Train Party Pictures

Here are a few pictures from Will's train party! He had a great time and is still talking about his trains! The best part was his reaction when he saw a kids train pulling up to the house. All the work and planning was so worth while seeing how excited he was over this party.

Will is 3!

Our sweet Will turned 3 today! I can't believe it. It feels just like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. He has brought our family so much joy and laughter over these last 3 years and I can't even imagine life without him. He is sweet, kind hearted, loving, and has a big heart. He loves to cuddle especially at night, he has a love for trains, and he loves for Travis and I to be close by, and he loves to be home with us all together.

Will...I wish you many more wonderful years to celebrate! You are one of our greatest gifts and I thank God every night he chose us to be your parents. Continue to stay as kind and loving as you are and always put God first in your life. We will always be here for you and support you in whatever you choose. We love you always and forever!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

5 Year Anniversary

Tomorrow, July 12th, makes 5 years of marriage for Travis and I. I knew the night I first laid eyes on him that he was the one. We lived 6 hours away and I didn't know if I would ever see him again but I knew I was going to marry him. I later found out, that he felt the same way that night. 5 years later, we are happily married with two wonderful boys. Life is perfect! 

Happy Anniversary Babe! I wish us many more anniversaries to celebrate and I'm so glad God chose us to share life together. I love you always and forever!

2 Little Chefs

Ever since Will and JT were really young, they have both took an interest into cooking and what takes place in the kitchen. Tonight, I captured this picture while I was cooking supper. They both pulled up a chair and wanted to help mommy! I think I have the two cutest helpers ever!

Love,
Mary

Finally Farm Weekend

This past weekend, the boys and I, along with my parents, grandpa, and aunt headed to Crawford, Texas to visit my great aunt and uncle on Finally Farm. It was a great weekend had by all and it was so wonderful to see family that we don't always get to see. The boys did amazing on the 9 hour trip and enjoyed the freedom of being on a farm. We can't wait to visit again soon...

Updates

Here are some updates since I last posted!

* Travis LOVES his job at Turner Industries at Shell Chemical where my dad is. He has truly found something that he loves to do. He is always talking about it and has a lot to say about what he is doing. He does work a lot though...6 or 7 days on 10-12 hour shifts.

* I am still working St. Charles Parish Public Schools as a Speech Pathologist and love it. I actually work at the same school with one of my best friends where we met in graduate school! I have also started working for a home health care system. I always wanted to keep the medical side of my job current and I couldn't pass on this opportunity when it was presented. 

* JT turned 1 on March 8th, 2013. I can't believe it!! He is growing by the day and truly loves life to the fullest. He always has a smile on his face or his always laughing. He looks up to Will so much and tries to do everything he does. He is VERY busy and keeps us jumping. (pictures below)

* In June, we went on our annual family beach trip to Ft. Walton, Florida. It was a great trip with lots of memories being made. It was fun for us all to be together as a family and for the boys and I to have some much needed time with Travis. (pictures below)

* Will is turning 3 this coming Saturday! It feels like yesterday that we welcomed him into this world and now we are bringing him to preschool starting in September. He is such a kind hearted person and loving. He loves to be home and loves being around family. We have loved watching his language develop and hearing all of the things he has to say and come up with. He keeps us laughing. His favorite toy right now is anything that has to do with trains so naturally we are throwing him a train birthday party this weekend. 

Life has been good just staying busy between the boys and work but enjoying all the moments in between!
