SF

Headed to SF to see my brother with Robert and the boys. Looking forward to seeing my brother and seeing his new house. If mom were alive, I am sure she would be going with us. Praying for a wonderful trip with lots of fun memories made.

19 years and counting

Robert and I celebrated our 19th anniversary in December I gave him a deck of cards with 52 reasons I love him. It was fun to make this for him. I would challenge you to do this for your spouse. It was super fun.

Travis

I Can't Believe you are 12. I remember finding out that we were having  another boy and realizing my dreams of pink were over, but never have I missed being a girl mom. Since day one you have been headstrong. Coming weeks early and causing quite a fuss your first year. You always knew best how to do everything yet still wanted mama close by. You began memorizing scripture at an early age and came to know and love the Lord. You have always had a soft spot for the little ones. Little t soon turned into little and you took the name in stride even telling others that was your nickname. You are VERY competitive and love to compete with  your brother for everything. Your life has been less than easy but VERY blessed. Your stamina and character are  marked by joy, peace and persistance. I love your ability to learn or try anything once you know it's safe. You continue to amaze us with your athletic abilities and your competitive spirit. You will fight till the bitter end. You love school and your friends, sometimes friends more than school.  Daddy and I are so proud of your learning to read again with Libby and all that it takes to get it done. Your love for your brother shows daily as you encourage him and praise him for a job well done. Your love for books  is something you shared with your mimi. No one loved you more than her and in her eyes you could never do anything wrong. She was your champion. Thank you for being you and all that God has called you to be. We know that the Lord has mighty plans for you. Use those gifts well and continue to bless others with your sweet spirit, smile and of course that hair. Looking forward to another year of fun times with you. WE love you mom and dad and Trey.

And these two cuties

Fun with Friends

A fun ladies night out at the mavericks game....

Stress Fractures.

How can one have four stress fractures in their foot and not know the cause? I am not sure how it happened but four stress fractures later my foot is in a boot for 6 weeks. It is lovely and matches all my outfits. All the rage in footware....

Where to begin

No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth and usually no news is good news but in our case lack of postings doesn't always mean lack of goings on.... ha Trey will have jaw surgery again on Feb 23. to remove the bone spurs that keep growing. This scooter incident seems to continue to cause issues.  Trey is less than thrilled with the idea. Keep reminding him that one day when he is grown he will appreciate the fact that his jaw is not distorted and his teeth are aligned. We will see....
