The first few days......

Here are a few more pictures of our first few days in Texas!


 One last picture at the airport in Fresno! 


Before the moving truck arrived with all our stuff we 'Camped' in our new house. We had Air Matresses and blankets and pillows and a TV. We also kept the essentials in the mini fridge upstairs until our Fridge was delivered. When we arrived there was snow and ice every where and it was COLD! The plan was for our fridge to be delivered on Friday, but due to the snow they cancelled the delivery for a couple days! It was crazy.



Steve and Noah tucked in together - it was so cute!


 Tater crashed!



 The day my car arrived it was another 'Snow Day' and we watched the guy unload the car!



Back to Frestucky....

Well not Literally, but I just downloaded all my pictures so here are a few of the highlights before we left!

 Noah Looking Daper in his suit and of course we must mention the mullet!

 I just thought this picture of Noah and Nana was cute!

 Ty and His Buddy Dax

 Brooklynn and one of her BFF's Taylie (We miss you Taylie)

 Brooklynn and Duncan (She had a crush on him when she was 3). Jamie and I totally made them take a picture together - they were mostly just embarassed!

 Tater and Teacher Ashely.  He loved going to preschool at Miss Ashley's and misses her and all his friends!

 I love this picture of Josh and Carter and Nash.  This picture just says it all!

 Brookie and Mrs. Vogt

 Ty saying goodbye to Mrs. Saunders!

 A last picture in front of the school!  Sad! 

 Brookie and Grace - These two are so cute!

 Trev and Ty - These two were totally Best Friends. Not only does Ty miss Trev, but I do too.  He always had a smile on his face and is the best kid!

 One last picture in front of our house.  It was harder to say goodbye to this little place than I thought!  6 years and the addition of two babies made for a pile of great memories!  I took a picture of Ty and Brooks in front of the house (although on the driveway) the year we moved in.  So I had to have one of my four kiddos before we left!

 Me and my boy!  I love this kid.

On The Other End!

We are slowly settling into our new house and new routine.  I mean really slowly.  We arrived last Thursday to some of the worst weather Texas has seen in a long time.  The roads were wicked icy, the parking lots were literally sheets of ice (I mean for reals) and a huge over night Snow Storm was predicted.  I doubted it would snow, I really doubted it, but I was WRONG.  We woke up to a winter wonderland.  It was beautiful, but watching the news in the morning had both Steve and I giggling.  People here just don't know how to deal with snow - they even talked about pumping your brakes on the news.  Being from the North it was super commical.  EvERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING shuts down in the snow. 

Of course the SNOW was not going to stop us, no chance, we had a house to get to.  We clearned out of the hotel and headed for our new digs.  It was so awesome to see the kids so excited about our new place.  We are excited too!  We spent the weekend sleeping on  Air Matresses and running upstairs to the small fridge at the wet bar for Milk, but we survived (Barely).

Yesterday all our boxes and furniture arrived - and I am now in the midst of mess and unpacking, but I am so grateful to be here.  I am also grateful  that Josh enjoyed his new preschool and Brooklynn and Tyler enjoyed their first day of school today.  Brooklynn came home and said, "Mom it didn't feel like my first day at a new school at all!"  Although how can you not start off well, when you arrive at your new classroom the kids cheer for you!
