Neat Picture

This is a picture of a tree I took at our lot this evening. 

House Update - Concrete

 Evening before the pour.

 This was such an exciting moment.  This is a picture driving up the morning of the pour. 

 William and I went to witness the concrete pour early Wednesday morning. We both enjoyed seeing the lines of concrete trucks making their deliveries.  Unfortunately, Trey had a meeting that he had to attend in Austin. 

Quality control - Westin was checking for problems. 

 Such a big boy.

 All done.

Westin 7 Months Old

Westin turned 7 months old today.  Yesterday he sat up by himself for the first time, and today he got his legs up under him and pushed off.  He was attempting to get to one of William's cars and everyone was so excited - with the exception of William! Today I took Westin with me to a wedding shower and to a friend's house for a celebration party and he was a delightful companion. He now weighs a little more than 16 pounds, and he will eat anything he can get his hands on.  He is long and skinny.

Easter 2011

 William had just found the treats left by the Easter Bunny. 

 Unfortunately, William was sick this Easter.  My parents were able to come by and watch the boys while Trey and I headed to church.  William did the best he could to enjoy the fun.

Building Our House

 Scraped the lot.

                                                     Started the forms.

Filled forms with dirt.

 One filthy child who loves all the dirt :)

 Daddy and Westin checking out the progress.

I think William is enjoying the building process.  Actually, we all are.  Currently, the plumbing is being installed in the ground.  We are projected to pour the concrete next Friday.  This will be a very exciting day for Trey and William since they are planning on spending the day watching the concrete be poured. 

Sippy Cup 101

 Look Mom one hand.

At Westin's last check-up his pediatrician said it was time to introduce the sippy cup.  I told her that there is no way that he is old enough to be ready for a sippy cup.  I have a feeling that I will be babying him forever.  He is 6 1/2 months old in this picture and it was his first time to "drink" from a cup.  He was soaked when he was finished with it.
