Oh, and we've moved...again!!! What's new? :)
Brock's family flew in on the 3rd at about midnight. The next morning we packed, packed, packed and with the help of a ton of people we moved to our new home (renting) in Sabinal were Brock has gotten a coaching and teaching job. The town is only 20 minutes from where we were so it wasn't a terrible move. And we could not have done it without the help of Brock's family and all of our ward friends in Uvalde! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
We spent the first couple of days just cleaning and unpacking. Thanks for your help Bowens! Then we finally got to go have some fun! Here are pictures from our trip to the Alamo and the River Walk.
All of us in front of the Alamo
Uncle Brandon carried Tyce a good chunk of the day
(And Tyce is not a "little" boy) Good thing Brandon's so strong
We stopped to look at the pretty fish
It didn't take long for Luke to fall asleep

River Walk time! The kids were looking at some super cute ducklings right here.
Tyce found a crayon on the river walk and gave it to Luke for safe keeping (yes, he's still asleep).
I just had to post this pic bcz it shows how hard it is to get pics of my children.
They will not hold still for anything!
Tyce stopped for one second!
Back at home...
The kids had so much fun every day playing outside on our new "playground" with Grandma, Grandpa, and Brandon.

Here is a pretty good shot of our playground. We love it!
It has 3 swings, a tire swing, a slide, and monkey bars.
Ah yes, how could I forget the chickens? We now own chickens because our landlord has a chicken coop in the backyard, and they said we could keep the chickens! We have 3 hens and a rooster. The children have affectionately named them Boastus (rooster), Avery (take it as a compliment cousin, Brek names everything Avery), Octo, and Ado. Amazingly, the names have stuck.
The kids didn't quite know what to do with chickens. They are terrified of just about all animals. At first, they would just sit back and clap at them. Then, they would try to follow them around. After about a week, they were chasing them around the yard and throwing things at them! And we were so surprised when we didn't get any eggs for forever! :) Boastus has started trying to attack Luke when he comes outside and even tried to get me a couple of times. The kids now leave them alone and we've been getting 2-3 eggs every day!

Here's our little chicken coop/pen
While Brock's family was here, Brandon would go to camp with Brock in the mornings and work out with him then he would come home and play with the kids all afternoon. I was amazed! What a great Uncle! And of course the kids got lots of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa. Here is their fun in the pool...

And the kids loved reading with their grandparents!
My children (and Brock and I) got really spoiled having Grandma, Grandpa, and Brandon around! It was so much fun and we miss them already!
