GoodBye Party :/

Didn't think our goodbyes would come so soon, but after living in Waco for 8 years we decided to move back "home" to Nashville! We had many mixed emotions as we made this decision, but ultimately we wanted Weston to be closer to his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Before we left, David had put together a "going away" party for us that was such a sweet blessing! We enjoyed getting to visit with all the special people that helped Waco feel like home for the past 8 years! When asked what we will miss the most, the answer is most definitely our FRIENDS. :( We are so thankful for the friendships that we developed and thankful that God allowed us to cross paths with such amazing people during that chapter of our life. I know that we will keep in touch with most, but it was certainly hard to say goodbye. I have a lump in my throat thinking about it. :/

Here are some pictures from that fun evening! Thanks to all who came and made us feel so loved!

 We love the McReynolds family! Jim, Missy, Audrey, Hudson, and Emily!

Boat Ride!

Wes and I are quite the river rats, therefore it's important to us that Weston grows up on and near the water! So, before we left Waco, we took him on his first ever boat ride on the Brazos with David and Ross! Wes had been wakeboarding with the guys that morning and then I brought Weston out a little later! I'm thinking we have another wittle river rat!! :) He seemed a little unsure, but I think he liked being on the boat!

 It's never too early to surf!!

 The big boys!

Fredricksburg, Texas

Wes and I have lived in Texas 8 years and never been to Fredricksburg...that's a problem! We had always wanted to go, so one of our last weekends in Texas, Wes decided to take me! His parents had been in town helping with Weston and so they joined us as well. We had a wonderful time. It was a quick trip, but lots of fun! Wes took me to Enchanted Rock which he had climbed his JR year at Baylor! Such a cute and quaint town! I'm glad we got to experience it before leaving Texas!

Ready to do some shopping!

Talking to Bob!

LOVE my lil' bear!

Wes found the coolest little Hotel, Diner and airport in Fredricksburg! It was called The Hangar hotel and Diner. We spent many hours watching planes fly in and out!!

My First Mother's Day!

This Mother's Day took on a whole new wonderful meaning this year! Not only did I get to call my mother and thank her for all she's done and continues to do for me, I also got to enjoy "Mother's Day!" We started the morning at church where all moms were given a $5 Starbucks card...yes please! Then we came home and had a relaxing afternoon. We picked Angie up that evening from the Waco airport, and Wes prepared a wonderful steak dinner for us all! What a great and memorable FIRST Mother's day!! Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a mother...what a JOY!

Wes bought me the movie "The Vow" so good!

Delicious steak dinner! Thanks to Wes!

Weston's First Wedding / Camping Trip!

Weston attended his first wedding and oddly enough had his first camping experience in the same weekend! Wes' teammate and friend, Colton Williams, married Rene Soto on May 5th, 2012 in Jacksboro, TX. Since Angie had been staying with us in her airstream we decided to take that to the wedding and camp out since the hotel choices in Jacksboro were slim pickens! Maybe "airstreaming" isn't quite "camping" but close! It's the best way to camp with a 4 month old! We had a great time, Weston slept in his pack n play beside me and Wes and Angie slept on the twin beds. He did great! Wes and I were able to spend some time with friends and dance a little too once Weston went to sleep! Overall a fun weekend getaway!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend in Jacksboro

 We saw Mater driving home!

 We also got to see the World's largest rocking chair, also found in the Guinness Book of World Records!
