Like's Blessing day

Luke's Blessing day was wonderful! Richard did a great job, the blessing was beautiful. Luke didn't fuss a peep and he looked adorable in his outfit! It was so nice to see and hang out with the family- Morris and Chio, Ben and Julieanne- especially since we don't get to see them often enough!
Here is Luke with his cute family!


I am positive these are Luke's favorite Aunts!!!

Dallas Day 4

We started off Saturday by going to Ellie's soccer game. Oh how I love these games. It made me think of when Addy and Dawson played at her age. So fun to watch!!
Ellie the soccer star!

That afternoon all us girlies headed back to the American Girl doll store, Seriously we can't get enough! Addy brought her Ellie doll, so we decided to get her ears pierced and her hair done!Addy had been wanting to do this for a long time, however we dont live near an American Girl store. So to be able to do this was so awesome! It was so fun for me to just watch Addy. I will never forget being with her and just watching her that day. It was just another huge reality that she is growing up so fast and I really want to cherish these moments. Before I know it she will be done with dolls and she'll be off driving! Just not ready for that!

So happy!

Great day! I love this little gal and am so happy and blessed to be her Mom!

That night it was off to Pappasitos for the best fajitas(so we have been told).
Well as you can see, they were not wrong! The food was delish!! Addy and I also tried quail for the 1st time as well. It was yummy! Addy loved the fajitas as well as the ribs she is chowing down on in the picture! You go girl!

Dallas Day 2 and 3

We started off day 2 by just relaxing at home. Then when Grandma and Grandpa got here, we hit up another mall for a little bit, while the boys stayed at home. It was so fun to just be us girls and Luke of course. Grandma spoiled the girls with a carousel ride. We had a real good relaxing day!
Friday, day 3 we got ready headed to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa before they took off for Wimberly,TX to see Cameron's football game. Addy and I decided to hang back with Fefe and love more on Luke. After lunch we went to yet another fantastic mall. That night we had to hit up a favorite BBQ! When in Texas, you eat BBQ and boy is it delicious!
Addy and Ellie waiting for the grub!
As I am writing this I am noticing a pattern- we eat and shop a lot and YES I find that to be fun and relaxing!

Dallas- Here we come!

Me and Addy headed for Dallas over UEA weekend to spend time with Steph, Richard the girls and new little baby Luke. It was a fun get away, just us girls! Flight was uneventful, which was wonderful considering my last experience flying there. Our first stop when Fefe picked us up........


It was like Heaven for Addy! It was fun to watch her and Ellie walk through the store and be excited over EVERYTHING! It was then that I realized as I have a million times before, that she is just growing up way to fast. Really just wish I could slow things down sometimes, and this was one of them! Well after literally hours later we hit up the mall and then headed home to Plano. Richard had dinner ready and boy was it yummy! That night I got a lot of cuddling time with Luke.
Loving me some Luke!

Thanks for a great year!!!!

Titans Football

Today was the end of Dawson's first football season, flag football that is! He loved every second of it! I really enjoyed watching him! Not only is he really good but you could just feel the excitement in the air that these kids have for football! He had amazing coaches and they spent time and taught him. They gave him chances to try the positions and plays he wanted and he succeeded. He made multiple touchdowns as well as some great blocks! I wish I took more pics during games but I really was just enjoying them way to much to be snapping pics! I can't wait till next year!
He really has a love for this game. He watches football games with his Dad and they talk about the plays. He watches ESPN and has now memorized the quaterbacks for most of the teams in the NFL. He has to show me the replays, literally he shows me what the player did or how he ran it in for a touchdown. He even shows me his touchdown dance, which does change on occasion, that he will do when he plays in the NFL! It is so fun to hear him and see him so excited and passionate about something.
All I can say is keep the dream alive and dream big buddy because there is nothing you can't do! And I will be there front and center to cheer you along the whole way! Love ya Dawson

Peaches, Spaghetti and appelsauce

What do they have in common, you ask, well they are all the things I canned this year! So fun. This is the only picture I have of all my hard work!
Oh and just for the record I didn't do all of them in one day!
