Family Photos

In honor of Caleb being 18 months old and Braden's 30th Birthday I got my boys together for a little family photo shoot. I love getting professional pictures taken of the family. If you are ever in need of photographer, look up our wonderful photographer who loves to capture all our life moments. Thank you Emily for making my family look so good.









Random Pictures

I just got these cute Pumpkin Patch pictures from my father-in-law. I couldn't resist sharing them.

I love these two pictures. My little man is so angelic when sleeping.
After playing with Nana & Papa, Caleb fell fast asleep in his carseat before we could even get out of the neighborhood.



We took Caleb to the mall last weekend. He fell asleep after lots of power shopping.

19 Months Old

I can not believe Caleb is 19 months old today. Where has the time gone? My brother-in-law informed me last week that he is no longer a baby but a toddler. I can't accept that reality yet. Caleb is and will always be my baby.
I love each morning when I go into his room and he looks up at me and says "Dada?" Yes, he is a true Daddy's boy. I always tell him that Dada is at work but that Mama is here to love on him. He then says "Mama", gives me a kiss and hug and I pick him up. At which time he points at his books and says "Book." We grab a book and he points to the changing table where I lay him down to change his diaper. This boy knows his routine, it is SO cute!
Happy 19 Month Birthday Caleb!
Mommy & Daddy Love You More Than Words Can Say






These are two random pictures I wanted to share of my sweet baby boy.
Caleb, just looking sweet and innocent

Fun with Papa & Nana

Caleb got to spend Sunday afternoon with his Nana & Papa. Caleb loves going over to their house to play. They always play hard and keep him entertained. Here are some fun pictures from their house.

Caleb loves the Texas Rangers
(I love this funny face he makes)

Mommy helped Caleb plant some vegetables in the garden.



Caleb rode the tractor through the fields to harvest his crops


At the end, we sold our eggs, apples, milk, & veggies at the Farmers Market



We had a great time. Last year Caleb was too young to enjoy anything and this year he had a great time.

Pumpkin Patch

Recently we visited the Pumpkin Patch at the Dallas Arboretum. It was a gorgeous day and Caleb had fun with all the pumpkins.

Vegas Baby!!

In celebration of Braden & Matt's (bro-in-law) 30th birthdays, my sister and I surprised our husbands with a trip to Vegas. We had a WONDERFUL (adult only) weekend.

We stayed at the Planet Hollywood Towers
This is the view while laying in my bed. AWESOME!!

(yes, my picture didn't turn out good)

Our last night in Vegas we went to a yummy dinner at Mastro's. I recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.
We ate dinner in the "Tree House"



We had a great time away. But, I missed my little man SO much.
Thank you to Grandma & Grandpa for watching Caleb while we went on a vacation.
P.S. I have already suggested Braden start planning my 30th!
