Always into something...


That's mommy's expensive face lotion.


It's a good thing that face is sooo darn cute!

Dad's 60th Birthday Bash!

In July we celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday at the Kemah boardwalk with lots of family and had a great time!
My mom and dad- married 40yrs!!! It's not often that we are ALL together with kids AND husbands, so this was a very special and worthwhile occasion. In this picture: Alli Jean, Me, April, Marcie, the birthday boy, Gavin and my mom with TJ. So apparently the husbands didn't make it into any pictures, but they were there!

Pawpaw leading all his grand kids out to the patio to watch the boats.

Cade and TJ enjoying the music and dancing at Joe's Crab Shack. Cade is such a sweet boy that loves to play with and guide the younger kids.


Okay, this video is so my dad. He has always been tons of fun and loves to make others laugh. And those dance moves haven't changed much :-)

It's moments like this that make me wish Alli and TJ could live closer to their cousins. How sweet is that?


We were chased out by some nasty thunderstorms and I was really bummed that I didn't get to ride the roller coaster with my dad, but we did catch a great street performer that TJ just stood and stared at in awe (hope he wasn't getting any ideas), and all the kids had fun petting the stingrays at the aquarium.

Most importantly, we were together enjoying each other's company, having fun and celebrating the man who made it all happen together with my mom. Thank you Daddy for being such an awesome dad and Pawpaw. Thank you for everything that you taught me, the values you instilled in me, and all the love and support you have offered over the years.

I love you!

Wonderfully Made

But Jesus called the children to Him and said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Luke 18:16

She was able to do this with no help or prompting after just a couple days of listening to her new bible songs and stories CD at bedtime. Wow- their little brains are capable of learning and remembering so much more than we realize!


She started randomly singing this the other day after having been at Kid's Day Out. I thought it was hilarious!
