Mommy and Me

Our Maggiedoodle...always smiling! She captured our hearts even before she was born!

Bowling for Big Brothers/Big Sisters

Aaron's cousin Mark asked us to go bowling for Big Brothers/Big Sisters this past weekend. We have always enjoyed it and we thought the kids would too. Trinity was usually pretty excited, but by the 2nd game, she was more interested in just running around and dancing. Eli bowled once and that was plenty for him!

There was a car there that 'wiggled'...2 quarters and it went for about 5 minutes!! The kids loved it!

A big hug from big sister

We tried to take a family picture- you see how well that worked! Eli wanted more to drink and Trinity was being shy- oh well!

A Month Full of Happenings!!

Whew- I can't believe it's been a month since I've last updated- I've had the best of intentions, but time kept getting away from me! Today, the kids are both napping so I'm taking the chance while I can! Hope you enjoy the happenings of September!

Mommy & Eli- all smiles!

Trinity & Eli were full of giggles when Trinity was pushing him around the house in the truck.

I turned 30, yes 30, this month. One of the absolute highlights of my birthday came from my nieces, Brylee & Blakely. They invited me over for a surprise...when I got there they had a time of pampering for me- a manicure and pedicure and a back massage!! I'm ready to make another appointment with them! We had so much fun talking and giggling! What a blessing they are in my life!

Bry and Blakely dressed Trinity up and were teaching her and Brennan how to dance!

The kids and I went to Mom and Dad's last weekend. We wanted a quick pic with the grandkids- not everyone was thrilled to take the picture- notice my daughter in the lower left corner!

More Wedding Pics

Trinity was so excited to dance the night away...thankfully, her cousin Danica obliged her wish!

That sure is a pretty flower, Grandma...I wonder what it tastes like...

Sweetness and Independent

I love this picture of Eli...he was just over 4 months and was completely exhausted and fell asleep on the floor with those 2 middle fingers in his mouth...pure sweetness!

For those of you who have toddlers, you'll know exactly what I mean when I say- independent!! Trinity thinks she can do it all by herself...her, she decided she wanted her pj's on...she forgot to take off her other clothes first! She was pretty frustrated when she couldn't do it all by herself.

Aaahhh, bath time- one of the best parts of the day...kids smelling so sweet and fresh and all bundled up in the towel- pure sweetness!

JOY- that's what I think of when I look at Trinity in this picture- one of my favorite pictures of her and I! Most of the time she is so full of joy and love and smiles for everyone!

Lauren's Visit

One of my very best friends from high school, Lauren, came to visit us for the weekend this past weekend. She is living around the Dallas area and flew out to see us! Thank you, Lauren, for coming- it was a great weekend!

It took us a while to get a picture with Trinity- she was occupied with other things! It's hard to get an almost 2 year old to do what you want them to sometimes!

Lauren and Trinity playing with Lauren's phone- Lauren was so good about letting her push all of the buttons and 'talk' all she wanted!

One of Trinity's new favorite things to play- clean people's tummies! Here she had Lauren lay down on the kitchen floor so she could clean her tummy! Lauren was such a good sport!
