Through the Window

Through the window in my parent's sunroom, I captured this moment. Made my heart smile.

First Lady

When Katy invited me to a book signing at Books A Million, I couldn't pass up the chance to meet Former First Lady, Laura Bush. Although I didn't get to technically meet her, I did get to see her face to face. We had a fun night out on the town!
Because there were no cameras or phones allowed at the book signing, this is the only picture we've got of the evening. Not Laura Bush, but her signature on my book.

Whatever It Takes

When Griffin wakes up from his afternoon nap, he almost requests, in his own squealing, fussy until I comply way, to take a bath. The past two days, I've put him in my bathtub until big brother wakes up. He splish splashes and doesn't make an unhappy sound! Today, I was washing dishes and he "asked" to get in the water. I put him in the sink.

When Big Brother woke up, he requested to join Griffin. I couldn't refuse! Besides the mess of water and a few dirty dish towels, everyone was happy and carefree!

Tea for Three

While watching Max and Ruby, Creighton was fascinated with Ruby's tea party. Lucky for him, I had a few hours and some special treats. The three of us had our own tea party on the coffee table complete with tea juice {Crystal Light Peach Tea}, mini banana bread bundt cakes {homemade for a sip and see later that morning, and fake flowers. Creighter Bug was super impressed. It's the simple things.

Griffy loved the tea juice!

VBS's Petting Zoo

Creighton's class {with his super sweet teacher, Mrs. Amanda and her son, Brady} went out to look and touch the camels today at VBS. Though he looks a bit afraid, he actually stood beside the female camel and touched her...and then proceeded to put his fingers in his mouth!

Whatever it takes to learn a little more about The One!

Jesus, The One and Only

Today we started Vacation Bible School at our church. By eight fourty-five in the morning, Griffin is in his babies room. I'm working away teaching the older 2's- younger 3 year olds and Creighton is settled in his class.

I managed to peek in on him on our way to the playground. There he is, with Colton, listening intently to his teacher. What a good little boy!

Da-Da's Day

Nothing brings me more joy that seeing these three boys. There is just something special about a daddy and his relationship with his sons. I'm blessed God granted me this joy on Earth.

And this boy is a big daddy's boy! He loves their nightly bath time. And tonight, before we go get a haircut, he loved making a Mohawk! His first one!

Share Your Muffins

It's no secret this kid loves food! Mimi sent him some banana bread muffins and he ate all but two on his own. I couldn't help but snap away at his expressions.

A Favorite Memory

The boys are learning to play together alone. When I walked into Creighton's room, I found them just like this: Griffin just taking life easy and Creighton talking {on the phone}! That's about the story of our life.

Take My Breath Away

After we read our books and Creighton was tucked in for his nap, he asked me to sing him some songs, just like every nap time. Something about today, his innocence, his grown up mannerism, caught me off guard. I had to lay beside him and relish in His wonderful ways.

Cherishing him before he is all grown up.

Spending Sometime Outdoors

After we ate dinner, we casually played in our front yard. The boys played catch with the football and we enjoyed the nice, Texas weather. My boy and his football.

Taking life easy.

Playing with their hands-on daddy.

Long Over Due

Barbs and Lynnette came for a visit today. The boys had fun entertaining them and being entertained by them. I always heart a good visit with my dear, sweet friends.

Cousin Lovin'

Big Tristan was so helpful with Griffin while Kristi and I tried to rearrange my house. He held him, helped him walk and just spent time entertaining him when we couldn't. So fun to have cousins to play with!

No Telling

There is no way to know what these two are up to! Deacon and Creighton play so well together, but we never know what they end up teaching one another!

Floatin'

Creighton wanted to use out his new floaties, so we packed the gang and headed to swim at Michael and Jennifer's beautiful pool. My big, brave swimmer and his little brother just floatin'. Tristan was a bit afraid of Uncle BB's tricks!Aunt Kristi and the boys enjoying each other's company.

Don't Break the Ice

Mammy came to stay with us for the day. After gymnastics, we decided to play some games. Don't Break the Ice is one of Creighter's favorites.

Just A Bit of Joy.

Just spending some time in Abilene with family. Nothing says joy like loved ones. Happy ten months, my little loved one!
