Recent Happenings


Playing at the public library while Momma picked out books

Playdate at Gunner and Kannon's house. Kannon is Wyatt's age, Gunner is Braylon's age. And our little flower, Maddie, definitely brightened up this patch of weeds ;)

Movie and popcorn time!

Braylon playing pitcher. It's a good thing they make them wear a protective vest and helmet, because Braylon was in La-La Land.

The "Squirrel whisperer" at work.

Lufkin Zoo

We went to the Lufkin zoo with friends last Friday and the kids had a blast. It is a small zoo, but it's nice for the kids to be able to walk (run) around and get up close and personal to the animals.







Crosby, Braylon and Gunner riding the train.

Benjamin and Wyatt checkin out the flamingos


After short naps during the car ride home from the zoo, we decided to cool off in the sprinkler.

Girls Getaway

This past weekend my friends and I planned a trip to the J.W. Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio. The resort was very nice, and would even be really fun to go back as a family, as there's lots of activities planned for kids! We all enjoyed shopping, laying by the pool, getting dressed up, eating out, and of course, lots of conversation and unforgettable moments! It was a little bittersweet since one of my best friends, Hayley, is moving to Kansas in three weeks. But what a way to celebrate our friendship and get to know each other on a deeper level. I left the trip feeling relaxed and so blessed to have these wonderful, Godly women in my life! 

The boys were spoiled by Nana and Papa all weekend, and Brad got a lot of cleanup done around the property. We all enjoyed our time but were ready to have our family back together. 

This was during dinner our last night at the resort. It was so delicious and they even brought us blankets so we could sit outside by the fire. Left to Right- Lauren, me, Rachel, Angela, Leigh, Hayley

Rachel, Angela, myself, and Lauren at the pool while Hayley was at the spa, and Kathy, Abby, and Janet were at the Mexican Market to shop. 

The main pool. There were two other pools, slides, a lazy river, and a hot tub.

Hayley and I

She was cracking me up trying to get under my big, floppy hat.

Our balcony looked out over the golf course and hill country.

Abby, myself, Janet, and Kathy hanging out downstairs the first night. They had live music playing and we stayed cozy by one of the indoor fireplaces.

Wyatt Knows How to Say His Name Now

He can say "Braylon," now also.

Park Day

The recent, chaotic storms left our yard a big mess, so we decided to go to the park. Hopefully soon we will have our playscape fixed, trampoline replaced, and our home back to normal. Nonetheless, we had a great time at the park!
