Zoo with Friends!

Decided to head to the Zoo and reup our annual pass since we are moving closer and love it so much! Enjoyed our day there with friends!

Amberlyn's Bday!

Aubrie's BFF turned 2 (coincidentally, it was on 3.19 which was Aubrie's technical due date)! Happy Birthday Amberlyn!

Off and Away! Seattle we will play!

So much fun vacationing with our family of four in Seattle (took a while to get the photos posted, but here they are!)

Aubrie is 2!!!!

Can't believe my little girl turned 2! She had a great party at the Children's Museum in Waco where we were blessed to be surrounded by our Dallas and Austin friends. It couldn't have been better!

Branson Missouri

Our family trip this year after Christmas was to Branson Missouri. It wasn't nearly as relaxing as it should have been, but we had a great time just being together and seeing the sites!

Christmas

I am sooo behind! Christmas was awesome this year and Santa and family spoiled us all rotten again! Here is a belated picture!

Cousin Photo Shoot

To surprise our Nana we took all the kids out in their finest attire and snapped a few pics! Cute kids = easy pics!

Tis the Season!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The lights are up, Santa has been seen, Christmas shows have been performed, and gifts are wrapped!

Final game of the Season....

And just like that our football season is over... well there is a bowl game, but we aren't going this year! Until next year! (or maybe baseball season!)

Renaissance Thanksgiving

This year we made the trek to the Texas Renaissance Festival instead of our Thanksgiving Hike. It was a perfect day and I so enjoyed sharing some of my old childhood memories with our kids. I think they really enjoyed it and I know the rest of us did!

Quince Anos!

A very special day to celebrate with my sweet Lauren for her 15th birthday! Aubrie loved watching the Princess, but wanted nothing to do with her, only her picture on the floor! The kids were being so sweet and loving during their dances, but Aubrie loved going limp so that she and her Bubba fell to the ground! They are so precious! And while we were down, we of course worked on our Dr. Suess Treehouse!

Third Day!!!!

I have been wanting to see Third Day in concert for sometime! I almost had Brandon convinced to whisk me off on a quick weekend trip, but they weren't playing anywhere cool at anytime we could get there near my birthday... BUT they were playing in Round Rock! So, although a little belated, we headed down to Round Rock, sans children, and met my good friends there to listen to the all day jams of some great Christian bands! A wonderful day, capped off by a great stay at a bed and breakfast in Belton. I think I am officially done celebrating my birthday for this year!

Celina Balloon Festival

Since the our trip to the Plano Balloon Festival got rained out in September, we searched high and low for another balloon festival and surprisingly found one right up the road in Celina! It was really cool to see the balloons and even got to see a couple fly! Branson was pretty exciting, commenting, "they are gigantic!"

Carving Carving...

Its our annual tradition to carve pumpkins.... each year it gets so much better as Branson is able to participate more in this family tradition! Aubrie even helped out this year on her own baby pumpkin.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Preston!

A Biggs Bash like none other... celebrating Preston's 3rd Birthday!

Tball

A few more tball pictures....

Happy Birthday to Me!

Brandon and the kids gave me a new camera filter and zoom lens for my birthday! So excited! So of course I already had to run out and take some pictures of my favorite subjects!

Sweet Baby Ella

Love this little girl! Can't believe that she is already one year old! Happy Birthday Ella!

Texas State Fair

We enjoyed our day at the Texas State Fair! Something you just have to do if you live in the state and especially if you live in the metroplex! They have crazy friend EVERYTHING! Brandon had a fried pineapple upside down cake while I enjoyed fried cookie dough! Yummy! The kids loved their chance to be rancher/farmers and even got paid at the end with a chance to shop at the general store! So much fun!

Fall Family Photos

Too bad we were melting... this place was really neat and the pumpkin patch was the best we'd seen in years!
