Welcome Jack!

this past sunday we had a fun shower in honor of robin

who is welcoming jack into the world this march!

we made it a converse shoe theme - and it turned out pretty cute

(if i don't say so myself :))

how fun is it to work with artists to plan a shower?

i am lucky - their creativity is so fun!

here were the invites:

(water colored by the very amazing and talented darrah gooden, and designed by the equally amazing and talented erin gooden)

the spread:

darrah made these sugar cookies that you decorate with food coloring before you bake them.

they turned out really cute and so different!

i mean, how cute is this flower arrangement?

the banner:

the converse star cookies

the favors - they were bags of miniature star cookies with

tags that read just like a converse shoe

the people:

doesn't robin look beautiful?

she is going to be such a wonderful mommy!

amy and little miss molly

one of our gifts to her:

bright blue converse shoes

(she had her eye on them from peek - so it was fun to get her something we already knew that she would love!)

can't wait to meet mr. jack when he gets here!

Look whose . . .

sitting up now!

she is such a big girl!

she leaves with us on thursday - her first international trip :)

Snow!

We had a fun change of pace with the snow today!

(even though it was more like sleet and not really good soft, fluffy snow that you can make things with!)

the kids had fun in it for a little bit - until they realized how cold it was.

hope all of the snowy weather doesn't affect our flight -

we go through chicago (so please pray!)

i am in love . . .

with this little girl.

she is such a precious little thing and gives our life so much joy.

i am loving the sweetness you can sense with a girl -

even at 5 months

love these pictures.

they were her 3 month ones in salado

we go for her 6 month ones on thursday -

where does time go?

happy tuesday.

Cotton Bowl

On Friday we had the fun opportunity to go to the Cotton Bowl to see the Aggies play!

It was SO MUCH FUN!!

(even though the aggies didn't win)

I actually came away from the game realizing what great people aggies are.

i am still biased towards baylor but realize ATM would be a great option for our kids (and a lot more affordable!)

this was jayden's second aggie experience and he has loved them both.

his favorite part is the band.

he voluntarily put his thumb up for all the pictures :)

he has been thoroughly indoctrinated into the way of aggies

thank you chief & alice for such a fun experience!

Molly Elise Marable

My newest niece arrived yesterday!

Such a little munchkin!

I can't wait to get my hands on her.

Amy had Molly around 11 pm last night after 14+ hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing, the ended up doing a c-section.

Good thing ~ this little munchkin came out weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and had the cord wrapped around her neck twice!

All are well today and we are so glad she is here!

look at that head full of blond hair

i have some pics from the day of laboring, but only the above ones after she arrived.

i am going up there today so should have more to post later on tonite or tomorrow.
