Birthday

This was a big year for you and we couldn’t be more proud of you.

You’re an amazing young man. There is such sweetness about you and you are so sensitive to people’s feelings.

This year you asked Jesus into you heart. It was a sweet moment. We were reading a book about heaven and you turned to me and told me that you love Jesus. I told you that we love Him to and He is real special to us. You sat there for a second and then told us that you wanted Jesus in your heart and that you wanted us to help you pray. Right there in Anna’s room, mid book, in our jammies, you asked Jesus into your heart. You were so happy and excited and were ready to tell the world.

You had some great developments this year. You are learning so much in Pre-K and absolutely love school. Even your friendships are becoming more complex with conversation and playing.

You were prophesied over a few times but one recently was that you have a Samuel anointing on you and that you will see things and being able to lead people because of what you see.

We love you buddy and are so happy that God has appointed us as your parents. Each day is a blessing and we cherish every hug, every conversation, every movie night, and every moment we have with you.

Happy 5th Birthday Timothy!

Birthday Fun

I always go out to eat for my birthday but I always go to Olive Garden. I decided to switch it up this year and go to a place in Fort Worth.

I had a great time surrounded by my family and friends. Thanks for celebrating with me!!

Thanks for your support and love!

I hope you have a great Octimber and excellent year!

Mom's Birthday Party

The family took my mom to Macaroni Grill for her birthday. Any time we can get together and celebrate, a good time will be had.

Love you Mom! Happy Birthday!

Bicycle

We gave TJ a bike for his birthday. He is trying to get used to it and is starting to master it. I have a feeling this is going to take some time.

Happy Birthday TJ

It is hard to believe that you are 4 years old. You bring so much joy and laughter into our lives. Your teachers love you, your friends love you, kids and adults love you. You are just a great kid and are turning into a fantastic young man. Thank you for loving me and wanting to cuddle with me on the couch and watch movies. I always know that any time I may want to veg out that you'll be right there with me covered up eating some type of snack. Love you my T-man. 

TJ's 4th Birthday Party

TJ wanted a Thomas the Train train. I decided to make the cake this year. It was fun to figure out how to have it set up and make it come together.

This was the first we could invite kids from his class at school. It was a lot of fun.

My Birthday!

Thank you so much to everyone who made my birthday special.

Tuesday on my actual birthday Tim, TJ and Anna took me to Little Italy to eat dinner and then to Braums for ice cream. It was so much fun spending my birthday with my little family.

On Friday night I had a bunch of friends and family come out to dinner at Olive Garden. After dinner a few of us went to Cowboys for dancing! a BLAST!

Anna's Party

Thank you to everyone who came to Anna's party. We had a great time and Anna was so blessed with toys and clothes. Food was great, cake was great, and Anna had a blast playing and hanging out with everyone.

Here are a bunch of pictures from the day:

Happy Birthday Anna

A year ago today we were at the hospital getting induced so we could meet our little girl. Dr. Peppler thought she was going to be huge. TJ was huge and we thought for sure she would be huge too maybe even bigger since she was already in my stomach a week longer than TJ was. Labor was quick and she was born at 1:05 pm. 3.5 hours after my water was broken. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20 inches long.

She has been such a joy and a wonderful addition to our family. Her little character is constantly cracking us up. She is interested in details. She'll hold on to something and look at every aspect of the item. She makes the greatest faces. She loves, absolutely loves her brother. He has her attention all the time. They wrestle, the try to talk to each other, the laugh, the play, its really sweet.

Anna is already a little worshiper. She will raise her hands in church. When I hold her and I sing. She becomes so peaceful and will just relax in my arms.

She explores everything, she'll go off by herself and play but she also loves to be around everyone.

This year has been so wonderful. Thank you Anna for keeping us on our toes, for bring a joy to our home, for being unique, for being you. We love you baby girl.

Happy birthday Anna Banana!
