question & things

                                             Jayden walking outside with dad
                                      Going down the slide at the neighborhood park
                                              First Baylor Baseball Game
                    Meeting Sparrow Bethany Daniel for the first time (isn't she so cute!)

Snack time in the church nursery on Sunday.  I thought it was so cute with all the little ones sitting like big kids around the table clockwise (jayden, davy, alayna, nate, joshua)

hello all!  i am about to switch jayden over to the next stage carseat and i was wanting some recommendations.  (some of you have already emailed me and for that - i thank you!)  let me know if you have any advice!  thank you so much!

i am posting some pictures of what we have been up to lately.  the park, baylor baseball game with grandparents (first of many i am sure - my dad is a big baylor baseball fan - has season tickets every year), meeting sparrow, church, and playing outside.  jayden is so close to walking - it is so funny because he will pull himself up and then search for my hands to assist him while walking.  he is so sweet - of course he has a couple of teeth breaking through so that is making for some difficult days - but still a sweet, active little boy that i am so thankful for!  have a good monday!

ridiculous + happy mother's day

yes - we are wearing matching shirts - and i don't have anyone to blame except myself. it started innocently, it was cool outside yesterday so i thought i would put on my seaside shirt in the afternoon & then i found myself doing the same for jayden. we went to jordan's softball game that night and that is when i finally realized that yes - i am indeed a "dorky" mom.  oh well - i still think the shirt's are cute! 

seaside pictures

here are some more pictures from our trip. enjoy! happy tuesday! (click on the title if you want to learn more about seaside)

first's @ seaside

we just got back from beautiful seaside, florida. it was an amazing time of relaxation, beautiful beaches, five star food, fun time with family, and first's for jayden. if you ever get the chance to go to seaside - i would highly recommend it - it is a quaint little town where everyone walks or rides bikes - an adorable town square and no commercialization. while we were there jayden had some of his first - i have pictures to document these - 1. his first word - ball 2. his first clapping of hands 3. his first experience with sand. 4. his first ocean view 5. his first bide ride (he didn't like the helmet and kept trying to take it off & i think purposely would drop his pacifier on the ground while we were ridding to we would have to stop and pick it up) - and many more i am sure but these are the few that come to mind. enjoy - i will post more of the trip soon!

Pool Party Fun

Jayden and his friend Sara had their first pool party on Monday. We had so much fun in the little blue pool! Sara and Jayden splashed around and played with the toys and Magen and I were able to sit around and enjoy some true Alabama sweet tea! Thanks for letting us come over and play! Doesn't Jayden look cute with his big belly and little chicken legs:) Thank you Grandmommy and Chief for the adorable bathing suit - we love it and will enjoy wearing it on our trip to Seaside Florida next week!

Ranger Game

monday night jayden and i headed out to arlington for a ranger's game. our good friend robin was honored as "teacher of the year" for her school in garland isd. we were so proud of her and glad to be able to support her in her big accomplishment! we were sad that jordan couldn't make it because he was at home leading a group at our house. we had fun with friends and jayden got his first experience with garlic fries (it was actually my first experience too!) we had a great time even though we were not able to root the ranger's on to victory!

Joshua's Birthday @ the Arboretum

Joshua Steven's turned one last week and had a party at the arboretum to celebrate. It was a beautiful day today and we were able to enjoy the last day of Dallas Blooms! It was so much fun. Jayden loved being outside, especially because he has a new baseball hat that helps keep the sun out of his eyes:) (isn't it so cute - my mom and i found it this week and decided that he HAD to have it considering his dad, all uncles and both grandfathers are all baseball players - or they were baseball players and now are softball players.) We had a great time and Happy Birthday Joshua! We remember when you were just a prayer in your parents hearts - and now you are one! Wow - time goes by so fast. Hope you have a good monday!
