Check out the video


Our Vacation was narrated and videoed by Susan and Andrew Kimmel...notice Susan and my face during the snow storm when Dustin turns the light on...we aren't too happy:) Thanks Susan we had a blast...ecgirlstuckintx.blogspot.com. Go her site and scroll down....

Vacation and back to normal.






We had a great time in Colorado...and in New Mexico...
We arrived to our cabin at about 4:30 am Monday morning which meant the kids were bright eyed and ready to go...we didn't really get out into the snow till later after naps...
In the middle of the week we went to Superior Colorado to see some of our friends...since it was Brock's birthday we did something a little different and we went to the Butterfly Pavilion with the Hammonds...
Later that evening we went back to the cabin and hung out...on Thursday Daddy and the boys plus Suz went skiing while the moms and babes stand at the cabin to play...
Due to the snow storm we headed out a little bit early but got stuck and ended up in New Mexico for two nights...it was a great trip with LOTS of memories...I don't know if I would do it again but the kids did great and we had a blast with the Hammonds and Kimmels.
Enjoy some pics....

He is going to be 3


I tear up as a begin writing this...I don't ever anticipate that he will read this for I want to tell him as much as possible..so bare with me as I write a letter to my about to be 3 year old boy...
Brock,
You make us smile...I believe everyone in the family would say that...this letter is to tell you how proud I am of you...to only focus on who you are becoming...I made a decision this year to stay at home and EVERY day I am thankful for it...I have never felt so much peace and rightness about a decision I have made...staying at home with you and your "Sissy" has brought me great joy.
Who you are becoming: I see the imagination you have, the love to play and explore, how you love to play with others (and even tell others what to do) and yet you find a peace in playing by yourself. You love with all your heart...you say the gentlelest of things when I least expect it and your awareness of others surprises me...I saw this grow with intensity as you helped us welcome Chloe into the world...she looks at you with love and as if you hung the moon...I know that she will look to you to help guide her in her many years to come...and you love her with a love that I am proud of.
I look forward to seeing where your feet will take you...I look forward to how God uses your hands to love...I look forward to the day you become my brother in Him...How Beautiful are your feet my son...I pray they will lead you to go and tell others. Thanks for being my lovebug and making me the mom only our DADDY knows I can be.

Love,
Your Momma
