Hi there!

Well, remodeling an old house and finally moving into it can really be a time suck!  We moved into the place two months ago now, and I've been busy enjoying it here with the family and making it lovely.

I have not yet photographed the house, but I'm pushing myself to get stuff up on the walls and do it...because I know that everyone wants some before and after pictures of the newly remodeled house!

In the meantime, here's a few pictures from the last few weekends.
First day of 1st grade!
Jumping on the trampoline in 100 degree weather doesn't phase these kids.
Wake boarding -- Darren's still got it!
Climbing on Labor Day in 90+ degrees.
We're back with the yoga pics!
Labor Day weekend Arthur Blanton art museum at UT.
"Don't touch, Walter!"
Darren's mom working on a 5.10a...next time she'll get it!
Ended our Labor Day at REI...looks like the kids want to take a backpacking trip.

Your kids are so big! Especially Lila. She looks so tall! I love that they climb. Michael and I did an intro course for his bday, and it fun but way hard!

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
