Just a few of our pics!










I LOVE THEM! Thanks to Allison of http://www.freckledeggphotography.com we have these great memories of our family at this stage. They turned out really good and we will always cherish them. I will upload more soon- we have around 30 total pics. What a great way to remember our 7th wedding anniversary and Jakey at 18 months!

Fun-Filled Friend Time!!

Over the past week we've been lucky enough to spend some time with old friends. We drove to College Station and visited my college friend Irma and her kids Olivia and Gabe. We also went over to my old work friend Leah's for a Saturday playdate. Then, today my friend Danette brought her two boys over to play with Jake (and have the always welcome grown-up conversation). =)
We really, really enjoy our time with our friends and are so thankful to have each of them in our lives!

they were mailing eachother letters!


Jake found someone who loves cars as much as he does!

until we meet again!


Ha! Can you tell by looking at Jakey that it was past nap time? This boy loves his sleep!


He wanted to hold her and hug her! I'm not sure who Jake hugs more....Emily or Sara!


Love this pic of him trying to hug/grab/hold her!

We said good-bye to Andrea today for the second time. She's moving to Georgia again! We are so glad that they had some time here, close to their families and friends. Her husband, Gonzalo, is in the army and has been deployed a couple of times, one deployment being during Andrea's entire pregnancy. They now have this sweet baby girl and get to move to Georgia together to live as a family. We are so thankful for Gonzalo's safety and their service to our country and hope to have them close again sometime in the future. Andrea will be missed at our girl's nights, birthday dinners and bunko!

Happy 21st, Haley!

Probably one of our worst family pics ever :-/



A great pic, except for the about-to-be-escapee



#3 and #4 - although it might sounds "potty-mouth"
to put #1 and #2 under a pic of me and Court ;)


The birthday girl with Court and Shad


My Dad was acting a little looney jumping around with the camera and this is our reaction



mother of the birthday girl and the birthday girl herself!






silly jakey

This past Tuesday we had the 2nd Annual celebration of Haley's birthday at Pecos Grill in Tomball. Ok, it's not really an annual thing it just so happened that it's been there two years in a row. What can I say, my family loves a place that brings a basket of bread (or several baskets of bread if we're going to be honest), makes SPICY chicken fried steaks, and yummy fried okra. Sooooo delicious!
I cannot believe my littlest sister is 21! We had a great, fun family dinner and I'm glad she got to come home to celebrate! Love you, Haley!

The 4th!!

Me and Court









Our little family

The Woodlands fireworks show was amazing!




Sweet Jake taking in the sights. He was not sweet the whole time, as it was well past his bedtime but well worth going for. Jakey was laying on Mommy who was laying on Daddy who took this pic. Got that?!? :)



stair fun w/uncle Shad


Playing Buzz Word






Our sweet boy- can you tell it was around 3pm and he hadn't had a nap?
















We had a fantastic fourth this year. It was a perfect mix of family, friends, work and play. We painted our bathroom, watched a movie, hung out with friends, played games with both of our families at Court and Shad's house, and attended the 1st birthday party of sweet Clint. We also went to the Woodlands Waterway for the fireworks show. It was probably the best one I've ever seen with a crazy Grand Finale.
We love our country and our freedom! Hope your 4th weekend was perfect!
