Happy Birthday Rachel!!

Today is Rachel's birthday and we just hope she knows how much we love her! I hope that she had a wonderful birthday weekend. We are so excited for her and Jared with Jaxson's arrival coming so soon! Brookelynn is going to love her cousin so much!!

Ok...I know it has been forever since I posted! It has been really crazy! We had Rachel's baby shower last weekend, then I started back to work on Monday. Wow...that was not a good day! I miss Brookelynn so much during the day! But I have to be thankful for the being able to work from home on Fridays. This past Friday I went up to one of our largest clients to introduce Brookelynn to all of the girls. She looked SO CUTE! It was cold and I got her some new boots...little "puggs"...(as my dad calls them)! Well this is a quick overview....but it gets me caught up.

Hostess' with Rachel...goodness you can't even tell that she is pregnant!

We had a short 'photo shoot' with Brookelynn in my aunt's room.

My stylin' girl! Getting ready to meet all the girls!

Brookelynn is starting to develop such as sweet personality. She is smiling so much! My long work day is erased when I pick her up and she gets a huge smile on her face when she sees me. I love her so much! ...really...how could you not love that sweet face!

Ranchin' with the Heathcotts

This weekend we went out to the Heathcott's ranch with the Selfs. We had such a great time just catching up. The boys hunted and did boy stuff while the ladies talked and took care of the little ones and ate. Thanks Heathcotts for inviting us to your ranch! It is a great place to get away and have a great time with friends!

Congrats Jenn!!!

Today Jenn, my little sister, was accepted to Baylor University!! I am so proud of her!! We visited the campus on Saturday and she was impressed. Well...what is not to love about BU campus! I am so proud of her! She is such a sweet girl and Baylor is lucky to have a great girl like Jenn!!

Another busy weekend!!

Wow! We had another great weekend! It started with a fun Halloween...Bailey left early Firday morning to go hunting in Coleman. We missed him by 9am but we had a busy weekend ahead of us. My mom, aunt Tonya, cousin Mary Katherine and Jenn came to see us quickly on Friday and then left to start their girls weekend in Tyler. Jenn stayed with us so that we could go to Baylor Homecoming on Saturday.

Brookelynn wore this cute little onesie that said, "this is my costume" for most of the day. We were going to change her outfit Friday night but she was not interested...so this was her costume for Halloween. She still looked so cute and festive.

So...we put her costume on today...and had a photoshoot! She is my sweet little angel.

She is so precious and we are so in love with her!

BAYLOR HOMECOMING 2008

Jenn, Brookelynn and I left home Saturday morning to go to Waco for Baylor Homecoming. We made it for the last bit of the parade and to see all of our sweet friends. We didn't get pictures with all of them but it was so great to see everyone! We found out that Brookelynn was going to have a new friend named Brooke in April. Our friends Ashley and Austin have been praying for this little girl for years and the Lord has blessed them with a perfect little girl!! I also had an alterior motive to going to Homecoming this weekend...the prove to Jenn that Baylor was SO MUCH better than Texas A&M. I really think that I succeeded!! We walked all around campus and saw all of Baylor's wonderful selling points...and I think that she really liked it! I knew that this was the perfect weekend for her to visit!

All of the kiddos were supporting their Baylor Bears... Brookelynn had her BU t-shirt on.

...and it didn't stop there...After the Baylor tour we drove to Canton to meet up with my mom and all the rest of the girls! My mom, aunt, grandmother, great aunt, and cousins were there for a girl's weekend. They had been shopping most of the day so we met up with them just about the time they were leaving. So...we drove to Tyler to stay with the girls at my mom's cousin's house. It was a great time with the girls!! On Sunday we went home...but not until we stopped in Terrell to see my great aunt Ruth. It was such a great weekend! Today we are recovering from all of the traveling!
