The destruction continues...

Kitchen is almost complete demolished or as Rylan says "Daddy is tearing up the house."  

Let the demo begin!!

The dumpster has arrived! So now the true demo can begin. 

First bathroom to go

Kitchen appliances are out and the cabinets are next in the list to go.

Jimmy Pockets - 35 Weeks

 

There he is!! No he does not have a name yet and if he did we are not telling anyway.

 

Rylan wants to name his brother Jimmy Pockets. We have no idea where he came up with that name. He told everyone even the doctor that was the name. I am afraid that he is going to be so disappointed when we don't name the baby Jimmy Pockets or that the nickname might actually stick! Although Rylan hates nicknames so maybe he won't stick with it for the baby.

 

I am hesitant to even write this blog because I went back and looked at some of the post just before Rylan arrived and I don't want to jinx anything. I am just amazed at how well this pregnancy has gone; don't get me wrong it has not been a walk in the park but overall good. 35 weeks and still going smooth. We go back to the doctor next week for another sonogram and check up. We still can't believe it that I could carry a baby for a second time and much less this long!!

Summer 2015

The past year has been a whirlwind and I have not made time to blog much! I plan to get back into blogging because we have so many great things in the works.

There must be something about the summer heat that makes Jordon and I take on major decisions. We got married July 23, 2015, bought our first car together July 2006, August 2008 we bought our house in Lubbock, August 2011 I graduated with my master's degree and found out we were expecting Rylan, July 2013 we bought our second vehicle together, and last summer we decided to move to sell our house, move to Comanche and both start new jobs. I probably missed some things in that list but those are the majors ones.

Summer 2015 is no exception; we just bought our dream home and will undergo a renovation on it and baby boy #2 will arrive in late August!

Here are some pictures of the house and land. We are so excited to start demo and putting it back together. One of my first trips home with Jordon, he told me if he could live anywhere in Comanche it would be in this house on the hill even though he had never seen the inside of the house. It is a great accomplishment to make this a reality for us and our family. Now just can't wait to get in there but first a lot of renovations :).

I need to take some more recent pictures since the grass is green and there has been a little clean up inside the house. I will take pictures as I can once the handyman (Jordon) starts demo.

July and August 2014

I am way behind in blogging and I just found this draft that I started who knows when. Well a lot happened in July and August. We went on vacation, then decided to move, sell our house I in Lubbock, started new jobs, and find somewhere to live in Comanche. 

Here are a few pics of moving and our first couple of weeks in Comanche. We are mostly settled in now so I will try to blog more often. I have tons of pictures from Christmas so maybe I will get to those. I will post pictures from Rylan's 3rd birthday.

Dove Season 2014

Rylan's first trip hunting with us was on day 2 of dove season. He had so much fun. First throwing rocks then he got into the birds. 

Here is my answer to anyone who asked why we moved: this view. 

Mountain Adventures

Here is a look at our vacation to NM. It was a long drive but worth it. I love this area and was happy to share it with my sweeties. My family spent a lot of time there as we were growing up so this trip brought back many great memories.

These are some pictures from our phones. I have many more on by camera that I hope to get downloaded soon.
