Pics of the house!

Here are some quick pictures I took of the house today. It is all starting to come together and look really nice. We still have some boxes to unpack and small things to do around here, but for the most part everything is going really well. Enjoy the pics!

We're all moved in!

Well, we finally got all moved in to our new house. We've already unpacked most of our things and just have a couple of rooms left. Thankfully my mom was able to stay with us for the first several days and helped us unpack a ton of stuff! We are all loving our new house and can't wait for everyone to come and visit us. Last night we had Jacob's brothers and our neighbors over for fajitas and played rockband. That game is so much fun! I'll be taking some pictures soon of the house and posting them. Take care!

Summer Lovin'!

So, this is gonna be a quick post. We're about to leave this afternoon to head to Waco to move. We'll be packing up the u-haul tonight and tomorrow and making our way to Sugar Land tomorrow afternoon! Woo-hoo, we are sooooo ready to be in our new house!!

For a quick re-cap:
Last weekend was great! On Friday night we had Andrea and Gonzalo over for dinner because they were in town from Georgia. It was so great to see them and hang out like we used to. I made some yummy enchiladas and Andrea brought over the best ice cream ever - Blue Bell's chocolate covered strawberries with vanilla. My 2 favorite things ever, how could you go wrong?! Then, on Saturday we had a bbq at Jacob's house with Jacob's brother and his family. We then made a big bon fire and made s'mores. They were so delicious! Jayda's cousins Cole and Caitlyn got to stay that night and we had a big slumber party. So fun! Sunday, we drove out to my parents farm in Waller and played out there for the day. We took Jayda's inflatable pool and she went swimming. That girl loves the water!

So then, on wednesday morning we closed on our house!! We are now officially first-time-homeowners! It's so great and really makes you feel grown up! We are super excited about moving in tomorrow!

Next, on Thursday night we went to Brandy's (Jacob's brother's girlfriend) birthday party at Howl at the Moon in Houston. Jacob and I had never been to a piano bar before so it was really fun. Jacob's dad got pulled up on stage and then made Jacob come up there with him to dance. It was pretty hilarious! I was just glad I didn't have to go up!

Then today my dad and I took Jayda up to the newly re-done nautilus pool. She loved the pool again and this time we had a little boat for her to ride around in. She thought that was the coolest thing! I can't wait to go to the pool all summer with her!

I think that's about all for now. There may not be any posts for a while since we're about to move, but I will try my best! Have a happy weekend!

First Astro's Game!

Last weekend we got everything packed up at our duplex. Thank goodness we finally finished that ginormous task!! I really don't think there is anything worse than moving! Anyways, we couldn't move into our new house until the end of the month because that's the earliest the sellers could move out. So, we're now staying in Huntsville because Jacob started his barbri review class this week and it's in Houston. It's been so nice being here this week. We've been able to hang out with lots of our friends and family. We're so excited about being closer to everyone!

Last night we went to our first Astro's game of the season, and Jayda's first Astro's game ever. We had a lot of fun and Jayda had a blast. She loves watching everything that's going on around her. She kept wanting to touch everyone's soda bottles or peanuts or anything that looked intersting to her. We went and checked out the kids zone, but she was a bit small for that. Pretty soon she'll be able to go and play in all those fun tunnels.

All 3 of us at the game.


This was last sunday before church. She can not keep any type of shoe on!


Or bow for that matter. What am I going to do with a little girl that I can't accessorize??!!

Packing, Packing, and MORE Packing!!

Jacob and I have been packing up our place all week long. We are both so tired of packing! I hate moving!! Thankfully Jacob's parents are coming to stay with us this weekend to watch Jayda so that we can solely focus on packing. We are trying to have everything packed up by Sunday so that when we come back to move on the 31st it will all be ready to go. Hopefully we get it all finished!

Last weekend we had a great Mother's Day. On Saturday we went down to Sugar Land to see our house. We needed to check on a couple of things and it was great to go back and see it since we'd only seen it once in person for about 10 minutes! My parents and Jacob's parents also came down with us so they got to see the house for the first time. Afterwards we went to Texas Land and Cattle and had a great dinner. We can't wait to move in and make it our own little home. We are set to close May 28th and move in the 31st! Yay! On Sunday we had a nice relaxing day. Jacob, my mom, Jayda and I went on a long walk to the duck pond in Huntsville and all through the university. It was such a pretty day. We then let Jayda play in her new pool, which she loves and then had a bbq at Jacob's house that night. It was definitely a wonderful first Mother's Day for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

First trip to the ZOO!

Today Jacob and I took Jayda on her first trip to the zoo. She had a great time. She especially loved the big aquarium with all of the fish and the giraffes. She kept waving at them both. It was super cute! We can't wait to take her to the Houston Zoo once we move.

She was waving at the fish in the aquarium.


Pretty smile (notice the jaguar in the background).


Daddy and Jayda in the teepee.


She was also waving at the giraffe!


This meerkat was sooo cute! It started standing up when we went up to it!


Jayda says "Hooray" for the zoo!


Mommy and Jayda at the front of the zoo.


This wasn't at the zoo, but I wanted to put it up because you can really see her top 2 teeth.


Hope everyone has a great weekend and a happy Mother's Day!

Officially a law school graduate!

Well, Jacob finally graduated from law school on saturday! After 3 long, hard years of law school, he is now completely done! Yay!!!!!!! We had a great weekend. Most of our family came into town on Friday night and we had a pizza party at the hotel pool where our guests were staying.

Jayda swimming for the first time ever. She loved it!

Then, saturday was graduation. It was a very nice ceremony. We took cow bells and clappers and screamed very loudly for Jacob when he walked accross the stage. We were all so proud of him! Jayda of course slept through the entire graduation.

Jacob walking accross the stage, hooray!!!

So, after graduation we had big bbq party out at the Hewitt Park next to our house. We had tons of bbq and cookie cake, played volleyball and horseshoes and just really had a great time. Several of Jacob's good buddies from law school also came out to celebrate. We couldn't of asked for a better celebration!

Me and Jacob, yay!!


Jacob's cookie cake, yum!
