Christmas

Here are a few pictures from our visit with the Richmonds.. always good to see them!!

 

Our next Christmas was with Grandmaw, DziaDzia, Aunt Deb, Uncle Jon & Avery.  We all met at church and then came to our house for so Rudy's BBQ and presents!!

 

 

 

After they left it was time to put out the cookies and get ready for SANTA!!!!  We woke up early to see what he brought us.  Zach was pretty excited about his new bike and all the other things he got.  Brenden I think was excited to get money.. what more would a college kid want.. right.. Macy was excited to play with the wrapping paper.  We all also got new Sam Houston "Sammy" Tervis cups. 

 

 

 

Brenden left after we opened presents and Zach & I went to my aunt's house to celebrate with my dad's family.  We had a great time getting to see all of them.

Jordan at 8 months

This past Saturday we went to Crockett to see Tim's mom (please continue to keep her in your prayers) and we found out that our niece Corrie was coming with baby Jordan and her hubby.  We were excited to get to see them and see how big Jordan had gotten and boy did he!  He is so cute!  You may remember Jordan from this blog in February when he was just a month old.  So I took my camera so I could take a few pictures of him for Corrie.  He had just woke up when we did these so we didn't get very many but I think we got a few she will like!

Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve we went to church at my and dad's church then it was on to our house this year, we had mom & dad, Deb & Jon over. Tim grilled steak and potatoes with salad.. YUM-O, Tim really out did himself on dinner. Then it was on to opening presents. Zach was SO READY for that!





Zach opened this and goes...muddy boots!! He was so excited


After they left the boys got on the couch and watched the Christmas Story and put out cookies for Santa..





Then it was on to bed so the big man could come and see us.

We figured Zach would be up early but we ended up having to wake him and Brenden up. Boy was he surprised when he saw what Santa left.







Besides the DSi that Zach got this was probably his favorite thing he got...





Yes he got a skateboard..it was from Santa..

After we opened presents and ate breakfast Brenden took Zach and me over to mom & dad's and we then went down to my aunt's house. It was nice to see the family, got some pictures of my godson Blake playing with Zach and then one good one of him.

Aunt Rosie & Uncle Bennie's family (thanks for letting me take the pictures for the family!)

Then it was off to my Granny's house.. I was so surprised when I opened the door and my cousin Anna was there.. it is always a treat to see her since we don't see each other but maybe once a year if that but she usually emails me and tells me she is coming but this time she didn't email but come to find out she was surprised too.. my cousin Melissa sent her a ticket. There was also my aunt and uncle which we also only see about once a year. So we took lots of pictures of all of us.

10 year anniversay!

Well 10 years have come and gone and boy have we changed and so has our family Brenden was just 6 back then and now he is 16 almost 17 and a junior in high school...and we have our mircle child Zachary who we many times never thought we would ever have in our lives.. we have had good days and bad days.. we have lived the vows for richer for poorer and in sickness and in health.. and we are still in love with each other even more then when we got married..

So what do you think we did tonight to celebrate this great day.. let me give you a hint...



need one more hint....




that's right we were at the Willis vs Huntsville game.. and for those of you who may not know Tim and I got married in Huntsville so it seemed like it was the perfect place for us to play tonight..

I will add more band pictures tomorrow..

Nolan and Kaylee come to visit!

Sunday we text Sands to see if Nolan and Kaylee wanted to come and play with Zachary. They ended up coming over for a bit and Nolan and Zach had a blast playing monster trucks and of course Wii Little League baseball..



They also had a band going.. boy were they funny and cute!



And of course I had to take some pictures of baby Kaylee as Zach calls her... she is getting so big! Sands said she started crawling last week and boy did she.. she was after everything on the floor and jabber.. boy she was just too cute!


(she decided she had enough of the bow.. isn't she cute!)




(we are starting her out early!)

First Engagment Pictures

Well I have been asked to do this couples wedding and since they hadn't seen any of my pictures before I told her I would do some engagement pictures for her so she could decide for sure if she wanted me to do the wedding.

We met a few weeks ago in The Woodlands in the park by the pavilion there are so many different places to get good pictures around there I thought it would be perfect and we would be able to get some good ones. The Bride has been married before and has 4 well behaved kids so since they were there I told her they would be in some of the pictures also.

I think I did pretty good for my first time what do you think? Leave your comments and well wishes for the happy couple!







































What a great family and I enjoyed getting to spend the afternoon with them and really appreciate my sister Debbie coming and helping me!! Thanks Deb! Wedding pictures will follow in May!

In case of you don't know I am now doing this on the side just for fun, I have a good company that prints the pictures for me. Let me know if you would like me to take pictures for you.
