Happy 4th of July

Blake was very excited to take part in the Castle Hills Fourth of July Parade. We decked out his bike, and he rode it the whole way!

Happy Birthday Blakey!

Happy Birthday my sweet boy! I cant believe you are three. Where has the time gone?

You have become so independent and strong willed, but your heart remains soft and kind. You are the perfect balance of rough and tumble boy with the sweetest heart. 

You are an amazing climber and a bit of a dare-devil. You love to play and push the limits, which scares mommy often. But I'm also so proud of your adventurous spirit. 

We love you to the moon and back Blake. You are the best, and we can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Blake's 3rd Birthday Party

We took a trip back to California in May, which gave us the opportunity to celebrate Blake's birthday there with our California friends. Blake wanted a Octonauts theme, so we had an Octonauts pinata, "Pin the eye patch on Kwazii", and Captain Barnacles cupcakes.

Easter Egg Hunts!

Blake got to enjoy two Texas-sized Easter egg hunts this year. One in our neighborhood and one at Blake's school.

Christmas in California

We spent time in beautiful California for Christmas. We celebrated at Nanny and Pop-Pop's house with David, Theresa, Aiden, and Ryan. But it wont be long before another little boy is added into the mix. Theresa is expecting in April!

First Christmas in Texas

We moved into our new home just in time for Christmas. This didn't allow much time for decorating, but we did manage to get a tree up. Blake understands a lot more about the holiday this year, like who Santa is and that he is going to get presents. But, not enough that we couldn't open gifts early to accommodate our trip to California. 

Grand Prairie Lights 2014

We read about the Grand Prairie Lights and decided to check it out. It did not disappoint! It is an enormous light display that you drive your care through, and we can get out at the half way point for snacks and to visit Santa. It was awesome, we will definitely be going back!
