Welcome

We set up our adoption blog so you can get to know our family a little better. I started blogging back in 2007 and have kept up with it over the years. At the end of every year, we print off our blog for that year and give it to Daniel's mom for her Christmas present. She keeps all of her children's yearly journals in a notebook that we will get back one day to pass down to our kids. I try to keep it up to date as much as I can.


When we decided to start the adoption process, I decided to make an identical blog for birth mothers to read. Everything that I write about my family on our personal blog, I copy it over to my adoption blog. I understand that an adoption profile only gives limited information about us and we want you to have the opportunity to really get to know who we are and what we like to do as a family. Our adoption blog will show you who we were even before we adopted our boys. Feel free to read as much as you want or click on the links up above!

Family Fun Day

Daniel's brother, Brain and his family was in town so Daniel decided to take off of work on Friday. We got up super early and headed over to Mineral Wells Fossil Park. We went there back in October with Daniel's parents and his sister's family and had a great time.

The weather was just perfect! Overcast most of the time with a slight breeze. We found some great fossils this time because the last time we went was after a long drought.

Yes this is the best picture I could get of Carter.
Their cousin, Aiden, showing them how it's done!
Talon loves his Uncle Brian. Both of my boys loved putting lots of rocks in with Brian's fossils.
After we left the Fossil Park, we headed over Sonic for some food and then to the to park to let the boys run around.
They LOVE going down slides!
Next we headed down to Granbury to a little beach. This guy was working on a replica of the Eiffel tower. Pretty sweet!
Carter and me (:
They loved playing in the sand. I think we will definitely be going back.
They saw Daddy in the water and decided to join him.
We didn't know that we were going to be getting wet so we didn't bring bathing suits. So we just stripped them down to their diapers. On long days like this I always bring extra clothes and plenty of diapers.
Our boys had the best day ever. They got to dig for fossils in the dirt, play at the park and then go to a beach all while hanging out with family. They were in heaven.

After we left the beach, we cleaned up and headed to Tay's parents beach house and just relaxed. Carter slept for about half an hour in the car on the way to Granbury but Talon was up the entire time (12 hours straight) so as soon as we left, he was out cold. I LOVE days like this.
