Back in March, we took our annual trip to the Walker County Fair and Rodeo. Braylon did Mutton Bustin' again, and placed in the top 10 for his age bracket. We rode rides, ate some typical fair food, and enjoyed a bit of the rodeo for as long as the kids would cooperate (which is never as long as we want them to).
Braylon and Wyatt's cousins came into town for a couple days, and we had so much fun!! We went to the Houston Zoo, the Sam Houston Statue, and caught an SHSU baseball game.
Back in February, we had the joy of witnessing Dane Dobraski, one of Brad's closest friends, get married to Michaelanne. They asked Wyatt to be the ring bearer and it was too cute! We had a great time with friends and family!
The weekend of my 33rd birthday, I did as I usually do, nothing out of the ordinary. I got up and had my coffee, and made plans to get chores done around the house and grocery shop. But before I could even get a shower, Darlene (aka Gramma Dar) came through the back door with sweet Brad following. My first thought was, "Geez, why didn't you tell me your mom was coming? I'm a hot mess." Then he said, "Go pack a bag! We're going to Lake Charles for your birthday!" I said, "Are you serious?" And so began a trip I'll never forget. Just for Brad to plan something that is not his cup of tea, and get out of his comfort zone all for me, was something so endearing and special to me. How did I get so lucky?!? We had the best time gambling at the Golden Nugget, eating out, and sleeping in! It was a birthday I will never forget! I'm so grateful for the time with Brad and the effort he put into surprising me!
I also got to celebrate with my mom and sister! We had a good time eating at Fajita Jack's on Lake Conroe.
I'm trying to catch up on my blog posts, but a lot of my photos have been uploaded to Snapfish already. Christmas had a lot more to it then these two pictures...
This is Braylon at our church nativity scene. They went up on stage in front of the whole church! It's sad I couldn't remember what we did for Christmas until I started looking back at photos. Thank goodness for pictures to bring back memories...and all the more reason to keep up with this here blog ;)

| Braylon was "Texan of the Week." His teacher picks someone every week for good behavior, and they get to take this stuffed bull home for the weekend. This was him after school on Friday with his best bud, M.J. |

| I recently took a short trip to California to visit my sweet friend, Hayley. They just moved there and I had the best time exploring Cali with her. |
