Happy Birthday Braden!

Last night we went to a super fun birthday and even better we remembered the camera. Braden Brown, our Sunday school teacher's son turned 3!! They had a great party and even got a water slide and pinata for the kids. It was a green and black "army man" birthday and Braden seemed so happy. I love the fact that he had to have his goggles on when playing on the waterslide. Annalisa especially loved the slide; she couldn't climb up it so Massy had to lift her every time. She probably went down it around 20x's and even went down head first after watching her friend Allison try it.

Lil' Aggies: Taylor (age 5), Annalisa (almost 2yrs), & Presley (18m)
Look closely at Annalisa's dress. A friend made it for her before she was born and I just love it. It's white w/ little A&M seals and "gig 'ems" all over it. It's really cute.



So Jennifer & I made our yearly trip to Aggieland. Jennifer was one of my roomates & best friends at A&M; she lives in Hamilton, TX (a small town outside of Waco). We meet once a year at A&M since it is about 1/2 way for us and of course we rarely ever make it back so we both are excited to see how much it has changed. Her daughter, Presley and Annalisa are about 6 months apart so we tell them they are future roomates class of '30. It's our goal to get a picture of them every year until they graduate from high school. (I'll put up last year's pic in another post.) We did decide this year that we might need to make 2 trips though 1 with kids (for our pic) and 1 without so we can actually enjoy each other :)

Finally!!

I have to brag on Massy for a short minute. He finally did it. He's been trying to get it for quite a few years now and it finally happened. The funny thing is that Saturday morning he woke up and told me, "I'm going to work outside today and clean up some of the flowers because I'm going to get yard of the month today". Later on that afternoon a lady came to the door and when I went to answer it she said, "Do you mind if I leave this in your yard?". I was so happy for Massy and yelled at him to come out. I told her what he said that morning, and she told him he needs to go to the corner store to buy a lottery ticket.

Picking Flowers

Annalisa is just like her Papa' in the way that they both love flowers. Massy loves to spend time outside in the yard. He also loves to plant flowers and I have to brag that he does a great job (the flowers above are all Massy's). Massy has taught her to pick flowers and smell them so every time we go for a bike ride she wants to pick everyone's flowers. The bad part about it is Massy lets her!!
