Snow and Anthonys big day

First big snow storm.

Anthonys birthday breakfast. We always open presents and have their favorite breakfast. Of course he chose a chocolate donut. Presents, YES!

He was very excited for his new toys. Angel was out of town in Houston for work and had to miss the celebration that morning. We were glad he got home later that day.

More fun in the snow!

Fall 2009

We went on a scavenger hunt looking for things that were certain colors. The kids colored each hole of the egg carton a different color and then we walked around the compound finding so many interesting things! We had lots of fun!

We always decorate our front porch for fall. Im running out of ideas now!

I celebrated my birthday October 1st. I had lunch with my friends in springdale and Angel had all the family over and made this beautiful chocolate, Carmel trifle.

I know, its about time!! I need to get updated on all of the things that have been going on lately. It seems like we have been so busy and there is so much I want to get documented on the blog. I cant believe its Christmas already!! Summer was just way too short! Before we know it our baby girl will be here! I'm pretty sure I'll end up posting everything in the wrong order!! Oh well, I least I'm getting it done right?

Lily gets baptized!!!

We cant believe you are already eight!! This was such a special day for all of us! We are so proud of you for all the things you have learned and for choosing to be baptized! Thank you for always being a good example to all of those around you! We love you!

They are both glowing!

We took about 12 pictures before the baptism and Anthony looks the same in all of them! He was mad because he was hungry!! We really had a great day!
