Destin 2009
I took Jack and Jace to Destin, FL this summer with my friend Kristin and her daughter Lexie. Her in-laws own a condo so we stayed for free! Thanks Kristin's in-laws!! Anyways, here are a few pics of our trip!
House
Cody and I moved to Little Rock in the summer of 2002 after I graduated from OBU. We lived in an apartment for less than a year, all the while trying to figure out where we wanted to live. We bought a house in Bryant in May of 2003. We loved it in Bryant, but the house was older and needed some work. We considered it our starter/fixer-upper house. We thought we would be there about 3 years and sell it for a profit since it would be much nicer than the house we originally bought and moved into! Ha! Six years later, we sold the house. Not much had changed except for the kitchen flooring, some paint, and an eight foot privacy fence (we had a neighbor issue).
So, with a closing date in sight and nowhere to go we frantically looked at every house in our county within our budget. We couldn't find the house that fit our needs and budget at the same time. In calling around asking about houses I came into contact with a lady that was a builder and she told me I should look into building. I was nice and tried to appease her by talking with her about it, but on the inside I was thinking, "This lady doesn't know us! We can not afford to build on Cody's income and my babysitting money!".
Anyways, ended up moving into an apartment because we had to be out of our house and "the lady" put some figures on paper and here we are! We, well I should say the workers, began September 22nd. The first pic is on September 29th and the second is October 6th.
We are excited and nervous! We are thanking God for all He has done for us and all He has given us, and asking Him to make it all work!

Cowboy Night!
At AWANAs a couple weeks ago we had "cowboy night". We borrowed some cowboy boots and a western shirt from my sisters kids and bought some bandanas! Voila! I had to get in on the dressing up too since I am a leader for the Kindergarten class. Here are some pics, it was so much fun!
Jace turns two!!!
My BABY turned two a few weeks back. We had a bubble party at Mills Park. I filled a small kiddie pool with bubble solution and we used lots of bubble wands and fly swatters to blow bubbles!
At Jace's two year check-up we found out that his height has SHOT up! So much the nurse didn't believe she had wrote down the right numbers and she asked us to come back out and measure it again! So, he is 80-90% for height and 90% for weight now! He weighs 34 lbs! He is heavier than most 4 year olds! Ha! He definitely is my child.
Jace's favorite thing to do right now is to play with toy food and cooking stuff. So, for his birthday his "sugar" got him lots of play food and a shelf with baskets to store it all for his room. She also got him a toddler-sized inflatable trampoline! From his friends Jack Landon and Logan he got a Razorback apron with his name embroidered on it. He loves wearing it around and bringing me things to "eat".
He got lots of stuff and likes it all! He is really into jumping (anywhere, anytime, out of the car, off of ottomans, down the stairs, etc.) and loves to wear these camo rain boots that we have. He wore them to story time at the library on his birthday with shorts! He also loves story time. He sings along and likes to do the motions with the songs. He loves to pet the stuffed animals that Mrs. Debbie brings to go along with the songs and LOVES craft time at the end!
Jace memorizes the verses that Jack has for AWANAs right along with Jack. He always says, "Momma I say my verse and get a prize?". EVERYTHING in his world revolves around food! He is constantly asking for something to eat or drink. I spoke with the doctor about it and he said that Jace is a little heavier than he is tall so he is getting plenty and that it is ok to make him wait. Whick I knew but wanted confirmed!
Cody and I have absolutely so much fun with Jace. My dad, jace's "big daddy" says that he doesn't have a serious thought and that Jack doesn't have a thought that is not serious! They are opposites but still so much alike. Jace imitates everything jack does but is starting to get out of that and do more on his own. They are best friends and love playing together. Their mother's day out teachers say that when they are both at "gym time" together that they play together the whole time and that Jack takes care of Jace and makes sure he is ok! So precious! I am absolutely loving that we had them close together!
We love you Jace! We are proud of you and all that you can do but would be fine if you decided to stop growing up so quickly!!

Loving the cake!
