Christmas Morning

Olivia and a sucker - what else do you need in a stocking???  

Happy girl showing off her kitchen

Cooking is serious business

Guys - someone called in their first order to my restaurant.....

PaPa - the vacuum is work, check out my kitchen over there

A baby and a new piggy bank to learn to count

She seriously shouted "SHOPPING" when she open the shopping cart - smart, smart girl!

Obligatory sucker break

Backpack, Backpack -we love our Dora!

Lisa stop posing for the picture, we have serious work to do here!


This was the first year for us to begin to really establish traditions in our family now that Addison is able to participate in so much more.  We debated as to whether or not Santa wrapped presents, where Santa would come (Grammy’s or our home), and various other things.  In the end, Santa brought stockings to our house, large unwrapped gifts to Grammy and PaPa’s and a ton of fun no matter the location.

Following Christmas brunch at Grammy and PaPa’s (this is the only one for which pictures exist at current) we headed out to PawPaw and MiMi’s for round 2 followed by a trip to Granny Virgie’s for round 3.  We didn’t make it home until 10:30, but we had a fun day of wonderful memories with our family.  We ended our night singing happy birthday to Jesus and look forward to telling Addison more and more about his birth and our salvation in the years to come.

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....
