Moving, Birthday and too many leaves!

Things have been busy at our house! Ty and I both had birthdays and then we spent the weekend moving (that is the reason for the delay of posting). We are in a different apartment in our same complex, but a three bedroom now with some more room. We lost some great neighbors but hopefully they will come back and visit lots!

Here's our birthday wishes!
Ty has been wanting a bike since riding his friend Mason's. We got this one from a garage sale, painted it and put some 'cool' stickers on it. Kev added training wheels and we were going to lower the seat and handle bars to size. BUT- the seat post happened to be bent and was down as far as it could go. So poor little Ty couldn't even reach the pedals. We headed to the store to see about fixing it and came home with this....

Something a little more his size. The other bike will get stashed until he can ride it and by then, Jordo should be ready for this one. It was a good idea, but who could have known our troubles?

Happy Birthday Ty! I can't believe you are four, but we have loved every minute of you!

And for my birthday, Kev and I are going to the Face to Face tour with Billy Joel and Elton John! I am so excited. These are two of my favorite artists and I've heard the concert is awesome. There will be a follow up post.




We had lots of fun with the leaves this year. The two huge trees in our front yard produce way more than enough for a good jumping pile. Well, we had fun until it was raking and bagging time to beat the snow. What you can't see in the last picture are all the other huge piles. We raked and raked and raked some more and then when all was said and done Kev counted 27 bags! What a joke! Now if the rest of the leaves would just stay on the trees.

hey, where is the prego shot? I want to see it before that little girl comes out! So you moved; a whole 10 feet! How nice was that? I'm glad you have more space. I'll be excited to see it next time I come...and to meet your baby girl!

Lots of BIG goings on at your house! Happy Birthday to you both - we love you! Cute leaf jumping pictures - isn't fall wonderful? (especially when you are a kid and get to jump in the leaves instead of raking them)

I wish I had awsome trees to enjoy... even if it ment millions of bags of leaves. (I love the motion picture shots... I sure miss jumping into leaves myself!)
I am so glad you have more bedrooms now... I am sure that is a relief!
and p.s. -Happy birthday!
