CONGRATULATIONS CHAD!!

 

 

 

 

Saturday was a big day for our family as we attended Chad's graduation from the MBA program at SMU! What a huge accomplishment to achieve all while raising a family (we had the twins just as he started the program) and working a very intense job with long hours. I can't even count how many times Chad would go from work to school to study ALL night only to shower at 6 AM and go back into work! I don't know how he pulled off SO many sleepless nights without seeming to skip a beat! His hard work is already paying off and we couldn't be more proud (and so happy to have it done)! Congrats Honey!!

Congratulations to my "Mini" Graduates!

 

 

 

Coen and Ciena at their last day of 2 year old Co-op! It was Beach day so they got to come in their swimming suits and play in the water learning stations! Good job twins on finishing your first year!!

BEST FRIENDS!

 

 

The twins really enjoyed playing in the bluebonnets this year! I couldn't believe it when I looked over and saw them walking hand in hand through the flowers! So lucky I caught it on camera!

LOVEY DOVEY!!

 

 

 

These two were cracking me up! They get in these moods where they just love planting kisses on eachother!

 

 

 

 

BLUEBONNET TIME!

 

 

 

 

We almost didn't make it out to see the Bluebonnets this year, but I'm so glad we did! The kids love running in the flowers and Dre brought along his net hoping to catch him some butterflies!

Crawfish Boil!

 

 

 

 

For the past 4 years we have enjoyed attending the Crawfish Boil that our friends put on every year. Dresden has grown up eating these little guys and he has no hesitation going over to the table, ripping them apart, and digging in! Coen and Ciena opted to pick apart and eat an entire cake! Sarah and Ben were a hit with the kids and entertained them with fun little games!

EASTER BRUNCH!

 

 

 

We spent the afternoon at our good friends the Cramers and the kids all got to do an Easter Egg Hunt together. How cute are my boys in the last picture!!

 

 

 

HAPPY EASTER!!

My mother will appreciate the first picture of Ciena and Dresden with their fingers in their mouths! My family has a little history of finger sucking!

BEST Girls Weekend!!

 

My family is the BEST! This is the second time my mom and sisters have decided to completely surprise me and show up in Dallas without me knowing! With the help of my hubby they pulled it off and I was pleasantly shocked! Chad called me from work and said he had to work late (no surprise there) and asked if the kids and I could meet him for dinner. Right as our food was coming out the Host said he had a strange request and asked if it was okay if "another party joined our table". I thought this was wierd, especially since there were plenty of empty tables, but before I could think too much about it I noticed a lady walk in that looked a lot like my mom, followed by my sister Connie, and then Julie! I think I just stared in shock for the entire rest of the dinner!
We had such a fun weekend and I wish we took more pictures to show it! We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge (Thanks Jill) where we enjoyed all the ammenities, especially the Spa and the huge ice-cream sundae! We also spent a lot of time in Dallas doing some of our favorite things - shopping, eating, sight seeing (dragging Cedar Springs), and looking at houses. We had lots of late nights, card games, and laughs! Thank you for coming girls!
