Update

Just wanted to do an update to bring our blog into 2011.

In November we drove to Mississippi to spend Thanksgiving with the Hagans.

The cousins had so much fun together!

In December we flew to Milwaukee to celebrate Christmas with the Hoover side of the family. It was an adventure flying with three small children (two lap children), but it was well worth it. We had a lot of snow, and Will and Connor were able to spend a lot of time outside. December was also a big month for Connor; he threw his paci away at grandma's house!In January we had our Annual Winter Revival. We enjoyed visiting with the Potters, our speaker and friends from college, and doing some sightseeing in Corpus. This is at the Lexington, an aircraft carrier and museum.

In February, we spent a lot of time at the pediatrician, and walking the floor at night with Jackson. He had horrible ear infections that didn't clear up until we tried three different antibiotics. Will and Connor have never had an ear infection, so it was a new experience for us. :(
Also in February, Jason celebrated his 30th birthday! The boys and I got him a Keurig, and he got lots of K-cups from our friends and family.
In March my family came down for a visit, and we celebrated Will's 5th and Connor's 2nd birthdays with a builder party, a very appropriate theme for this year since the church is in the process of building a new auditorium.
Will lost his first tooth and started taking piano lessons in March too! (Not sure what this crazy face was all about.)
I did not get a single family picture, not even of the boys, on Easter Sunday. :( Here is one of Connor during our egg hunt.
In April and May we had a lot of home renovation projects, and a flood in our kitchen.
We gutted our bathroom down to the studs, and put it back together, in just over a week. Super Craziness!!! (did I mention we did all the work ourselves, and we had no idea what we were doing? We watched a lot of you tube diy videos.)
BEFORE

AFTER
We put down wood laminate floor in our family room where we had to replace the carpet from the water damage.
We also had our second missions conference in May. We had some wonderful families in, and I think eight kids total, so we did some fun kid friendly activities in Corpus. I had pictures, but they got deleted off my phone. :/
AND . . .
After over two years, and several bad offers/contracts, our house finally sold!
At the beginning of June we moved into our new house. We completely packed, moved across town, and unpacked in less than 8 hours! Our church family is so amazing; I don't know what we would have done without them!
This is the boys room, the first night we moved in. I bought these curtains and rug at Ikea for their new room over two years ago, and I'm so thrilled that they are finally able to use them. :)
Lately we've just been enjoying Summer!
Birthday Parties,
Baseball Games,
and lots of time in the pool.
