Family photos

Every year in the spring at church we have a week called "Friendship Week." During this week everyone who wants to participate signs up and you get a family assigned to you. You are supossed to do at least 3 nice things for that family during the week. You can do it in secret or not.

Well we were lucky enough to have gotten our gifts from the Penman family. Vince http://vincepenman.com/ and Rachael http://www.rachaelpenman.com/index2.htmlare both photographers and for our third gift they gave us a family photo session. I had just found out I was pregnant so I asked Rachael if we could wait until I was further along to do the photos.

We had our shoot and Rachael did an AMAZING job!!!

September recap

We have been staying very busy like usual....We have done several things in the last couple of weeks.

Phoenix went to his first soccor practice only to find out they didn't put him on the team....that was a bummer.

Byron and I took the boys to Austin parks and Pizza for Family night....They had alot of fun playing arcade games and going down the huge slide.

Man I am so grateful for my cute little family:0)

Let's go to the circus!!

We have made it an annual family tradition to go to the circus. This was our third year to go. The circus comes every year around August. It is alot of fun. I was worried this year it would be hard for zion to sit still that long...but 1he LOVED it. He clapped and laughed the whole time. I can't wait till next year!

Calling all Super Heros!!

One great thing about having boys?? I always have a super hero close by!!!

Our trip to Oregon (Sorry may be a picture overload)

We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary this week in Oregon, all of my siblings and their families either flew in or drove in to all be there for the celebration.

We started the week off by staying 2 nights 3 days in a beach house at the Oregon coast (GORGEOUS) we had so much fun playing on the beach, eating at Mo's, going to the aquarium and just spending time all together.

After the beach we all went back to my parents house for the next 4 days. We had 23 people in the house. It was so fun. My kids had a blast playing with all the cousins.

We had a huge family photo session and a party for my parents. It was a really great week!!

Taking the boys on a Date!!

The other day Byron had a billion and one things to do, so I decided to take the boys on a little lunch date. Phoenix of course picked McDonalds as the location. We had a great time hanging out and playing on the slides!! Man I love these boys.

Phoenix Graduates from Preschool

Well we made it through our first year of preschool. Phoenix LOVED school. Every single day he would ask me if he had school that day. He went on Tues and Thurs and those quickly became his favorite days of the week.

One of the Mom's in our group hosted a little graduation party for the kids. They had so much fun frosting cupcakes, jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler, and getting their diplomas...

So fun!!
