Linsey/Jordans Wedding

Grand kids at the Texas Party Friday night.
We stayed the night and got ready at a Hotel. We laughed until 4 in the morning. Best night I've had in a really long time. I love my sister and sister-in-laws. Girls night out was the perfect way to start the wedding weekend.

This was at the end of the reception. Gavin's tux was a bit big and somehow he got his shirt and tie off

Bridesmaids

We worked on this candy bar for months. It was our baby, and turned out perfect!!!!
If he wasn't holding flowers he wasn't a happy camper. Don't even think about exchanging those flowers for a ring bear pillow. Trust me, it doesn't go over too well. :)
This cake was amazing. I would love to have a piece right now!!!!


My CUTE family. I love these two boys

There is NO Way we could have pulled this weekend off without KP. She is amazing

Wow!!!! Have we really been married 8 years?!?! CRAZY


The Wedding was PERFECT in every way!!!! We had so much fun. These are just a few of the pictures. SOOOO many to choose from. I picked some of my favorites. Enjoy!!!! Ps. There are a ton more pictures on my facebook page.

Family Fun

All of my family came in for Linsey's wedding. We had so much fun. I love being around my Family. It pretty much is a hobby for me. If someone asked me what I wanted to do, I'd say, "go visit family." I know that makes me kind of boring, but that's just me. I love the craziness, late night talks, trying to fit every little fun thing in, and being around nieces and nephews. So, not only did we have Linsey's wedding weekend( which was perfect, and I'll blog about once we get pictures), but we also went swimming, to six flags, Burger's Lake, and the Circus. We know how to cram it all in don't we? I think we all got a total of 25 hours of sleep that week. So exhausting, but worth every single memory. Of course Gavin is in hog heaven with all of his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins to play with. I thoroughly enjoy watching Gavin build relationships with some of my favorite people. The time went by way too fast, and I can't wait til Christmas when we are back together, laughing until we cry.

It was sooooo HOT at Six Flags. The kids were troopers



Gavin rode every ride he could. Although he and Brylee were a little nervous about this one
The baby elephants were my favorite part
Nothin but trouble

Thank you Nana and Papa(who was home taking care of Hailey after jaw surgery.) We loved the circus


Burgers Lake- I could just eat her. Look at those legs.

Watching Fireworks

We had a great weekend. Jordan came to see us (Linsey) for the 4th so we planned it big. Hurricane Harbor, Fireworks, Transformers, and more wedding planning. Gavin loved the fireworks this year. Although it was way too HOT, we loved every minute. PS. I know Gavin is in every picture, I just can't help it. :)

Potty training blues

First off, Gavin is doing great with potty training. He has had a few accidents, like on the counter at the movie's when I was buying him some candy. Embarrassing is an understatement!!!!! For the most part though he runs up to me and says, "momma momma pee pee in the potty." He goes everywhere in underwear, and is becoming a pro. The "blues" refers to me. I hate it!! Yes, I'm glad to be done with diapers, but there are a few things I hate. One, all the potty talk. I can't stand talking about #1 or #2 all day long. Asking him if he has to go, making him go, or doing a potty dance when he does. Two, that for the most part he runs around the house in underwear or wants to be naked. At times layers are way too hard for a two year old to pull down to make it to the potty. I prefer my child to be dressed, but lately he looks like a ragamuffin. Oh well. In no time he will run and go all by himself and I won't even know it. (Can't wait)
At least it's still a cute booty. I just want to pitch it
After it rained one night Gavin wanted to go outside and play in the mud. (One of his favorite things to do). It worked great with potty training. I went out to get a couple of pictures of him covered in mud and he felt the need to show me around the backyard. Like it was my first time out there. First he cooked me breakfast.

"Eggs Momma"

"Momma, make-up on" I miss the days when he called make-up "oh pretty"


"Momma pow-pow" Oh, you didn't know that everything can be turned into a gun?!?!
"Hold you Momma, Hold you." Yes he means "hold me." I love that he says it wrong.
