Pensacola

We've had a fun first few weeks here so far!! We love going over to pensacola beach.. You have to take this bridge out over the ocean for a few miles to get to it but it's gorgeous and super fun! It's the touristy side of where we live! We've also started to make some great friends from our cute little ward!! Jeff's started working at the hospital in the pharmacy.. And we've been busy going on play dates! 

Ryker is my total little beach bum! 

Landon on the other hand... Doesn't love it yet.. I'm sure he will grow to love it 

Rykers cute little girlfriend Nora.. He's so gentle and sweet to her.. They are a few months apart and it's the cutest! 

And landon has a little girlfriend as well... They are less than a month apart! 

And we like going on family jogs on a cement path along the water! 

We went to this super yummy restaurant along the water 

Little sailor 

Landon just wants to eat everything we eat.. He loves spaghetti and garlic bread 

Landons nursery!

When we moved to San Antonio... We only had 2 weeks to find some where to live (while we were in vegas). Everywhere we called.. No one had a three bedroom available for when we needed it.. So we had to take a two bedroom. We knew it was only temporary.. That we would only be there for six months.. So landon slept in our room. My pregnancy wasn't as fun because I wasn't preparing a nursery for landon since we were living at my moms while Jeff was gone.. And then we moved in to a two bedroom where I once again couldn't give him a nursery.. So I was super excited when we got here to finally decorate a nursery for him ( even though he's almost 8 months old!!)

Pensacola or bust!

Its been about 2 weeks now since we were on our little road trip to our new home in pensacola! It was a fun little trip for us! We weren't in any rush to get to our new home since it was possible that our stuff wouldn't get to us until the 9th of March and Jeff didn't have to start working until March 10th... Plus we had to drive seperate and we wanted to make the drive easy on the boys.. I think our longest drive out of the three days was 4 1/2 hours which isn't bad at all!! The first day we drove to houston.. On the way into town we stopped at IKEA.. There were a few things I wish I had grabbed when we made the trip to ikea in Austin.. And once we got to florida the closest one is 5 hours away!! After IKEA we checked into our hotel and grabbed some dinner. The next morning we went and looked at NASA and then stopped at the aquarium before we started out drive to Louisiana! Louisiana is totally my favorite! It's just gorgeous there!! After we got to our hotel in Louisiana we set out for some real Louisiana Cajun food.. We shared fried pickles.. Fried shrimp and tried our first bowl of gumbo! I was dying to try a beignet ... But the place we ate at didn't have any.. Just another reason for us to take a 3 hour road trip to New Orleans soon!! Then the third day we finally made it to pensacola.. We checked into the housing office.. They took us over to our house and before we knew it the mover showed up with our stuff!! It was def a long day getting everything unloaded and unpacked but we were super excited we didn't have to go a week without our stuff!! Of coarse the next day we had to go find the beach/bay that's a minute drive from our house! So perfect! 

About to hit the road.. We had to get a picture of the boys in front of our texas home for the last time 

Hello houston! I'm pretty sure our entire road trip was foggy like this!! 

The houston aquarium 

Family selfie! 

I love Louisiana! It was so green!! 

And we went on an 18 mile bridge over this swamp.. Ryker couldn't stop talking about that's where the alligators live 

I was thrilled that landon slept the entire time we were in the car every day!

Passing through mobile Alabama.. I'm excited this cute little city is only an hour away from us! 

The beach/bay right by our house 

The sand here is so white! It reminds me of sugar cookie dough! 

Family pictures!

We realized we hadn't had any pictures of us taken as a family of 4 yet! Mainly because I'm not going to pay all of this money for my two year old who refuses to cooperate.. Even with many bribes! One of my sweet friends took a few for us and we love them! (Just don't pay attention to Rykers pout..)

And a few of Landons 6 months! 

As of lately...

I haven't updated in a month and we've been up to some fun since then! We celebrated Jeff's 30th birthday! We went to the Alamo.. Landon got 2 teeth.. He's sitting like a pro, wants to crawl and loves to eat graham crackers! Valentine's Day was fun.. Jeff graduates tomorrow.. We have our movers set up to move us to Florida and we have a four bedroom house waiting for us when we get there! It's crazy that we are moving in less than 2 weeks but we are ready and excited for our next adventure! 

Landons first Valentine's Day.. I just want to squish that sweet face! 

Trying out the swings for the first time.. He loved it! 

Enjoying january and February in the 70's.. That's my kind of winter! 

We went to cpk for Jeff's birthday and then had a cheesecake for his "cake"

Jeff just happened to be doing his round of clinicals at the same hospital our pediatrician is at.. So when we went for Landons 6 month appointment we were able to have lunch with Jeff 

Teething is Oh so not fun 

We sure are going to miss all of our amazing friends when we leave!! I have never met so many friendly fun amazing people as we have here! 

We had to make a trip to see the Alamo before we move! I only call it a trip because it really is crazy madness going downtown! 

I don't think I ever expected the Alamo to be in the middle of downtown next to the mall and the river walk.. For some reason I always thought it would be out in the middle of no where!! 

Jeff's been so good to let me get as many girl nights in as possible before we move! 

Landons hair is finally deciding to come in! So cute! 

Rykers first play date with his first little girlfriend! He loved it! Parks and happy meals.. Can it get any better than that?
