Happy Turkey Day, 2011!

Well, I have gotten so behind on blog posts that I keep avoiding getting back into it. I have felt the need to play catch-up, which just seems more and more impossible the longer I go without posting anything. I've decided to give up on that and just start blogging current posts! So, here I am!! I'm back!! Maybe I'll put some past posts here and there so I still feel like I'm catching up some...we'll see!

Anyways, we have SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! We have three beautiful, healthy girls and are thrilled to be expecting our miracle #4!! We are so blessed to be surrounded by ALL of our family close by, so we had our usual marathon of Thanksgiving get-togethers! Sometimes we complain that we have so many places to be, but really I can't imagine it any other way!! The best part is that no one expects much from me when it comes to cooking, so I don't do much in the kitchen at Thanksgiving!! Ha ha!!

We of course started our Thanksgiving morning off with the Dallas Turkey Trot. We had our usual big group participating. Most of us walked the 5k, while Matt, Christy and Kyle ran the 8 mile. I hope to be running with them again next year!!

Here are some pics of our wonderful 2011 Thanksgiving!!

Matt's grandparents took a picture with ALL SEVEN GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTERS! They have two more great grand babies on the way...

Will there be two MORE girls, or will there finally be a boy???

We'll find out come February!

God is so good! We give him all the praise for our many blessings in 2011!

October 2010

Our October was fun-filled! We went to the zoo, celebrated some family birthdays at Babe's, went to the State Fair with Nana and Papa and of course visited the pumpkin farm a couple times getting ready for Halloween! Here are some photos of our fun October!!

C&C's 1st Birthday Party!!

We had Cooper and Conley's first birthday party at Colleyville City Park. It was a Barnyard animal theme, although we did not have a petting zoo. I just saw these adorable cupcakes and cake that our friend Jaime had made, and decided that just HAD to be the theme!!



There were LOTS of family and friends at the party! We invited people to honor Cooper and Conley at their first birthday by making donations to the Children's Heart Foundation in support of Team Liam, our CHD buddy that shares C&C's birthday! It was so touching at how generous our friends and family were for such a great cause!

Here are some pics of LOTS of people that love these precious girls!!

Here is our family of 5 getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to C&C!

Even Shelby got to come to the party for a visit!!

Campbell sporting a party favor hat...she had her eye on the horse hat the entire time!

We opened presents back at home. Of course an outfit change was required!! C&C had to show off their party dresses!

Cooper trying to put her bow back on, I have her well-trained

I was happy to get a few of these on camera!! Cooper would ALWAYS make this face and hold her finger up as if she was saying "number 1". She did this all the time right around turning 12 months old. It was too funny!!

Happy birthday sweet Cooper and Conley!! Mommy and Daddy have SO enjoyed your first year!! You girls are such blessings to our family!! We look forward to all of our future memories and plenty of entertainment and laughs with you girls!!

C&C's 1 Year Birthday Pics...CUTE!!!

Cooper and Conley's one-year birthday pictures could not have been cuter!! I think they speak for themselves...no captions needed...well, for those of you that can't tell them apart, I'll at least help identify them for you :-)
