OK ~ so I very shamefully haven't posted anything in quite some time! For those that don't know, I have a new job working for a real estate agent. I am so excited about this opportunity and LOVE the work ~ but it keeps me very busy (since I do almost all of it from home!!!). Excuses, excuses ~ I know!!
The past couple weeks have been crammed with all sorts of fun things ~ so I will start from Judah's birthday (ofcourse he has to come first) and then go back a bit!
Our "little man" turned one year's old on Friday ~ we can't believe how fast the time has gone. He still seems like such a
babe in our eyes, but he trys to remind us each day that he is a BIG boy (he walks/runs, chats up a storm, claps for himself, brings me lots of books to read, climbs any
stairs he can manage before I catch him, etc...)! We threw him a BIG birthday bash Saturday night over at NeNe Heather & Uncle David's home. Besides 10 minutes of rain ~ the night was perfect. And the biggest hit of the night for all the kiddos (and there were tons of them!) was the bouncy house, even daddy & mommy got in for their own turns! Judah's biggest hit of the night was his many 
rides on the 4-wheeler, he is hooked!!!! Literally would scream when the ride was done ~ looks like he will be spending plenty of time w/ Uncle David out in the woods some day!
Memorial Day weekend was filled with lots of fun activities! We went Friday night to the St. Anslem's fair w/ Brett & Jen (and kids too) ~ and Selah shocked us all. Her 
fear of rides has disappeared ~ she 
wanted to go on EVERY 
ride. But as you will see from the picture below, she passed her fear right onto her little brother! Don't worry, it just took him a bit to get over the fear of the huge lurching beast (ferris wheel)!!!

Our next round of activities was the Blossom Time parade w/ Nana & Papa on Sunday. It was a crazy long parade which Selah thought was all about the candy! Gotta love Chagrin for putting on the best of the best ~ the kids loved dancing to the music! 
Then came the end of Memorial Day with our traditional Austin gathering. The day was filled w/ croquet matches for all the men (just doesn't sound very manly, does it???), slip-n-slide rounds for the kiddos, and sled rides on the 4-wheelers. That is where Judah discovered his love for the vrmmmm, vrmmmm as he calls it!
And last but certainly not least was our weekend before all those activities ~ with Chip & Audz. The kiddos loved their special time w/ you, especially at the zoo ~ what troopers you are. We are treasuring up all our time w/ you to last until the next time. Thank you for making such great efforts to come visit us in the midst of your big move to Portland. We love ya! I would post all the pictures ~ except I need Derek to come home and see why they are on Picasa but I can't upload them. Rhhhh, computers. Will get them on here soon!!!!
