Updates, Updates, Updates

So here we go...we have had a lot going on in our world. We started moving back into the house this past Thursday. It has been a busy weekend! Nana came to help us out and without her we would not be where we are right now. She and Jonathan stayed up late unpacking two nights in a row. I am proud to say I even stayed up until midnight one night! We got a lot done and the house really looks nice. Below are some pics from the house. You can see first this pic of Cantley helping Jonathan carry out the trash. She has been a trooper through yet another move and more changes in her little world. We are all glad to be home! And we are glad to have A.J.home as well. At the very bottom you will find video of Cantley skipping. We are really proud of her new skills.

Cantley's new big girl room!

The cowgirl on her way to the party. She had to pose. It's her "new" thing. Then she has to see.

This is Cantley before her latest dentist appt. She wanted to take her picture with this for Kason to see.

And last but not least-our newest news and addition to our family. This is from our first dr. appt. We are all very excited, especially Cantley. We will add to our family in June.

A skipping we will, a skipping we will go...

New Floors

We feel like our house is really starting to come together. They still have a few things left to finish on the punch list, but once the floors get down they will get that list completed. Next week all the different cleanings will start, carpet will get laid, and we will officially start moving back in on Thursday afternoon. Here are a few pictures of the floor after it was partially laid today.

The "real" house

We are almost home! We are supposed to be moving back in the house in two weeks. Everything is scheduled to happen on time right now so we are holding out hope it will. Here are some pictures of our new shower and our new closet. When I open the double doors to the closet I will immediately see SHOES!!!! I can't wait to get settled back in. I will try to get more pictures in the coming weeks of the rest of the house. I have also included a picture of Cantley's new very green room!

Pumpkin Patch

Cantley and I went to Benton this weekend to stay with Aunt Sister, Uncle Mike, and Jackson. We took the kids for a great time at a pumpkin patch. They had pig races, petting zoo, pumpkin patch and hay rides. Here are a few pictures from our fun time!

Flower Girl

This weekend, Jeremy and Lindsey got married. It turned out to be a beautiful ceremony and a great time with our family. Cantley did a wonderful job as flower girl. She walked down the isle with a huge smile on her face and dropped her petals perfectly. After they straightened Lindsey's train, a few peddles flipped up on her dress. Cantley walked down and picked them off the dress. She then walked over to us and asked if she could go sit with her cousin Nolan. We did get her to walk out of the church with the ring bearers. She then danced the night away at the reception along with the bride. I will add more pics in a few days. I got some cute pics of Kason and other pics from the wedding. We are so happy for Jeremy and Lindsey and wish them much happiness! Congrats to Katrina on another baby boy coming in February!!!!!

Friends

Cantley has been very blessed through her days at Memaw's. She has grown up with 2 little brothers. The one on the right has been "her" baby since he came. I got this sweet picture of the three Memaw musketeers today and love how it turned out. They range in age from almost 4-Cantley, to just turned 2-Brayden. We are thankful both of these guys are Cantley's friends.

Our New House

It's not what you think. Cantley got a new playhouse. It will be moved by next week into our backyard. She is already in love with it and it's still empty. It is two story and has all electrical outlets, lights, and an a/c and heat unit. We have some painting to do, but we will make it all hers. She insisted in posing in the pictures. She would run upstairs, pose, run back down to see the picture, and start all over again. We are excited for her and hope she can understand the concept of "this is for Christmas, birthday, and anything else for a long time!!!!" b/c Christmas will be slim for her otherwise at our house! It should be fun for us all-we can fully stand up on both stories. We will have fun!

Fair Parade

Well, some of these posts are late, but I will try to get several tonight. These are some pics from the day we went to the fair parade. It was a beautiful day out and I got some neat shots of the courthouse. Half of it is in AR and the other half in TX. The federal courtrooms inside are divided by states only by a single wall. Very cool! Anyway, the rest are of Cantley at the parade. I even got one of a guy riding a bike with a real steering wheel and a portable DVD player on the handle bars. We got a big kick out of that!
