We threw a surprise party for my mom a few weeks back! It was so much fun but I am not quite sure if she was surprised (SEE PICTURE BELOW) 
What a cute mom I have. I love her so much, especially since she did not disown me after all the embarrasing pictures I had of her at the party. 
No surpirse that my kids thought this party was all for them!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
For our last family home evening (FHE) Aidan was in charge of planning the activity and this is what he wanted to do...
Of course he had to be in charge of pushing the timer button each time... he is really into "being in front," "being first," and we often hear him say things like "I win."
My mom, sister, and I went our for a girls night to see... Twilight! But we actually started the night with queso (seriously the best in the world and if you ever come and visit me in Texas I will prove it to you.) Next we went to the movie and I loved it although I loved the book more!
A great night with great company!
While my sister and her family were in town we snuck in some time for family pictures...
The whole fam...
Our little fam...
Brothers and Sisters...
The proud grandma and grandpa...
David and I just celebrated our anniversary... 6 years. In some ways it has flown by, and in other ways it feels like we have been married forever. I love him and am so lucky to have him to myself for ETERNITY. :) I could not ask for a better best friend, husband, and father to my children! I am so blessed!
... this song that is playing now! If you have never heard it.. listen!
Josh Groban- Thankful
I just found out that David is going to be home this year for Christmas! The first time in a couple of years! I am SO EXCITED!!!
Just passing this along:

While Mandi was in town, we decided to spend a day going to the children's museum. I am not sure who had more fun, us or the kids (as you will notice from the pics!) There were so many fun things to do...
Kid play...
Future McDreamy?
And we wonder why kids think money grows on trees?
Insert Card: Take Money!

Brinn loves birds so she was in 7th heaven when about 100+ birds were in our backyard and on the fence!
There is just something about cupcakes and butterflies on jammies! I love having a girl!
Brinn showing her patriotism!
ALL GIRL...
I could be in trouble...
I could REALLY be in trouble!
Something is wrong with this picture... HELP ME!
This is how Aidan likes to play with his toys every day. It is very methodical and you will often hear him saying things like: "Don't worry daddy will save you" or "Tiger's getting on the airplane and going to grandma."
These pictures are of Aidan at playgroup before Halloween. This is him with his friend Arianna that lives down the street.
Playing with goo!
Witches brew... aka root beer.
They put on a costume parade and Aidan was the dinosaur. He got really into it!
My little lady bug and my "stinkin" cute skunk!
The cutest ladybug I have ever seen!
Look at this face!

That is actually Uncle Austin under all that make-up.
Looks like a successful night... now, what to do with all this candy???
