Time Flies...

I can't believe that I just ordered these!!!



Where has the time gone??? Is it even possible that I am already planning this sweet baby's 3rd birthday party?


Slow. Down. Father. Time.

Floyd Family Pictures

We had such a wonderful Christmas! I am still gathering pics to post to the blog (hopefully by the end of this week)... but in the mean time, here are some more pictures from Thanksgiving that I just received.

For KK's 60th birthday, we had family pictures done in their beautiful backyard. I think they came out really great!

Here is a picture of the whole family: Ben, Myself, Doc, Reid, KK, Aunt NeeNee, Uncle Craig

All the "kids"

Love these two with all my heart!

Most handsome little man ever! The sweater he is wearing was hand-knit for him by a dear family friend, Debbie Hannebut - we love it!

Aunt NeeNee & Uncle Craig

Perfect.

Jump Zone = Reid's FAVORITE

It's official... "Jump Zone is my very, very favorite, Mommy!" (That's what he repeatedly said while we were there.) Winter break started this week, so myself, Lori, and Emily decided to take all of the kids last Friday on the first day of break. Ha. Per the picture below, not the smartest idea we've ever had... it was INSANELY packed.


But... so worth it! The kids had a blast! We were there with Cole, Kylie, Avery, & Owen. Here's a few pics I had to post...







I love this - Reid, Owen, & Cole wrestling... all boy!




So yeah... this looks like the place we definitely have to book for Reid's 3rd birthday party... Fun times for all!

Recent Happenings...

I love this time of year... but with all of the fun brings a COMPLETELY packed calendar! We've been in the midst of Christmas parties and celebrations. It's been so much fun with Reid this year because he is finally to the age where he (somewhat) understands that Christmas is Baby Jesus' birthday and he definitely gets Santa Clause... ha!

Although he understands Santa Clause, you'll see in the picture that he didn't want to get too close... One of his friends, Sam, had a Christmas party where Santa came to visit. The kids had a great time!

Reid didn't want to sit in Santa's lap, but went and talked to him (holding onto Mommy's hand the whole time). The only thing he asked Santa was, "Where Rudolph the Red-Nosed at??" Haha... he makes us laugh!

A random iphone pic, but you'll see it's hard to get a serious picture of this kiddo most days =)

Oh... and did I mention... RG3 (BAYLOR BEAR) WON THE HEISMAN?!?!?! We've been on cloud 9! And even got a rare night out (kid-free) with some other BU friends to watch the Heisman presentation at Red Door...

With Lori & Mel

Mel, Holly, Ben, Nate, Allan, & Lori - Such a fun night with great friend!

And one more random iphone pic with my favorite little guy...

Reid's First School Picture

Had to post Reid's first ever school picture...and it is so stinkin' cute!


Those of you who know us, know that we have MAJOR hair cutting issues in our house (ie: Reid HATES them). So, of course, school pictures were held the day after he only received half a haircut. The hair person quit in the middle because she refused to cut a child's hair who had to be restrained. Yeah. We've since moved to the buzz cut - much faster and a little less painful for Mommy and Daddy. He still is the most handsome little guy, though!

Thanksgiving 2011

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever!
Psalm 107:1

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break with our families in Texas! It was relaxing and filled with lots of fun - exactly what we needed!

Our little family of three packed up and headed to Texas on Wednesday morning where we spent the week with Ben's parents (Grandma & Pops). Reid loves "trips to Texas" and is such a great traveler! Here he is watching his movies and wearing Mommy's sunglasses:


We arrived in Texas on Wednesday evening where we had a wonderful dinner with the Peterson's - even Uncle Jeff and his girlfriend Lizzie were in town! Then on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day), Grandma cooked a DELICIOUS traditional Thanksgiving meal. It was such a relaxing day of watching football... eating... sleeping... then eating some more! Here we are at Thanksgiving lunch: (Disclaimer: I had surgery the day before we headed to TX, so I definitely did not get out of sweat pants... nor did I fight my toddler to wear clothes. It was OK, though ... we never even left the house! Perfect!)

On Friday, we got to spend the day with my family (KK, Doc, Aunt NeeNee, & Uncle Craig) celebrating KK's 60th Birthday! We had a blast and I wish I had some more pics... but I do not. We did get to eat at Ben's FAVORITE burger place that just opened in downtown Fort Worth:

Ben was in heaven, to say the least! After lunch at In N Out, we headed to the Movie Tavern then back to KK and Doc's house to open presents and eat some more! It was such a fun day and evening with my family!

Another highlight from our Texas visit, was attending the Baylor /Texas Tech game at the Cowboy Stadium:

Such a blast! We saw a ton of old college friends and I have to say that it was so nice that BU WON! Here's Ben and I:

While we were busy at the game, Reid was busy entertaining the grandparents and aunts/uncles... He was showing off his stellar skills of double-fisting the apple products. Our child can use the ipad/iphone better than most adults!

All in all, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving break - we have so much to be thankful for and are looking forward to seeing all of the family again over Christmas!
