G & P Ranch

     The day after Thanksgiving, my mom's side of the family got together at the ranch for a fish fry. The weather was perfect, which is hard to count on for Texas! Connor played with his cousins and practiced shooting with his Pepaw. Livie slept a lot and was passed around and carried by everyone. It was a wonderful day filled with good food, lots of laughter, and quality family time.

Thanksgiving 2017

     We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We have two healthy babies, a new house, and we are living back in Texas surrounded by family. I can't tell you the last time I spent Thanksgiving with my family {probably 7 years ago}, so it was so nice to spend a holiday with them. The only thing missing was Aaron. We missed him so much, but he’s going to be home in the next dew days so I am thankful for that!

Olivia: Three Months Old {+ 13 Days}

My Little Livie,

    Happy {late} T H R E E month birthday. You, my love, are such a mamas girl and everyone who has met you has seen it. I absolutely love how much you love me. You love to stare at me and are happy as long as you can see me, and are in my arms. Haha! I am super late writing this because you turned three months on Thanksgiving and we were out of town, and then we came home and our internet has been down for over a week. So here I am at Starbuck's writing your monthly birthday blog because I can’t put it off any longer. I love you so much beautiful girl!

Love,

Your Mama

Halloween {And The Days Leading Up To It}

    We love the month of October. We celebrate Aaron's birthday, my birthday, and Halloween! We love Halloween. We did our traditional pumpkin carving a few days before Halloween, and went trick or treating. We planned on passing out candy once we got home from trick or treating, but we got nine kids the entire night. Oh well, more candy for us!

Olivia's First Nap In Her Crib

    Today Livie took her first nap in her crib. It may have only lasted 15 minutes, but that's a start! She's a cat-napper anyways, so 15 minutes here and there are normal for her. She looked so sweet swaddled in her blanket. I put the same sound machine on that I used for Connor, and the music made her so relaxed. I was able to sneak in and take a few pictures of her right before she went to sleep and also during her nap.
