4th of July!

4th of July was a great day! We had ALL of our family here! Uncle Robert, Aunt Kelley, Jacob, Emalee, and PawPaw & Namaw all came up! We started the day with the parade here in Bentwater ... Will got to ride in the wagon while YaYa pulled him for a bit, and then Daddy took over (and Mommy and YaYa rode in the golf cart), AND Pa actually took the day off from golfing to be in the parade with us!!
That afternoon we all headed over to YaYa and Pa's (and Uncle Josh, Aunt Amy & Miler were there, too!) for some food and fireworks. Will was not too crazy about the fireworks this year ... they started and all he could say was, "All done, all done, boom, boom!" So we ended up in the house ... and he stayed up until 10:00 that night! It was a BIG day for our little guy!


Getting ready for the parade!

Will with his older cousins, as he says Babob (Jacob) & Ema ... he had a blast playing wih them all day!

This was about the time Will was telling us "All done, boom boom!"

Amy and Josh brought Miler over Saturday ... Will LOVES his new baby cousin!

Will in his NEW HOUSE!

Sorry for the delay in pictures, but we have had quite a time getting internet here!! We are pretty settled and it is so nice to be a family in OUR house again ... thanks Mom & Dad for letting us stay, but I know we are ALL glad it is over!!!

"Helping" unpack!



Hanging out in his diaper ...

And on his trike (which is so not an inside toy but it totally keeps him entertained!)

He locked himself and Riley in his playroom - it is a game to him!

Trying to "ride" Rocco ....

So much more fitting ... trying to ride Riley!

We CLOSED!

FINALLY ... and, of course there were issues at closing, but it happened! We will be moving over the course of the week ~ check back soon for pictures of Will in his new house!

Galveston!

Will went to Galveston with my parents, Aunt Amy, Uncle Josh & Miler on Saturday while Patrick & I went to my 10 Year Reunion (which was a blast!). We met them down there on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day with more family. Will & I stayed with YaYa Sunday and Monday night ... we went to the Strand, swam in the pool and just hung out and played in the condo. It was nice and relaxing!








Here are a few pictures from the Reunion:

A couple new pictures....

I got my new camera charger yesterday so here are a few pictures of Will from this morning...

Bedhead!!

Update...

Well, we are STILL waiting to close on our new home. This has been a process to say the least, working with his bank has just been ridiculous. We have gotten a lot more updates in the last week however, so we know it is in the works and should be very soon! As soon as we are in and get settled we'll post some pictures of the house.

*I managed to lose the camera charger during the packing/move, BUT I have ordered a new one, so there should be new pictures of Will SOON! He is learning something new every day, and talking like crazy! He pretty much repeats anything you say (which means we all are on our best behavior, and really have to watch what we say these days!) He loves babies after visiting Miler, and his new word is "bobby" (for baby)~ he thinks anyone in a stroller is a baby, and will say it over and over. Yesterday in Michael's he saw a stroller across the store and began yelling for the "bobby" ... luckily he listens pretty well, and knows what "shhh!" means!! He is developing a funny personality and is definitely getting a temper :-( which we are working on!

4 Generations

Baby Miler

Will & I went to visit Aunt Amy, Uncle Josh & Miler ... here are some pictures from our trip up to Lufkin.

Happy boy!

My cutie on one of our LAST drives to Cypress (I took it at a stoplight with my phone). Luckily he did not mind being in the car most days!) for an hour there and back. Thank goodness summer has started ... and now no more long drives for Will and I!

An evening with the Novosads ...

Memorial Day weekend we finally got to spend an evening with my best friend Jennifer, her hubby Brandon and their PRECIOUS daughter Malley. Malley and Will played so well together! We enjoyed our yummy pork chops, the fresh green beans and most of all the great company ... we cannot wait to have you guys over as soon as we move in our house (if that ever happens!!!!!)

Trying to get them to pose at the same time ... impossible!

Will is so excited to be at the Novosad's house!

Baby Miler has arrived!

Amy and Josh welcomed Miler Guy Stewart into the world on May 22, 2008 at 4:52 PM. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz, and 20 inches long. He is absolutely perfect! Mommy is doing well, and they hope to go home sometime this afternoon. We could not be more excited with the new addition to our extended family! Will is looking forward to playing with his baby cousin soon!!
Congratulations Amy & Josh ... he is beautiful!

Will and the baby pool

We definitely have a water baby ... Patrick and I decided to get Will a little pool so he could play in the water last Sunday, and he had a blast. We set up his Little Tikes slide so he could slide in the water, and he loved it! He would slide down, and say "Some!" because he wanted to do it again!!
We are going to have a fun summer!
