Fun at Burgers Lake

We took our first family trip to Burgers Lake. It was a blast! They have sand beaches, a kiddy dive, high dive, 20ft slide and a swinging trapeze. Aiden had the most fun just throwing sand/rocks into the water. Ryann had a blast swimming in the deep waters. She would put on her "safe" suit and swim all over the place. Then she learned how fun running and jumping of the diving board was. We enjoyed a nice picnic by the lake. The kids got to eat a HUGE lolly-pop. Just before we left Ryann worked up the courage to slide down the slide. Neither of the kids were ready to leave. Ryann asked if we could go back again real soon, and Aiden was asleep after five minute in the car. Hope everyone enjoys this wonderful long weekend!!

Growing up too fast!

That is exactly what Aiden is doing. He never seizes to amaze me! Aiden will talk your ear off! He can say countless words; he understands commands that shock me. The other day he had something that belonged in my bathroom, I told him to put it on the counter; and he went and placed on the counter. He is learning so fast! When he is coloring, or "writing" he begins to spell his name. He'll take the pen in hand and say A - I. It is so cute! He also has learned to fake a sneeze. It is hilarious; he does the head nod and everything. Aiden has a wonderful sense of humor, and knows when he is entertaining. He can show you where his head, ears, nose, mouth, feet and tummy are. I asked him the other day, where are your shoes; he grabbed his feet and looked at me like I was an idiot and said "feets!" Aiden is learning the art of eating with utensils. He does a good job, but still prefers to eat with his hands. I'm sure I'm leaving out a ton, so you'll need to come for a visit so you can see/hear it all for yourself.

It was a Happy Mothers' Day!!

Aiden and I, celebrating our second Mother's Day!!

Not just a good Mothers' Day, but a good weekend. Adam was off Friday, so we got to hang out; something we don't really get to do much since his hours changed at work. Saturday I had a photo shoot in Dallas, then I dropped Aiden off with Gamma and Papa and Adam and I went to a wedding. We got to see some friends we haven't seen in a while. I then went to a party at Erin's house and back home. Sunday Adam let me sleep in while he took care of Aiden, and got breakfast. I got to open my gifts, a blue sapphire necklace from Aiden and a pink and white sapphire ring from Adam. I am so spoiled!!! Adam then left for some soccer games, and Aiden and I met Kay for lunch. After lunch we walked around downtown Grapevine and did a little shopping. We came home and got ready for dinner with Gamma and Papa. It was YUMMY!!! We came home and played with Aiden for a while. He has learned to climb up on Ryann's bike, so I pushed him around the yard for a while, then it was bath time. Adam took care of that while I worked on some pictures.

Hope all you other mommy's had just as wonderful a day!!!

Everyone has good news!

Seems like everyone has good news to share! Heather and George found out, after MONTHS of trying they are pregnant! Jenny and Emrick are also expecting, this will be their second. Jayme and Patrick decided a couple of weeks ago to start looking for jobs to get them back to Texas. They will be returning to the Houston area on May 20th!!!!!!!!!!! We are VERY excited for each of our friends!

Our lives have been pretty eventless. I did shoot my first non-friend/family wedding this past Saturday. It went beautifully! I ended up handing out a few business cards. The whole photography thing has really taken off, I've been busy every weekend for the past month or so doing shoots!

The house is beginning to come together. We've got one of the greenest yards on the block, which I'm really excited about. Since when we moved in it was brown and FULL of weeds. I painted an accent wall in our bed room to match our new bed/bedding. We both love it! Ryann and I painted the laundry room;it's on its way to being my girly room. It's pink and brown, I LOVE it!

Not much new to report on the kids, except they keep growing!
