My Favorite Niece Alexa






Alexa is 7 weeks.

A Slumber Party


Love this picture of the kids sleeping. Alex was in the middle when they first went to bed but you see somehow Maurissa is in the middle now.

Hannah Sleeping


I had to post this picture of Hannah sleeping on Justin. We have been gone for 8 days and haven't seen the girls. My parents kept the girls for us while we were on our cruise (will post pictures as soon as I get them up), and during this short nap Hannah took she had been helping us unpacking and cleaning up. She hardly ever takes a nap but it was so cute to see her asleep on Justin. He needed the rest too after the long trip home yesterday.

Miss Red Oak "Today's Girl"








Maurissa was crowned Miss Red Oak "Today's Girl" this past weekend and can't be more proud of her. She will compete in June to hopefully be crowned Miss Texas. If she becomes Miss Texas, then she will compete for Miss USA in July. It's hard to believe how much she has grown. She has never competed in anything like this, so it was surprising that this was something she wanted to do.

And The Winner Is.....





Clifford, Greyie, Rocks, Boots, Roco, Rocky, Socks, Rocky Road. What to choose for the name of our baby kitten. Rocky it is. He loves to be around the kids and when he sees that no one is around he "meows and meows" until he notices someone's feet. He is such a playful kitten and is now part of our family.

A Birthday Poem To My Hannah


We celebrate your birthday, as you turn four today,
but we have got the gift, just the perfect gift,
that on this very special day, God gave away,
a gift of love fron up above, so unique and so rare.

We watch and pray as you grow,
in love and in faith, in beauty and in grace,
you bring us joy and pure delight,
just to gaze upon you lovely face.

May God bless you dear angel,
especially on this day,
that makes your birth, for all the special ways you bring,
a bit of heaven into our world.

May God bless you, Today, Tomorrow, and Always
In Peace, in Health, in Happiness and in Love.

Hannah Turns 4 Years Old








Four years ago on this day, Hannah Faith bounced into this world weighing in at 8 pds. and 14 ounces. She has been the life of our household with her unique personality. She is such a loving girl, and when I mean loving, she is always giving us kisses and telling us how much she loves us. It always amazes me how much she has grown in the past year. We tell her that she is getting to be a BIG girl so she pretends like she is her bigger sister and wears her clothes, puts on play make-up, and puts on Mommy's high heels. Hannah's curly hair is what makes her stand out and you can see it every morning when she wakes up how much of a wild child her hair is. Hannah....Momma hopes you have a wonderful birthday and wishes you many more to come, I love you.

Our very first sweet potatoes


Last year during the summer we planted sweet potatoes vines in our flower bed. They are gorgeous when they grow. Here are some sweet potatoes we dug up from the ground. They are HUGE!

A Beautiful Day at the Park






We went to see the ducks and came across three turtles in the pond. They were playing and cleaning their fur with their beaks. The girls had their picture taken. It was such a beautiful day!
