Lots of new friends for E to meet...

I love coming home to visit friends and family. A lot of my friends have had Little ones, and I love getting to meet each of them. They are all so sweet and cute. I do get a bit sad though, because I would love for Easton to get to grow up with all of them here, but hopefully one day he will return and fit right in! :)

So here are all the babies..

Easton and Hudson

Easton, Landon, Gage, Cannon, Harper and Payton.. So I think we got one smile out of seven, I guess that is good. Right? :)

Easton and Cannon sharing a snack..

 As you can see Round Rock girls can really only have BOYS.. one friend has had girls, and she decided to try to make it a bit more even, and have twin girls. Other than her sweet girls, all boys for us. One other little boy is not in these pictures, and a another little boy is on the way!

So along with meeting all our little buddies, Grandma Maggie and Pop still can't get enough of little man..  Here are some more photos.. because clearly I am obsessed with my little man.

Grandma Maggie and Easton

Easton likes to wear Pop's hat..

Just love this picture.. he found the step and thought it was a great seat!

My little man has an obsession with his blanket.. and he thinks he needs to carry it everywhere.. so annoying...;)





Hope everyone is having a great weekend..



E's fun week at his Grandparents....

Easton has had a fun week hanging out with Grandma Maggie and Pop! Easton has been all around town visiting friends and family, and we still have three more days to play here.. but Easton had an especially fun day today. Grandma Maggie took him to an Inflatable Play World, to ride a choo choo train and to ride a carousel! To top the day off Easton got Chick fil a for his car ride home.. one lucky little boy if you ask me..

We are loving our visit to Texas, and my parents can't get enough of Easton! :)

10 years flew by...

My Ten year high school reunion was last night, and it was so good seeing everyone! There were lots of people I haven't seen in a while, so it was fun catching up!

Being one of the girls that planned the reunion was a bit stressful however, I defiantly don't recommend planning your reunion, however I did make sure to put some others in charge for the next reunion. I threw the Banner at the end of the night, and who ever caught it, I informed them it worked kinda like " tossing the bouquet at a wedding" .. yep, Bryan McCarley you are in charge in 10 years!

I think I will plan on attending Romy and Michelle style next time.. :) Reunions are so not what movies make them out to be, but they are still fun!



Some of the decoration! :)

Most of my close friends from High School!

Happy Birthday to Mr. Drake...

We hope your having a great day, we love you and miss you! - Easty Boy and Casey

It's coming together..

We moved out here 2 years ago for Drake to help with a stadium that he didn't even know 100% at the time was going to get built. Well, I would say that after a lot of work, it's coming together and the stadium is well on it's way!

Here is Drake with his team on the 50 yard line!

Can't wait for opening day! :) 2014 can't come soon enough!

 Go Niners...and still.. Go Cowboys, opening night is today, football has officially begun!

Camping....

For the three day weekend, we took off and headed to meet some of the Drake clan and some other family friends. We camped out for the weekend. However, I do think I have to call this fancy camping, we were in motor homes, not tents. I am sure most of you already guessed that, because Casey in a tent is never going to happen. Especially when the first day we are there, a bunch kids come running up with a snake they found! AHHHH.. I have a F.E.A.R. of Snakes.

I would actually say that I went to "Summer Camp" again, only this time I could drink beer all day instead of Capri Suns. :) There were organized events for all ages all day, cook outs, and a barn dance at night! It was a lot of fun, and as always I have tons of pictures, so enough rambling from me and on to the good stuff..

Our campers playing..

Sweet Riley!

Love watching these two run around together..

Total California boy, riding his farm toys in sandals! I need to get him some boots!

My sweet boy! :)

Drake with the other boys helping them fish!

Clear the roads people, I am coming through!

Horse shoes! Nice form Jen!

That looks a little high!

Family!

Love my family!

Our campers need a rest! :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!! We sure did!

2 is the number...

Some of you will be as surpirised as I was to realize that today marks 2 years of living in the bay area. How did those two years fly by as fast as they did. I felt like when we moved here, that 2 years was going to feel like forever. That same forever feeling you get as a Kid around christmas time, when you think Christmas day is never going to get here, and Santa will never come. Well, I will admit I was wrong, I think the time has passed in a blink of an eye.

At first, I had in my head that we were going to be here for 2 years, but now that 2 years is here, I am so glad it is for a bit longer, there is still more to do here and I am loving it! Still miss my friends and family, but if that is my biggest issue, I am good to go, planes are a wonderful invention! :)

I love reading back to my big move day  two years ago. Now I can fully laugh at our moving troubles, fleas, both cars breaking down, finding out we are going to have a baby all while looking at new houses that we might have to move in to.. it was a fun time now that it is 2 years later! :)

All in All, we are loving life out here and at this point we have spent the same amount of time in Dallas as we have in San Jose as a married couple. 2 years there, 2 years here, Drake did 3 seasons at the Cowboys and this is his 3rd season with the Niners... So not sure what we call home anymore, but we are happy! :)

Many thanks and love to those who have supported us in our move out here and kept me postive on the hard days!
