Aurelio and his flight!

So... I got Aurelio a "fly for a day" birthday present last December. He had to wait until March to fly, and he was very excited when the days grew closer. We got to the Taylor airport around noon, and within 45 min, he was up in the air! He flew an AT-6 Texan and did ALL of the aerobatics that came with it. He had a blast and was thrilled to experience 4G's, which makes your body feel 6 times heavier.

The handsome pilot!

Gettin' ready.

All aboard.....

Aurelio giving a GO!

...and he's off...

Bye honey!

Landed! Whew... A thumbs up.

Trey's Birthday Party

Trey had a Spongebob Birthday! It was super successful, but kind of stressful! There were so many kids there, and half of them I didn't even know. We invited all of our new neighbors, and all of the new kids on his baseball team. My goal was to get to know everyone better, but I was constantly running around trying to be a great host, so I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone. The kids had a blast...and I think the parents did too. We rented a Spongebob moonwalk along with Spongebob himself! He was 6 1/2 feet tall, and actually sounded like Spongebob! What a great surprise for the kids! The best part was watching 28 kids decorate their very own cupcake and watch sprinkles pour all over my tile floor! They all got a candle to blow out as well! Trey's 7th birthday was a huge success!

The moonwalk was AWESOME!

...Happy birthday to you...Happy birthday to you...

Make a good wish Trey!

The House is DONE!!!

After weeks and weeks of painting, re-arranging, put this here, put this there.... the house is DONE!! Our pockets are bare, but at least we can just live in our fully furnished house! We have a few light fixtures to change, and a few more pieces of artwork to buy, but nothing else really. Here are a few pictures of the house. These were taken at night, so they might be a little dark, but still....We are so proud of finally having a house that we LOVE!! Thanks again to all who have helped us along the way!

We had this team of people AROUND THE CLOCK for three days!!!! Thanks to all of you, the new house is painted and ready to be lived in! Even though we were so tired of painting....it was still fun!

Trey's New Room

Now that we finally have our house...Trey gets the room he has always wanted! A Graffiti Room!!!! Different I know, but he loves everything about it. He has a loft bed with a "homework station" underneath. He has his own desk and filing cabinets. One wall is completely done in graffiti and the others are painted red and grey. Alvin, a "professional graffiti artist", came and designed him a wall. Trey loves skeletons, skulls, skateboards, and he is quite the fashion kid. He enjoys several brands, such as... Hurley, Fox, DC, Ed Hardy, Flip and Volcom, so Alvin put the logos on his wall as well. We all love the wall, especially Trey! He really did use spray paint, which is crazy to me because of all the detail he was able to do...... I'll post more photos when the rest of the room is finished.
