Baby Showers in Houston



While in Houston I got to make 2 baby shower cakes. One for my stepbrother Erick and his fiance Sharla, and another for a friend of mine Michelle. Nancy is incredible at decorating showers so everything turned out really nice.

Saw family in Houston





I hadn't seen my family in over a year so it was really nice to have everyone together at my mom's house. It was especially exciting to have all the babies together. Baby Presley and Karson are about 3 weeks apart. We meet the next day for a little shopping and headed to Mambos. It was great to see everyone, and a little sad knowing that we are even further away.

Sick

Both the boys came down with bronchitis. It was a rather difficult week dealing with 2 fussy boys at the same time but I still feel extremely blessed to be able to stay home withe them and nurse them back to health. It was always really difficult for me being at school knowing that Kaiden was sick even though Terri did a great job.
After taking the boys to the doctor we found out that Karson has mild asthma. He is on a breathing machine once a day and although it's tourture to give it to him he seems to be doing much better with his coughing in the morning. I am anxious to find out if this is something temporary or if he will have this forever. He has his 9 month check up soon so I will find out more then.

Birthday

I got to spend my birthday with my Mom and the boys we had a great day getting my hair done and of course going to eat at Mambos:) I really enjoyed my time with my Mom it's not often that we can just hang out together.
The next day Dad and Nancy made a special birthday dinner. It was sooo good and we had a really great time together. Nancy can make a mean lobster.

TRIP TO HOUSTON



Ron and I had the best time in Houston. We wanted to be able to spend some time with my mom and especially my dad since he will be going on assignment to Germany for 2 months. I can't believe that by the time he gets back Karson will be walking and Emma Reese will have been born. We miss him already.




Rodeo

Rodeo this year was a blast!! This is the 2nd year we've all gone together to take the kids to the stock show and carnival. The kids loved it! Things got a little hairy when Kaiden got in his little mood, but overall it was a really memorable day. Karson looooooved being strolled around and barely made a peep the whole time. Grandpa bought Kaiden his first cowboy belt and he was one proud cowboy.

Fishing

Grandpa can't see his grand kids without taking them fishing. The park that I grew up at Meyer Park has a great stocked pond with a beautiful trail leading to it. Karson really enjoyed the swings. Of course we didn't catch anything(I'm bad fishing luck.)

A lot to catch up on


Ron's Baby Shower

Ron is about a month away from having Emma Reese, she is due on the 9th of May and we are all very excited to meet her. I can't wait to see if she looks like Zoe or if she'll have the same outgoing personality. Ron is doing great and juggling school, pregnancy, and Zoe. I am so proud of her and I know everything will turn out fine.
Ron's school had a beautiful shower for her and I was so amazed how everything was so well put together. It was a ladybug theme and even the punch was red with black floating ice (genius!). I loved making my first baby rump cake and first diaper cake. (More pictures of the shower to come)
