Keep It Simple

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our Easter was pretty busy but it was so special in so many ways. First of all my sweet Arizona mother, Catherine (who has taken me in as her own), hosted a baby shower for Baby Buck. He was shown great love from friends we've made out here in the desert. I cannot wait for him to meet all the loving people awaiting his arrival (only 15 more weeks to wait, by the way!). On that note he has some pretty amazing family that are anxiously awaiting to meet him, as well- my mother, Andy's mother, my grandparents (Mammy and Grandaddy) and my cousin all made the long journey out for the shower and for Easter. We are so thankful they were able to come!  We all had so much fun at the shower!  The nursery theme is woodland creatures.  Catherine and Gary We played some pretty entertaining games, which I will spare you the pictures from.

As of lately blogging has been the last thing on my mind; sorry to my loyal readers for the silence. Andy and I have been going through many emotions lately.

Experience Arizona, every part of it, go on crazy hikes and camping trips, take the horses on over night camping adventures. Oh man, did I have these thre...

We spent Christmas in Colorado with the Bucks and Phillips!  Christmas Eve dinner at The Broadmoor  Dylan, Lexie, and Tate joined us for New Years.  It was pretty tough not going home for Christmas but we had a great time with family and friends.  2016 will always hold some wonderful, challenging, and surprising memories. We are looking forward to the new year and what God has in-store for us in 2017.  For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6
