Andrew's First Birthday

Today we celebrated Andrew's first birthday. He actually turned 1 on Dec. 8th, but we got everyone together for his party. He had a good time with the cake, and enjoyed the attention while opening his presents. He was a good sport and really showed how wonderful a child he can be.

Joshua's Third Birthday

On November 7th, Joshua turned 3! He is really becoming our big boy. He had a special breakfast and watched some Jay Jay. He opened a present from Sarah and I that morning. It was a soccer ball he could share with his friends when they came over for his birthday. It was a beautiful day and he and his friends had a great time outside, playing pin the rocket on the moon and playing on the swingset that Sarah and I got set up. They came inside and had rocket ships! Sarah and covered twinkies in icing and put ice cream inside sugar cones and put them together to make the rockets. Each friend had one of their own. Then, Joshua opened the many presents his friends brought him. All had a good time.

That evening, Grammy, Poppy, and Aunt Ruthie came down to visit. We had more cake and ice cream and Joshua got even more presents. See the pictures below.

Joshua's tire swing was too low, so I moved it up a bit. Sarah kept telling me not to fall. Like I didn't know that! 

Timberlake Wildlife

Sarah took this picture back on 9/14. The deer spend a lot of time in the field behind our house, but this is the closest they had come since we've been here. They probably won't come this close again once we have our fence put up. You can see the rails at the back of the picture. We have thought about attracting them with a feeder or salt lick, but we need to do a little research first. We want to know what we are getting ourselves into. 

"Buster" busts his noggin'

Andrew decided to pull a TV tray over on himself. He's been pulling up on everything recently.

Still, he is our usual easy-going boy. Having fun again not long after.

Here's a picture of our new house, in case we hadn't shown everyone yet. 

We didn't have a fence up at our new place, so Poppy came down and helped me put in the fence from our old house. We started off a little bit slow, but soon, we were rolling along.

Here's us working on anchoring one end of the fence. Once we did that, it made things go a lot quicker.

To dig the holes, we had borrowed this tractor from Sarah's Uncle Tommy. It had a 12" auger on the back. Dug 3' deep holes in just a few minutes. 

Welcome to our blog!

We have really been changing a lot recently. We have a new home in Edmond, OK that has been keeping us really busy. With all of the people we are trying to keep in touch with, I decided this might be a good medium. Feel free to drop by and comment. We'll post pictures and what not as we can.
