Family Picture

All the Grandkids. A month and a half later and McKinley could have joined us.

Over Christmas my entire family(all 10 of us) were together for the first time in like 6 years. We had all our families with us and it was so much fun. I'm so glad we got pictures to remember this event. I will post the picture of everyone when I get a copy from the photographer. These were taken with my sister's camera. I wish I wasn't almost 8 months pregnant, but what can you do! I had such a great time and feel so blessed to have such an amazing family! Love you guys!

Holiday Traditions

This year we have already had a blast beginning to celebrate christmas. It gets better every year that the kids get a little older and enjoy more. We are so excited to see what the rest of December has in store for us...

December 2nd we woke up to a winter wonderland. We were shocked as this is rare for Texas. Although Katelynn still had school, we had to make it fun for Brennon as this may be the only chance he gets to play in it this year.
We also decorated our tree. The kids both helped and we played our first Christmas music. It was exciting to get to put it out in the open this year as we don't have a toddler to pull it down. Next year it will all change....

Katelynn had a cookie decorating party with her friends. Then they watched Polar Express.

More tree decorating pictures...

We also are making it a tradition to go on a carriage ride at Christmas. The kids of course loved it and it was the perfect weather this year.

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving. The day before we met Matt at the Fort Worth zoo and spent the 70 degree day seeing all the animals. A favorite family activity. For Thanksgiving we had a progressive dinner with friends and ate way too much and had so much fun we may do it every year!

My little guy turns 3!

Brennon is such a joy in our home. We can't believe he is now 3 years old. He is so fun and always has a smile on his face. He makes me smile every day and there is no greater gift! Love ya bud!

Brennon as a baby just 3 short years ago....

Birthday pictures:

We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese, the kids favorite.

As you can tell, he could hardly wait to open gifts...

The kids helping make the cake: I love that they enjoy cooking with me...

Halloween 09

Katelyn was a ladybug and Brennon was a skunk. He had a little heart on the bum that said "Lil' Stinker" . So fitting! They had so much fun this year and got way too much candy!

Texas Fall and Pumpkin patch

Just wanted to share some fun fall pictures. We are loving celebrating this year and can't wait to do more!

My Cute Kids!

Just wanted to capture my kids and how adorable they are right now. I couldn't feel more blessed to have these sweet blessings in my life!

Texas State Fair

We had such a great time at the Texas Fair this year. It was our first time and it was definitely worth it! It was the biggest fair I have ever been to, and I have been to plenty in my day. I almost want to go back and see more of it. Its like it's own city! My favorite part was the fire/lights/ and fireworks show. It was amazing. Here are a few shots. They coordinated it with music and a huge screen playing pictures and videos.

I also loved how they had photo places all throughout the fair.

They had a huge mammoth that the kids couldn't resist playing on...

Even Matt had to make a joke out of it.... ;)

They had a "BIG TEX SANDPIT" that the kids loved playing in. It was HUGE!

They had a parade before the show and it was cute. Katelynn wanted a picture with the horses in the parade. Her favorite part, of course!

They had the best free petting zoo. It had tons of animals and lots of newborn babies. Even the Kangaroo had a new baby in her pouch. You can see it peeking out. So Cute!

Feeding the animals was of course a hit!

They had a car show and the kids had to get a picture with the "transformers" car.
