happy 6 years!

Blake- I am so thankful that God brought you into my life at the ripe old age of 12 :)

I really couldn't imagine life without you.

You are my best friend.

Thank you for being the best daddy to Emery Kate & Molly.

Thank you for loving me well.

So thankful for our family and friends who make life even better!
I wanted to add this picture of Jordan as I am excited about starting Elevate (a discpleship training school which jordan& christy are helping to lead) next week with you. I am so thankful to have a husband who wants to grow in the Lord with me and lead our family. I can't wait to see what God will teach us through it. I know we will have to sacrifice and it will be hard... but I also know that is what the Christian journey is about.

i have loved every year even more with you.

happy 6 years!

i love you, blaker

EK's first day of school

Emery Kate had her first day of mother's day out today. Last night she told blake that tomorrow she had school, was going to wear her backpack and it would be fun. So cute. She was walking so confidently into the church, wouldn't even hold my hand (tear), and only started crying when we got to the room and she found out Molly wasn't going too. How sweet is she.
\the backpack looks so HUGE on her. Blake met us for some fro yo after school. I love this picture of them.

I really enjoyed having Molly all to myself and it is a LOT easier running errands with one child. Sweet molly just went with the flow b/c the pick up times kind of interfere with naps.

happy thursday!

compare?

my dad emailed me some of these pics he found recently. He says that seeing Emery kate brings him flashbacks of me at that age although most people think she looks like Blake. I am starting to think she does look more like me and Molly is more like Blake. It's fun to compare at least! And I'm having fun using photbucket and making collages! So you may see a lot of these :)

blake's favorite place on earth

conlee family reunion

we had a fun conlee reunion this year in Hunt, Texas on the Guadalupe river. The weather was a breath of fresh air! It actually got in the 70s at night and RAINED while we were there. it was FABULOUS!!! Blake took EK and Hudson out on the canoe. And there was a shoot coming off the dam of the river that people could go down on rafts so Blake took EK against her will. She was NOT a fan even though it was super fun!
"the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul." Ps 23

the place had a fun playset that we spent the majority of our day at
LOVE this pic

the lighting was perfect at the park so i had some fun taking pics of the girls

Emery Kate is loving the ipad right now.

her first pinata

it was a fun time with Blake's extended family and I extremely enjoyed the weather. Blake and I even got to play a game of tennis which was fun!

hallie jane sudan

sweet hallie jane entered the world August 3rd (at 35 weeks)...she was 5 lbs 13 oz and is PRECIOUS! i mean how could she not be with jason & al as parents. it's also AMAZING b/c when alex was first pregnant they though she had miscarried and the heart wasn't beating and then she went back for a final sono to evaluate the day after molly was born and she was alive and well. a miracle baby for sure. Thank you Jesus!
alex is super momma and pushed her out in 10 minutes ( i mean, really? how come it takes me 3+ hours and a cesarean)

Emery Kate really liked holding her. she is pumped to have another girl cousin she can "lead" :)

and I am excited to have another neice!

Jason & Alex have been such a good aunt and uncle to my girls I am so excited to see them as parents. We are blessed.

sorry i've been missing in action in the blog world. I have a few posts to do. Last saturday (the 30th) was my dad's 56th bday. We met him in Hillsboro sunday night for a bday dinner. So instead of making the bday dinner about him he had prayed for specific words for each of his children & their spouses. amazing, huh? Click here for his blog so you can read it. He also told us that he feels like the Lord has told him that to four generations in our family everyone will be believers and that each generation will be rooted deeper and stronger in the Word. What an amazing word from the Lord to receive. It makes me even more want to make sure I am teaching Emery Kate and Molly biblical truths and principals early on. I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do in their lives.
love this of mom & molls

my sweet parents...don't they look so young to be 56!
