Celebrate!

Today is our 8th anniversary! We both cannot believe 8 years have passed but what a great 8 years it has been! If you go back and count all the years we have been together, it would total 13. We always joke about being high school sweethearts because I was Adam's high school sweetheart but he was not mine. :) Just because I was already in college when we started dating. Then there is the 2 engagements, yes, both to each other! We finally tied the knot and believe that God's timing could not be any more perfect. He truly knows what he was doing when he put the two of us together!
Now 2 kids, several homes, a few jobs, wonderful friends, many great trips, and already a lifetime of memories later we love each other even more. Here's a picture when we got engaged (the second time :) Can't wait to share in all the adventures ahead!

 

Visits from Papaw

My grandpa, Papaw, sold his house he has lived in for 60 years and moved to our city fairly recently. We have enjoyed having him close to us. He comes to baseball games and other activities and he always brings us ice cream several times a week. As soon as he comes in the door, the kids start saying "Papaw, I'm hungry." He smiles real big and heads to get some ice cream. Here is SOME of the cartons I took out of the freezer so we would have room for more! Times to cherish!

"I broke my pinger"

Averi shut her thumb in the door...it was terrible. We were having such a great time planting flowers when she asked if she could go get her drink. All the sudden I heard screaming so I ran to the garage and had to open the door to get it out. Poor baby! She had x-rays that showed she cracked the top bone. Amazingly, she was using it a couple days later. She just won't open or shut any door now!

Cleats and Heels

Our house right now in two words...cleats and heels. Every room is scattered with sporting equipment and princess accessories. Here are some pics from Carter's first game...he's on the Rangers. He had the most fans there cheering his name (because he called everyone he knew to invite them) and even coached Averi on how to cheer, "Let's go brother, let's go!"


Mismatched heels...and she can run in them!

Carter's prayer

Dear God,
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for our food.
And thank you for our next baseball game.
Amen.

Today was Carter's first baseball game. He LOVED it and was SO cute out there. I'll post some pics asap.
