Uncle Julio's Birthday Celebration

Miller picked his favorite Mexican restaurant - Uncle Julio's - to have his birthday celebration...ok it is mommy and daddy's favorite Mexican restaurant!! Here are a few pictures of his 1st birthday dinner at Uncle Julio's. He really enjoyed the sopapillas and the Happy Birthday song!! We are having a family party at Chuck E. Cheese in College Station on Sunday so more birthday pictures to come! (It's funny how we have to schedule birthday parties around A&M football...just joking!!!)

Happy 1st Birthday Miller!!

God has blessed our family in so many ways. The biggest, most wonderful blessing of all is our little boy Miller. Today is Miller's 1st Birthday. At 6:30 a.m. one year ago today our little miracle was born. I love my son with all my heart and can't wait to see what the future holds for him. Thank you God for giving him to us. We love you Miller. HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Mommy and Daddy!! (Here are a few pictures from the hospital and the last picture was taken this morning on his 1st birthday!!)

Harvest Party

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful Sunday School Class. The Cox Family hosted a fall Harvest Party at their house. We had stew, smores by the fire pit, and lots of good company!! The kids dressed up in their Halloween Costumes. Here are a few adorable pictures from the night!! Thanks Cox Family for having us!!

Gigi comes to town!!

My mom (Gigi) came to McKinney last week for a whole week. We had lots of fun. Miller really enjoyed spending some time with his Gigi.













The family eating at Babe's Chicken. YUMMY!!

My son has decided that he hates anything on his feet. As you can see from this picture he would prefer to eat his sock rather than wear it!

Playtime, A Shower and The Longhorns!!

This past weekend I helped be a hostess at a shower for Shay and Baby Kensington. It was a lot of fun. Lots of good food and great friends gathered to shower the Shull Family.

The Hostesses and Shay: Leslie, Me, Erika, Shay, Andrea, Whitney, and Rachel















Daddy was out of town so Miller came with me to the shower. He HAD to wear his UT gear because Texas was playing OU...and like I said Daddy was out of town so we could sneak the UT shirt on him!! I guess it was a good luck charm because the Longhorns WON!! Yeah!!































On Thursday night we went to the Watts' House to have a Mommy and Baby Play Time. It was funny watching Miller interact with the others. At first he seemed at a loss as to what he was supposed to do with the other children. I think that has a lot to do with him staying home with me instead of going to daycare. He just sat back and observed the others playing but eventually he jumped in and started playing with the rest of the group. My mom said I was the same way when I was his age!!

The Groomer

I took the dogs to the groomer this past Saturday because they were MUCH over due for a good grooming!! Here is the picture of the dogs after the groomer. Cosmo looked really cute but his ears were REALLY fluffy and long so I decided to "fix" the problem and cut the hair on his ears shorter. I guess the groomer knows what she is doing because now he looks rather silly with short fluffy ears...as shown in the picture below!! On the way to the groomer's I had to dodge traffic in downtown McKinney. It was CRAZY all the people out. I decided we had to check out the madness so we made our way to the Square and found out McKinney was having Octoberfest. It was so crowded. Here are a few pictures of us at Octoberfest. Miller enjoyed the German Music!! He even clapped along during the "Chicken Dance" song!

A&M vs Miami Game

TOYS TOYS TOYS!!

I try to neatly pile Miller's toys in a box in our living room so he can easily get to them but also to keep them out of the way so our living room can be as neat as possible. Easier said than done when you have an 10 month old!! The first 2 pictures are the neat pile of toys just waiting for Miller to find!! The last 2 pictures are of the aftermath!! Toys EVERYWHERE!! So much for neat and tidy!!























Like I said in my previous blog my parents came to our house to evacuate from Hurricane Ike. So naturally all their dogs came too. Did I mention they have 4 poodles?? That made a total of 6 dogs in our house...5 of them being poodles. It was CRAZY but fun!!















These are some pictures from dinner at Sicily's with The McAnally's. We had fun with our little ones and enjoyed some good food with great friends!!

Baby Pictures

My parents came to McKinney this past weekend to evacuate from Hurricane Ike. They brought along many important things with them in case they had damage to their home. Fortunately for them they did not have any major damage...just lost power for a few days and had minor tree damage. They brought with them some old photo albums from when I was a baby. Many people tell me that Miller looks like me. I really didn't see it until I looked at some of my old baby pictures. I can definitely see it now...especially from the nose up. I will admit that from the nose down he looks like his Daddy. He even has a little dimple in his chin like Daddy but from the nose up he is all me!! Check out my old baby pictures and tell me what you think!!??
