this year we decided to go out to the elves' christmas tree farm in denison to cut down our own christmas tree. we were so excited and by "we" i mean me. i am pretty sure nick and luke could have had just as much fun picking out a tree from the "he-po" (home depot). and even though we had to drive to...

okay, i have to take a second to first off, brag on how adorable my niece and nephew are, and secondly, what an awesome job my sister and her husband did in taking these pictures. i am so impressed and just love what they did. they took lots more awesome shots like this one, but i just decided to steal one for now....
anyone else have this problem?? you want to display your kid's artwork on the fridge but your stainless steel fridge is not magnetic. i've been looking for a solution to this problem for months and yesterday i found it. i stopped by the container store to check out their gift wrap "wonderland" (not so much) and came across this little do-hicky. and i...

here it is. or at least one of them. i love this one with luke and his lolly pop (that he was so proud of himself for "earning") and olivia, just waking up and trying to figure out what is going on. ...
today is picture day. i have been dreading and putting off today for as long as i can. so, as soon as i am done with this post, i will be bathing both kids, picking out a few different coordinating outfits, searching attic for backdrop stand, setting up backdrop stand with paper, and hoping/praying both kids are still in a good mood by...
my kids are actually playing together. olivia is just shy of 5 months. i pulled out this sit and spin activity center thingy that we had with luke and they have been playing on it 'together' for about twenty minutes. luke is enjoying being the expert and showing sister how to do everything. it's pretty cute. i love that they have each other....
all of our time spent at boomerangs has paid off. we won a free birthday party! whoohoo! i'm not sure if i'm more excited or luke. so save the date and look for your invitation in the mail sometime after christmas. we are still going back and forth on a spider man, ninja turtle or a dinosaur party (like his best bud Cam,...
I love looking back at pictures to see how much the kids change and grow in such a short period of time. These were both taken last summer when Olivia was two weeks old. I was going for a hazey, honey look. I think the one of Olivia could be brightened up a bit, but overall, I like this look. ...

I am sitting here, sister is asleep in her stroller next to me, and Luke is having a blast running around boomerangs, playing with some little boy he met here. I can see him jumping from where I am sitting. I am updating my blog and doing a little browsing on etsy. All in a hard days work...haha :) I am sitting here,...

I had a very weird dream last night that sister started walking around. Like she was still a tiny little 4 month old, but could walk. Very strange looking. It was very realistic and a little scary. She was actually running from me and slamming doors around the house and her and Lukey were doing the "psycho" laugh.I guess I'm a little worried...
{firsts}Olivia rolled over from back to front for the first time. She is 4 and a half months old.Go Sister! ...
I have been walking around in a haze since yesterday. I found out that a guy I knew a while back passed away. I was not great friends with him and had not seen or talked to him in several years, but I am incredibly bothered by this. He was one of those people that is just genuinely nice. Such a sweet, sweet...
Seriously. What is up with Luke's new little game of pulling off his undies, wading them up into a ball, throwing them in the air, and then running like a wild hooligan around the house, yelling "I'm naked JAY bird!". Okay, this may have been funny a month ago, but come on. Keep your undies on, little boy. I am so tired of...
I was tagged by my friend Jennifer so it's my turn to tell you guys seven random facts about myself. 1. I played competitive tennis as a child and all through high school. I had a private coach and traveled all over Texas playing in tournaments. I beat out a Senior for captain of my high school team my Freshman year. I got...
I am not going to hide the fact that I am pretty bummed about the election. I probably felt more passionate about this election than any in the past and I actually felt sick to my stomach last night as I saw more and more states go blue. I still feel like I could just cry this morning. I could go on but...
