Planting our garden!

This year, we decided to plant a small garden. The kids are so excited and picked out watermelons, pumpkins, squash, cucumber, zucchini, beans, carrots and sunflowers (can you guess who pick those out).  We love watching our garden grow, and can't wait for some home grown veggies in a few months!



Gone Fishing

Nick has always loved to go fishing!  When he was little his dad would take him often, and he is so excited he get's to now take his babies fishing too!  I remember when we were in college, we would head out on the boat...him with his fishing gear, me with my pillow/book and spend all day out on the water.  They are some of my favorite memories!

We had a beautiful spring day, so we loaded up the kids and headed to Lake Jackson.  Both kids caught a few fish so they were super excited! 



Father Daughter Dance

Saturday night was an event at Ava's school that she (and Nick) looks forward to every year! The TSS Father Daughter Dance!  I'm lucky enough to be on the planning committee, so I get to be there to take pics of all the beautiful little girls and their "good sport" daddy's dancing the night away.  I do have so say it's one of the sweetest things to watch!

My sweet girl all ready for the Dance!

 Daddy even got her a pretty wrist corsage.  She said "Daddy is it real?  It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."  Who knew a $20 surprise would mean to so much!

 Two of my loves...the littlest love headed to his Mimi and Papa's house for the weekend!

 Dancing the night away with her friends! So fun to watch the excitement of the sweet girls when their favorite songs were played by the DJ.

 The Dads were the BEST sports!

 The end of the night...and the excitement had not worn off!

 So sweet :)  Makes my heart smile!

 No dance would be complete without a conga line!

Ice Skating with Friends

 We are very blessed to have some great friends live close by. We always love doing something fun with the Durden family.  We planned a date after Christmas to meet at Centennial Olympic Park for Ice Skating then dinner at Felini's Pizza!

My handsome boys waiting to go skating.

 Pretty little lady!

 Four of the sweetest kiddos ever!

 Daddy was a little apprehensive...but he kept up with BB just fine!

 She looks a little scared here, but she had the best time!

Getting ready to leave!  Everyone was tired and hungry!

These two are the sweetest friends and always have fun together!

We cant' wait until our next little adventure with the Durden's!

Christmas Day with The Morrows!

After breakfast, we headed over to Granny and Pop's house for another fun day!  We had a yummy meal, opened up presents and had fun together.

Uncle Nick loves Landen!

Happy Birthday JESUS!

Christmas Morning we woke up to find that Santa had come!

 Of course, Ava was awake...but our sleepy head was snug in his bed and we had to eventually wake him up about 8:30.

 Santa's handprints on the table...

 Two excited kiddos!

 Hey....is that a CARS bike?

 My pretty Angel Girl!

 She only asked for 3 things, and was super excited to find out that Santa got her biggest request an ipod touch!

 Precious boy, still kind of tired.

 Dads doing...

We had a yummy breakfast, sang happy birthday to Jesus, got dressed and headed for another fun day at Granny and Pops!
