Happy 5th Anniversary!!!

On June 18th, 2004 I met thomas and we started dating!! At first I was unsure of the whole thing, but as time went by I knew that I could not live without him!! We got engaged 6 months later and then June 18th 2005 we got married, exactly a year later :) This day is by far the best day ever.... and then June 18th 2006...lol, we started a family!! I am so happy that my life has been so great to this day!! I look forward to spending many many years with thomas and the girls!! For our 5 year anniversary we decided to do a quick little get away to prepare the girls for our week away in august!! (going to mexico for our"real" 5 year anniversary get away) We headed out friday afternoon to go to san antonio... the hill country!!! It was beautiful out there...

Thomas pretending he likes it!!

Every year we give each other gifts that have to do with the contemporary or

traditional gift idea. This year was wood!! We have enjoyed camping,

so thomas being creative got me things for the woods...

hence why i have an axe, a mess kit and a picnic table clips!!

I got him a wood magazine rack and some wine!!

Yes... its chocolate wine!! yummy!!

Happy Anniversary Thomas!!!

The girls....

I hate that i have not kept on blogging, let alone writing down important things that the girls have accomplished!! So this post is to try and get myself going on marking down when the girls accomplish things!! Olivia is my strong willed child, I really thought that she would be walking at the same time as kenz, which was right at 10 and 1/2 months!! not so much, she started taking steps right before her first birthday, and is walking so great now, by 13 and 1/2 months!! I am so proud of her :) she is saying so much, ball, this, dada, mama. she is trying to say kenzie, its real cute!! She is able to drink froma straw, from about the age of 12 months!! She loves to give kisses and love her lovie blankie bear!! She has 8 teeth and is only 18.2 pounds, she is a peanut, but can eat sooo much!! Her favorite foods are chicken nuggets and string cheese. Until I think of anything else .... thats it :)

We get to go to work with daddy

I thank God everyday that i have such a wonderful husband!! For those that dont know, thomas travels ALOT for work, especially through the summer. I am so thankful that he has such a great job, even if we dont see him every day!! Its really tough on the girls, especially kenz, since she knows whats going on. I am so lucky and feel privileged that I get to stay home with the girls, I know i should consider myself extremely lucky!! and I do!! SOooo on that note, we try and travel with thomas as much as we can :) this year has not been so much, since livie is not a huge fan of her car seat. But we decided to take the plunge and drive all the way to corpus with thomas. The beach, hotel and great food..... who can complain!! not us!! Daddy does have to work, but gets alot of time to play too... even though he hates to admit it!! he has a fabulous job ;)

So Excited to travel with daddy

Happy in the car, i held my breath all week!!

Some co-workers of thomas live right on an inlet to the ocean, so we

got to float in the ocean!! it was extremely relaxing!! even livie

loved it, but we didnt get pics of it, i was bummed!!

Enjoying the Texas Aquarium in corpus

A very hot day, but we could not miss the dolphin show

The ocean!! I am so happy that livie and kenz love the ocean!! I grew up on the east

coast, and lived at the ocean during the warm seasons!! I am

just so happy that my girls get to experience it too, i just wished we

lived closer!!

Trying this Again!!!

After a little bit of convincing.. I finally am going to try and catch up on some old posts... So much has happened since January. We have been so busy. Sooo here we go... January brought a very important day... My hubby's 31 st birthday!! Of course he was traveling that week so we went when he was home on the weekend to Waters Creek, it has some of my favorite restaraunts!! My inlaws, kenz and I brought him to PF Changs, its so yummy :) oh ya... thats where we went for my birthday too!! Thanks again girls :) It was a little chilly, but we put on some warm clothes and got to walk around the little stream and pet some fake ducks!!

Father inlaw, Thomas, Mackenzie and Mother Inlaw

ON A ROLL!!

Well I figured I would keep on going since I am on a roll.... Last weekend was absolutely beautiful here in texas, almost 80 degrees in January!! We decided to take advantage of it and spend some quality time outside. So with all our new toys from Christmas, we had a great time!!

Mackenzie and daddy spent some time riding kenzie's new bicycle from grandma and papa!!

Kenz trying it out by herself.... sometimes she can pedal alittle, she needs to grow longer legs.
Taking a break...

Relaxing with lollipops!!!

Using side walk chalk....

and blowing grape smelling bubbles...

I cant wait for the spring... i wish it was in the 70's year round!!!
