Beach in August!

 We went to the beach in August with Colt's parents, Casey and Austin. We had a great time! We all love the beach so much!! The boys LOVE the sand! Beckett LOVES the ocean too!! Parker is much more respectful of the ocean. I brought their puddle jumpers the last day and they both went way out into the ocean with Daddy! I was a proud Mommy!

A few weeks ago the boys and I went to Memphis to help Allison get ready to move in her dorm and she helped me with the boys. We had a great time visiting with family and friends! Colt drove in early the morning we moved Allison in to help us - best bother in law ever!

David's Wedding!

Colt's college roommate David Steakley, got married in Huntsville, Alabama a few weeks ago! It was mine and Colt's 1st night "out of town" away from the boys. They had a great time at Khaki and Pawpaw's house and we had a great time! Friday, we went to the rehearsal dinner and then out on the town :) Saturday, before the wedding Melinda and I had a fun day of shopping! There is an H&M in Huntsville - who knew!?! The wedding was a lot of fun and it was great seeing our college friends!

A few updates

Hi! I am sorry for my lack of blogging this summer! We have been busy - excuses, excuses :) 

I want to thank everyone who prayed for my sweet grandaddy Raymond. He passed away in his sleep early in the morning on July 19th. As much, and as selfishly as I did not want to lose my grandaddy I did not want him to suffer.  During one of my quiet times, I read this verse and I prayed this for my grandaddy - I found it so comforting. Here is the link to my blog about my grandaddy. 

"I will take the sting away from your death with the blood of my son" (1 Corinthians 15:55f).

We loaded up the boys and drove to Dallas, Texas on Friday for the funeral, and drove back on Monday. Then, on Thursday, I had surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I did not want to have surgery but it really needed to be done. I am SO thankful to my family and friends for their prayers and encouraging words. I didn't have many symptoms, except I was having this pinching feeling on my side. There were several gallstones and the doctor believes it was caused by my pregnancies. Colt, his mom and my mom came and took care of me and the boys! I am SO thankful to them! I am feeling good now - the hardest part was not picking the boys up for a week.

The boys are doing great! They are growing up way too fast!

During my week of rest, my sweet husband surprised me with two books I have been wanting to read. I thought I would share this one - it's so good and full of scripture! 

3 New Blogs Below!!

Hey guys! So sorry for my lack of blogging!! I have posted 3 new blogs below all about our sweet Beckett boy turning 2 years old! The last blog is party setup pictures :)

Beckett is 2 Years Old!

I cannot believe our sweet Beckett is 2 years old! The past year has gone by so fast! We are so in love with our sweet, wild, busy, loving and smart baby boy! We could not be more thankful to God for choosing us to be his parents! He has grownup so much over the last few months and has really started talking and acting like a big boy. His favorite things to say are "Where Daddy?", "I want popcorn", "Carker" - (Parker), "No", and "Hold you" (hold me).  Nap time and Bedtime are so sweet - I read him books, sing songs and rock him - it is the sweetest time with him!!!  We are loving this age!

On his actual birthday, we had a fun day at the pool with Parker, Mimi and Michele! Then, after nap we met Pawpaw, Khaki, Aunt Molly, Mimi and Michele at Chuck E Cheese! We played lots of games, and Beckett had 3 pieces of pizza, cake (for family), and he had a cookie. We found out Beckett is not a fan of cake or candles.  After Chuck E Cheese we went to the park and then came home and opened gifts from his birthday party! At first he was not into opening gifts and then, when he saw Parker pulling out the cool toys, he LOVED it and loved his toys! It was a great day spent with family celebrating Beckett!! We are so in love with him!!

Our love! 

 My baby boy!!
