Going to the Chapel - Vegas Style

Charlie's cousin Samantha got married to her high school sweetheart Bobby this past weekend. We traveled to Las Vegas for the wedding at the Paris Hotel. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and we had so much fun in Vegas even though it was INCREDIBLY HOT!!

Party Time

Baby Sprinkle

It's an exciting time for my Mom's side of the family. My cousin Meghan is expecting her son Grady in August, my cousin Julia is expecting a baby in October, my cousin J's wife Erin is expecting a baby girl in November and Charlie and I are expecting in December. My mom, my Aunt Janice and I decided to throw Meghan, Julia and Erin a baby sprinkle/party. Here are a few pictures from the fun get-together!!

The ADORABLE cake my cousin Kristi made!! She included 4 babies (one for my baby too!!)

Camping at Jellystone

This year our family took a vacation to Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas. My parents bought a travel trailer in late spring so we decided to try out this camp grounds because we heard it was GREAT for small children. We were not disappointed. They have 2 pools, a mini waterpark for the smaller kids and 2 big slides. They also have mini-golf, a petting zoo, an outdoor movie theater, karaoke, a fishing lake, craft center and visits with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo Bear and Cindy Bear. We had a lot of fun at Jellystone.

They had rv, camper and tent sites but they also had these cute cabins to rent. We stayed in a "Cindy Cabin."

Miller rode on the BIG Slide!! Yikes!! But he LOVED it!!

I thought rule #3 and #4 were funny.

Happy 8th Anniversary!

Eight years ago today Charlie and I were married. It's been the best 8 years of my life! We now have 2 boys and another baby on the way. Life is crazy but wonderful. I feel so blessed to have my husband and boys. Thank you God for Charlie and the life we have made together!

Back to Blogging

Hey World I'm trying to get back into blogging. Sorry I haven't posted in a LONG time but life has been crazy. I started working a full time job in August and just haven't had a lot of spare time to blog. After working for 9 months I have decided to go back to being a stay-at-home mom until I can get back into teaching. So here are a a few pictures from the spring.
