These are a bit over due, but I just got them back. Here are Juliet's one year pictures!

They're pretty cute if you ask me, but I'm a tab bias!

Merry Christmas from all of us!!!

Being cute for the camera

Playing in the grass...

Ok, so it's been months since I sat down to post anything, but there's been good reason! We didn't have a house! We moved out of our house in Keller, in early September, and in with some beautiful friends of ours, that took all six of us in for about 6 weeks! And finally about 3 weeks ago we moved into our new house here, in Allen. And I can't tell you how excited we are to be in and here!

In the midst of the past few months and moving in, we've also had Thatcher's 3rd birthday, my 30th and Halloween, so there are several new pictures I have have to share.....Bare with me!

First off is Halloween! Thatch chose to be Peter Pan and I figured this might be my only year to dress them up together, so Juls was his Tinker Bell! They were super cute! And for tricker-treating around the neighborhood Reif ordered an Obi One Kenobi robe and I was a pirate for our little man, who loves pirates!

The Whole Family dressed and ready to go!

Our little Peter Pan

His Tinker Bell

Juls chose to ride in the wagon mostly, which we discovered was very strategic! She wanted to dig in the candy! (Our little chunky monkey is very clever, when it comes to food!)

And can you believe that we have a 3 year old little man on our hands! I am in disbelief that it was 3 years ago that we were blessed with Thatcher. It has been the most full-filling adventure with him so far and I know it promises to continue. We are so lucky to have such amazing children in our lives!

For his birthday party he wanted to go to a bounce house so we rented a room at one and invited all his little friends and our family. He had an absolute ball! It was a great little party!

This is his smile when you ask him to say cheese!

(isn't it cute)

Little Juls gettin' her "ride on", on one of the little rides!

Our amazingly talented neighbor from our old neighborhood made Thatch's pirate cake.

Isn't it fabulous!

Blowing out the candles with Nathan!

I just had to share a few of these too! He got some dress up clothes for his birthday and this is him trying them all on. I love it!

Howdy Partner...

Trains on time....

He keeps giving us shots and reminds us that it's going to hurt, "pretty bad"!

Our personal chef!

Lastly, we took Thatch to Gatti Land for his birthday and here are a few pictures from there.

Hold on tight Buckaroos!

Juls was entranced by this little boat ride that they rode.

Thatch ridin' a hog!

Thatch and Reif toboganing...

This was Thatch's birthday get up at school. Isn't it cute!

Juliet's 1st BIrthday Party

Ok, well we finally had a little birthday party for our Little Juls (she'll never know it was a few weeks over due)! My Mom and I made a zillion cupcakes and our sweet (& very talented) neighbor made Juliet her very own, pink, polka-dot cake. It was very pink and really fun!

One of the rare times we all get a picture together!

The 12 months of our Juliet!

Her cupcake tree, cake and one year picture!

Happy Birthday Juliet!

It took her a while to figure out the cake, but she sure dove it, once she realized that it was edible! There's not much our little Juls won't eat!

Opening her presents...

Presenting her present, while practicing for her future, as a piano bar singer!

Thatcher showing Lolly his cupcake he made!

Thatcher and his adorable cousins (Halle, Karis, & Klaire) chowing down on their cupcakes, very quietly and politely out of the way!

After a big day, our little, party girl is tired...

Reif's brother, Beau, got married a few weeks ago, on the 25th of July, and I have been tardy in posting it. (Sorry, I was awaiting some more pictures.) So here it is.....He married Ms. Carrie Lee, from Joshua, TX, at the Annabelle Mansion, in Burleson; and they just returned from their honeymoon in St. Lucia! Hare are some of the pictures from the big day!

(Aren't our kiddos super cute, all dressed up!)

The Happy New Couple

My big boy, too "big" for pictures....

Come on Mom!

Our little princess all dressed up!

Just loved this one!

All smiles...

Ready to go people!

The cutest little flower girl ever!

He was so excited about wearing the tux and his "party" shoes, as he so adorably called them, BUT we are obviously done now and down to the essentials only!

Our cute, little family of four!

Our baby girl is one!!!

I am having a very hard time believing that we were blessed with our little angel 368 days ago, but we were, it's been an entire year! She continues, like Thatcher, to be one of the most wonderful miracles of Reif's and my life and love. I am so thankful for our perfect little family of four!
