Wow, that is a lot of pictures!

I thought I would plug in my external hard drive and look for some old pictures of Jacob. These are my pre blogging days. The first several were scanned in so the quality is not the best. I plan on printing my blog one day so it would be nice to have these in it. I think I added too many, but what is a mom to do? Really there are a TON!

Lego Store

Last Tuesday we headed out to the Lego Store in Dallas. It is a dream store for little boys. Jacob loves it! The first Tuesday of every month is "build and take." Here are some pictures of the snowman Jacob (and Dad) built. So much fun!

The beginning of the project. Jacob and Kevin working on the snowman.
The finished project, it's there on top of the big Lego.

After church today Kevin, Jacob, and I drove out to the cemetery. I love the drive out there, I love that it is in the country. Here are a couple of pictures. Jacob picked out the orange and yellow flowers in the vase. Every time we take new flowers out he wants to pick them. Kevin and I are not allowed to have much say :) My dad and Cheryl sent a beautiful heart bouquet of flowers. Every year on Breanna's birthday they have the most beautiful flowers delivered, I look forward to it. It means so much to Kevin and I. Courtney and Scott also take flowers every year, they are the bouquet on the left. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends.

3 years ago

Today is Breanna's birthday. Some how 3 years have passed. I miss her and continue to think of her every day. A couple of weeks ago we went to the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History as a family. For a few minutes I was sitting on a bench people watching while I was waiting for Kev and Jacob to come back from somewhere. As I sat there I thought, as I often do, how our little family outing that day would be if Breanna was there. I thought about how Jacob would be showing his little sister around. How Kevin and I would be chasing her around everywhere. I am so thankful to have a testimony of eternal families. I truly do not know what I would do without the gospel in my life. I have never shared pictures of Breanna on my blog. I felt earlier this week that I wanted to post a picture of her. Kevin and I chose theese ones. This is the day of her funeral. We were able to hold her and spend some more time with her this day.

Mario Chess

Happy New Year one and all! I was talking to my friend Hilary today (love you Hil!) and she said she was going to try to post more often to her blog kind of like I want to do. She said even if it is just a picture. So here are two pictures I took today of my cutie playing Mario Chess. He's becoming quite a good little chess player. He joined the chess club at school and is LOVING it.

Today was our first day back to school. Although it was especially hard to get out of bed it was nice to go back (I think I just said that to convince myself that it is a true statement). Don't get me wrong I love my job and enjoy a routine but not getting dressed or not showering if I didn't want to was nice. I'm not one to ever skip a shower even on days off but over this vacation I did that a few times, sorry if I just grossed you out.

I always feel the need to end my blog with some kind of ending instead of just stopping when I am finished thinking of things to write. I think I need to get over that I don't have to sign off or say goodbye each time. So here's to just ending my posts.
