Finley and Zane had a great time at their first birthday party! We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family! We could not have asked for a better day!

It was such a wonderful day!
On Friday, September 24th, Finley and Zane turned ONE! We had a nice family celebration with cupcakes and presents!
Pre-cupcake:
Post cupcake:
Finley took her time and enjoyed every bite whereas Zane devoured the entire cupcake in a matter of seconds! It was too funny!
Then we went outside to enjoy the fall-ish weather and play with some new toys!!
We took Finley and Zane in for their first haircuts! It was a huge success…no tears, but rather tons of smiles!!

We are ready to cheer on the longhorns!!!
We tailgated with our friends…
Little longhorns!
Then we celebrated a longhorn victory at our cousin’s house!!
Finley has taken her first steps. She started taking 1-2 steps throughout the day last week and just this weekend she took 10 consecutive steps! She is so determined to walk…so determined that she took a spill and cut her lip. It was so sad to see her fat little lip!
Of course whenever I have the video in hand she stops…I am trying to capture her walking! This is the best I could get spur of the moment!
She had to take a break to suck her thumb and hold her ear…it is so cute!
A while a ago I mentioned that I’d explain why we have been so busy….well, here it goes!
We have been dreaming of adding on to our house for a while now and we are finally going to do it! We have had the plans for a bit but could not do it right away…and then the babies came so we really couldn’t do it for a while. Well, the process has now begun…permits applied for, cleared out the house, neighbors on board…we are so excited!!!

After:
I have been packing slowly for about a month and we just moved this week. I could not have done it with out the help of my family and friends! GG helped with packing and packing supplies and more, and Grammy came in to help with the move and offered their lovely Austin rental house! We are so lucky…it is a great house in a super area and the neighbors are fantastic!!!
Finley and Zane have been great helpers too! They spent spent moving day at their cousins house and loved it…thank you so much, Aunt Sarah and Grammy!
Of course, we have no rain for weeks and then the forecast calls for rain on moving day! I was hoping for a typical weatherman mistake, but they were right on…rained all morning during the move! The movers were great and even beat their estimated time despite the rain! We are settled in and enjoying our temporary digs!
Finley, Zane, Tank, and Vader are loving the extra space…and so is momma!
