Welcome to the Hood Bryce Ethan!

Sweet baby Bryce was born this morning at 8:45. He was set to come on the 12th for an induction but this precious gift from God had other plans. This morning at 6ish we received a phone call from his daddy. Casey and I kept big sister and big brother while Liz and David rushed off to the hospital. Oh, I tell you friends...there just isn't anything like welcoming a new baby into the world is there?

Welcome to the world Bryce!

We are already head over heels for you.

I had a date with....

not one but two handsome little men in my life! Luke, Landry, and I had a date Friday night as sister was at a birthday party and daddy was flying home from New York. It was so much fun. I hope they ask me out again! We started off with dinner at DQ (Dairy Queen for my non Texan friends). They even opened the door for me. What gentlemen! (yikes...I was looking a little rough from a long week without daddy in this picture)
Then my dates asked me if they could buy me some ice cream at Cold Stone...well, unfortunately both of my dates didn't have their piggy banks on them so I asked if it would be ok if this once I could pay for the ice cream. They didn't seem to mind and asked for sprinkles, M & Ms, gummy worms, etc. Boy, were they an expensive date but soooooo worth it!

Luke, you are going to make a perfect date for some sweet girl in the future. You are so thoughtful in asking that I go first and pulling out my chair for me. Maybe you might need to work on not getting so much of your ice cream on your shirt but you were such a little gentlemen. Thank you sweet boy for the wonderful date!

Landry, you will also make a perfect date someday for a sweet little girl in the future. You love to make me laugh and can keep the conversation lively! Maybe work on a little less "bugger" talk. ha! Thank you sweet boy for my wonderful date!

Time is going by too fast with you two boys. I will look up one day and remember this date and how it isn't a date with me anymore but some little girl. I loved every minute with you two! I think for now on we will set aside a "Mommy Date" every month.

I love you two boys~Mom
