Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today is our 8th anniversary! These last 8 years have been the best I could have hoped for! I love you, Jordan, so much! Thanks for always taking care of me and for letting me be me!

Before we went out last night, I asked the babysitter to take a picture of Jordan and me, and Claire just jumped right in. Love her!

We ate dinner at Christopher's World Grille. The food was great. And I couldn't decide on which dessert to get, so I got two. And then Jordan did the same thing. So we have plenty of leftover dessert in the fridge right now! (Sweet!)

Our Week with Ryan & Evan

We've had Ryan and Evan with us this week, and these kids have had some fun! They've also gotten into plenty of mischief, when not watched closely enough, but these are all parts of childhood, right?! I only have pictures of the nice and fun parts - not the mischievous parts!

A little music time is appropriate at my house!

Showing off their strong muscles

Evan really liked to wear Claire's orange jellies!

And finally, a little Friday afternoon pool time. Sounds fun!

Claire and Dad

Claire just LOVES spending time with her dad. He's such a fun guy, you know!

Here, she was excited that she got to sit on the counter with him! (I love the simple joys of childhood!)

Funny faces!

Here, Claire and Jordan built the Med and St. Joe's, (two of the places where Jordan works), out of Legos.

Class: C

We had one class on the letter C (quite a while back). Claire got to eat cookies and match crabs. It was simple, but when she asks to have a class and I have nothing prepared, simple is good!

Mother's Day

My girl and me on Mother's Day. I love her!

Some beautiful flowers Jordan got me!

I love being a mom, and I am so thankful for Claire. She's the best! I'm also so thankful for my own mom. I know she has done so much - and still does - for me! I'm also thankful for Jordan's mom. It's great to be a part of such great families!

Jennifer's Houston Baby Shower

My aunts and grandmom gave Jennifer a baby shower in Houston in May. Here are the pictures from it!

Aunt Carol, Jennifer, and Grandmom (Aunt Debbie was sick, so she couldn't make it).

The baby got lots of great things!

Ashley loved the polka dots!

Grandmom wanted the kitchen doors closed for her picture with Jennifer, so she closed them right on Marshall.

We all giggled!

And we got a great photo of these two!
