the cousins had samuel workin on his “dab”
we are so excited for joshua!
so thankful for our time with family and for these beautiful sacraments that help us grow in our faith!

{nine is fine}
anna kate frances is nine months! i told daddy today this has got to be one of my favorite ages…
so lovey and starting to get a little more brave with her every move…
little ak, at nine months you have six teeth making more and more of an appearance every day with four more coming through as well! you love showing us how big you are. you are a skilled crawler and pick up quite the speed when you hear us running bath water. you climb up on everything {window seals included}. you love music. love. it. baby kangaroo is your theme song. you are getting more excited about trying new foods. unfortunately, we are seeing you break out with almost everything you eat when we are out and about. you are entertained by the brothers, a mama’s girl and you have daddy wrapped around your finger. this is going to be a fun summer ahead watching you grow and explore. stay as sweet as you are baby girl and keep dancing!
we love you to pieces anna kate!

the season is still on…

girls just wanna have fun…
and we sure did! this weekend anna kate and i went out to help throw a surprise party for two of her cousins.
dana sent the picture of anna kate and me to bailey and erika telling them to come out to gramps and granny’s house because i had “surprised” her with a visit. little did they know that there was really a bigger surprise for them just to the side of me in that picture. the best part was erika thought she knew all about this “surprise party” for bailey…. little did she know it was actually for her too!
{this was an awesome group of kids}

love this family so much! they know how to have a fun time! 🙂
happiest birthday to erika and bailey! it was so much fun celebrating you with your wonderful family and friends.
on the way home, i’m pretty sure ak told me she wants to be like you when she grows up 😉

reminds me of…
the one i love… deep in the heart of texas.
when you realize your neighbors have an amazing corner of bluebonnets, you take an evening stroll all dressed up… oh, and you happen to have your camera 😉

good game…
another ball game weekend in the books. the weather couldn’t be more perfect here. and our player got to play catcher for the first time. to say he was excited would be an understatement.
jack, we are so proud of you and daddy’s hard work this season! here’s to many more fun games!

{eight months}
anna kate frances, my little love,
this month you are a go getter. from perfecting a speedy crawl to pulling up on almost everything, you are our own little dora the explorer.
you are still in our room. i don’t know why i’m having such a hard time moving you out. i think i may be in denial of how big you are getting. you are eating a little at every meal now and loving it. you are starting to just fall asleep on me for your naps. you love giving kisses.. you always have your mouth open when you are excited. you are cutting the top four teeth now, which i think made you feel so cruddy the last month along with getting a mild case of bronchitis. you still love anything with a tag and all your paci friends…. you are everybody’s favorite. happy eight months anna kate. we love you baby girl!

{okay these pictures just make me want to go scoop you up from your sleep …:) }
oh girl …
you can thank your teenage cousins for your style…
