I am a wife. I am an anti-mini van, carpooling in a slug bug mom. I am a lover of God. I am a dreamer of God-Sized Dreams. I am a little on the OCD side...okay, maybe a lot on the OCD side. I am a rule follower with a little rebel nature. I am a reality tv show lover. I am a kid at heart. I am an extrovert. I am a friend. I am me. I am just a girl, trying to make the most of the life God has called her to live.

Baby Mason!!!

(Here is another post that never posted...ugh!)


A few weeks ago we became Great Uncle & Aunt to a sweet little baby boy named, Mason! Darren's nephew, Brandon, & his wife Lacey had a little boy & man, is he a cute little guy!! We got to meet Mason when we were in Houston celebrating Mother's Day with all the "Moms" in our family!!

It was so fun holding a little one again & I'll admit it made me very sad that my kiddos are no longer "little". (Although, I must point out that neither one of them were that little even when they were "little"...Grace weighed 8lbs 7.5oz & Luke was a whopping 10lbs 1oz!)

Baby Mason is such a good baby...he reminds me of Grace in that aspect! He hardly made a peep the entire time we were there!

Grace was excited to hold him & she did so well!! Again, it made me sad to see how "big" she looked holding that sweet baby boy. Luke didn't pay that much attention to him until we were about to head home.

Here are some pics of sweet baby Mason and pics of our families together celebrating our Moms!!

Mother's Day!

(Not sure why this never posted...but here it is...better late than never!)


I love Mother's Day! Not just because of the presents or "day off" that I get, but the fact that for one day I get to hear my kiddos tell me again & again & again, "Happy Mother's Day, Momma!!" They try to make the day so special & you can see their excitement by looking in their eyes! Makes me feel ever so special!!

I was surprised with some K-cups for my Keurig (that I got for my bday a few weeks ago) & a K-cup caddy! Plus there were many homemade pictures & cards!

We went to church, had lunch & then headed out to an afternoon with our friends the Sturdivant's. It was a day of being silly, laughing at anything & everything, boat rides, golf, sunflower seeds, Chicken Express tea, sun & most of all FUN!!





My Gracie girl!
My Lukie boy!

Love these two!!

Grace, Abbey & Luke!
Only the two of us would both have orange socks!
Missy & "Fikes" (It's really Spikes, but Luke has changed it forever!)
This is a real attractive pic...with my mouth full of seeds!
Missy is about to whack that ball!

Just chillin...

Pro Darren...
So glad I am not a pro!
Ready for the boat ride...
Grace & Abbey!

Wonder if he's bored...

Abbey & Luke!

Someone looks comfy...

Missy & Grace!

He was excited!








This was right before the boat broke down! ;)

Part of the gang...

Checking out the water...

It was such a pretty day!

Grace's turn to "drive"!

This girl did NOT sit still the entire ride!

Me & Luke chillin...


Random wildlife...

I love sunsets on the water!

So pretty!

Perfect ending to a perfect Mother's Day!

My little family!
