Avery and Olivia are the most precious gifts I could have ever been given. They inspire me, challenge me, keep me grounded, bring so much happiness, love me unconditionally, and exhaust me every single day. I’m so blessed to have these precious girls in my life! Children open your eyes to things you’ve either never seen before [...]

Cinnamon Shores Family Getaway
Posted in Family, Travel on May 1, 2012 | 9 Comments »
A couple of weeks ago, Scott booked us a week at Cinnamon Shores in Port Aransas. Last summer, I noticed the new seaside village and was dying to stay there so he surprised me with the trip. He also managed to slip in some work by visiting his customers down in that area. The home [...]

To say that I’m behind on posting would be an understatement. I’ve been so busy living life that I keep forgetting to update this blog. However, I don’t want the girls to forget these memories and nor do I so I’m forcing myself to catch up! We went to Cabo with Dawn and Matt for [...]

The weather this past weekend could not have been better! Friday afternoon, we took the girls out to the house so we could meet with the HVAC guys before they left for the weekend and then headed to the fishing pond. My girly girls love getting dirty too and are so happy when they get to run and [...]

This past weekend we were blessed with the most amazing weather! While Scott traveled on Saturday, I loaded up the girls and drove down to Brenham to visit Matt, Dawn, and Lyla for the day. It was short but very sweet! Dawn and I even got a chance to sneak away for a bit to [...]

It is with deep sadness and a broken heart that I write this. Scott unexpectedly lost his Dad on February 10th. Scott put together this video for the memorial service. To Dad and Papa Tractor, we love you so very, very much. You will be dearly missed!
Feeding the Ducks

A while back, we took a stroll down to the lake to feed the ducks. We all really enjoy being outside so this was a fun opportunity to enjoy lake living while we still live close by for a couple more months. Random pictures of the girls from February that I love: Also, thank you [...]
Olivia Paige is 1!

This week has been a happy one but also quite emotional for me personally. Celebrating Olivia’s special first birthday this week means that she isn’t a baby anymore though she will always be my baby. My tears are flooding through just writing this. I can’t help but think of the roller coaster of a day [...]
Girls Weekend Getaway

This past year, my parents gave the “boys” a fishing trip and the “girls” got a shopping getaway for birthdays. I think this is the best idea as it makes for a truly memorable experience that can be cherished for a lifetime. Mom, Dawn, Hillary, and I went to San Antonio for a weekend of [...]

To set the tone of our Christmas weekend, the weather was very wintery (cold and wet) which made for perfect Christmas weather. That is the only time I like wintery weather ! We had a wonderful time with family, ate too much, played a lot, snuggled inside, and loved every second of it. I’m so [...]
