HGTV

We had a busy day yesterday. I did a 5K first thing in the morning with my sister, Rachel. Thank goodness she was there! I am pretty sure I would not have finished if she had not been there with me. We both walked/jogged the course. I finished in 41 minutes. She finished in 43 minutes. It was definitely not our best time, but we are happy to have completed it!

Then we spent the day in McKinney with Jake. He was offered some overtime! They were shooting a couple of Meritage Homes for a TV show called Designer Showdown. He was in the cabinet shots. They got lots of shots of his Timberlake Logo on his sleeve. :) He said he got to talk a little bit. It will be on HGTV on September 5th at 9 pm. Hopefully I will remember so I can send everyone a reminder to tune in!

The boys and I found a local church with a shaded playground. That is where we spent part of the day while Jake was working. Our plan was to eat at the In-N-Out that just opened up in Allen. However, when we arrived for lunch, there were SO many cars waiting. People were parking across the street and walking two or three blocks just to eat there. The drive through line was longer than a football field. They even had parking attendants. It was as bad as a Rangers Baseball game. It's a great burger, but we didn't have three hours to spend waiting in line. So we found a MooYah burger close by and that satisfied us.

We met some friends for dinner at Cracker Barrel in Arlington to complete our day. I love Sundays! It's our day to spend together as a family!

Ethan's 5th Birthday Party

Ethan's Graduation

Ethan graduated from PreSchool on Tuesday, May 17th.
He got the award "Mr. Sign Language." His teacher said that she would have to watch Ethan to make sure she was in the right place. He kept her on track :)

Counting

We just got home from the store. On the drive home Ethan counted to 100, and he wants to tell daddy that 100 comes after 99. Then he counted by tens to 100. After that he decided to count backwards by tens. He loves reading the speed limit signs and tell me how fast (or slow) I should be driving. If there are two signs, he wants to know how much that makes. He knows that 50 and 50 make 100. And 45 and 45 make 90. How cute!

The boys have been playing Hide and Seek. It's really cute to watch Logan play. He covers his eyes, counts to ten, and says "Ready, here come."

Getting too old?

I went to the picnic celebration today for Ethan and Logan at the TLC. Ethan has just turned 5 and already ignores his parents when in public! When do they learn this?! Ethan would not wave to me as he ran by playing with his friends. He would not give Nonny or Rachel hugs. He was just TOO good for us! I did not know that this started so early in life! At least Logan was still excited to see Daddy. It makes me sad that Ethan is growing up, but I am glad that he is making friends easily.

Our Family

This family was created on July 20, 2002. Our first son, Ethan, was born in May of 2006. Our second son, Logan, was born in October of 2008. Milo, our Jack Russell Terrier, has been a part of the family since 1999, when Jake and Becky first started dating.

Jake is working on his last few classes for his Bachelor's Degree! He can't wait to graduate...

Becky has been tutoring part time, teaching at a preschool, and teaching french horn and piano lessons.

Ethan just had his 5th Birthday. He is loving the Wii. He also enjoys Legos and Transformers. He is on the Grand Prairie Rangers T Ball team. He is getting much better! Last night he hit a double!

Logan is 2 1/2. He loves Thomas the Train and everything that Ethan likes. He is growing up so fast. He is talking more and more every day.

Milo is busy sleeping and barking at the other animals in the neighborhood.

We take the boat out as often as possible!

It's time to go read some books to the boys. I hope to post fairly often to keep you informed of our family's fun!
