The start of a new school year!! Ashton and Alyssa jumped right in and have already started to make their mark on a new place. They have made lots of new friends. One family in particular down the street that just moved in last week -- they have 3 girls and are very close in age to our girls. They have been spending most of their free time either at their house or ours. We're riding the bus this year and I have to say it is great! It's definitely their favorite part of the day!

Abby started Kindergarten this year!! She is doing great, when the alarm goes off every morning she's not quite sure if its a good day for school, but by the time the bus arrives she's off with a smile.


Happy Anniversary!! 13 Years to be exact. Every year gets better and better. We really enjoyed a night out together. Lance found this incredible steak house near downtown Houston, it was a quiet place and our table was tucked into the back corner (very romantic!) we had hours of focused time -- that's rare in a house full of girls!! The grounds had beautiful gardens, waterfalls and winding paths -- it was raining (of course) and we only looked around for a minute, but we'll definitely have to go again.
















Labor Day Weekend was spent with family!! We had my parents, Lance's parents, and his brother and their family in for the weekend.
We have such an amazing family, our cousins Lindsey, Katy and Ben are so sweet and the girls love to spend time with them. They played and played for 3 days non-stop!!!

Most of the weekend was spend watching FOOTBALL!! Lance's favorite pass time and just about every other member of the family enjoys it just as much. It was a great time together and we were sad to see them go.










One more quick picure with Nana, Granddad, Uncle Matt and the girls!!
