Family Beach Trip

Yes...I know...

Brice is missing! We decided not to take him so that we could all enjoy ourselves, maybe even relax a little and especially to have some one-on-one with Sam.

More Beach Trip

1st

We all had a great time celebrating Brice's 1st birthday. It was a small gathering and I was so relaxed; enjoying every minute. It probably helped that Brian made a pitcher of margaritas as our guests arrived! Thanks honey!!

And....drum roll please....congratulations to my little sister Emme and her beau, Dave Talbert, who called to announce their engagement right before the party!

4th

We've had a great, long weekend of celebrations. Always, 4th of July in Moreland but this time with a mini-birthday party thrown in there so Brice's GREAT-grandparents could participate too. Not many kids have great-grandparents anymore.

One more thing

Brian and I had a great trip to the Dwyer Group's Annual Reunion in Grapevine, TX. We stayed at the Gaylord Texan and loved every minute! They had indoor fireworks one night. We are so lucky that our work allows us the opportunity to take such nice trips - something we wouldn't be able to do unless it was for "work". We're looking forward to the day we can take the boys with us so they can experience these great places too. The "gold man" was one of many roaming entertainers.

After you've been one all day...

You get to play outside with your big brother and get all wet & muddy! Happy birthday my precious Brice!

When you're one year old...

You go to see Dr. Slade for your one-year check up and you WALK to the scale. Brice weighed in at 22 pounds and is 30 inches tall. He stopped to check out all the nurses as he made his way down the hall. He cried pretty good over three shots and threw his BB at the nurse that administered them!
