Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

Ethan was baptized in the Guadalupe River this Sunday!

He asked his daddy to do the honors... it was beautiful! The sky was bright blue, we were surrounded by family, he spoke up loud & proud... it was perfect!!! I am so proud of him!

Friday... I'm in LOVE!!!

layla's princess tea party

Wow! I have not kept up with my poor blog. It used to be my favorite time waster, but I am hooked on a new one. If I ever have a spare minute-I spend it on facebook. So sorry. I am going to be better. We have so much fun stuff coming up- Valentine's day parties, 3 birthdays, a trip to Austin... I can't wait!I completely missed out on Christmas. I will say- it may be my favorite one to date. We did not do anything super great, but it was so wonderful to be with my family. The kids are growing up to be such good, appreciative kiddos. The whole break was relaxing & FUN! I may give in and back track with pictures later. For now, here is Layla's birthday party- we all got dressed up. It was so cute!!

Jack got a cute haircut today... had to throw that in!

Since I've been gone...

I am not sure why these uploaded in the opposite order that I wanted them to. I meant to start with Thanksgiving & work my way to this picture. But I guess we will start from here & work our way back... That seems to be my life these days. Not a bad thing- I just feel a little upside down most of the time.
Okay- this picture was taken on Saturday- by Jack. We were outside making s'mores over Donald's new fire pit he got for his bday (thanks mom & dad). Our crazy dogs ate Lily Kate's class pet (Wilbur the stuffed walrus) that we were entrusted with for the weekend. Ugh! He's still got it!!!!

These pics start Ethan's 11th Birthday party. We took 2 carloads of kids to see Bolt at the Movie Tavern- so fun!!! (Tony, Ethan, Connor & Jesse)

Now- to where I meant to start- Thanksgiving Day at my mom & dad's house with the Taylor side of the family...

I will try not to wait this long between posts again, Gramma! I love you!!!

I spent way too long on the computer scanning old pictures. But it was worth it...here are a few of my favorites- This one is of Marcey & I *Sundance Square* 1994 My favorite funny friend, Wes Encalade at our Kojie/ Moonie Lock-In senior year at ACU & at Sooner Youth Camp 1995 (I think) he was my Sadie Hawkins date-

My sweet fatty boom-ba-latty friend- Kristy Taylor. Only Kristy, my family & Megan Thurman will think that is funny... This was taken at church (Pleasant Ridge) senior year.

Marcey & I- Her 17th birthday!!
