update....

I know I know, I say it's been a while... I plan to blog more, then I don't blog for a month!
Life has been crazy, I am super busy with school, Connor is growing faster than I want him to, and Jared is CRAZY busy at work! My blog life has been pushed to the back burner. When I get the small chance to blog I try to remember, then I promptly forget as I get side tracked doing something else!
Life has been busy and great! Connor is turning three soon, I have been planning his party for months! Now that it is closer he is getting more and more excited! He is doing really good, learning so much and soooooo fast! It amazes me what he says at times, he often blows my mind with the knowledge that he has!
Jared is doing really well, he has been running more and more lately- I think his goal in the near future is a 50k. (I call it insanity, he calls it his passion!) .... I'll let you judge ;)
I am doing good, school is keeping me on my toes, between studying for my certification exam that I take in January and studying for my classes now.... and teaching.... and being a mom.... and being a wife... etc. I'm busy!
But....
Life is great and we are loving every moment!
Sorry my update is lame and short... maybe I can update more than just once a month! ;)
Here is an amazing family picture that a friend of mine took! I will try to post more from her photo shoot later! (She took family pictures and Connor's birthday pictures for me, she is also coming to his party to take pictures of all of the kids and the party!) She is amazing, I love her work!

A day out with Mom and Dad

Today we spent the day out at Lost Maples.....
Connor had an amazing time!

Ahoy Mates!

This morning I let my sweet little boy pick out his own clothes for the day! Here is what we ended up with....



And then we went to the park!

And then he went to day care.... dressed just like this! (:

Five years of bliss!

On the 24th of this month, my husband and I celebrated five years of marriage. I have to say that the last five years have been the best blessed years of my life! Five years ago I married my best friend, two years later we were blessed with our beautiful son, and yesterday we celebrated five years of marriage! Jared has been an amazing husband and a wonderful father, I truley feel blessed.
Jared- I want to thank you for always being there for me, helping me during the hard times at school, helping me out at home (with out you our life would be a mess!) We have had our ups and downs like any marriage but I want to thank you for being so patient, understanding, caring, and so loving (all the time!) I love my life and I have you to thank for a lot of the happiness that I have in it! Thank you for an amazing five years, I look forward to many more like it!

Buzz Light Year to the Rescue!

I took Connor to see Toy Story 3 yesterday, he loved it! He made it almost to the end before he began getting too fidgety to stay.
I let him wear his Buzz Light Year costume to the movies- you should have seen how many people stopped and smiled! Yesterday was a fun day, for both Connor and Mom! :)

Standing outside, about to buy our tickets!

Waiting outside the theater holding our tickets!

Waiting for the movie to start! (He was so excited!)

The movie was about to start- he said "Mommy, take a picture!" :)

Some random pictures

These are some random pictures that I have taken over the summer, I found them way too cute to not share!
I hope that you enjoy!

Texas Wild Flowers


I promise you this was safe- we could see cars far before they were near, besides Jared was with in arms length!


Summer fun!

Happy fourth:)

We had a great fourth of July! We hung out with family and friends and enjoyed the nice cool day while eating some amazing BBQ! It was nice watching the kids bounce in the jump house and play in the little pool, they were both exhausted after! :)
Connor and my Cousin's little girl made some home made Rice Krispy Treats- they were delicious!!!! All in all the fourth was a good day- hope you and your family had a great weekend as well!
