Family and Drew's birthday

Let's get caught up! Both my parents and Mike's parents came to Midland this spring to visit and the truly enjoyed them!

Drew's 3rd birthday party! Our little boy has turned three and we celebrated with friends who are like family. Isn't my Mickey Mouse Club House cake good?!

One of Drew's favorite gifts, binoculars!

We are still alive!

First, I am so sorry! It has been quite a while since I blogged so the pics below are kinda old and random but I wanted to catch you all up. We dont have any Christmas pics so if any family has any please send them to us!

These pics are from the Worldview Academy faculty retreat that we just went on in January. It was just 5 hours away in San Antonio and it was the first time we left both kids for 4 nights! It was great spending time with friends that we dont usually get to see.


This is our traveling team during the summer

This is our entire Worldview team!



These next pics are capturing the kids in their Christmas outfits. Mike took like a million pictures trying to get a good one and these are the best. It's funny, when you try to get kids to cooperate and take pics when you want them they really dont like too!





These pics are from vacation with our friends the Fairbaughs (November). We were away for a week and had a blast. These are from the little water park in the resort. The kids didnt really like it, Drew eventually warmed up by the end but he was quite scared through most of it. After we had to pretty much push him out of the slide and then catch him before he reached the bottom he liked it and could do it by himself by the end. Maddie took a little nap on Mike on the lazy river, so cute!

Madison's one year pics

I recently started working for this fabulous photographer, Amanda McNeely who took Madison's one year pictures. Here are some of our favorites!

Fall camp, carving pumpkins, Maddie's birthday

We carved pumpkins honestly just for the photo op! The kids were interested, but they didn't really like putting their hands in the pumpkin. Drew didn't like getting his hands dirty and Maddie really just wanted to try to eat it :)



We went to Glorieta, NM for our fall camp with Worldview Academy. The weather was refreshing, crisp and cool and even provided us with a little snow! And it was gorgeous! The kids got to play in the leaves (Something we have very little of here in Midland) and just enjoy nature.

We had a hard time getting Drew to cooperate with our picture taking, this was the best we got...a very fake smile!

Stud muffin!

These two next pics are of our silly children, Drew was playing peek-a-boo with Madison while she was making a mess eating spaghetti.


Maddie's first birthday party! We just had a few friends (and Mike's mom was in town!) to celebrate our little girl. Isn't she precious?!
