ALL ABOARD!

My twin sister, Rebecca came for a visit to Dallas with her cute little boy, Oliver. They stayed for a fun and relaxing 6 days! One of the highlights of the trip was this trolley ride through a shopping/eating district in Dallas. The conductor of this particular trolley was so cute, so we had to include him in the line-up.

Some of the fun things we did included shopping in old town McKinney, a day at the mall (yes- we took all three kids!), the trolley ride, a trip to Sprinkles, a dinner at CPK with just Reba and I, and Rebecca playing at my teams' soccer game. Rebecca and I haven't played soccer together since intramurals at BYU and before that, in high school. So, it was fun to re-live the good ole' days, even if the game wasn't until 10:45 (props to Rebecca for being such a good sport about staying up so late- and for playing so dang good).

Can't wait to do it again!

To my beautiful bride ... a very public happy anniversary. Six years! You continue to be and will always be the most beautiful thing in my life. Love you! Brian

Kate and Taylor are fascinated by water, in any form. This fountain is no exception-every rock within 5 feet is now sitting at the bottom of it.



Kate got all dressed up this weekend to go to a princess party...Cinderella was the chosen princess of the moment. The girls have been keeping very busy lately with Disney Princess Polly Pockets. They play with them for hours every day so getting dressed up like a REAL princess with a place to go is one exciting event!

Hay!

A sunny day in our neighborhood...morning runs...jumping hay barrels....visiting the park...having a picnic...ice-cream cones...exploring with Daddy...quick shopping trip...Panera, mmm...oh, and general conference. That's our Saturday.
