Day Trip To Austin

    On Saturday, Aaron's only day off this past weekend, we took a day trip to Austin so we could take Connor to the children's museum. On our drive there, we stopped to take a few pictures of Austin's famous murals. It's hard to pick a favorite because they are all unique in their own way!  

Olivia: Eight Months Old

Hi pretty girl,

     That's right, you are so unbelievably pretty with your bright blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. Everyone who sees you loves those two things about you. Oh, and I can't forget about your beautiful smile and little tongue that you always have sticking out. It's the cutest! You are EIGHT months old today and I can't believe it. I say that every month, but I really can't. You have grown so much in the last month too. I am so lucky to be your mama and see you grow everyday. 

XOXO,

Mama

Family Pictures

    Y'all know I love taking family pictures, so when my best friend Kelsey {my favorite picture taker} was visiting us about a month ago, I had to ask her to take a few of us. She happily said yes, so when Aaron got home from work we quickly got dressed and drove/walked to the creek that runs through our neighborhood. It was the perfect location for a quick and very last minute family photo session. I love them so much!

Connor's Fifth Birthday

The original birthday post got deleted, so now I am going to try and remember what I wrote :(

 My best boy {that's what daddy and I call you},

           And just like that, you're FIVE years old. I can't believe it! You are such a sweet and caring young boy. You are also really big! I can hardly hold you anymore. I try to, but it's not easy. One of your favorite things to do is create things. You like to do "projects" and come up with all kinds of neat things. You are also so energetic. You are always doing something and I can never get you to slow down. Today we celebrated you turning a whole year older. You loved telling everyone "today's my birthday!" Here's how we celebrated.

Bluebonnets

    One of the memories I have of my childhood was taking pictures with my sister in a bluebonnet field. I remember my parents telling us to be very careful and not to step on them because we would get in trouble and the cops would get mad at us. Now that I'm a mom and we are living back in Texas, I couldn't wait to get pictures of Connor and Olivia with them.
