Visit with Auntie B & Uncle Lee

This past weekend Bec & Lee were able to come and visit us. We had an incredible weekend catching up and laughing. Bec & I had not been able to enjoy quality time together since I went to Humboldt for my baby shower last October. Needless to say Bec and I were long overdue for a girl's day out; we went to the Galleria and had a blast. We started our day out with a pampered visit to Macy's and wrapped it up with drinks with the boys.

When Bec & Lee arrived Cal had just woke up. To our surprise and Bec's delight he flew into her arms and gave her lovin's. Auntie B is now so popular in our house that when I uploaded these photos Cal was jumping and smiling at the sight of her. Uncle Lee was also a source of delight for Cal. Calvin was beside himself when he had Uncle Lee & Auntie B together--he just didn't know where to go first.

Zack's 1st Birthday Party

Happy 1st Birthday Zack!!!

Zack had a spider man jump house at his party. Clint, AJ, Cal, & me bounced a little before the big bash started

Clint jumped so much he caved in the jump house...had it not been for AJ, he may still be in the jump house wall. LOL!

September

This past work week was very challenging in every way. Each small professional success this week was followed by a difficult and time consuming task leaving very little family time. To ease the stress and welcome the weekend Calvin & Clint sent a dozen peruvian lillies to me at work on Friday. The beautiful lilies were both surprising and beautiful. This was the very first time Clint sent or bought me flowers.

My bouquet a few days after they opened

As part of my work stress relief the boys took a picture and then emailed it to me at work for my desktop

Karyn and Zack stopped by to visit and play.

One of Cal's favorite activities is play in his raft/pool outside
