We have officially moved out of our house and have closed on it. We are now living with my parents. We are not completely moved in yet but it is coming along and I think everyone is adjusting fine.
Moving was miserable. We moved Wednesday thru saturday! We had a lot of stuff and it made it even more difficult because it was going to three different places, no climate controlled storage, climate controlled storage and my parents house. So it wasn't like you could just move everything room by room and be done. I was exhausted, as was Kyle and everyone who helped us by the end of the 4 days! Here is a picture of alex on the last day having his breakfast in the almost empty living room, this tv was a lifesaver that day!



he is such a good boy :) Here was one last picture that I took of the house before I pulled out of the driveway :'(



As much as I wanted to move it was a little bit bittersweet. Kyle and I have lots of memories in that house and I will never forget it. Here are a few that really stand out in my mind.
1. The countless hours that we along with many friends and family spent taking wall paper off the walls, painting, tearing up flooring ect.
2. The proposal..I will never forget where I stood in the kitchen when Kyle proposed to me.
3. Home at last: we came home to this house from our honeymoon as the new mr and mrs baurle. I moved out of my parents house and in with my husband...I can't believe it has been almost three years!
4. Standing in our tiny master bathroom starring at the positive pregnancy test that told me I was going to be a mommy!
5. Bringing home from the hospital the most perfect loveable little boy.
6. Loveing on my sweet Haley for the last time before she went to heaven.
7. Alex had all of his firsts from his first year in this house, first tooth, first crawl, first word, first time walking, and first birthday.
I will never forget the home that my husband and I shared together for the first time but I am looking forward to making many more memories in a new home!

Derby fun!!!

Last Saturday was the Kentucky derby. I had to work all weekend but decided to wake up at 1 on Saturday and get ready so that I could go to the derby party that was at Kyle's cousins house. It was a lot of fun while I was there and we even won one of the jackpots on one of the races before derby.



Here is alex in his derby shirt that I made for him.
We had a big milestone this week for Alex, he started drinking out of his sippy cup in his own! He would never hold it before, we always had to hold it for him but he has finally figured it out, yay alex!



Yesterday we went to the zoo with Abbey and Eli. It is always so nice to get out of the house and into the sunshine, and it usually wears the little man out. He fell alseep on the way to the zoo and slept thru part of the zoo, then took a 3 hour nap when we got home!!



What a funny sleeping position, doesn't look very comfortable to me :) while we were at the zoo we found a little grass area so we could let the boys get out of their strollers. Shortly after we sat down two geese decided to join us, and then they were trying to eat Alex! Man were they aggressive! They were not even scared of me when I was trying to shoo them away!
I work tomorrow night. I don't know what Saturday holds, probably packing. Then on Sunday we are celebrating mothers day with our families at Kyle's sisters house.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful cinco de mayo!
