It's About Time


It's about time I learned how to blog and since I'm visiting Tanner, Dani and Addie in Austin I decided to learn from one of the best!!! Kassie and I have been here since last Fri. Saturday we went to San Antonio and visited Brant and Kim Taylor - good friends who moved from IF 7 years ago. It was so fun to see their cute family and visit for awhile. We went downtown and did the River Walk (which I was happy to find out it is a real river and not man-made). We also saw the Alamo (so we'll "remember the Alamo"). Addie was a trooper being in the car most of the day. She put up with us very well. Sunday we rested - you know church and all. Had a great dinner, went for a walk and played Monopoly (I won!!!). Monday was a shopping day and oh baby did Addie score. Little pill wouldn't even model for us after getting so many cute clothes!!!!! Today (tuesday) I finished Addie's new softie. She even sat on the couch and cuddled in the blankie while she watched Doodlepops!!! She loves that show. Anyway - it's been too fun and I hate to leave tomorrow. I'll post all the fun pictures when I get home.

The BIG Apple...

Hopefully in a few months the Hill family will be walking across that cross walk! Look Dad, they even have Cocacola there!
For the past 4 months, our family has been participating in a 'Wellness Challenge'. We each picked a goal that would help us become a little healthier and committed to do it for 3 months (with 1 month extension for the slackers). The catch to this challenge is that whoever met their goal at the end gets to go on an all expensed trip to NY courtesy of the best parents in the world! Anyway, this challenge is ending on Saturday and I am pretty excited about it! More excited to go to NY since I've never been. My mom once told me I was a deprived child, I'll never let her forget that she said that! I guess Kassie was too! We will stand together as the deprived children in the Hill family! YEA for the Wellness Challenge being over soon and an even bigger YEA to NYC!
