catechesis of the good shepherd

October 19, 2017kids

along with the other activities we have this fall im excited to share this is jacks fourth year in catechesis of the good shepherd and samuels second. after all these years of falling in love with this program i finally am able to step in it myself.

{anna kate has visited a few times but i think next year will be great for her} 🤗

i was so excited to snap a few photos of what goes on in our atrium! the Holy Spirit is truly at work in here. i am so thankful God has given us the opportunity to be a part of it again.

daddy thirty -three {let’s go camping!}

October 19, 2017celebrations, dada, kids, sister, vacation

we surprised daddy with a wolverine party, a huge spicy hamburger and tons of legos to build for his birthday this year.

what would we do without him! so grateful for another birthday with him and all the new adventures we take together. we left the following weekend for a birthday in a cabin in new mexico. it was a great break from the intense heat in west texas. we also just loved getting away from the norm too! it was so much fun and so good for all of us to enjoy new scenery together.

happy birthday

{and any more!! as samuel says 🤗}

you are getting so big so fast. our baby boy! you have always kept up with jack and it seems more apparent these days just how “you” you are. you love using your imagination and playing games. you love getting messy without even meaning to. you are always thinking. you can be very caring at the best times. deep down i think you really do always think of others first. you are shy to try new things and very proud of yourself once you do it. we love who you are samuel. you are one awesome kid. now stop growing up so fast please!!

August 5, 2017kids

oh boy do we love this girl. thank you to everyone who celebrated her 2nd birthday with us. this girl is a hoot. at two years old she keeps us busy with running off to explore and be very independent. she demands music all the time. her loves right now are moanna, trolls and chic fi la. she also really loves her family and we are so happy about that because we love her more than words can say. happiest birthday party to you sweet girl. you are the best.

vbs 2017

August 1, 2017kids

we were so excited and a little nervous to have our very own vacation bible school with our cousins. it was exhausting as well as a blast just like the ones at church! granny ordered pieces to the one they were having at our church. since it’s the 100th year anniversary of Fatima the kids hopped on the Queen of Heaven Express and tracked Mary all over the world. it was such a fun time and a vbs the kids will remember for sure!

happy fourth! {2017}

July 5, 2017{photography}, celebrations, firsts

it’s been such a fun summer. i can’t believe this weekend has already come and gone… we kept it simple and stayed in. we made lots of yummy food, had lots of dance parties and watched a few storms pass through. the boys declared this was “the best day ever.” they are so awesome…

having a blast every. single. minute.

the ol’ frio trip { summer 2017 }

June 19, 2017{photography}, firsts, friends, kids, vacation

so with the extra far move away from best friends last summer, we made the best of a mini vacation. there’s no reason for them to travel all the way here to us. so we figured out a way to both get a mini vacation with traveling about the same distance. and we actually did it! we headed down to concan for a three night stay. there was lots of sunshine, lots of splashing and of course lots of fun with our babies 🙂
