Valentine's Day

Now that we are fully immersed in the school routine, we try to make it to each of Holton's events.

I was so happy to NOT be traveling on Valentine's Day. I was able to attend Holton's party at school.



Holton say he likes the girl to his left.


After the party I went back to work. At the end of my day, look who came to surprise me!! Weston really was happy, just a tad confused.

It was the perfect Valentine's. Thank you, Adam.


We finished the night with a heart shaped pizza. (I realize it looks deformed. Holton made me take off some pepperoni. He's a tad picky).

Woo hoo! A day at the zoo!

Texas is pretty awesome sometimes. We are blessed with some beautiful weather....in February.
A couple weeks back we took advantage of the weather & the kids to the Dallas zoo. We are so fortunate to live close to Patrick & Amanda. It's great to see our boys growing up with their cousin.
The 3 kids starting off our day!

Love my boys! Can't believe Weston looked at the camera.




Holton about to feed the giraffe.

We had a great time & look forward to many more adventures with all 3 kids.

Rub a Dub

I just love how they both covered themselves & made this pic family friendly. (Thanks to Adam for the photo)


They love to get a bath together. It's the one time they don't fight...for a few minutes.

Happy New Year!

Hello blog friends and family!  Well, 2013 didn't start off so hot for us.  The dreaded 2013 flu hit us hard!!  But, I think we are finally on the upswing this week. 

Hope all is well for you! 

How was your Halloween?

I have been traveling like a crazy woman over the past month or so, but thankfully I got back in town in time for trick or treating and all things Halloween!

Holton went as Power Ranger and Weston was a pirate. Adam painted Weston's face and I think he did a pretty good job!

 

 

 

 

 

Holton with our sweet little neighbor, Hallie.  They are so cute together....but Weston likes her too.  He always yells, "where's Hallie"?

 

One of the Kindergarten teachers at Holton and Hallie's school. We pretty much had to go to her house first. They think it's so cool a teacher lives so close.....just you wait till your 16, kids.

 

All the kids had a great time.  Now we are on a mission to get all the candy out of our house, before I eat it all! 

The adventures of Ian

 

 

Holton's favorite Texas Rangers player is without a doubt Ian Kinsler.  Holton went to a couple games this year (we'll skip over how the Rangers season ended).  Whenever Kinsler is up to bat, Holton will scream "Go Ian!  Go Ian!" 

Recently my Dad was heading back for another two weeks down in Columbia when he spotted an Ian Kinsler doll at the airport.  Isn't last minute airport shopping the best? 

Knowing Holton's love for Ian, my Dad snagged up the doll and kept him with him for a couple weeks in Columbia.  Dad decided to document all of Ian's adventures. 

Ian and the iguanas.  There are 3 - see them? 

Then Dad took around one of their coal mines to let him play on the huge machines (note that I don't know the fancy terminology for these things - sorry Dad!).

 

 

Then Adam and my Dad headed off to Colorado for a week to work on all things hunting cabin, deer stand, blah, blah.  Ian seemed to really enjoy himself!

 

Ian caught a mouse....gross!

Holton was very appreciative and loved seeing all the pics of Ian.  And I'm happy to report that Ian is safe and home with us now.  Holton sleeps with him every night! 

Weston turned two!!

It's so hard to believe that our little Weston Kirk turned two......way back on September 22nd.  I promise y'all I'm going to get in gear with this blog.

 

We went to Houston the weekend of Weston's party for our niece's wedding.  Glynna caught the bouquet at our wedding 12 years ago. Yes, this realization definitely makes us feel old! 

 

 

Weston had a great time at the rehearsal dinner! 

 

 

Getting ready for the wedding!  Don't pay any attention to Weston's hand placement. 

 

The beautiful couple

Holton with Glynna! 

The day after the wedding, family and friends gathered at Uncle Glyn and Aunt Karen's house to have brunch with the bride and groom. And.....they were sweet enough to get a cake for Weston.  It was a big hit! 

And what is is a birthday without a few presents. 

 Happy late Birthday, Weston.  We love you so much!!  We'll end this post with a typical picture of rambunctious, ornery Weston....holding a jug of beer....sans clothes.
