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!

Kindergarten!

Holy cow, my baby boy is in kindergarten. He started two weeks ago but you know how it is...Livy got her clothes on all by herself, shoes, and her lunch box!
Andrea was in town and came to play with Livy so daddy and I could walk him to school for his first day
We were late, yep, on the first day of school so he ran
Notice how empty the school is?
Finally made it, not too late! Liv had tried scratching his eyes out the day before so he had a lovely wound for the first day.
I was almost teary eyed at this point. He's so big.
I kept mouthing "i love you" to him and he said "mom, I know, you can go now!"

Livy would NOT go to sleep that day. She thought she'd miss Johnny coming home so she passed out while staring out the window for him.
at 3:25, we left to go get him and this is what he looked like walking out. I guess he had scratched the wound and it started bleeding so they put a giant band-aid across his face. The little boy to his left ended up walking into our neighborhood, where we thought we were the only kids under 12. So he is now our best friend just around the corner!

See mom?He loves school and comes home every day and says, "they still haven't taught me how to read mom!". But he loves his teacher, Ms. Ashlee Beeman, loves his friends who play Mario and Sonic with him, loves eating in the "gigantic cafeteria", loves the lego and science center, loves recess if it's not too hot and loves coming home at 3:45 and taking a nap! Yes, the five year old still loves his naps. Even if I try to keep him up, he will go hide somewhere in a corner, curl up and crash.
