Man... I know it's not old but I can't believe I'M THAT OLD!!! How does life fly by so fast?? Being away from family makes trips like this that much more special! Being able to spend Mothers Day, my birthday and my parents 29th anniversary with my family was such a blessing and I so needed it! We headed off early to get some of THE BEST crepes EVER for breakfast then headed to the zoo.

Brin had a rough afternoon but got feeling better just in time to make the cardinals game that evening with the whole family. We had the best time!! STL is seriously the best baseball town around! Nothing like it! We ended the day with some cake and wishes!

Here's to 2.......7!!!!!!!!!

On to the next stop...

I had such a wonderful Mothers Day. I was able to travel and spend sweet quality time with my mother, grandmother, sister and daughter. We laughed and snacked the whole 4 hour trip! Mike and my dad headed out early from Arkansas to catch a Cards game so it was just us girls! The boys had some great seats and got a little bobble head (my sister was pretty quick to confiscate!).

Road trip

We have had the best long weekend! Arkansas, Missouri, and the great state of Illinois:)! All in 5 days!! Brin has been the best! She is such a trooper!

We drove to Arkansas first to celebrate my cousins graduations from ASU. A Bachelors, a Masters, and two kids!! My cousin and his wife have been busy to say the least! We are so proud of them! Unfortunately I only snapped one pic of the kids... I was having too much fun catching up and laughing historically. I love my family! How cute are these kids??: )

Texas sky

Nothing like ending the day with a beautiful sunset!

Valentines day

So Valentines day is my most favorite holiday! I love that the whole day is focused on love! I love the pink, white, and red decorations! I love all the cute hearts everywhere!! My mom always made Valentines day a very special day in our home growing up. We always had a beautiful fancy dinner with flowers and candles and chocolate boxes placed on our plates. It was wonderful!

This year with my family I tried to keep the tradition going! We started the day with pink heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes and frosty pink milk to drink! B got to take a bath with pink water and drew and drew all over with a red tub crayon. We had suger cookies until we couldn't stand it and ended the day with a fabulous steak dinner cooked by Mike {thank you sweets, it was delish!!} B got some new sidewalk chalk, pieces to her dollhouse, candy from her grandmas, and a princess coloring book with glitter pages... There is now glitter everywhere!!!: ) It was a LOVEly day!!!

Here is a little video I've been meaning to do for my family. Who doesn't need a little christmas spirit when it's 105 out??

why i love summer...

A little random here but I just wanted to share why we are so loving summer right now!

1. My yummy fresh herbs!

2. That makes this wonderful cumber, lime, lemon, mint water... sooo refreshing!

3. Summer lovin's!

4. Early morning exploring

5. Brin and I have been downing these green smoothies

{only way to get her to eat some veggies}

6. I'm almost convinced that {besides living on the ocean}

living where we do is thebest place ever to live in the summer

...check out this pool...there is so much to do to stay cool here!

7. And we finish our days with a yummy homemade fruitcicle!

And that about wraps up our summer days.... Time to go get my little lady up from her nap!

Remember when...

Mike and I were just laughing over this post yesterday....you might remember it. It is one of my favorites! I love my honey buns!! He brings multiple smiles to my face daily! Anyway... It got me thinking about this little blog and why I love my blog in the first place, memories. We loved looking back through all of our memories. Now, this blog is probably a little boring to you, but to us it is such a fun way to look back at our life. So with that being said, I seriously need to be better about taking care of this little blog... Here's to memories!!

sweet sweet summertime...

My little sweet buddy and I have been enjoying the summer sun! We've been swimming, playing outside {sometimes with one shoe} and just enjoying ourselves with no scheduale! I'm just soaking up all of B's babyness because she is growing up so fast! Her new favorite word is "wee oww wee oww wee oww". Not sure what it means, but it sure makes us laugh!

blessed

to have such special men in my life...

Happy Father's Day!!

6 years...

Ago today...

Love you Forever!!!

Mr & Mrs

We had a wonderful trip to Salt Lake City for my little brothers wedding! Everything was beautiful the weather {a nice break from hot tx}, the mountains, the wedding, the reception and the Bride!! Seriously how stunning is she?!! We had so much fun being together as a family. Family really is the biggest blessing in the world! The sealing was so sweet and tender and so special for me to see my little brother take his wife's hand and be sealed together for time and all eternity! Everything was just perfect!

including the kiddo's!!
I love these two pictures next to each other! HA!!
