We had so much fun at Blakely's 1st birthday party! Thanks again to everyone that came. It meant so much to us. I wish I had more time to visit with everyone. You will all have to come back soon! B loves all her book, cds, toys and new outfits. Here are a few pictures from the party- sorry I did not know how to fix the red eye.....

Party!

The cooks!

Blakely's friend Jack

Blakely has a very good friend named Jack. It is so fun to see them play together. Look at this video of him talking about his friend.

She's one!

Blakely is one today! I cannot believe it has been a year already. Here are a few pictures of the b-day girl. Blake and I sang to her as we got her out of bed this morning. I made her bug shaped blueberry muffins for breakfast and she will have a spaghetti dinner with a homemade cake tonight. Happy birthday Blakely Julia! I love you with all my heart!!!

Confessions of a bad blogger

I know I have been the worst blogger! I promise to add some new pictures very soon. I am sure I will have a bunch from B’s b-day party. Someone made me sign up for Face Book and it has been a little addictive so I have neglected the blog during my free time.

Blakely is about to be one!!! I can’t believe it- seems like we just got home from the hospital. Blakely has been such a blessing and we love her so much. She is starting to take a few steps on her own.

Wimberley Work Weekend

Blake, Gary, Blakely and I went to Wimberley this weekend to do some work. Blake and Gary worked very hard and Blakely and I ended up relaxing and taking some great naps! We stayed in this great house on the river. The surroundings were beautiful. Blakely and I enjoyed looking at all the birds, walking down to the water and even getting a few visits from the neighborhood dogs. B loved it!

B got to see cows, donkeys and longhorns up close.

Gary was a great help!!! B had a great time with her GG.

Daddy was great too!

Here is a picture of the back of the house. If you ever need a country get away I know of the perfect place!

my BFF

I had the best birthday!!!! We had a great day with family- we started out at Markie’s house and then headed down to the Stockyards for some BBQ and ended the night at Billy Bobs! Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun day!

Christmas

We had such a nice Christmas with lots of family in Fort Worth.

We are back on the blog!!! After a few months of being in a deep depression about Blakely’s blog disappearing I decided today to just recreate it! I added all the old posts that I could. So I will catch you up with some news and pictures from October….
We had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think Blakely enjoyed them both. She got some great toys from Christmas. She is really getting all over the place now- and is fast! She loves pulling up and walking around tables. We are still doing Kindermusik, MOPS and story time at the library. B loves getting out!

pumpkin patch party

We took Blakely to a Pumpkin Patch Party today at the local Nursery/garden center. They had a petting zoo where she enjoyed looking at all the different animals. She had a lot of fun. B just started making this funny face every time you point a camera at her. She thinks it is cute- you be the judge!
