A little superbowl party

Anna girl loving time with the ladies at the Super Bowl party. 

well because all the guys were pretty distracted.  

And Sunday night we had our first community group in our new home.  

It's MOVE IN time

Closing on our first house in 9 years felt a little surreal.......Mrs. Joan has just been a delight and helped us tremendously along the way.  

a wonderfully texan paining in the room we signed papers in.  

Driving up to our house for the first time that it was ours was a great and scary feeling. 

And packing up all our stuff proved to be quick but exhausting. 

The sprinkler system is something new for these kiddos. 

And our first meal on the floor in our new home had to be documented even if it was PBandJ sandwiches. 

My sweet parents send a welcome basket. 

And I hung my wind chime and painted my screen.  

putting the No. on the mailbox.   All these things and its starting to feel like home.  

Until the smoke detectors went off all night the 3rd night.  

Good thing they replaced them. 

And Anna stole the flowers from Grana and had to have them in her room. 

We love front porch sitting.  

And the boys got to break out their telescope with Daddy and look at the moon.  

It's still Cold

This is my view as I was trying to be good and get up and go exercise.

but I had to wait for my windshield to thaw.

And here is my brave boys' face after a football tackle in the frozen grass, later that day.

We visited Target, my favorite place, and Anna found friends. 

My Noah has found such a love for reading,  It make me so happy. 

And this girl thinks that she is so big.....wanting to put makeup on with Momma.

The walk through at our house.  I am so ready to be in this house.......finally.

Here is Tex Randall at Dusk.

Sunday mornings in the College ministry look something like this. 

And sunday afternoon naps look a lot like this. 

This is the scene at lunch time before Daddy walks over from work.  This little (BIG) girl waits and watches.

 I stole away a little time with my boy after a dentist appointment.  

Girls Day

One Saturday morning, we all met up and and my sweet husband kept the kiddos.  I am sure they had big plans without Momma. 

This was one of my favorite places by far in Amarillo.  Fantastic breakfast.  

And of course to top off all the time together we had to go Antique shopping. 

And we did a little dressing up too. 

These are some of my favorite sites from shopping. 

And above was the piece that got away...... I loved this oak mantle shelf but it wasn't long enough for what I needed.  

And meanwhile at home I made my first projects with my silhouette and heat press.  

And to end the weekend we had the college students over and had a fruitful bible study.

Climbing in the Canyon

Every now and then we need to get away and head outside.   I am sure thankful to have a place not far where we can jump in the car and go.  

Love this little girls' profile.  

We picked a picnic place with a great climb tree too.  

And tried not to let our food blow away with the gusts of wind.
