Easter

We had such a fun Easter weekend this year. I was reminded all weekend how very different this Easter was from last year, but how very grateful I am as well!

Hadley and I continued our tradition of baking cookies for the holiday. As usual, he helped roll and cut out about four cookies before he was done and ready to decorate. And as usual, I had to remind him that there are a few steps, and some waiting before we get to do the "fun part" of icing and decorating (and of course eating!).

After going to church on Saturday evening, we went to Karah and Doug's house in Burleson on Sunday for a yummy lunch and Easter egg hunting. Hadley is an expert at the egg hunt, but was also very sweet and helpful to Griffin this year. Her favorite part was playing with the empty eggs once they were found. (It's the little things!)

Happy Easter! He is risen!!

Christmas 2014

We have had a good time celebrating Griffin's first Christmas.

Christmas Eve we opened presents at home before we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. After the service, we loaded up and headed to Quanah. Since we were not going to be home for Santa, we sent a note with Bubbles with elf letting Santa know he could just leave our stuff and we would get it when we returned home. (I sure hope he got the message!)

Christmas morning Santa brought a few things for Hadley to Mimi's house, and then we opened presents. I think Griffin had more fun with the paper and bows than anything else!

We have had a good break from work and school so far. Tomorrow is my birthday (38!), and then we will celebrate the new year next week. Time is going by so quickly, so we are trying to soak up every moment we can with our precious kiddos!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a ninja turtle (Michelangelo to be exact) and a cute little girl (no costume required!).

Pumpkin Patch

***Old post - catching up***

Saturday (Oct. 26) we made our yearly trek to the Pumpkin Patch. This year was a little different since we had our newest "little pumpkin" with us! (And because it was close to 90 degrees outside!) Pictures were a bit of a challenge, but still we still had a fun time.

Halloween 2013

Halloween is not really a big deal at our house, but we do let Hadley pick his costume and trick or treat a little. Lately he is totally into super heros, so his choice was Spiderman.

Checking out his goodies!

Pumpkin Patch 2013

Sunday afternoon we made our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. (Warning: picture overload to follow.)

Texas Rangers

Last Thursday (July 4th) we went to a Texas Rangers ball game (Hadley's first!). An added bonus was that my brother Tim and his family (Dina, Bailey, Emma, & Seaver) were at the game as well. Hadley and Seaver had fun together. Then, on Friday, they all came to our house for the night. We had fun at the pool, showed them around the big city (ha!), stayed up way too late playing games, and took the boys to see Despicable Me 2 (super cute movie!). Fun couple days.
