Arboretum Play Date

This past Friday, we joined Paula and Bryce for a fun play date at the Arboretum!  It was a lot of fun!  The boys always have a great time together.  They had so much fun that they both crashed hard that afternoon for extra long naps!Mothers Day 2012-05-13 109 Boys and water – just too hard to resist.Mothers Day 2012-05-13 111
There is an amazing exhibit there right now.  They have these awesome glass statutes all throughout the park.  Made it even more interesting to walk around.

Mother’s Day

Mothers Day 2012-05-13 011 On Sunday, we celebrated Mother’s Day with Kevin’s family out at a park in Rockwall.  It was really nice and lovely and we didn’t have to fight crowds at a restaurant!  Celebrating mother’s day is special for so many reasons.  It is great to stop and celebrate our own mothers/grandmothers.  We have truly been blessed in that area.  It is also nice to stop and really think about what a blessing it is to be able to be a mother myself.  I know it is not a given and it is a true blessing.  I am so thankful to be a mommy to Will and can’t wait to be one to Kendall.Mothers Day 2012-05-13 066Will ended up with quite a doozy of an “owie” on his head.  He was running like he always does and ended up head first on some concrete.  Ouch. Luckily these ducks were close by and a good distraction from the fall!  He really enjoyed feeding these little guys.Mothers Day 2012-05-13 079 Mothers Day 2012-05-13 088
On Monday night, Will and I took my mom to dinner (but no pics).  We are so thankful for our amazing moms!!  Thanks for loving us and our little boy.  We appreciate all you do for us and the time we spend with you.  We hope you feel loved and appreciated!

Sweet Cousins

Kevin’s other sister Kellie and her husband Nick came to celebrate the graduation, as well.  That meant Will and I FINALLY got to meet sweet baby Jackson in person!!  We had been left out!  We really enjoyed getting to see him and spend some time with him.  He’s a sweet, precious boy and Will loved him instantly!  We hope to spend a lot more time with this cute kiddo!Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 096 Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 100

Congrats Kayse!

Last weekend Kevin’s little sister, Kayse, graduated from OU!  We are so very proud of her!  I even sucked it up and was a good sport about attending an OU event.  :)  We were very excited to celebrate this big milestone with all of Kevin’s family.  Kayse we wish you the best in all your future endeavors!  We are so proud of you for how far you’ve come and can’t wait to see what the future holds!  I got a few pics (of course).  Kayse is the one standing infront of the green backdrop getting her official pic taken right before she gets her diploma.Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 028 Below I caught her on the big screen!  I had a pic of me on the big screen at Tech and thought I would see if I could catch her, too.Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 029 The graduate and her family!!  Way to go Kayse!!Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 078 Kayse's Graduation 2012-05-11 041

Sleeping prince

Caught this sweet moment tonight. Things to note: sweaty head (every night). One hand on the blankie tag (also a regular sight, holding must sooth him). And he's been asleep for over an hour and he is still holding onto the bug catcher toy that came in his kids meal - ha! Love this boy so much! Makes me want to crawl in with him!

Great Grandparents!

Will's great grandparents are here from Florida for Kayse's graduation! Will hasn't seen them in a year but bonded with them again in no time! Love these sweet pics of him with them last night. Sweet memories!
