Feeling a little stir crazy this past weekend, we decided to take a walk around Grapevine Lake with the boys. J.R. and I used to ride our bikes here quite a bit when we lived in Dallas before, so it was nice to see the trails again and reminisce. 

This field of wildflowers called to me and matched Reid's raincoat a little too much to pass up:).

Pumpkin Patching

To say he loved it would be an understatement. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Cousin Myla's here!

We welcomed my sweet niece into the world last Saturday! Reid and I made it to Nashville in the knick of time, arriving at the hospital an hour before she made her debut. 

Myla Michelle weighed in at 7lbs, 13 oz & measured 20.5 inches. She's beautiful and as you can see, Reid is totally smitten (when he's not a tinge jealous because his mommy is holding another baby).

ONE.

Our baby boy woke up as a one year old this morning. I will never understand how time passes so very quickly! We're out celebrating Reid today! More to come...

Our 4th!

Last year at this time I was a few days away from going into labor, and now we're a happy family of four...

We had a nice Fourth of July, complete with a trip to Galveston and a very excited little boy!

He was so fascinated by the fireworks! I fully expected the noise to scare him to death, but he never so much as flinched at the loud booms! 

Can it really only be one more day before our baby boy turns one?! It went by in what seems like the blink of an eye. We are looking forward to celebrating Reid's first year of life, and our first year as new parents on Monday. Come back for a nice big birthday post in the next week!

Lately...

It's been busy around here as of late, but I wanted to share the last few weeks in pictures...

 A few 9 month photos  

 J.R. had a birthday...  

 I had a birthday... And most importantly, we now have a crawler!
He started crawling a week and a half before he hit the 10 month mark!

More to come...

Impromptu Trip to Galveston

We had a lovely holiday weekend, but I am still editing photos for that so I thought I'd post some cell phone pictures from our impromptu trip to Galveston the day after Easter. J.R.'s best friend, Jayson, and his son, Caiden, joined us for Easter this year, and we thought it'd be nice for him to go on the dolphin tour that we discovered a little over a year ago (while Reid was still growing inside my tummy). We spotted more dolphins this trip, and had a lot of fun riding on a boat with a very excited infant and seven year old.

And just in case it isn't evident in the pictures how hyper Reid was on the boat:
