Love Sunday Mornings...

On Sundays church does not start until 1:30... not the most convenient time in the middle of the day but it has ended up being a really fun morning at our house. Because I want Sunday to be a different kind of day than the rest of the week, I don't let my kids watch TV(except Veggie Tales and church movies.) Most Sundays my kids end up playing all morning and it's so fun to watch them having fun together. This particular Sunday they were playing Zoo... which included zoo hats made by them...

At the Zoo entrance (which by the way, the first time I went to the zoo I got in free, the second time... not so much)


Aidan and Brinn in the petting zoo area...

One of these things...

... is not like the other.

These are most of the kids on our street that are Aidan and Brinn's age... It's a good thing Aidan loves girls ;)

The Tooth Fairy

The Tooth Fairy finally made her first visit to our house...




... and this boy could not be happier!

Hawaii!!!

David had vacation and we went back and forth about what we wanted to do. We wanted to go camping... but camping in Texas... no thanks. We started thinking about places where we could go and finally decided on Hawaii... This trip was so much fun! We were there for 4 days, 3 nights, and actually camped in our tent on the beach for 2 of those nights. Definitely an adventure!!!
(You will notice are pictures are missing one certain little guy... who stayed home with Grandma so that Mom could actually relax a little bit... but he was missed... A LOT!!!)

Desperate

My poor children are desperate for cold weather... So desperate in fact, that they insisted on wearing their "winter gear" despite the fact that it was 84 degrees outside when this picture was taken...

And just because he is so cute!

Grateful...

For 3 healthy, happy kiddos...
and one on the way!

Due June 14th!!!

WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!

And let's not forget the man who made this all possible... Definitely grateful for him ;)

Long overdue....

Long overdue on a lot of posts so I'll be playing catch-up over the next few days.

Nic and Lauren were nice enough to watch our kids one Saturday when I had a church function to be at and David was out of town. They took the kiddos to a Pumpkin Patch and thoroughly spoiled them. Thanks Nic and Lauren... can't wait to re-pay all the favors with little Corbin one day(soon!) :)


Our church does a Trunk-or-Treat every year and David and I decided to get into the spirit of things this year. David sported the "fisherman" look while I opted for a more true-to-life costume of a "mom." I was wearing a robe and actually safety pinned dolls hanging on me... If your a mom, you get it!

Now, on to Halloween.
Aidan aka Spidey

Brinn aka Barbie

Owen aka Nemo

And what's Halloween without a family shot...

My Front Door...

Lauren(SIL) found a cute wreath on Pinterest and this tutorial here. Operation front door wreath was officially underway. We figured we could spice it up a little so we added some black wired ribbon and I LOVE how it turned out.



Nothing like getting your craft on.
