Moving on Up!

We're moving on up... (please sing to the tune of "The Jeffersons")! Okay, so I should say we're moving on OUT! Our house is officially sold and under contract, yippee!

Chris and I have begun the daunting task of packing up the home we have lived in for 9 whole years! We've started with the kitchen and I must admit, so far it's kinda fun. We are throwing out all kinds of stuff we never should have kept in the first place, and reorganizing things that will be moved into the new house! Chris is just happy that I have found a few items worthy of moving to the new place, Ha! This is what Abby was doing in the meantime! My mom always said that my sisters and I would have more fun with the boxes that toys came in rather than the toys themselves, and I think this picture proves her right!

Here is a picture that I took yesterday before church! The boys are very excited about the move and have TONS of questions regarding things that stay and things that don't! It's cute really and hey, they have NEVER moved before! Did I mention we have been here for 9 years! Abby walked straight up to this sign today and pointed at the picture of Pawpaw on it and said Hu? She couldn't figure out what his picture was doing on the sign!

We'll keep ya posted with our progress! Thank you God for blessing us with this move and our future home.

First Day of School

I can't believe the day has finally arrived! Both Swindell boys now attend Heritage Elementary School. Here are a few pictures from our morning. Sorry they are a bit out of order!

Here is Tanner walking to his classroom. He has now officially become embarrassed by his parents. Yes, it's true. I'd hoped this day would never come but when I asked him to sit at his desk and smile for one quick pic, you'd of thought I had just given him a huge kiss on the forehead (which I did not do, despite every bone in my body wanting too)!

Me and Keaton in his classroom! I must be honest and say he was the cutest 5 year old Kinder gardener in the whole class! He wasn't nervous one bit, I on the other hand kinda was! Before Chris and I left, we checked in on him one more time, and he had already made LOTS of friends. He's my little social butterfly!

Four of the most precious people in my life. Thank you God for each one of them!

Okay, so I know some of you are thinking that I need to stop dressing the boys alike, and I would probably agree, but I would like to point out that the boys shorts are different colors, shirts different color schemes, shoes very different, and that Keaton is wearing a colored undershirt and Tanner is not! Really, this part of the post is directed entirely to my older sister, Missy, who always gives me a hard time about the boys matching outfits. Love ya' sis!!!

Ride, Keaton, Ride!

Keaton has been asking for several days if he could ride Tanner's bike! I know that we are probably behind in the world of bikes, and that lots of kids Keaton's age already have their training wheels removed, but hey, we beat to a different drum! He is doing so great and wants to go so fast that sometimes he loses control. Watch out neighbors. I'm sure if he was writing this he would say that he wants to ride "as fast as Lightening McQueen!

Can't you just tell from his face how much he loves riding his bike. We are DEFINITELY going to let him ride more often.

Here's a behind shot of him right before he takes off and causes daddy to run after him full speed. Thanks for taking one for the team daddy!

Here's two of the three precious boys in my life! Tanner was tired from a long day and decided he did not want to ride his bike this night and hey, that's okay! Maybe next time I post about bikes, Keaton's training wheels will be off. Here's hoping anyway...

Abby and I had a beauty shop day today. After giving her her morning bath, I decided to blow dry her hair for the first time. She loved it! Well, let's be honest, she loved sitting in the sink, playing with my toothbrush, while I dried her hair. Cute hu?

After her morning nap, I decided to go even further with today beauty treatments and put her hair up in these adorable pigtails. I love how her hair shoots out of the top like little firecrackers.

Here is what her hair looked like right after I blew it dry! I still don't know how she got such beautiful hair. Us Davis women are NOT known for our full, thick locks! If you can't tell, I'm loving dressing up my little doll everyday!

Allstar Champ!

Last night Tanner had his end of season party with the Chargers! Pardon me for the lack of pictures of him playing basketball, but my yucky camera doesn't take good pictures inside where the games are played (hint to my husband, put new camera on Angie's "want list"! Anyway, he had a great time playing this season and learned ALOT. He wants to play winter ball in November, and be on Coach Jason's team again!

Tanner and Coach Jason! We really liked him as a coach. He was just the right balance of coach, teacher, and friend. The games got pretty intense at the end though... prelude of things to come, oh my!!! GO CHARGERS...

Tanner's party was at Pizza Garden. The players had a great time eating and laughing together. After everyone finished eating, Coach Jason gave every kid their trophy and a brand new basketball signed by every player on the team.

Tutu Cute!

My Aunt Missy gave me this adorable pink ballerina tutu for my birthday and I can finally fit into it! My mommy dressed me up yesterday and then we danced around the kitchen together. Aren't I the cutest princess you've ever seen?

My little MVP

Look what I can do mom!

Keaton plus his 2 biggest fans!

Team photo, Go Longhorns!

Keaton has successfully completed another baseball season. This year his team was called the Longhorns, come on people, doesn't the YMCA know that we are Aggies? Anyway, he learned alot this year and had a blast doing it. Here are a few pictures from his end of season party!
