BIG Helper!

My sweet and innocent little boy is into EVERYTHING! Yes I know this is what most toddlers do, but it can be a tad bit exhausting at times...especially when trying to get ready for a party.

Weekly Ritual

I have to say that Reed & I are definitely getting use out of our Hawaiian Falls season pass. When I bought it I told myself that I needed to attempt to make it at least once a week and I think I've been pretty successful. It gets us out of the house & Reed loves it. Monday, Jeni & I made the trek back out to the one in Mansfield to meet Megan & Katie. The kids had a great time and us girls had fun hanging out and catching up!

I could kiss those cheeks all day long!

J-Bug on the move.

Emilee & Reed
Reed looks put out in this picture but he was actually really happy! He loves little girls so he was quite content playing with Emilee & Lily and their necklace diving rings.

"What's that"
All day long he points at different things and says "what's that".
He was obsessed with a bucket that was constantly dumping over once it would fill with water.

Katie's Baby Shower

Saturday I helped host a baby shower for Katie. She got just what she needed to bring Briggs home.

Yes Erika & I are wearing the same dress...oops!

Katy made this cute little diaper cake.

Kim's yummy cookies.

First Steps!!!

Reed has finally decided he wants to start thinking about walking, on his own! He took 7 steps last Friday and has taken several more since then! I am hoping that he will be "full" on walking by the time we go to the beach at the end of this month. I know it's wishful thinking on my end but it would sure be nice.

Not the best picture, but the only one I have been able to capture!

Happy Birthday Brendan & Sarah

I know I haven't been the best blogger lately, but my life has been CRAZY. Last Friday we celebrated my niece and nephews birthday at my parents house. My brother-in-laws mom and sister came up from Houston to celebrate with us. We cooked out and had cold beverages by the pool. Happy Birthday Brendan and Sarah. You happen to be two of the coolest kiddos I know! My battery died on my camera so I don't have many pictures.

The Birthday boy & girl!

Hawaiian Falls Mansfield Style

Yesterday Reed & I met some friends at Hawaiian Falls in Mansfield. We had so much fun and it was great getting to see friends that we don't get to see on a regular basis.

Brooks & Reed

Noah

Anderson was hilarious in the splash park. He loved the water squirting him in the face.

Sweet little Avery. I miss having a 6 month old!

Attempting to get all the kiddos to sit by each other...
