Galveston Trip

The girls had their first trip to the beach.  Aunt Katie, Uncle Doug, Gingy, and Coach took the girls to Galveston last weekend.  They had such a good time being chased by the waves, eating ice cream and soaking up all the attention.  Jordan and I were thankful for another weekend being kidless.  

I think from the smiles you can tell they were having a blast

Addison said she found the perfect table for her and Landry.  Just their size.

Love Him

The honey and I got a night out.  It feels like it's been forever.  We definitely enjoy it when we do get a chance.  The crazy thing is that we went to Capital Grille in Plano and as they were leading us to our seats they congratulated us on our anniversary (our anniversary is in July).  I thought okay, not sure what this is all about but I'll go with it.  Sometimes Jordan is silly like that and acts like it is.  We sat down to a decorated table and a red stem rose with champagne and a free dessert.  The night was perfect.  The thing is, he didn't call and I didn't call either to say that it was our anniversary.  We're pretty sure that we got sat at the wrong table.  

So after a few drinks before dinner at the Blue Martini and a wonderful dinner at Capital Grille we made our way home to do what you ask????  Sit on the couch and watch YouTube videos of old country songs and sing our hearts out.  Makes us feel young and old all at the same time.  

I feel more blessed with each year that I am married to his man.  He completes me in every way and makes me a better person.  He is unselfish and is constantly putting his family first.  May we continue to watch YouTube videos and sing our hearts out together as we get older.  I will always cherish my marriage and whom God chose for me. 

They Make My Heart Smile

I had a lot of random pictures on my phone, so I thought instead of having a post for every picture I decided just to put them all together.

 Who needs toys when you have a box?

 One of the ladies braided Landry's hair.  This was key in her staying still for her nails to dry.

 Watching kids play in water puddles never gets old.

 The girls are really into playing dress up lately

One day Jordan and the girls met me at a park while I was running.  On the way back, Landry decided she wanted to run back home with me.  She hung in there really well.  After about a quarter of a mile, I put her in the van.  My mins/mile definitely went up.

Happy New Year 2014

We rang in the new year with sparklers (limited in the city) and the girls loved them.  They both took $1 out of their piggy banks and went and bought sparklers.  

With the girls tucked into bed before midnight (9:00p), Jordan and I rang in the new year with a glass of wine and bedtime of 11:00p.  It doesn't get much better than this.  Love my little family and am excited to see what 2014 holds.

Lufkin, TX Christmas 2013

In order for us to celebrate Christmas with Mimi and Banky (Jordan's grandparents), we have to now go to Lufkin to see them.  Fortunately the girls were used to an assisted living facility with going to see Nana in the past, so they acted like they knew exactly what to do.  

Katie and I put together a photo book for Mimi and Banky to look at for their Christmas gift.  They loved see all the new and old pictures.

 Landry took to a liking to Banky and showing him all her toys that she got for Christmas.  I can only hope that this moment made his heart smile and made his days that much brighter.

Griffin Christmas 2013

 Once Santa gifts were open, we headed to Gingy and Coach's house to celebrate Christmas with the Griffin family.  The girls absolutely loved their gifts and getting to hang out with all their aunts and uncles and cousin.  The food filled out tummies and the laughter filled out hearts and souls.  You always know you're going to get some good laughs.
