Saffy & Daddy Feb 2012

Today, Saffy put stickers on daddy during church. What a cool Dad .

After the Superbowl, Saffy re-stickered Daddy.

Saffy next to our enherited Headboard from Grandma Moyes. The light was just picking up the blue of her eyes and she was wanting to have her picture taken.

Here she was closer to the camera and what a cutie!

One of the many photos in Jace's many crazy pictures. He takes pictures from a view that most people wouldnt think of . Maybe he will be a photographer.

Jace likes to take the camera and go off in his own.

Audra in her new coat.

Saffy playing with her unicorn. Really cute.

Kitchen Renovation Winter 2011/12

This picture is from Sept (Saffy's Birthday). This illistrates the look of the kitchen. The backsplash tile is actually the same tile as our bathroom. The contractor that built the house saved money by using it (cheap). Audra hated it from the begining.
The cabitnets are so 1989. Alan (Grandpa) came down in Nov/Dec and really set us up from repainting the cabinets and replacing the drywall. When grandpa was here Audra and he took down the cabinets and sanded, primed twice and painted twice and varnished once!! it took 8 days of working. Much appreciated dad! I really dont think this would have happened without you being here and getting it started. You are awesome and Steve is too! Below is our evolution.....

The tile came off with the drywall. Major demo.

We went with a 2x4 off-white tile.

I made over 100 custom tile cuts from the 2x4 tile to make all the corners and around electrical.

After the grout, the tile really becomes prominent and so 2012

The grey/silver paint along with the black cabinets give the kitchen definition and comfort.

Alan - Cabinets, Drywall

Audra - Cabinets, Hardware, Touch-up

Steven - Demo, Tile Install, Paint

Done................. :)

Cade Present

Jace Present

Gag gift given to Mommy. It was a box that showed slippers with speakers in them. The worst possible gift to give Mommy if it was real. The box contained good gifts.

Saffy's Gift

Fall 2011

11-11-11 was Jace's birthday. All he wanted was a marble maze. He loves it and Daddy super glued the whole thing together.

This was when he was opening it. Totally blissed out happy.

We came home a few weeks ago and heard something in the corner of the garage. It was this gorgeous adorable OWL! I have never seen an owl in the wild that close up. It was pretty cool. He flew away as soon as I took this picture. Cade was a ghost on Halloween. This is a total throwback to the kind of costumes kids wore in the 50's. I do things old school . He didn't seem to mind or notice. He just had fun.

Saffy had the cutest Snow White outfit but she really wanted to be a dragon again. And Jace wanted to be James the train for the third year in a row! It's all about what they want to be right, so let them be happy.

Our friend from church did our family pictures. They turned out great. We really didnt expect them to be this good because the kids were so all over the place while we were having them taken. We love them!

This is a video of Steve jumping out and scaring Saffy and her reation. She loves this game.

Jace's birthday. Cant believe he is so big!

Early Fall 2011

Update Early Fall 2011....there are a lot of pictures because we have been busy having fun! Enjoy!

Saffy and Jace eager to ride Cade.

The boys went to Shenaniganz and you can tell by the look on Jace's face how much fun they had. Grandpa and Grandma White visited and spoiled everyone ROTTEN.

These were taken outside Pro Bass.

Saffy LOVED Ruby and cried when she left. I bet Ruby cried tears of joy. Saffy was so bossy to that dog. She pulled her around on her leash and shouted commands. What a patient dog Ruby was!

Grandma White holding Saffy on the last day of the visit.

Steve was a wonderful daddy and took the boys to the Texas State Fair. This one in on the giant Ferris Wheel.

My boys on the Merry go round.

Love this one. I dressed them alike in case one got lost we could say "he looked like this" and show them the other kid.

At the animal barn playing with the feed.

And feeding the goats.

This was at the Dallas Museam of Art. the Grass wall

The kids were crazy excited inside and we had a hard time keeping track of them cause they were running from station to station. At least we got a few photos.

Jace going for a daddy ride outside the museum.

We went camping this weekend. I know, In october! we love texas!

This was our picture in the dark. We were running around with flashlights.

I thought this was funny cause they look soooo alike! I mean, Steve just cloned himself on this kid!

There is a burn ban in Texas so this was our fire. I love a fire camping more than anything so it kinda took the fun out of it but they kids didn't seem to mind at all.

This boy is so photogenic. He always looks so dang cute!

Saffy is really in a kissing faze lately. I got a few of her kissing her daddy.

Steve bought her this pink fishing pole and , I kid you not, she just casted and reeled it in all night!

This is the best photo! we were walking out to the lake to fish and I shot this! There should be a song whistled.

She didn't even need to be asked, she was just in charge of the tackle box and dont you forget it!

Finally, we caught a fish! and it was truly, no lie, on his "one last cast" before we were done! Cade was the bravest and touched it.

This was taken today out back! I love this! So happy togetherrrrrr!
