House-April 21, 2009

Much better. The brick has dried and has been acid washed. They have finished most of the sheet rock inside.

Flooding in Webster, TX

If you have been to our house you know that we are somewhat on a hill. Can you believe a rain storm on April 18th put approx. 3 in. of water in our garage. It was around an 1 in or so from coming in the front door. We had gone out that morning and the weather was bad but not that bad. After leaving Garden Ridge it began to pour. We turn on the road to our house and notice the street is cover and it is starting to go up the driveway. I told Bill that if it continued it would get in the garage. He said "not possible". I was right.

Disney on Ice

On Friday April 17th we took the girls to see Disney on ice. They loved it.

House-April 16th 2009

Okay so we pull up to the house to take a look and I look at the house and then over to Bill. I said "I don't like it. Did we really pick brick that dark". Bill says " I didn't think so but I guess you will have to learn to like it". Well I wasn't satisfied with that answer so we went to the office to talk to "the guy". He said "follow me over there and I can tell you on the spot if it is the brick you chose". Which was Aspen. He gets out of his car and his jaw dropped. Then he walked over to one of the brick piles and pulled the paperwork on it. Yep it was Aspen. He then told us that it was still wet and that they acid wash it. I have to say I was somewhat relieved.

Monkey N Around

On April 16th I took Irelynn to Monkey N Around for a playdate. She had a great time.

dirty girl

Irelynn crawled out on the back porch while her sisters were outside playing.

Maggie's 1st Birthday Party

Irelynn got invited to her first birthday party without her big sisters. Cassidy and Jordan were at school. Rebecca (Maggie's Mom) had a little party for her at Little Gym. Irelynn loved every minute of it. She loved the little bit of cupcake I gave her. They grow up so fast. Happy Birthday Maggie!!

our house

On the way home from camping we decided to go by the new house. We were told by Dee that the siding had been put up. I have to say I love the dark brown color. I am hoping it will look good with the brick we picked.

Easter Weekend at Jellystone

We headed up to Jellystone to go camping for the weekend. We left around 10:30am Friday morning and got to camp around 12:00pm. The girls were very excited. We were meeting several other people there and they wanted to know when their friends were going to get there. Soon after setting up tent Bill and the girls and friends Marcus and Colin went swimming. I hung back at the tent with Irelynn. They didn't last in the water long. Although heated the kids were miserable cold when they got out of the water. Friday night everyone got together for hamburgers and hotdogs. A movie showed on the big screen once it was dark and soon afterwards everyone was ready to sleep. Sat. morning the girls did the Pledge of Allegience with Yogi and then there was a very poorly organized egg hunt. Lots of upset little kids. Cassidy and Jordan only got one egg each. The staff realized how poor it was and put on another egg hunt. This time they couldn't have fit one more in their bunny buckets. Then everyone got together again for a steak dinner. Yum Yum. We then had a final egg hunt just for our group. The kids had a blast. Sat. night we spent time packing up a lot of stuff because the weather was suppose to be bad (forcast of hail and tornados). When we got up it was yucky outside but only some rain showers. We packed up the rest of our stuff and headed home.
