Haircut pics as promised...

1st Haircut

So last Thursday after all the birthday festivities we decided it was finally time for someone to professionally cut Greyson's hair. Because the poor boy has 2 cowlicks we have been letting it grow out a bit in hopes it would help the cowlicks lay down. We decided that we would have Vivian who cuts my hair do it. I made the appointment at a time so that Jason could be there for back-up :) We were a little unsure how this whole experience would go since all the "trims" at home had ended in what seemed to be traumatic experiences for Greyson. Luckily Vivian has a TV in her little room so we knew that would help. We warned Vivian that this might end in him screaming bloody murder...we all geared up as she put the booster seat in the chair, put the cape on Greyson, and turned the TV to PBS. Luckily Clifford was on so I thought well at least the TV will have his attention for a second...He did GREAT!!! He sat in the chair, let Viv cut his hair while he watched Clifford and didn't act like it bothered him in the slightest!! I'll post pictures of the event soon!!

Happy Birthday Greyson

Yesterday was Greyson's 2nd birthday!! We had a wonderful day celebrating and can't believe that 2 years have gone by since our sweet little boy joined us. We started out the day with banana-chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, we made his birthday cake together, and then went to Chuck-E-Cheese's for dinner and fun (compliments of Papa)! It was so fun to see him enjoying the singing/dancing mouse and playing on the games and rides. We love you sweet boy!

38-30...WHOOP!!!

Jason and I were privileged to go to the A&M/t.u. game today and watch the Aggies beat the HELL outta t.u. We had a great time with our Aggie family that we have had season tickets with for 25 years. It was cold, but we bundled up and watched an AWESOME game!! Thanks mom and Jerry for watching the kids so we could go :)

Thanksgiving

What a great Thanksgiving we had!! We went to Houston and enjoyed a relaxing time together with my family. We woke up Thursday morning to beautiful crisp weather; the way it should feel on Thanksgiving Day! Of course we ate too much as everyone does but enjoyed every last bite. As I spent time with my family, I thought about how thankful I am for them. I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you...

I have the greatest husband in the world!! I love the fact that I get to spend each moment of life with my best friend. After almost 8 years of marriage I still get butterfies in my stomach when I am going to see him after we have been away from each other. I love that he "gets me" and knows what I am thinking without me even having to say it. He is a wonderful father to our 2 beautiful children. Speaking of our children, how blessed am I to be a mother. What a gift from the Lord it truly has been to have these little ones in my life. I always knew I would love being a mother but never knew I would love it this much! I love that I have a wonderful relationship with both my parents and my brother. I have realized that not everyone is as lucky to have good relationships with their family so it is something I strive hard not to take for granted.

I will leave you with some fun pictures from our day. I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving spending time with family and friends. Most of all I hope you had time to reflect on the many blessings that you have in your life!!

4 Months

Our baby girl was 4 months old on Sunday! Where has the time gone? We are having so much fun with her and enjoy the personality she has added to our family. She can sit in a Bumbo seat, loves to "talk", has the sweetest smiles, rolls from her tummy to her back, and I noticed today that she is starting to get her 1st tooth. As you can tell she is also a great eater! It's hard to believe that this time last year we were finding out that this sweet little thing would be joining our family in 9 months. At the time we wondered "how could this be?" and "what have we done?" but we wouldn't trade her for the world!!

THANKFUL!!!

It's that time of year to reflect upon the things in our life that we are thankful for!


Every day I am thankful for my husband and 2 beautiful children. I have really been thankful for how wonderful they are over that past 48 hours...Tuesday night I came down with the most horrible stomach virus I think I have ever had. So horrible, that I will spare you all the details :) Needless to say my dear sweet husband was there for me every step of the way nursing me back to health. Thankfully his job allows him flexibility so he was able to take Greyson to MDO yesterday and stay home to take care of me meanwhile tending to the kiddos. Thankfully the kids were wonderful for daddy while I was in bed trying to get better. I am happy to say that I am starting to feel like a normal person again!! I know it will take a couple days to return to 100%, but anything better is great!
