About Me

John and I have been married for 9 years and live in Katy, Texas in our first home. Johnny is seven years old now and is a blast to be around. Olivia is four and is a little busy bee. We had Drew in April and have loved having a baby in our home again. John works at his father's company, G&A Partners, and just received his MBA from the University of Texas. As for me, I'm playing mommy all day and just loving life!

Katie in Katy!

Someone finally came to visit me!!! My college BFF Katie Hilstead came to visit her hubby who was working in Houston and got to stay a couple days with me and my kiddies. Besides Johnny being on his WORST behavior ever, it was a great trip! Zach and Katie came to dinner on Sunday where we got to chat and get to know each other better, husbands never get to meet so that was nice! I picked her up Monday and she was all ours till Wednesday morning! Thanks for coming Kate!! Next time: NO KIDS!!!


Of course, we went the whole trip with no picture of the two of us, but this is one from when I went to Utah in March.


The babies meet each other...love at first sight.


John sported the socks w/ sandals look just for the occasion!


Zach and Johnny did a little bonding.


This is Andrew. He's pretty dang cute! And he's a talker!


Little love birds


Cutie boy


This is the mango with sticky rice dessert we had at Nit Noi. I was picturing white rice with mangoes and when this showed, we both started laughing. The brown stuff was pumpkin bread pudding/custard (weird, yes but sooooo good!). I am now a huge fan of this dessert and am considering just getting it as my meal next time.


Tubby time!!


They probably could have done this all night if it hadn't been 2000 degrees outside.


CHUB

I'm pretty sure Andrew loved the splash park!


Don't you think Katie's little girl will be super cute!?


Every kid loves to play the piano


Andrew somehow knew he was supposed to use the pedals so he was doing a little gymnast move to get it done.


I just love her. She has a cute little pony tail in the back but this just looks like a comb over. darn.


She SHARED!!


After Katie left, I had a nice long talk with Johnny about how horrible he had acted and that it was not acceptable. He went into my room and came out in this saying "mommy, is this funny?" yes. "now you're not mad at me for being bad because I made you laugh" "right mom? you're not mad anymore, right?" still trying to hold my straight face. "Ha, got ya mom, you laughed." dang it.

Poor little Johnny! He just wanted some attention from his Mommy and we were stealing all of it! Haha, love the post. I just did mine, so you can steal some pics now. Miss you!

Johnny is such a funny boy. He was an angel over here so next time just get him here quicker! Livy is such a sharer...if thats an actual thing. But she kept feeding james her snacks and make this sound like, "what some?" She is a doll. She is so grown up with her sweet pony tails.
