Father's Day 2011

Getting geared up to watch the Aggie baseball team... but out for a bite of steak first!

 What can we say, Honey?! You are the best of everything for and to us. We love, love, love you!

Happy Daddy's Day!!

More B-day Shenanigans

Fire Engine Party!

"Gig'Em Aggies!"

Thanks Uncky Lane and Auntie Saman-ta!!

 "Paging Dr. Caden and Nurse Charlotte, STAT!" Papa and Pam sent Caden's cute Fire Engine #3 shirt!

 Birthday brunch with the kiddos at our local Cracker Barrel! Yummy!

We celebrated with barbecue for dinner - Caden's request, of course!

 AND enjoyed a fire engine birthday cake with our big 3 year old!

 Then time for a few presents from Daddy, Mommy and Charlotte!

 The new Cars 2 characters Cade loved; the clothes he dug; but the Cars tent was the hit of the day! 

May GOD bless you during the next wonderful year of your life, Son. You are so amazing and we cannot wait to see what you give back to this world!

Chief Caden is Turning 3!

We celebrated Caden's third birthday at the Houston Fire Museum last weekend. He had so much fun playing in the fire truck with his buddies! Everyone dressed up like firemen and ladies and slid down the fire pole. Thanks to all who joined us for this special event!

Beach Time

At the Seaside

by R.L. Stevenson

When I was down beside the sea

A wooden spade they gave to me

To dig the sandy shore.
My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.

Below, Charlotte and Aunt Sasa relaxing in the sun.

 Show your muscles! "GRRRRRRRR!"

Charlotte to Daddy, "Don't leave you! I'm coming for me!"

It was sooooo hard to pack up and leave Port Royal and the beach. But riding down on the luggage cart was a good distraction!

If you have ever been to Port Aransas, then you have probably also had your picture taken in one of the five giant shark mouths! Always good for random fun!

The Arnolds

 The weekend was full of celebration for Christina and Justin!

The event, beautiful and classic, was special for us to attend.  Ryan and Justin were in PPA together A&M and I have loved getting to know Christina over the past few months.

From "sawing varsity's horns off" to blowing bubbles as they ran out to their golf cart decorated in Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez paraphernalia, much fun was had by all!

 We were all neighbors at TAMU, on Vassar Ct, many years ago!

Cheers to Scott Ball and Congrats to the happy couple!

Last Day for Twos

 It was an ice cream and cookie celebration!  Caden was very excited, as usual, for his last day of Twos.  Watching the kindergartners walking in, in their "Sunday's best" for graduation, that morning made me pause with sadness knowing Caden and Charlotte are just a few years away from that scene...

 We loved his teacher, Ms. Julie!  We are so thankful for her guidance and patience with the kiddos!  What a great year!  Check out the cuties below.
