Our New Home!

Upon arriving in our new home we started getting things set up.  We were grossly unprepared for how long it would take to unpack and get settled (as in we are still knee deep in boxes. . .).

We were super blessed to have Mandy and Nick come for our first weekend and help us get set up.  They also installed fans, cooked dinner, etc.  It was awesome and so much fun having them.  Adrienne and Keanan were supposed to come as well but the family got a stomach bug.  Huge bummer!

Mandy got a lot of time with Lincoln and also made us one of the most delicious dinners ever!

Mom texted me this picture of the boys saying goodbye to the old house.  She was keeping the boys for us over the weekend while we unpacked and brought them to us on Monday.

Adrienne texted me this super sweet picture of our bigs the night before their first day of school without us. 

We didn’t immediately find our helmets so I went on our first day in the new house and bought new ones.  In our house you can never have too many helmets.  Jackson of course has to have the helmet for ages 14+.  No surprise there!

My incredible little hulks.

Bear woke up on his second day in the house and said, “my new home!  I love my new home!”

Happy Lincoln.

Baron loves Lincoln so much.  He’s always begging to hold him.

Our first weekend with the boys our street had a block party.  Here are a few of the kids watching a movie with Papa’s projector in the front yard.  It was a great way to meet everyone!

I just can’t take enough pictures of our teeny man!

We got “Boo’d” with a nice basket of candy and candles the week of Halloween.

Jackson drew this picture of our family and I just love it. 

I recently read an article about how important it is to be in pictures with your kids.  It was talking about how moms feel too dumpy, frumpy, etc to be in the pictures and how kids would later treasure them.  These are definitely not treasures but here’s a few shots with my smallest man.  Fresh out of bed and sans make up but hey-the article inspired me.

The grocery store by our house always has a cooking demonstration going on.  Almost every time I go I buy the demo dinner and cook it that night.  So far Jay has loved them all.

Mom came back to visit us for Halloween which was awesome.  It was so much fun to have her back.  The kids loved trick or treating with new neighbors, Jason and Hailey.

Our neighborhood was crazy on Halloween.  Everyone was dressed up and all of the houses were decorated. 

This house had music synchronized with their lights.

This house had a guy out from juggling fire.  The boys loved it.

The boys got so much candy.  I let them each have 1 piece and they were more than happy with that.

As usual my boys enjoy dressing up EVERY.DAY.

I sure do love my super heroes!

I just can’t believe how big Lincoln is getting!

Super fun Halloween in our new home!
