Phoenix turns 4!!

Well as hard as it is to believe our first born turned 4 today. Byron and I took him to dinner and they brought him cake and sang to him. He was so cute and a little embarrassed when they sang. After we got home we had Josh, Chrissta and Xander (the big kids all had other plans) and Chad, Jeannie and Taylor (and Jeannie's parents) all over for cake and icecream. We had an awesome SpongeBob cake and then we opened presents. He got a bike and Leapster from Byron and I, a really cool sprinkler from Taylor and two Slip n Slides. One from Xander and one from Taylor Grandma and Grandpa.

After seeing all the fun water toys the kids wanted to play in the sprinkler. They had a blast. It was a very fun day!!!

The Doctor is in the House!!!

I am very proud to announce after lots of hard work Byron graduated today from Texas State University with his Phd in Education. It was a very proud moment for me. His Mother was also very proud. Zanell who is my mother in law's best friend flew in and so did my mother in law's cousin Virginia to be there for this monumental event!! I love you Byron and am more proud of you than you will ever know.

"Am I really 28?"

I had my 28th birthday last week and of course Byron went all out for me....First he took me to Fogo de Chao for lunch (YUM) then to see a movie, then back home where he had invited my sisters family and our good friends todd and katie to have dessert. He had an awesome coach bag cake made for me to match the real coach bag he got me as my gift......What a guy!!!
