We have a place to live!

Well...after much thought and deliberation we have found a place to live. We will be moving into my dad's house. My dad and gale moved back to Texas and still have not sold their house here in Huntsville. It's much bigger and a little further out than what we're used to but it's approximately 1mile from my mom's house and we can rent! We knew we didn't want to buy because we want all of our options to be open. Overall, this is the best thing for us right now. We are so excited to have made a decision! We will be moving in the very end of Sept/beginning of October. Here it is:

Summer Weddings

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Santa Monica/Malibu, California. Michael's cousin got married and it was beautiful. We were so thankful that we were able to go. It was a great time with family eventhough, we left Addison at home with her Mimi. Next month we will be heading to Portland, OR for my cousin Mandy's wedding. Addison will be spending that weekend with her other Mimi. Two trips to the west coast for weddings in one summer is a little crazy but we are trying to take advantage of these trips for some adult time. Here are few pics of the California wedding. I have so many but I won't bore you with all of them.

Monkey See Monkey Do!

A few weeks ago when we were moving out of our old house in Birmingham I found Addison in the kitchen with the "infamous" dust buster. Addison has had a love/hate relationship with the dust buster. I use this thing numerous times a day and love it.

She was pushing it around the kitchen making a vroom vroom sound. She was loving it that day. It was so cute!

We're Moving!!!

So much has been going since my last post. The most blog worthy would be that we are moving to Huntsville .... next week! The Lord has provided us with a buyer for our home (we close on Tuesday) and we are incredible thankful for His provision. The reason for the move is ..... Michael's job/territory changed at the beginning of this year. For those of you who don't know what Michael does, he's in medical device sales and has a large territory of northwest Alalabama. He used to have Birmingham but the territories changed in January due to the economy. He now has all of north Alabama but no longer Birmingham which posed an interesting predicament for us. His company hasn't required us to move but it would definitely be better for Michael if we lived in his territory. It would cut down on his driving considerably and we would see him a lot more, which is what we want! :) So we decided it would best to live in Huntsville right smack dab in the middle of the territory. So, we are going to stay with my mom (she's lived in Huntsville for a few years) for awhile until we find a house and get to know the area better. I am incredibly sad to leave Birmingham but know it's the best for our family.

So with all of that being said. Here are a few pics of the last few weeks....

Happy Easter! (a day late)

I have so enjoyed looking at all the easter pics of all you bloggers out there. What beautiful families on such a beautiful day! We had a great Easter as well. After church at Briarwood we headed down to Montgomery for the day to spend with family. It was loads of fun and Addison had a great time too. Addison's first egg hunt. :)

Beautiful Weather!


This past Saturday we went to the park and had so much fun. After a few miles on the trails we decided to head back to the "kiddie zone" and let Addison practice her walking skills. She was a little unsure of the uneven terrain. Nonetheless, we took some cute pics.


trying some of my pushup pop (the icecream truck came just when we got there....perfect timing)


the icecream was a little cold
