My Little Herd- Fall Edition 2015

It's been oh so long! If this blog supposed to be a virtual memory book for our family, I'm giving myself a D right now. I want to do better so here it goes....

Easton 3.5 years

-Loves dinosaurs! He can tell you all about their species, what they eat, how many feet they have

-Likes baseball, Paw Patrol and figuring out how things work 

-Can dress himself completely head to toe 

-Dislikes wearing pants

-Is quite the storyteller, I usually get an original tale every night before bed

-Likes to copy whatever Daddy does: mowing the lawn, making a fire, measuring things...

Presley 2 years

-Loves her big brother
-Likes building blocks and making original art
-Is a huge fan of Justin Bieber's song "Baby". Watches the video on repeat.

-Knows her colors
-Enjoys walking around the house in other people's shoes
-Sings constantly. Her favorite? The ABC Song
-Doesn't go anywhere without a bow. And don't even think about taking it off!

C+K

We celebrated 6 years at the end of August with a trip to the Hill Country. It was a perfect wrap to a busy summer- we floated the lazy river, ate some great food, spent some time at the spa and went horseback riding. (Photos above)

We also snuck in a trip to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, where we also ate some great food and took zero pictures. I was actually there for a work trip, so Chris spent time seeing the city while I worked during the day but it was still a treat to hang together at the end of the day.

Special thanks to my Mom, who kept our rugrats while we escaped for a few days and is still speaking to us.

And oh, we're having another baby!

E Turns 3!

On the tail end of the holidays, Easton had his 3rd birthday. I often hear parents say, "I can't believe my child is already turning this age" and I certainly understand that sentiment. But it's also kinda hard for me to remember life before he was here. I won't get all mushy right now but I'm beyond thankful for our kind-hearted, smart, strong-willed, curious, loving, little boy. 

Airplanes are everything right now, so we took that and ran with it...

He was so appreciative and excited for each gift. He told me, "Mommy, I'm SO happy!"

The party wore these two out...

Special thanks to Josh & Katie for taking this family pic...

Holidays

The holidays already seem like a zillion years ago but I'm just getting around to uploading all the pictures and re-living all the sweet moments. We all know the holidays can be crazy and busy and can have me feeling like this....

or this....

I truly love the holidays and despite our moving right in the middle of the season, it was a quite calm, relaxing, family-filled, beautiful time. We were grateful to host Christmas with Nani and Papa and bring in the new year with Mimi, Grandpa and all the cousins.

Cheers to 2015!
