Houston Boat Show!

Well, we went to the Houston Boat Show this weekend and searched, once again, for the perfect boat, RV, Gator-like vehicle, Jet Ski, etc.  The girls did great walking around seeing everything and Matt has the 'I need a boat itch' again.  We just can't decide on what color..just kidding...haha! 



It's Been Beautiful Outside!

 We've been spending a lot of time outside lately!!  It wears the girls out and we aren't inside making messes all day!!

Happy First Brithday to my sweet Jordan!!

A year ago at this time I was trying to get some sleep...and just couldn't get comfortable.  A few hours later, we were headed to the hospital to have our second baby girl!  Jordan has been such a blessing to our family.  Having two precious girls has been wonderful.  Watching them play together and 'talk' together is really amazing.  Jordan loves to feed herself, loves to clap, loves to play with her big sister, and loves to ride in her car!!  She is eating anything we can cut up into small enough pieces that she can feed herself!  Her favorites are pasta pick up ravioli!  She is only taking 2-3 bottles a day and really enjoying using a sippy cup with milk!  Jordan says Mama, Dada, ball...and that is about it!  She screams when her sister takes her toys, or even comes toward her with the possible intention of taking her toys.  She walks ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE!!  With Taylor we never had to put locks on the bathroom cabinets.  Last week, we put them on ALL the bathroom cabinets in order to keep Jordan out.  Jordan is still waking up a few nights a week wanting a bottle.  I need to quit getting up and doing this, unless I want to continue for a while...and I don't!  IF we have a hard-headed kiddo, she is IT!!  We are sooo looking forward to watching her grow, learn, and play!!  So neat to see the different personalities in our daughters!  WE LOVE YOU, JORDAN!  Happy 1st Birthday!!
(excuse the blurry pictures...she moves a lot and my phone just couldn't keep up!!)

Happy New Year!!

We spent New Years Eve (until around 9:00pm) with some great friends!! We were home and ALL asleep by 10:15pm!! I woke up at 11:59pm to the sound of a million fireworks in our neighborhood and went right back to sleep!!
Taylor wishes everyone a Happy New Year! We can't wait to see what 2012 will bring for our family!!

Go Texans and BTHO Northwestern!!! WHOOP!

Liz and I went to a Texans game before Christmas! For my birthday Matt stayed home with the kiddos and let me go to the game!! He's the best! He also sent us to Pappasitos for their game day brunch, and got me a snazzy new jersey! We had fun even though the Texans lost! Thanks Liz for coming with me! Go Texans!

Joni, Randy, Matt and I were able to get away for a bit to go to the A&M Bowl Game at Reliant Stadium! It was lots of fun and we had a great time watching the Aggies win their first bowl game in ten years...might be another ten before we even get in another bowl game!!! Matt and I have put our names on the list for season tickets next season for the Aggies first season in the SEC! Gonna be rough, but we have faith!



The most wonderful time of the year!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We are so lucky to have so much family close! We truly cherished all the time we were able to spend with all of our family and friends!

Reluctantly, I put up all the Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving. With an almost one year old and an almost three year old I was sure I'd regret it! And, I think I've only said, "Don't touch that!" about a thousand times! I'm glad Matt encouraged me to put up the tree and everything though! Watching the girls stare at the tree all lit up is just amazing.

We spend Friday the 23rd with my family in Whitesboro and Sherman. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Wilcox's and the 26th with the Moore's. My kids have been spoiled, busy, and on the go!!

Santa was very good to all of us!
