Pictures at the Arboretum

We had family pictures done at the Dallas Arboretum yesterday. Mrs. Dana Perkins of Tin Star Photography took them. She did an excellent job. She was so nice and VERY patient with my squirmy 1 year old son!! I have only seen a few "sneak peek" shots but they are really cute. If you would like to see a few of our pictures go to the following link: http://tinstarphoto.blogspot.com/ Thanks Dana! The pictures are everything I wanted and more!! I will post some of the pictures once I get my proofs!!

Miller's 1st Haircut

Miller got his 1st haircut on Saturday. We went to a place that cuts only kids hair. He did very well. He sat in the race car and was pretty still while the nice lady cut his hair. We have family pictures on Tuesday so we had to get a trim. Now he looks like a big boy...where did my baby go??

I'm Ready for Christmas!!

Well I can't hold back any longer. I am ready to get Christmas rolling. (Don't get me wrong - I love Thanksgiving too but I love Christmas even more! One reason Thanksgiving isn't as special to me is that my dad is a high school football coach so we were often playing playoff football during Thanksgiving so Thanksgiving was almost secondary to football. Don't get mad at my dad that is just the nature of TEXAS FOOTBALL!) I have been patiently waiting for 103.7 Lite FM to start playing their annual Christmas music. Last year they started it REALLY early. I check everyday...nothing but Lite Rock. So I have decided to put some Christmas music on my blog. I know some people may not like it and get really tired of the Christmas music when it is played before Thanksgiving but I do not ever get tired of it so I am starting early this year. I hope this doesn't turn anyone away!! Enjoy - I will be adding more songs later but here are a few of my favorites. (Scroll to the bottom and pick one of your favorites too!!) Oh Holy Night is my all time FAVORITE Christmas song but Here with Us by Joy Williams and Joseph's Lullaby by Mercy Me are a close 2nd and 3rd.

Happy 1st Birthday...Again!!

We had Miller's 1st Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese in College Station this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. We had so many friends and family come to celebrate our little boy. We are so blessed with our little one and our wonderful family. Thanks everyone for making Miller's 1st Birthday a memorable one!!

A Dragon and 2 Lady Bugs!!

Charlie and I took off work on Friday and headed to College Station early so we could have lunch with my brother - he is a freshman at A&M. We also wanted to get there in time to go trick or treating!! After lunch we went to my aunt and uncle's house and met up with our cousins - Grace and Reagan. They were both lady bugs--aren't they adorable!! Miller was not feeling that well but we still had a good time and got lots of great pictures. Enjoy!!
