This is Mackenzie and one friends, Jaden Kindt.

5 Wonderful, Blessed Years!!!!

Ok, so I am a little bit behind.... OK A LOT!!! Ok, I am going to try my best to get caught up between now and this weekend. We will see.........

This past August 14th, Nathan and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. What a wonderful 5 years it has been. We have been through so much in our time as a married couple. We have been through job changes, job losses, children being born and family passing. I can't complain about anything.

We first started our anniversary on Thursday evening with dinner at Tuscani's Italian Restaurant. Our good friend, Jeff, the Ford Sales Manager, let us drive a brand new mustang for the day.

Here we are after eating with the owner, Tony, who made sure we had any and everything we wanted.

We took our annual trip to Arlington to watch the Texas Rangers play against the Boston Red Sox. Normally we would have only stayed one night in the metroplex, but this being our 5 year, we stayed the whole weekend, which gave us more opportunity to do more things. One of the things we did was we took a tour of the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. It was AWESOME. I'm not a big Cowboy fan (their not my number 1), but this place was incredible!!!! We ate at some different restaurants: Humperdinks, Hooters, and of course Salt Grass.

This was the first game we went to and our view from where we sat. The Rangers lost this game in the 9th inning.
This was left in our room while we were gone to the Ranger game that Friday night. How Sweet!!!

On Saturday afternoon, we took a tour of the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. Below they are taking up the turf to get ready for a concert. I can't remember which one, though.

Oh Happy Day!!!

On July 15th, 2009, my brother's wife, Amber gave birth to my niece, Kaitonn Grace. She was born right after 6 pm that evening. I don't remember her stats, but she was as healthy as can be. Her two older sisters were very proud and happy to finally see her as we all were.Here are all three girls: Konner, Karcynn, and Kaitonn. Konner and Karcynn are my brother's step- daughters.

One proud Aunt!!!! This child looks just like Justin. There is no denying her.

The two newest cousins, Kaitonn and Hunter.

July 4, 2009

This fourth of July was just like all others. We have a tradition now where we take a family photo out by our American Flag and then we head to Lake Nocona for a fun filled day in the water and with family. Mackenzie enjoyed jumping off the dock with her cousin Kassi this year. Here is our family photo:

I even took a picture of Mackenzie and Hunter.

Hunter

Well, I left off with having no stats on Hunter's one month check up: He is 10 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 1/2 inches. He is doing great. He is now sataying awake longer during the day and smiling and cooing at pretty much everything. He really loves his mobile that Mackenzie made at school. He will lay in his pack and play for hours just gazing up at it and "talking to it". It is so cute. Here are some more recent pictures of our growing boy.

Hunter and I spend some quality time together during the week. I enjoy taking pictures of him in different outfits. He, on the other hand, probably hates it. It is something he is going to have to get used to.

Hunter~ One Month Old

July 2, Hunter is one month old. He is doing great, and has all aspects of a growing boy. He takes after his dad that's for sure...
We go to his 1 month appointment on Tuesday. I will report back with stats.

Meeting the new addition

Here is Hunter meeting all of his family for the first time.

Welcome baby Hunter!!!!

On June 1, 2009, at 7:47 AM our bundle of joy greeted us. Hunter weighed 7 pounds and 2 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long. We are so very blessed, and our family is now complete.

Mackenzie is the first to hold her brother. She is a super proud big sister.

Finally in our room. Mackenzie can finally get a better look at her brother.

Do you think she is glad that he is here???
