HOT August!!!

This summer in Austin has been extremely HOT and DRY!  I think we are close to 75 days of over 100 degree heat and no rain in sight.  We have spent a lot of time at the pool and trying to find indoor activities.

Luv-a-lot was at the beginning of August this year and since there hasn't been rain the lake was really low. Mom and I took the boys out for the day and they had a blast playing in the water with their cousins.

 We also took the boys to the circus along with the Robson's. They both really enjoyed it...

 ...especially anna and duncan who were hugging and kissing throughout the show!

We got a break from the heat when we traveled to Angel Fire, NM for Christina and Bret's wedding. The boys got to spend time with Grammy and Bopba and mom and dad got to spend time together and with great friends at the wedding.

July 4th weekend

We went to Port Aransas with friends for July 4th weekend.  It was the first time either of the boys have been to the ocean and they loved it.  Duncan wouldn't get out of the water!  Bowen started crawling while we were there!

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 :)
