HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We left California on New Year's Day to start our loooooooooooooooong road trip back to Texas. But before we left - we let the little guys do a little celebrating of their own (since they didn't quite make it to see the ball drop). Hats and horns and running around makin' a bunch of noise...pretty much the same way the grown ups celebrate it.
This year my theme for our family will be an emphasis on the little things. Mostly these little things in the pictures, but also not getting overwhelmed by the "big stuff" and just taking things one little step at a time. Because I think I heard one time that "out of small things proceedeth that which is great", right?

Papa Allen

Cooper and Porter LOVE their "Papa Allen"...and why wouldn't they??

Cooper gave Grandpa a Longhorns hat for Christmas.Playing in the back yard...

Thank you Grandpa (and Grandma too!) We had so much fun at your house.

Tash, Josh and Heath


Since Natasha and her cute family live so close to Legoland we met them for dinner after we left the park. Heath is such a character I loved playing with him - he has the best expressions. It was fun to meet Josh for the first time and get to catch up with Natasha. Thanks guys for taking time to hang out with us!
