bath he runs into his room and we put on lotion before diaper and PJ's.  He likes to pump the lotion out onto his hands, smells it and says "mmmm" and then rubs it on his toes.  He calls it "shotion".  One day I was putting "shotion" on Bowen and Duncan asked for "shotion" so I put it in his hand but he had all his clothes on including socks and shoes and he had no clue where to put it since his toes were covered :)

Duncan is 2!!!!

Duncan has had a GREAT 2nd Birthday with a full week of celebrations.  It started on Sunday when we celebrated his birthday with the family.  He learned about singing "Happy Birthday" and cake and blowing out candles.  So now every time we sing "Happy Birthday" he asks for cake.  He also wants to do it over and over again so he can blow out the candles.  We then celebrated with a small party with a few of his friends on Tuesday night.  We are taking Duncan to Sea World on Saturday....more pics to come!
