Henry and Ashley

Is that a great looking couple or what!!
While I was in California, Henry and Ashley got to go to the Marine Ball, while I watched the kids.
But really it was just listen for the grand-kids while they slept! They were so good, and mommy worried for nothing!

LOOK WHO'S TWO!!

                            DALLAS!!
                                              Happy Birthday! Love You.

Little Henry

NCJLS 2012

The quilt was this year's scholarship quilt, so beautiful, makes me want to learn to quilt.!! They auctioned it off at the end of the livestock show, but I don't know how much they got for it.
This was Ryan's pig this year named Turbo!!
This is the load of some of the prizes
they won for all their efforts. Nice!!!
This is the BBQ trailer that Ryan and Wyatt built for the shop project at the Nueces County Livestock Show. They won first in their class and first in their division. They had a silent auction and was sold for $3500.00. Good job guys, we are really proud of you.

Just A Little Dally

While I was in California, Dallas turned "1"years old. !!

Hard to believe, where has the time gone. She is so sweet and easy going. So adorable.

I miss you so much. Love you.
August 26, 2011 we left Corpus Christi at 5:00 p.m. and headed to El Paso for my Daddy's memorial. We got to Van Horn at about 2:00 a.m. and sleep for a few hours until 7:30 and drove to the church for the service on Saturday 27, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. It was a very nice service and was really great to see some family that I haven't seen in years. Sunday morning we started back to Corpus Christi, Did I mention that we all drove in my SUV: David, Me, Ryan, Bobby, Chance and Jessica. It really wasn't that bad, good family time!

What beautiful little girls!!

Parker's 4th birthday and (Sammy's birthday was August 17th) was on that Friday, so after the service on Saturday, we had a party for her and celebrated my Daddy's life.

August 5, 2011
My Daddy went home to be with his Lord and Saviour. After a very long fight, he is finally resting in peace. We miss him terribly and love him so much. My heart aches, but I am very
comforted to know he is in Heaven.

These were on my front porch when I got home from El Paso. Really pretty.


A visit to El Paso.
These are some of the pictures from my recent trip to El Paso.
It was a combo trip for sure-Visit family, Matthew's 1st birthday, & Easter.
The kids opening Easter stuff.

Grandpa & Dallas.


Parker, Parker I miss you.

Dallas is such a cuddle bug, sweet time.

Sweet little face.


These are the Easter Eggs Parker & Samantha dyed.
They have glitter overlay. Great job girls.


I love you Daddy, care take, see you again soon.

Uncle Ry & Dallas

Daddy calls Dallas affectionately the Michelin tire baby!
She is adorable, I love the rolls!!

One of the main reasons for the trip to El Paso was to see my daddy.
He has been in the hospital for a very long time. please pray for him.
He has just been moved to a very intense rehab. Hopefully he will get
to go home real soon. This was the day he got to go outside and see all
the grand & great grand baby's.
Dallas is a hoot, I can't believe how much she has grown.

Parker & I got to spend a lot of time together this trip, so much fun.


They made Matt a Hungry Caterpillar cake, unfortunately
I didn't get a picture of the whole cake. Really awesome cake.

Uncle Mike and Dallas. she likes the men in the family.


While we were in El Paso. we celebrated Matthew's 1st Birthday.
hard to think he's a year already. wow.
Ashley made this banner for the party, so cute.
Hit of the party decorations.

Cute little girls.

I found these matching birthday party dresses at Cracker Barrel,
in honor of Matthew's 1st birthday.


I love these pictures, I think the girls look so cute.
They had so much fun together in El Paso


Parker & Samantha in there matching birthday party dresses.

This is my cactus right outside my front. It's really pretty in bloom.




The Warren's




Samantha actually liked the beach and water this trip.

And Matthew, what an awesome little boy!


At one of the tourist trap shops, Sammy found a cap
with long hair like Parker.

It's about time! I am so far behind on blogging.
Sam, Michelle and the kids came for a visit. We
went to the beach, aquarium and a ride on the ferry.
We had such a great time.
