Fiesta Fun






Friday we ventured off to Fiesta Texas also known as Moesta Texas by Cole. We had a great time. We have been lucky that we haven't had to try to go by ourselves Jason has been able to go with us. The kids love it. Maddie loves the rides and gets frustrated that she can't go on the big ones as well. You will see Cole is happy just riding the train and doing rides that are just his size. Ellie is always such a trooper hanging in the stroller and relaxing. Jason and I had fun as well. Jason decided that he was going to try some of the rides out because it wasn't crowded we had a good time.

What a Great Weekend



We had such a good weekend with lots of fun. Maddie was able to go with a friend to Go Diego Go. Live. She thought it was so much fun and couldn't stop talking about the cool river.(no idea what she's talking about) She was able to go with the little girl across the street and her mom. She was nice and brought her brother back a baby jaguar mask.He thought that was great. Cole is also starting to potty train although we have to remind him that he only needs to wear one pair of underware that his head does not need them. Jason and I were able to go on a date last night with two other couples,so we thought we would venture to Sea World and it was a ton of fun. We went on some great roller coasters and water slides. I told Jason I felt like a little kid because I kept laughing on all the rides it was great. We had a great weekend

Ellie is five months




I can't believe it our little Ellie is five months. I can't believe how time has flown and how fast she is growing. Her new thing is,is to roll over and then get stuck so she decides she needs to scream to let us all know she needs a helping hand. She is so much fun and still as happy as ever except for when she gets stuck. Ellie has also given baby food a shot and is a big fan of sweet potatoes. We love her she is great.

Just a quick side note I have been asked who took our family picture. His name is Scott Heffernan and he was great. We really liked him and he did a great job. He is going to be coming out with a website soon so you will have to check him out. www.scottheffernanphotography.com. Just thought i would let everybody know.

Cole is one funny kid




We are currently experiencing something new and exciting with Cole. He has decided that he is just too big for naps,and has decided to go without. So now we are experiencing him falling a sleep at the dinner table but manages somehow to finish his meal. I tell you what this kid is too funny. Maddie thinks he is funny and Ellie well she is just happy to hang out. Things are going well and we are loving Jason's rotation now because we have been able to have him around so much. We have enjoyed some playgroups and the chance to continue to meet new people. Today Maddie and Cole decided to paint each others faces with a yellow marker. Maddie painted Cole's face like spider man and Cole had started to paint Maddie up as a butterfly, but that's when we spoiled the fun. Click on the picture to see a close up of their work.

This week was our first week with out having Jason around all day because he started work. His first rotation is a good one it is PM&R which is helping people with rehabilitation. He works mainly with prosthetics. It is a good rotation because he doesn't have to leave too early and he gets home to eat dinner with us. Maddie finished swimming lessons this week and did well. She has learned to dive and is filling pretty good about swimming. Cole, Ellie and I enjoyed going, it got us out of the house and we enjoyed watching her. This last week was the fourth of July and we had a barbecue with two other families, it was fun. Although I will say it was different then having it back in Ohio because the yards here aren't quit as big. After that we went and watched the six flags fire works in a mall parking lot that is right by six flags. We had a good time. I have joined a group of fellow residents wives and think it will give me a good opportunity to meet others in my situation. Well we love and miss you all. Talk to you later

Hello everyone. I thought i would start a blog since everyone knows how good I am about emailing. We have been in Texas now for three weeks rnd things are going pretty well. We have been able to go to Sea world and Fiesta Texas which is six flags and had a good time at both. Jason decided to get season passes to both so we will see how brave I am to take the kids by myself. We had the opportunity to meet Jason's fellow co-workers and their families this last weekend and everyone seems really nice. Maddie has made friends with everyone in the neighborhood and Cole is the social butterfly as well. Maddie is taking swim lessons and liking them alot. Cole gets to go swimming while she is taking her lessons but is to young yet to participate. He is getting braver and really enjoys Texas. Ellie is doing great and is so much fun to have around. I am doing my best to get adjusted and think I am going to likeit here.
