family pictures

The saturday after Thanksgiving we met up with the Dallas Brewers at Mercer Arboretum to have some familiy photos taken.  I waited to post them because they were Christmas surprises, but now I can share!!  Michele Johnson did a fabulous job!  I loved what she was able to capture!

just a warning…there’s a lot of pictures!  I couldn’t choose just a few!

These boys are so grown up!

a little randomness

had some random pictures that really didn’t fit anywhere else, but I wanted to document nonetheless!

story time!  Brady is such a good big brother!

daddy was changing a light bulb and I guess Kaden thought he needed help!

It’s soccer season!  Daddy had his first scrimmage on saturday.  So we put on our soccer attire and headed to Brook!

Karsyn Loves the coach!

Brady was annoyed that we stopped for group pictures!

Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate.  After unloading and sitting under the covered area for 30 minutes I decided to take that babies home.  cold and wet weren’t a great combo for our crew that had been sick!

 

and just because she’s cute!  Karsyn was quite proud of herself sitting up at the art table!  She said “mommy cheese” hmmm maybe I take too many pictures!!

festival of lights

The last few years we’ve had great intentions of going to the festival of lights at moody gardens.  We went when Brady was little, but haven’t been back since.  Until now!!  Added bonus, we met up with our cousins!  It was a little cold, but fun nonetheless!

the fab 4…or the big kids as we call them!

space center houston

The Friday after Christmas we loaded up and met Grandma at Space Center.  They had an angry birds space exhibit and Brady was beyond excited!  Brady has been to space center several times with grandma, but this was the twins first trip.  Brady was very nice and showed them all his favorite things!

Miss Karsyn had a blast in the ball pit!
