Nana V and Miss Rory....as you can tell she loves jewelry!!! If you have jewels....you are her new best friend. :)
Lunch with Auntie Reagan at Genghis Grills..oh yeah she loves wallets too!

Lunch at Genghis Grill....Rory loves to talk and while i was getting my food I could hear her across the restaurant chatting with Auntie Reagan. She is quite the chatterbox! :) She fits right in! :)

she loves to chew on her diaper cream!

We love you Auntie Reagan and thanks for her spoiling Miss Rory! :)

A few weeks ago Auntie Reagan came to visit. We had a great time....lunch, shopping, and relaxing on the couch watching football. (actually Reagan and I talked throughout the game...while Greg watched the game :)) Rory loves to shop and we had a wonderful time!!! Nana V and Aunt Linds also stopped by for a little visit on Saturday! Rory loves visitors. :)

Northwood Church

Mimi and Rick came over sunday afternoon for lunch after attending a wedding in Frisco on Saturday! Rory loves visitors! Especially grandparents! :)

playing with Grandpa Rick
she is such a spoiled little girl! :) And I love it!


Last week our church held a Fall Festival for The Academy at West Birdville, which is a Title One School. They held dental screenings, flu shots, family potraits, lunch, games, bounce houses, etc for this school in Haltom City. I was the photographer for the event and it was a dream come true (as you all know I love to take pictures). The smile in the children/parents faces were so grateful. It was an inspirational day and makes me so thankful for the things I am blessed with. I took hundreds of pics here are just a few! Look for them a in a brochure near you....ha ha.

Greg had to work that morning so thank you Nana V for watching Rory so I could participate. :)

Greg and I finished our t-life classes a couple of weeks ago and were introduced as New Members at Northwood last week. We were presented in front of our church and we kneeled down and had so many words of prayer given to us. It was so moving and I am so glad we have made this step as a family. Northwood is all about praising other religions and just "loving" all religions and all types of people. They are about using your god given gifts to make a difference in the world. It is a church that I am so proud to be a part of and every sunday I am brought to tears for what God is doing around the world through Northwood. Today they had a woman from Saudi Arabia sing the Koran and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. I am trying to be a better mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and God and Northwood are helping me! I have a long way to go but I am so glad to start this journey. I am so thankful for all the blessings God has given me and I hope that Greg and I can make a difference to those less fortunate than us.

Halloween Weekend and My First night away from Rory!

Rory's first Halloween was so much fun! The Friday before Halloween Primrose has a Parade of Costumes.....where all the parents line the circular drive and take pictures of their darling little dears in their costumes. The Parade of Costumes is also known as "organized chaos." Daddy, Nana V, and Papa J came to see Miss Rory in her first Parade of Costumes. It was a great time! And afterwards we went to Corner Bakery for dinner! On Saturday, Greg and I dropped Miss Rory off at Nana V and Papa J's for her first overnight stay without mommy. I cried as we pulled out of the neighborhood, but after a little alone time with my hubby.....i thought..."hey this is pretty nice." Nana V texted me every few hours to let me know what Rory was doing and that she was a happy little girl! We had a wonderful time at the Tech/A&M with our good friends Kenny, Lindsey, Terrell, and Rachel. It was so nice to relax and enjoy adult time. I did wake up at 7am and kept nudging greg.....can we go now....i missed Rory so much. We picked Rory up from Nana V and Papa J's and headed to our house for an afternoon of carving pumpkins, and trick or treating. Greg had the amazing chance to go to a world series game with Papa J so we did our trick or treating early and then Rory helped Mommy pass out candy to all the trick or treaters while we watched the Rangers. It was a wonderful Halloween!!

Thank you to Nana V and Papa J for taking such good care of our Peanut!!!
