San Antonio

we had a wedding this weekend in San Antonio for a friend from Waco. We made it a mini vacation and stayed at a fabulous hotel...the Westin La cantera resort. It was awesome! The Ogdens were there and we had a great time! I got some pics at the hotel but at the wedding I was too busy chasing the kids to get pics! The hotel had a one mile nature trail that we took the kids on. They were so cute at first. EK was holding Jayden's hand first then she moved to Duncan. She LOVES her cousins. it is really the sweetest thing.
then she held her momma's hand too!

The hotel had the best pools for kids...

Molly was amazing the entire trip. She is the most content and happy little thing. I adore her.

look at those cheeks!

just hanging in the water

On the way home we stopped by Lake McQueeney b/c it was Blake's vacation spot all growing up and he LOVES this place. He hadn't been in years and wanted us to see it.

we ate some ice cream while there

it was neat b/c everything was right next to the water...i can see how it is such a fun lodge to stay at.

Ok how big does emery kate look with me holding her. I mean I look like a 9 year old :)

it really was a fun weekend...just a REALLY long drive home!

what we've been up to

so my computer got a virus and I am so behind on blogging... here are some random pics from lately. We had dinner with some family at Matt's out on the patio. I feel like Molly looks so old in this picture. Emery Kate liked the Bob Armstrong dip so much she decided to forego chips and eat it with her spoon!
Blake's brother's bday was last weekend and they were up here so they got to stay with us! This is our sister in law Carrie and niece Camryn.

All of her cousins on Blake's side are older than her and I felt like this weekend she was really able to play with them. It kind of made me sad that she really isn't my little baby anymore. I do love seeing her have fun with her cousins though!

It is HOT here in Dallas and tuesday night Blake turned on the sprinklers and let EK run around in her clothes.She loved it...i have a feeling we will be doing a lot of this.

and a lot of the neighborhood spray park! LOVE it. Brilliant idea who ever thought of these things!

Molly and EK watching Dora in the morning. I mean look at Moll's hair.

A couple weeks ago we went to Fort Worth to see my friend Kelli and her daughter Anna who is only two weeks younger than emery kate. we went to the Zoo. It was really fun. I had only been once and not since EK was born. She was all smiles!

So was Molly

"Una" and EK

happy weekend!

Ten Year Reunion!

That's right...Blake and I had our ten year high school reunion last weekend. I was class president so I had the pleasure of planning it :)
It really was a great time!
We started the day with a picnic lunch at the school and a tour of the campus. They have changed a lot since we left.
EK was making herself at home with the lockers.
Funny fact about our school: The Davidians used to own our school and this clock is in one of the buildings and supposedly to them has something to do with the end of time. These are the davidians that the Branch Davidians came from...interesting, huh? They restored that building this year and of course kept the clock for history's sake.

Vanguard is getting football next year! Go vikings!

the group that came to the picnic lunch

EK enjoyed playing bball in our old gym...will she be a basketball star one day? Who knows! Her mama sure wasn't but her daddy was good!

our basketball team...good times!

That night we had dinner at the Lake Brazos Steakhouse. It was really fun. I made pinwheels that I learned from my sweet friend lauren. I put them on pencils that was my sweet friend kelli's idea and put flowers and hung pics all around. It turned out cute!

my high school sweetheart! i.am.blessed.

i forgot to mention...our class was small..about 40 people!

my best friend from school Rachel was there...i was so happy to see her! It would not have felt like a reunion without her there b/c I would not have made it through school without her! love you rach!

the boat

We went to the lakehouse this weekend and got to ride the boat for the first time. It was a blast. Emery Kate loved it! Is this picture not hysterical? Such the model in her shades.
Blake got the dock all fixed up so the boat has a home!

sweet Molly in her suit

we went on a walk on friday at the lake and molly sat in the stroller like a big girl for the first time...i think she liked it (usually she is in the car seat attachment)

umm..too cute

Molls & Coach

sweet Campbell

the sweetest cousins....I mean, really?

Jordan & Dunc...they definitely look like father and son!

what a fun weekend!

I love you so much! you bring SO much joy to your daddy and I each day!

Thank you for your excitement about life....it is amazing.

Thank you for being the BEST big sister to Molly...she is so blessed!

I love how each day you are learning new words and we are able to communicate so well...I hope we are close for all of our days together on earth!

I love how you crawl in bed with us in the middle of the night and take up my whole side of the bed...even though I am hanging on the edge, I do love it.

I love that you like to be on the run all day like your momma...if we have been home for awhile you say "mommy, let's go!"

I love ALL of your expressions.

I love your dimple.

your smile.

I love you.
