I know I know! But it is true.....

We really are still aware of the fact that we have a family blog! Let's face it though, when summer time calls .....we answer!! So hence the absence! Here are a LOT of pictures to catch you up on our summer!

Elli Kate is growing like a WEED!

She started walking at 10 months...woah! Now she is into EVERYTHING!!

She LOVES watermelon, playing in the mud, walking always, smiling and scrunching up her tiny nose, dogs (any size) this child has NO FEAR! yogurt, her mommy (smile), playing games with her daddy, and outside!

She does NOT LIKE cutting 4 teeth at one time, veggies, having her diaper changed, any food that is not sweet (she comes by that honestly I'm afraid), walking on the grass!

Try saying no to these eyes......it's VERY difficult! One might use the word...spoiled!
Falling asleep before we got to do our sparklers on the 4th of July!

Here we are in Colorado....We love it!



We are trying to squeeze in a few friend trips in these last few weeks as well as have Elli Kate's birthday party the weekend before school starts!

Aaron and I both got new jobs, and we are SOOO excited about them! I will be moving to Irons Junior High to teach and coach (all in town games, less time and stress= more Elli belly time) and Aaron will be the varsity asst. basketball coach at Lubbock High School! We are also selling our house and moving into a little bit bigger one across town. So YEA! for change, and THANK YOU LORD for your crazy, fun, undeserved blessings!!

Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together!Psalm 34:3

Sweet Cali Cali!

This is the website that has the story of my best friend Cali (Covalt) Willingham so went through a brain hemorrhage in the beginning of May. Read her story and be truly blessed by the breath of fresh air she shares by giving God ALLLL the glory!! It is absolutely an inspiration!!

Love you sweet Cali!

An ending is a new beginning!

My sweet softball girls had such a great season. They came from what we thought could be a rough year to having an incredible run. While is frustrating to come up short of your goal, it's VERY SWEET to know that now I can spend endless time with MY FAMILY and my sweet sweet sweet Elli Kate!

WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

HAPPY almost SUMMER!! You don't know how good that feels to say!

Oh the days...

of eating chocolate push ups!!

What a SWEETIE PIE!!

Well lets see....

My blog background has been the same for like a year

I haven't updated and our sweet girl is growing up so fast I just want to freeze time!

We are in the middle of Softball playoffs...Go Mustangs

My husband is absolutely the best Dad, Husband and helper..esp right now!

We have 16 days and 2 half days of school left...AMEN!

I love Elli belly so much I could just scream it

Elli wants NO PART of eating peas lately....who can blame her?!?

God has taken blessings to a whole new level, and I am so THANKFUL! What did we do before we had Elli Kate?

Off to bed!

sharing a little life!

Spring Break was lots of fun, maybe not too much of a BREAK, but any day you are a teacher and you don't go to school......trust me......ITS A BREAK! haha

Aaron went skiing with the "boys." Elli Kate and I got to hang out with TeeCee and shop and just have some much needed time off!

Aaron and his basketball team (asst coach) Estacado High school won the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! We all went to Austin wore our BLUE AND SILVER, and cheered on the team. It was so much fun filled with family, great basketball, and of course a bit of shopping!!

You're loved by us!

Pretty in Pearls!
