Just a glimpse at all the decor in the atrium

We recently met Nanna and Granddaddy and the rest of Jen's family in Dallas for a little winter get away. We stayed at the fabulous Gaylord Texan. It was beautifully decorated to the hilt for Christmas. This was the girls first hotel stay ever and they did great! Our little adventure also included a ride on the Polar Express with our golden tickets to see Santa. The train ride was great for the first hour but the last 30minutes prove to test Kelby and Mallory's coping skills. Did not blame them a bit. Stuffed into extra layers to stay warm, loud music over old speakers and the rocking of the train almost did Mom in too! We had a great time playing with Conner, Jackson and Harrison. It was a perfect weekend to get everyone in the holiday spirit! If you are ever in the Grapevine area you must at least take a looksy at the Gaylord. Merry Christmas Ya'll!~


Kelby is DONE with picture taking. Enough with the photo ops!

Silly Girls...

The girls have gotten to where they play with each other a lot. We had Kelby in the walker and Mallory pulls up on the side of it.

Birthday Party

We added a slideshow above from the Birthday party(s) last weekend. We had the party at a really nice park with a great pavilion, but due to the fact that it was 50 degrees and wind was blowing 30 mph - we decided to huddle around the backside of the pavilion where the sun was shining and the wind wasn't blowing. Otherwise it was a great party - thanks to our great friends and family.

Here's a short video of the "cake" festivities.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Mallory, Kelby and Evan! Happy Birthday to you!!

We love you baby girls and are so lucky to be your parents. You are loved more than you know!

________________________________________

We had wonderful party for the girls Saturday despite the weather. High 50's and wind is not exactly play at the park weather. Thank you so much to all of our friends that came and helped us celebrate. We will post pictures soon.

A very blessed and grateful family!!

Advertising Time Out: The Best Vacuum

I have to take a quick moment away from normal updates. I have the best vacuum ever! Here are the features that I love:

Silent: Never wakes a sleeping baby.
Cordless: never have to mess with the coiling up of a cord or hoping the cord reaches.
Portable: I can take it anywhere.
Convenient: It is always right there when I need it.
Warranty: It is guaranteed to last a life time!
Bagless: No more hassle with that!
Carpet Cleaner: Any spill or stain it will work its hardest to clean right up.

Seriously you must get one. I do not know what I would do with out it. They come in all shapes and colors. Minature, Small, Medium, Large.Whatever your household need is. As the girls get older and eat more table food I am sure I will get my money's worth out if it!

And now....

The many faces of Kelby Grace... she's very animated.











It's so funny to see their personalities showing up already. We think she's going to keep us laughing. :)

We are mobile....

The girls are both mobile now. Mallory gets around a little bit faster than Kelby, but they are both all over the place. We can't leave their side for a second. The other day we had the girls playing in the floor in the office. We had gotten the girls birthday present and put it in the guest room closet, right next to the office. We had left the door open to the closet and before we knew it, this is where we found Mallory.



I think she likes it... :)

Big Girl

The girls are getting so big. It looks like we've outgrown the swing.

November 5, 2005

Three years ago today these two people met. They did not start dating until January 8, 2006, got engaged in May and were married August 19, 2006.

If you had told either of us what the future held on November 5, 2005 we would have cracked up laughing!!!

Go Lavender!

November is a very special month for us. First- our little girls will turn a year! Second we are able to celebrate the remarkable gift of having an Angel in Heaven and Third it is Prematurity Awareness Month for the March of Dimes.

Here is a little excert from the March of Dimes website.

November is Prematurity Awareness month and will be recognized through out the nation with rallies, expert panel discussions, and tours of neonatal intensive care units. Prematurity is now the nation's leading killer of newborns. It has now reached epidemic proportions –525,000 babies are born prematurely each year. The health consequences for infant survivors can be devastating: cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and other neurological conditions. Our purpose today is to raise public awareness about prematurity, and to mobilize the political will to act. (Taken from marchofdimes.com)

To make it a little easier to relate to, one in 7 babies in Texas is born prematurely. We were very lucky that our girls did not suffer any complications that would impact their daily life from being born premature. There are so many families that have to endure much graver circumstances that impact their children for life. This is just one more reason we thank God every day for our little micro premies. Please join us in wearing a lavender ribbon in support this month.

Happy Halloween!

First day at the park.

We were scoping out a location for the girls' first birthday party and some friends told us about this park in their neighborhood. It was such a nice day, so we decided to check it out. The girls loved it.


















We loved the swings....
