Yea--HE DID IT!!!!

Bryan has finally graduated from Law School!! The

ceremony was the weekend of Memorial Day. I have to brag a little bit--he graduated Summa Cum Laude! It hasn't been easy, to say the least--tired wife, busy kids, new baby, Brad passing--but he pushed himself and succeeded--we are so proud of him!

Macie's First Bath

No, Macie is not just now getting her first bath as a 2 month old! I just forgot to put these pictures on at the time...she does better now, but wasn't too fond of the water at first!

Mother's Day

Whenever Mother's Day roles around, it's hard to think about it applying to me--to me it has always been about my mom, mother-in-law, grandmothers. This year it really seemed to hit home that it was my day, too--maybe having 3 kids now helped me realize that! I am sooo blessed to have such a wonderful husband, and 3 beautiful children that call me "mommy"!

Mini-Vacation

We recently enjoyed a "mini-vacation" to Sea World and Kerrville. Bryan had one week off between finishing with school (!!!) and before starting a class that will prepare him to take the Bar in July. We went to San Antonio, and stayed in a really neat hotel, the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch, which I would recommend to anyone on great price and awesome accomodations! The kids had a blast in the swim areas, and they even had "personal" campfires where we could make smores--yummy! We enjoyed Sea World 2 days, and on the second day Gena and the boys joined us, which was great. We then went on to Kerrville, where Alli joined us in visiting the rest of the family except for Krista and Kendall. It's so fun to watch our kids around their cousins--they love being with them! If you are wondering about the "dancing" pictures, someone put on a cd of George Strait, and we all grabbed a partner! I am way behind on blogging--so I"ll be trying to catch up in the next several days...

Camera Fun--Again

Well, I know I'm no professional, but this sure was fun! Macie was very tolerant of me, at least for a while. She is really changing fast, and is only 3 weeks old! By my scale, she is weighing 10 pounds already--the girl loves to eat!!

Visit from Meme and Dan

Meme and Dan (Brad and Bryan's Uncle Gene and Aunt Linda) came over for a visit last week to meet Macie. My two older children seemed to think they were starved for attention and pretty much tackled Dan as soon as he came in--they had him playing chase, horses, and all sorts of things! Meme was smarter and just held Macie! As you can see, Dan was all pooped out at the end!

Papa Has His Hands Full

I thought this picture was sweet! He definately has his hands full now, huh?!
