Trip to Tyler

The boys & I went to visit my Mom in Tyler this week. It was nice to just relax & not HAVE to do anything. We spent a lot of time with Granma & Grandad. We visited the Children's Park near her house. This park is beautiful. It is a park built/donated by parents of children that have passed away in their memory. It has children's names engraved in the stone paths & memorial benches...very sad, but beautiful. There was even a little park bench that said... "In memory of our glory babies that passed before or shortly after birth." My Mom and I stood at that one for a minute and took a moment to think about Bonnie & all of our friends & family that have lost a baby. Here are just a few pictures from the week.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

More b-day fun~!

I made this charm for Kristina's bouquet so that Steven could be with her as she walked down the aisle. It looked beautiful with her flowers. It was a special touch to her special day.

Nana bought the boys a new toy today!

I'm glad it was nice enough to let them play outside today! It was hot, but the sun wasn't blazin'!Their little swim diapers sorta just hang out of their swim shorts. So cute ! ! !

Round & Round we Go~!

I took the boys & cousin Trinity to the Mall today to meet up with Detira & Katelyn...and somehow they suckered me into letting them ride the Carousel. Coleby couldn't have enjoyed anything more...Landen on the other hand cried "Hold You, Mommy!" the whole time!

It was fun, though. Here are some pics I managed to snap on the ride around with Landen clinging on for dear life. Enjoy!
