Santa!

Erin, Amanda and I took our kiddos to see Santa at the mall today.  They all did pretty good too!!  The Santa this year was SO good!!  He actually talked to the kids and was excited to see how the pictures turned out.  I hope we get him the next couple years.  Amanda was also asked to read some movie lines for our local TV station.  We couldn't wait til this evening to watch her on TV!!

Here are pictures of Kagen the past couple years.

I think she was glad that was over with.

We had lunch at our favorite spot....Chick-fil-a. 

Later this afternoon Amanda and Kendall came over to play.  We also got to see Amanda on TV!!!  Amanda is letting me help with Kendall's first birthday party and I'm so excited.  She has a super cute theme picked out too!  So after the kids played a little bit we ran to Hobby Lobby to get supplies.  I can't wait to help her get things started.  He's going to have the cutest party!



Thanksgiving weekend

This weekend we were constantly on the go. I'm a little excited tomorrow is Monday.  Maybe we can get some rest?!  Ha! 

Saturday morning we had breakfast with MiMi, Danny and Danielle before they went back home.  Kagen had fun eating all of MiMi's breakfast too!  =)

Afterwards, I met up with my Mom to find some wrapping paper and some mesh for the Christmas tree.  I am still having a hard time with this new color scheme.  Kagen loves it, Lex likes it, so that's all that really matters.  I was able to find some bright green mesh to put in it.  I'm liking it a little better now.

After that we went spent the rest of the day at my Mom's house and visiting with some of our cousins that came in.  I love when I get to see them!!  They live in League City so we don't get to visit often.

That evening Lex, Kagen and I met up with Kathy for dinner.  Her and Billy left this morning to fly out of town so we wanted to see her and say bye. 

Kagen is a blessed little girl.  She was able to have Breakfast with MiMi, lunch with NaNa and dinner with GiGi.  How awesome is that??

Today, Lex and I helped in Toddler church and had so much fun.  The kids LOVE Lex.  I guess because he's one of them.  Ha!!  After church, we had lunch with my family then went to take some pictures for Christmas cards.  It was windy..... But, thanks to my Mom and Sis for being our photographer!

This is some of our family that came in.  After I took the first picture Kagen walked to the car, backed up and said, "Please!".  She wanted another picture!!   haha

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I have so much to be thankful for, I never know where to begin.  I'm so thankful for Lex and Kagen.  They are my world and I couldn't imagine my life without them.  I'm thankful for my and Lex's family.  We are both so blessed to have such a loving, caring, amazing family.  They have done so much for us that I couldn't possibly say thank you enough.  I'm thankful for my wonderful friends.  I'm pretty sure I have some of the best.  Thankful for my church home.  I'm thankful that the Lord has blessed me so much when I certainly do not deserve any of it.  I'm thankful that He is forgiving.  I'm thankful that our needs are met even when I gripe that my wants are not.

Thanksgiving day we had lunch at my parent's house. I, of course, ate way too much. 

After spending time with my family we went to Nanny's house for dinner.  Again, ate too much.

 Kagen also had a pretty rough day that left her with bruises and a bloody lip.  First, she hit her cheek on the door facing.....pretty hard.  Then, she was standing on a coupe chairs and fell hitting her bottom lip and chin on the table.  She was a trooper though.

The next day we had lunch at Mo and Pop's house.  We also celebrated MiMi's birthday which was the next day.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! 

My crazy girl

Kagen has been really hyper lately.  Her laugh is contagious too!  She loves to jump on the bed, run around the house, chase the dogs and just act plain silly.  She'll also pull on my or her Daddy's leg if we aren't paying enough attention to her.  I'm pretty sure she's going to be an actress. Ha! 

  Mo bought her the CUTEST hat so I thought she could model it since her mood was pretty good yesterday.

                                                  

                                                      

We took some pictures of Kagen in one of her Christmas outfits today.  I'm pretty proud of these pants that my Mom and I made.  But, sewing is hard....not sure I'm in love with it....yet. I also like that she can wear them with her Minnie top too!!

Most of the time we were downtown Kagen was distracted by a train.  She kept patting her chest and saying "Train!! Come here train!!."   

                                                                 "Where did it go?"

                                                             She makes my heart smile.

Our weekend

Saturday, we took Kagen to the Winter Wonderland event in Lindale.  They had all kinds of neat things for kids to do.  My Mom bought Kagen a little wrist band so she could ride any ride she wanted.  She's such a big girl!!  She even went down the snow hill not once but, twice. I think she regretted going down it a second time.  Ha!!

The whole time we were riding this she kept saying, "train, chooo chooo!!"

Balloons make this girl very happy!!  She didn't want to leave them!

I had to capture this on film.  This was one of a few meltdowns that day.  She wasn't in the best of moods but, I did notice her 2 year molars are starting to break through.  Thank goodness!! 

Kagen loves, loves, loves animals but, she wasn't too sure about this little ride so her NaNa walked with her. 

We had a great time spending the day with our family.  After we left I headed to Poynor to help set up for Stacy's baby shower the next day.   

Her shower turned out great  and she got LOTS of good stuff.  She is an adorable little pregnant person!!  I can't wait to hold that baby boy!

All the kids wanted to help open gifts. 

Me and the lil momma

 

I'm so excited that Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK!!!  Bring on the food!!
