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.

Our Crazy Kiddos




She always wants to wear Cait's shoes, even though they are too big for her!

Eli sporting Cait's shoes also. Ryan is going to ban me from blogging!

Our little Deer Hunter

I love seeing my little boy do real "guy stuff"! It is just so cute. Ryan took Eli to the deer lease with my Dad (Poppa) and Ryan's Dad (Pop Pop). Eli talked and talked about it for days. They didn't get a deer or even see one for that matter. Eli loves to talk and that doesn't make for a good hunting environment. But at least Ryan got some good father/son time with him. Poppa and GiGi got him a bow and arrow set and a blow up deer for him to practice for next year. He is going to be the best hunter ever! As I am typing this Eli is asking me to Velcro his dress. Yes, he is wearing one of Mia's princess dresses. Now you know why we are so happy he likes to hunt!

At the deer lease (luxurious, huh?)
