Oregon Trip

We were so happy to have gotten to go visit our friends in Oregon this year. We had so much fun hanging out with Arwen, Josh, Cailin, Emilie and all of their wonderful animals and the rest of the family. The kids had a blast playing with Cailin and Emilie and loved every minute of it. They ask about once a week when we are going to go to Oregon again or when they are going to come visit us here. Hopefully this summer they will or we will get to make a fall trip there.

November

Moving on to November....lots of fun stuff. All the pretty fall leaves, the kids loved playing in the leaves and trying to catch them as they fall. We didn't have big trees in Aledo so it's been so fun having trees again. Our trees in Aledo consisted of a twig that would bend over if the wind blew too hard. I love these pictures of my babies.

Carving Pumpkins

The kids loved carving their pumpkins and were so excited to look at them with candles inside all lit up.

Halloween Dance Class

I am so far behind on here but I'm going to try and catch up. This is Audrey's Halloween dance class. They all got to dress up for class, it was so cute. She loves her some dance class!!

Go Frogs!!

We took the kids to "Meet the Frogs" at TCU and they had so much fun. They got their faces painted, slid down slides, went through the obstacle course and got to see Super Frog. Gavin is obsessed with Super Frog. After we took the picture with him he said, "Wait, I didn't tickle Super Frog" He was really concerned. I guess that was his plan all along and he forgot. Random....

They both had their horns up ready for a picture and the band started playing and they both turned around in the exact same position. Pretty funny!

First day of school

The kids had their first day at their new school. They were both so excited and they loved their new friends and teachers which makes me very happy. I think they are in a very good place.

Wow!

Ok, I am terrible. It has been way too long since I have posted anything on here. Quick synopsis of what has been going on with the Greathouse family.....we moved into our house the first of June and are really loving the area and being near everything and everyone. About a month after we moved we found out we are expecting baby #3. We are still pretty shocked and can't believe we will be adding another little Greathouse to this already crazy family. I am due February 24 and we will find out in about a month if it's a boy or girl. We have had a fantastic summer and I can't believe it's almost September but I think we are all ready for some cooler weather. We took a trip to Port Aransas with our Supper Club group and all our kiddos and had a great time. The kids have been asking about the beach ever since we came home. We went to Sea World first to split the trip up, they loved it.

Steven is once again looking for a job. His current position will probably end at the end of Sept but he can extend it if he wants for a few months so he is taking his time trying to find something else. The kids have both started taking gymnastics and Audrey is going to start taking dance classes next week. So cute!!! They are also going to start their new school and I am so excited for that. I am going to continue working a couple of days a week while they are in school but after #3 gets here I'm not sure what we will do.

Well that is a short version of what has been happening. Here are a few pictures. I don't have many b/c I dropped my camera in the stinkin ocean and it obviously no longer works. Whooops!

I will try and get on here and post more often. I got in trouble from Papaw that I needed to put some new stuff up here so I better listen.

The Big Move

We are about to make a huge transition in the Greathouse world. We are moving back to Fort Worth in 3 weeks. Steven and I are so excited we can't stand it. Steven's job will eventually be moving to Dallas so we thought we should move a little closer so he can have a shorter commute. But in all actuality it will only be saving him about 10 minutes. But we don't really care at this point, we are ready to be back in the city. We sold our house a few weeks ago and then something fell through with the buyers so they backed out. So we are back at square one trying to sell our house. We are still going through with our new house near TCU but we will have to have 2 houses for awhile until we sell the Aledo house. Hopefully it will sell fast.

Gavin thinks he is an explorer most of the time hence the Diego pajamas and accessories. Audrey is his sidekick.




Papaw and his grandbabies. Miss Audrey just couldn't get close enough to him that night. She is all about her Papaw and he gets lots of love from her when he comes over.

Day at the Farm

We had a mini family reunion at my cousin Brett and Nancy's house. They live in Grandview and have cows, horses, a donkey, goats, 6 dogs and a lake to fish on. What fun!!! The kids had a blast!We even went on a hay ride and went to see some old airplanes.

My cousin Matt is a photographer and took lots of great shots. Here are a few. These pictures make mine look so boring.
