In a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

...A 6 year old boy wanted a Star Wars Birthday Party!!

We had fun decorating the Warehouse youth building at our church Star Wars style!

We also had a lot of fun family and friends come and celebrate with us!

All the Grandma's!

Grandpa Werley is always so fun!



Love this pic of 2 of my favorite men!!



This girl loves her Nana!

Austin's favorite gift was from Sarah and Sky. This boy loves Angry Birds! Thanks, guys!!

This little boy's cup was FULL by the end of the weekend! It was so fun celebrating our first born! I think it was a day he will never forget! :)

Austin is 6!!

Can't believe this boy is 6!! We had a great day (week) of celebrating our first born! The morning of his birthday started out with opening presents and then eating a yummy breakfast that Daddy cooked.

Then we headed to the Y and to the park for a fun time with some of our favorite friends!

The Birthday Night ended with Chuck E. Cheese (of course!)

It was a great fun-filled day!

We are so truly proud of this fun-loving, energetic and authentic little boy the Lord has given us!

Happy Birthday, Austin!

We love you!!

Girl's Night!

I recently had a girl's night out celebrating a dear friend with some new friends the Lord has graciously provided here in Houston. It was such a fun night of great food and fun fellowship!

Happy Birthday, Megan! What would I do without you, my friend?! You have been a true gift to me and I am so thankful for you!

Happy New Year!

This year we started a new tradition (that I think we are definitely going to keep!) of heading to the coast to celebrate the new year as a family. We went to the Kemah Boardwalk for the first time and had such a great day! Kemah means 'Wind in the Face' and wow was it named correctly! So windy, but fun fun!

This was the first 'big kid' ride of the day for these two. Austin had to be convinced to get on and Audrey was excited. Funny how they are so different in that way. :)

Their faces in this picture say it all. Love it!

My cute little co-pilot on one of the rides that took us way up to look at the board walk and the ocean from above.

Austin has become quite the photographer. Good job, Buddy! ;)

I will always have a great memory of these 3 riding this ride! Can hear my hubby's laughter now! (Just glad no one threw up!;)

Audrey HAD to have the 'little balls of ice cream', so we ended our time in Kemah eating Dip 'n Dots in the cold. :) It really was an awesome way to begin 2012!!

Great Wolf 2011

We had another great trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine this year! We decided to go for a night in between Christmas and New Years and visiting all our families for Christmas. The kids had been talking about going back to 'Wolf Great Lodge' all year long, so it was such a fun treat to be able to go again. There is just something really fun about going to a water park in the winter time! Here are some pics from our trip. (I bet you can't guess who I was with most of the time!;)

Such a special time together as a family having a blast! We love creating these kinds of memories!
