the “see you later” party

June 3, 2014celebrations, friends

our best friends have set on their way for their summer adventure! before they left they had a “see you later” bbq. it was just perfect! i told nadia… truth was i dreaded going because i didn’t want to say goodbye! i know it’s for a short time and i am so thankful for that. i am so so happy for them and their new adventures ahead! thank you for letting us play one last time together 🙂

we never get a picture with just us and our babies…

the more natural picture, trying to get sienna to get in our picture…

we finally get her and…. its blurry! well maybe we can try again at your welcome back party :). love you so much! take care of those sweet babies!

see you soon sister!

backyard barbeque

April 29, 2014friends

there is nothing else like it! richard recently got in touch with friends of ours and worked on getting us all back together. it has been quite a few years since we have all been together.

technically 10 kids ago 🙂

it was so much fun to catch up and watch these kids play! i really regret not stopping all of us to get a picture together. but i guess that means we just need to make this happen again…

i think the kids would have no problem playing together again 😉

xxoo

enjoy the little things …

April 29, 2014field trip, friends, kids

like family

friends

and ice cream!

it really is the best!

our attempt at blue bonnet pictures afterwards gave us many laughs. i am determined to go back but for now i had to share these. this is during their normal nap hour, so i would say we did pretty well boys! oh and girls…

{ we made sure jack and sienna got another photo session as well }

oh my too much for this mama!

good friday tradition

April 22, 2014friends

i was a little bit picture posting crazy on this last good friday. we carried on the tradition of praying for the unborn with our babies. we were so blessed to be able to go to confession that day too. i wish we could have taken pictures from the beginning of this tradition. these babies have grown up so beautiful and handsome 🙂

these babies are such a gift. that afternoon i think i enjoyed them more than ever. it was a beautiful day and we just enjoyed every bit of each other outside!

old friends are the best friends…

April 14, 2014celebrations, friends

not that thirty is old or anything 😉

this month has been a big birthday month! my best friend since i was only a year old turned thirty on april 3!

her sister gave her tickets to the astros vs. yankees game. they played the day of her birthday and we just happened to obsess over a certain player since we were both in our early teen years. obsess may be an understatement. this is his last year to play and it was my first time to see him play! what a fun night it was!

so many laughs that night, we felt like teenagers all over again 🙂

happy birthday stinks! yay for being the same age for just a month :/

party animals…

March 30, 2014celebrations, cousins, friends, kids

what a fun weekend you boys had! first weekend of really gorgeous spring weather and two great birthday parties!

saturday we celebrated cousin bailey’s 1 4 th birthday! i don’t know how that baby girl has grown up so fast! we sure do love her! she has always been such a big help to us and hands down, always has been the best go to for sweets galore 🙂 jack you weren’t ready to try out the skates just yet but you and samuel sure loved watching joshua and daddy go super fast. great music and a colorful room, samuel you were in awe!

sunday afternoon, we were invited to a zoo birthday party for our friends charlie and henry! what a great day for a birthday party! the weather couldn’t have been more perfect! both of you boys were so excited you didn’t even take a nap!

a zoo party isn’t complete without temporary tattoos of your favorite zoo animal 🙂 those were such a hit!

happy birthday to all these spring babies 🙂

xxoo

these days…

January 24, 2014friends, kids

are fun!

and they can be long when daddy is back at school. i am not a fan of the dog in the house. but lately she makes me feel a little more relaxed with the boys on those long days. it’s also cheap entertainment too!

we’ve been catching up with friends. big and little 🙂

god has such a sense of humor. i never thought i would have a blonde hair blue eyed child. i’m kind of still in disbelief that i do. these two pictures i got had me giggling at how much they kind of look a like. oh that hair!
