fall season came quickly with all the activites. it was a great season overall. the boys were able to play football with classmates and neighborhood friends. this league they play in has been such a blessing. rugby was fun as always for daddy. no injuries so im a happy mama. we enjoyed a few games before baby sister shows up! the teammates he has are amazing.
our fall birthday bash for the boys turned into a weekend surprise for them instead.
we took a road trip to take the boys to see dude perfect with their cousins in oklahoma. i’m not sure who had more fun, the boys or us mamas. it was so much fun. we would do it all over again if we could. the smile on these sweet boys faces just made me melt. the little girls were in heaven just playing together at the house. icing on the cake for maximilian was hanging out with the college kids in dallas not only on the way up to oklahoma but also on the way back home. this pregnant mama couldnt make the long drive home 😬
i love watching your relationships with your cousins get stronger and stronger. you kids are so blessed to have them.
we had an early birthday for you miss anna kate! your cousins were at granny’s so we jumped on the opportunity to celebrate with them. i am so glad we did. it was so much fun to watch you enjoy every bit of this party time with them. you enjoyed pizza, cake, ice cream and presents! erika and bailey gave everyone a kitty face that was purrr-fect. we enjoyed watching watching aristocats afterwards and relaxing ….
this kitty cake could not have happened with out danas amazing cookie skills 🤗
we love you anna kate and we are so glad you were able to celebrate with your cousins! how are we celebrating t h r e e already ?!

a quick trip back allowed us to let samuel go see dr. musgrove. what a way to kick off summer, he had a great report and won’t go back for a whole year! praise God!
we were so happy to be there for you bailey! to celebrate the whole weekend and to kick off our summer with the family! you did it!

and boy was it intense.
waiting for the weather to warm up, baseball season, two teams, taekwondo, a new pair of kittens, a trip back home for spring break and a beautiful easter season… daddy and i quickly learned how to multi task and to appreciate the simple life. 🙂 it was a fun semester but a little too busy for this family. we are so proud of all we accomplished this semester especially our boys, way to go! by the way, your sister deserves an award for best support 🙂

well another triple birthday party was a blast. everything was awesome turning five, seven and ten!
time just flies by with these sweet boys!
we love celebrating you boys and especially when we get to do it with family!
happy birthday boys!

from your football game to more football games in the gattiland room … you had a football themed birthday again. 😜 and after gattiland, we came home to more Sunday afternoon football and your choice of hamburgers and chips.
this was the most excited you have ever been during your birthday. jack anthony, seven looks good on you!

and the very best kind….
we tried to entertain them the best we could in west texas. but it turns out the most fun we had were the laughs we got out of all of it. love this family to the moon and back! thanks for making the long haul to get here! memorial day weekend {2017} is in the books for now ….
here’s to our first summer out here…

what an awesome opportunity God gave us this past holy week and easter weekend! our cousins in kc participated in family missions and invited us to join them! it was a very busy weekend but oh my goodness so beautiful! the families were able to clean up the church grounds, visit the near by nursing home and assisted living and also collect canned goods during door to door missions. we celebrated easter vigil mass with many tired babies in our two rows at church but it was so worth it. easter sunday was not like the ones we had celebrated before. we enjoyed taking our time throughout the day and watching the kids play together. we ate a very late easter lunch and it made for the best memories! thank you kindle and kent for hosting us and letting us take part in such a special event at your parish.
also thank you to holly and travis for letting us enjoy a nights stay {and more cousin play} at your house on the way back. otherwise i don’t know how well i could have done that drive home…
xxoo
