Lauren & Brandon's Wedding


Before we left for our week long vacation to South Texas, we first attended Lauren and Brandon's wedding in Waxahachie. Google got us and a lot of other guest lost so it took us a little while to get there but we finally made it right before the wedding party started down the aisle. Preston didn't want to sit and watch the wedding so him and I explored around the ranch along with another 18 month old little girl who had the same idea. It was pretty hot that evening but she decorated everything very cute and the venue was rustic and romantic. Preston had a great time running all around and crawling under the fence to escape.

 It was hot so Preston needed his drink
 There he goes
 There he goes again

Brent's 2nd Father's Day


Father's Day for Brent was pretty low key. He got to open his gift from Preston that he made at his school and then Preston helped Brent open his present from mommy which was a new fan to help keep him cool in the bathroom when he is getting ready each morning.
Brent loved the baseball Preston's school made with Preston's hand print. I loved it too. It was soo boy!

Happy 2nd Father's Day!!

Jerod's 6th Grade Graduation


My little nephew Jerod is 12 going on 25. I am so proud of him for many reasons. First, he is the most respectful kid I know. He shows the utmost respect to his family and peers and tries his hardest to always do what is right. He is very smart and creative. He takes ownership in knowing his strengths and doesn't dwell on his weaknesses. He isn't the most athletic person so he focuses his energy on arts, creating things from nothing and uses his creative wits to crack jokes to make people smile and laugh. He was commended on his STARS test because out of the whole test, he only missed 2 questions. He is an only child but you would never know it as he doesn't take anything for granted and he is always appreciative of any gift he receives. He is a typical teen right now with a squeaky voice and raging hormones but in the mist of all that, he is my pride and joy and I love him with all my heart. 

Congratulations to my little nephew and we can't wait to see what is in store for your next chapter in life. 
7th grade here he comes!!!
