Maw Maw's 100th Birthday Celebration

In honor of Maw Maw's 100th birthday (Monty's paternal grandmother Rachael Pierce), we traveled to Amarillo for a party.  Addison was introduced to a number of extended family members including Maw Maw.  She was part of a very special photo that few will ever have the opportunity to be a part of - one that included FIVE generations.  We had a fun time in Amarillo which included many firsts for Addison including a hotel stay (Fairfield Marriot Amarillo) and birthday party.  She was very cooperative and let everyone hold her including the guest of honor.  We made the 5 hour trip in about 7 hours to accomodate Addison's feeding schedule.  She was a real trooper especially considering the long hours spent in her car seat.

5 Generations:  Granny Virgie, PawPaw, Dad, Maw Maw, and Addison


Great Grandchildren and Spouses

First night in a hotel.  We obviously adjust well to new locations.  She started in her pack-n-play but migrated to our bed about 4:45.

About Me

My photo
Our story began in 1997 during our sophomore and junior years of high school in Mineral Wells, Texas. Being the older siblings of sisters, we would occasionally have to provide transportation for the two girls, who happened to be friends. Monty and I became acquainted on one such drop off, and as they say the rest is history. Following graduation, Monty and I moved to College Station to attend Texas A&M and discover what the world had to offer. As luck would have it, our relationship continued to grow during our time in college, and Monty proposed in December 2003. Following a wonderful engagement, we were married on June 4, 2005. Following our honeymoon, we moved to San Antonio for Monty to work as a custom home builder and for me to begin my career as a CPA with a focus in audit. After three wonderful years in San Antonio, we said goodbye to all of our friends in July 2008 and made the move back to Mineral Wells where it all began for Monty to begin his own homebuilding business. We are very excited to see what the future holds and share those times with you....
