I know. I know. I blogged about the love of summer last month, but I just can’t stop! One thing that I realized that summer brings is visits from those that you haven’t seen in awhile…family and friends! Three of the four weekends in July we had house guests. Aquapalooza brought in quite a... read more ⇒

I love summer. It is the best time of the year. The sunny weather, the baby deer, families going on vacation, the beach, time on the boat, swimming at the pool and drinks with umbrellas! For me, it is a very easy time of the year to love. I don’t mind the heat too much since I am so cold... read more ⇒

May was Milestone Month! The one milestone that I knew was coming was Brant’s first birthday. Our baby boy is not a baby anymore…a little sad. God blessed us with a happy, people pleasing little boy. I love how when we go to HEB he tries to catch everyone’s eye, so he can smile at them and... read more ⇒

The pictures are from bluebonnet pictures from 2009 and then from 2010. Only 365 days later. Wow! I am sure you can tell the difference. It is mind blowing how in such a short amount of time you can go from an almost-still- a-baby girl to a little girl who has a toddler brother!! I try to remind... read more ⇒

It was a nice Friday night at home with the family. Jarrod had been out fishing that afternoon, and now it was bath time. Braelyn has always enjoyed bath time. Whoever knew foam ABCs would be such a big hit? Brant has recently decided that just sitting in the bath tub isn’t nearly as fun as... read more ⇒

My life has drastically changed since my last blog. Brant is now crawling. And I don’t mean a little here and there, but he is making it across the house and back. I love the fact that he is more independent. He seems to be so much more content to play by himself. This is such a Blessing to... read more ⇒

Have you seen the movie Four Christmases? Well that is our life. Well…maybe not a family of “cougars” or wanna-be wrestlers, but we do have four sets of parents to visit during the holidays. I have always tried to be fair and work it out where everyone gets their special time. It used to... read more ⇒

Family is so precious, and I love how the Lord reminds me to appreciate mine. The last few weeks have been filled with “family” events…Thanksgiving, Braelyn’s 2nd birthday and the upcoming Christmas holiday. The Lord has recently given the blessing of spending time with my father. He is in... read more ⇒

On Halloween we went trick or treating with a neighborhood “gang”. Braelyn was excited, but nervous because all of the “scary men”. But once we got our first stash of candy she was all about it. Reese’s Peanut Butter cups were her favorite. She is racking up the traits that she gets from... read more ⇒

Wow! We had a great time at our Fall Party. We had a full crew of firemen, a figure skater and the Wizard of Oz show up. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us and to those who brought... read more ⇒
