Temple High 10 Year Reunion!

This past weekend we traveled home to T-town for my 10 year high school reunion. It was a fun weekend with friends and family. Saturday afternoon the precious girls (well, I guess I should refer to us as women since three of us have daughters now!) I grew up with and their families came to swim and have lunch at my parents' house. It was a special time together - it brings so much joy to my heart to watch Abby develop friendships with my best friends' children. I think the grandparents also enjoyed getting to see each other and all the grandkids. Saturday night was the reunion and I can honestly say it was wonderful. It was relaxing and we really got to talk with old friends and catch up. I am thankful that Matthew knows quite a few people I went to high school with and he is also friends with all my best friends' husbands and boyfriends - so he actually had fun at my reunion, too. Matthew's 10 year high school reunion is the end of October in Dallas - I'm pretty sure it will be much fancier than mine:)
Enjoy the pics from the weekend!

More Popcorn!

Our friend Katie had the great suggestion of us putting our "popcorn" into our blow-up pool. Thanks for the great idea, Katie! Here are some recent pictures.

Exciting News!

Matthew, Abby and I are so excited to share the news that our family will be growing in February! I am about 13 weeks pregnant with our second child and we couldn't be happier. We are so thankful to God for this gift! So many of you have been praying for us along the way and we want you all to know how grateful we are to you. Thank you, sweet friends and family!

We just returned home from a weekend in Temple for my 10 year high school reunion - it was a great weekend filled with good times with both friends and family. Last week we had Auntie, Abram and Hootsie stay with us for a fun few days. I have lots of pictures and I promise I will post them soon...right now I am off to bed!

The past two weeks...

We have had a busy last couple of weeks. Julie (one of my best friends in the world) came to visit with her kids, Abby and I went to Temple for a couple days while Matthew was out of town for work and now we have Hootsie (my mom), Abram and Auntie with us for a few days. Here are some recent pictures. Enjoy!

Best buddies Annie and Abby - reunited!

Hudson, Annie and Abby playing in "popcorn" in our living room. Matthew just ordered a new guitar and the package arrived full of Styrofoam popcorn. One nice thing about having a big rental house without much furniture is having room for things like this:)

Julie reading "Fancy Nancy" to Annie and Abby.

p.s. If you have daughters, definitely check out Fancy Nancy children's books.

Abby's preschool had "Crazy Hair Day" last week - here is our girl with her crazy hair!

Hootsie bought Baby Patti (Abby's favorite baby doll) some much needed accessories.

Weekend Get-A-Way With Old Friends

The weekend before last Matthew and I were able to go to South Padre with two of Matthew's best friends from college and their wives. We had a wonderful time catching up, laying on the beach and eating delicious seafood. BeBe and Aunt Judi came to San Antonio to stay with Abby while we got away for the weekend - thank you! We have already planned to spend a weekend together again next summer.

Our Wonderful Colorado Trip

Here are some pictures from our trip to Colorado. It was a perfect vacation and we feel so blessed to have had both our families together in such an amazingly beautiful place.

Auntie, Abram, Abby and Mommy eating the 4th of July cookies we decorated.

We took a boat ride on a lake in the middle of the mountains. I was able to catch Daddy and Abby in a sweet moment.

My most favorite picture - my precious husband and daughter.

One Colorado Picture

Hey Friends and Family! I know it's been over a week since we returned from Colorado and I've yet to post any pictures. The truth is I still haven't even downloaded them yet! Just so I won't be the very worst blogger ever I am posting one that Matthew's mom took of our family while on a hike. It was an amazing trip and I can't wait to share more of our pictures with you all!
