some family photos for some family friends

Recently, I went to the beach with an old high school friend and her family to get some pictures of them. It was definitely a memorable experience. I think we got some good ones considering we had two babies, it was over ninety degrees, and I was running on only  few hours of sleep. Think I will skip photography as a job, and stick to it as a hobby.

And of course, I had to snap a few of LJ and baby David..

the boys

I love watching these two together. Logan loves his dada, and I am so happy for that. They are so cute together. 

 

I know they say that it takes a while for a man to become a father.. That they have to grow into it. Let me just say that I am so proud to have a man who had no trouble jumping into it. He does such an amazing job taking care of Logan, and I can see the happiness on Logan's face when he sees his dada. Good job daddy, I am so proud of you.

Independence Day!

We spent Logan's first 4th of July at Moody Gardens Palm Beach. It was hot, crowded and we got a little lost on the way there, but even still, we had a blast. Logan enjoyed the wave pool, some of Mikes family surprised us with a visit, and we spent a lot of the day just floating the lazy river. 

We spent the evening with my mom, and some friends watching the fireworks over Nassau Bay in Clear Lake. 

 Happy Birthday America! Couldn't think of any other way I would have spent it.

"that's what I love about Sunday"

Swimming, BBQ-ing, and friends, what more could you ask for on a Sunday? So lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. I'm also glad to have Mike home with us, I hate him working out town and missing out on days like these.

 

 

 

 

 

plans for a wedding?

Mike told me I should start planning out some things for our wedding, but to be honest, I have no idea where to start. We've looked at a few venues together, and I have gone to a few myself, and I yet to find what I was looking for.

So far, what I have come up with is:
I want an amazing photographer and I won't settle for anything less than perfect.
I want something simple, and kind of country. Cowboy boots for the bridesmaids? Yes!
I want a fall wedding, preferably sometime in November.
I'd be happy with either a maroon/red and cream color scheme, or a yellow and brown color scheme.
I want Logan to be involved, and I want Mikes nephews and niece involved too.

Not much, I know. I've been searching and searching for a place to have it because until I find that, I know I can't pick anything else out.. To me, everything needs to match the venue. So far, I've found that I like the way old, rustic barns look, and wouldn't you know, Houston has none. The closest ones are near San Antonio (about 3-4 hours) and that would be a long trip for some of Mikes family. If anyone knows of anything near Houston that looks rustic/country, I'd love to know!

I would be happy to have a beach wedding, except that Galveston Island has some of the nastiest looking water around, and that is the closest place. One day I'll plan this wedding and have the perfect place.. One day. 

we are parents!

healthy, happy, and perfect.

a little more than half-way

At 25 weeks:

-We are having a boy 
-His name will be Logan James
       (LJ for short)
-There haven't been any problems
-Our due date is still October 22
-He kicks like crazy already
-I still rock a 2 piece bathing suit




I can't wait to have my sweet boy here, and I know his daddy, grandparents, and all our loving friends can't wait either. I will, however, miss the feeling I get when he kicks me and how excited everyone gets to feel it. See you in a few months little one. -Mommy
