Friends

One of my very best friends in the whole world came over last week with her two precious little boys, Hudson & Ty. We had so much fun playing outside. It was a beautiful day! I love springtime! Here are some pics of our fun day.

It was a fun day! Thank you for coming to see us!

T-Ball Time!

I cannot believe that Eli is old enough to play T-ball. This is something that I have looked forward to since he was a baby. I didn't have any brothers, so all of the "boy" stuff is very foreign to me. But we love our little man and love doing all of the little boy things with him. He is so excited about playing baseball. He has been practicing with Ryan and he is actually doing really good. Ryan even gets to be one of his coaches. The first practice was hilarious of course. They all had huge smiles on their little faces while they roamed around the field. They ran the wrong direction and had absolutely no idea what they were doing. But they are learning and having lots of fun doing it. So enjoy the pictures!

Wee Get Together - January

Every month our church organizes a get together for moms and their preschoolers. It is a fun time for moms in the area to get to know one another and for our kids to get to play. It is always lots of fun! In January we went to the Lake Jackson Sea Center.

Mia was terrified of the fish!

My Honey!

Well, I never posted about Ryan's birthday in February. I have to say that I have the most wonderful man out there. I really mean that too. He always makes me laugh, because he is SO funny! He always tells me I am beautiful. He loves to spend time with me. But most of all he loves the Lord. He spends his days reading about Him and studying about Him. Yes, he is a minister, so technically he is suppose to do that. But he loves to do it. He leads our family in the way that he believes the Lord wants us to go. He is also an awesome Dad. He loves Eli and Mia so much. He makes time to play with them, wrestle with them, read to them, play games with them. But most of all, he teaches them about God and his son, and what he did for us. Thank you God for such a wonderful husband and father to my kids. I love him so much!

I saw on my friend Ashley's blog that she listed some things her husband loves! So, since I am posting pictures of Ryan's birthday, I thought there would be no better time. So here here are some things Ryan loves:

God, his family, traveling, Baylor sports (especially basketball right now. You know they beat Texas last night), PlayStation, hunting, March Madness, being a dad, Mexican food and seafood, watching movies!

These are pictures from Ryan's birthday. I planned a surprise party for him at Saltgrass with our family and his 2 best buddies and their wives. He was totally surprised! I can't believe I pulled it off!

Before the party. Eli and Mia made a cake for him!

Isn't that beautiful! We should go into business!

Cards for Daddy!

Surprise party at Saltgrass. No, I didn't get any pictures of his surprise face. I am not very good at thinking ahead. This is Ryan reading a book about 1978 that his parents gave him.
