God Bless Maddox!

Maddox Alexander was Baptized this past Saturday! It was a very special day for him and us. Maddox was very good during his Baptism, he was very happy and didn't cry at all. His Godparents, Uncle Anthony and our very good friend, Katie Hodson, were there to celebrate Maddox's special day. Thank you Anthony and Katie for being Maddox's Godparents...ya'll mean the world to us! Nana and Papaw, Mimi and Poppy, Aunt Barb and Uncle Jim, Derek and Addison and our neighbors, Chris and Ellie were there to celebrate as well. Thank you all for coming to San Antonio to celebrate this joyous day.

Thank you God for making Saturday a special day for our family and keeping us all healthy! We are so blessed.

My lil Sis

I am truely lost with words on the talent my little sister has! Her photography just blows me away. She's amazing at what she does and I admire her for her hard work and capability of growing stronger as a person and a photographer everyday!

Melissa is my best friend....we don't always see eye to eye on everything, but we are A LOT a like in so many ways. It freaks a lot of people out on how much we talk a like, laugh a like, look a like. We've always been pretty close but the past 4 years we've gotten even closer. Everyday I pray that God helps us get back to Austin so she and I can see each other more and that I can help her with "I Heart Photography". I am so blessed to have her as my sister and hope my boys will be as close as she and I are when they are older. Brothers and sisters are such a wonderful thing to have in life and I'm so lucky to have both....I don't know what/where I'd be in life without them. I miss them all sooo much and hopefully one day I'll be back in Austin with them all. They mean the world to me!

Aunt Melissa came to stay with us for a few days. She hasn't been able to come stay with us for a while because she has been busy with "I Heart Photography" and her other job at the apartment complex....well March 1st she was able to quit her job at the apartments and focus on her passion, photography! So we scheduled Maddox's 6 month photos with her trip here to San Antonio. She got to play with her nephews and hang out with her big sis. It was so nice to have her here since Allan has been MIA lately. We took the boys to get ice cream, took them shopping, watched movies, tried to go to Kiddie Park but got rained out, played on the swing set...just had a fun time! One night Melissa and I got to go out for dinner and a margarita.

Below are a couple of photos Auntie Mel took of Maddox....to see more go to her blog:

We miss you and love you so much!!

IT'S RODEO DAY!

Today was RODEO DAY at Aidan's School! He had so much fun and was SO excited to wear his new cowboy boots he got from Mimi for Christmas! He really wanted to take his cap gun she gave him too, but I told him that wasn't a really good idea. :)

He and his classmates did some barrell racing, "cow bowling", made their own trail mix, played horse shoes, panned for gold, roped a horse and cactus, etc. What a great way to start school after Spring Break!

Maddox and I went and played with Aidan....M can't wait to run around like all the other kiddos. He had fun watching Aidan and his friends. And today is such a beautiful day outside, it made Rodeo Day a blast! Happy Tuesday!
