An Evening with our Niece & Nephew
These babies are just too adorable for words! The pictures say it all....
Meet my 7-month-old, adorable neice, Isla. Beautiful blue eyes, bright red hair and ruby red lips...
She liked my ring. Uncle Brandon told her that one day she would have one too. It was a sweet moment :)Uncle Brandon decided he would sing to her....
Not a fan....
And then there is crazy fun Asher! He and Brandon laughed for about an hour straight!
What a night!

Billups Birthdays!
My niece,Karoline, turns two! (This was in January but I'm just now uploading the pics to my computer!)
I LOVE this picture of Brandon and Karoline. Karoline had just finished putting on her bday gift from us.. her first pair of HIGH HEELS!
Now onto Pawpaw's 70th birthday! This was his place-setting at the table. Pawpaw loves crossword puzzles. So we made one up about him!
(the scrabble letters say "Papa is a handsome dude". He used to get all the grandchildren to say that when they were little)
"Pawpaw is special because...."
Klaire with her momma! Look at those chubby cheeks!
Karoline with her Mimi (aka...Brandon's mom!)
The Birthday Boy!! I love him!!
My sister-in-law and I!Pawpaw had a clever game for Krystal, Brandon and I to play. It went a little something like this: "Put this plastic bag over your head...... Now, take take off something you don't need." If you can understand from the picture... Krystal and I were slow to understand the joke. Ha! (WARNING:Children, do not try this at home!!)
Playing "airplane" with far too many adult guys...This game ended quickly!
They love each other....
Alot...
The Men.
(From left. Grayson (Brandon's cousin), Ryan (Bradon's little brother), Brandon, Pawpaw (Brandon's grandad), Jared (Brandon's big brother), Bob (Brandon's daddi-o), Roni (Brandon's uncle))
Hello Me (and Krystal)!
Champ exhausted from a long day of birthday celebration (and from his first experience of being stepped on!)
Hope you enjoyed re-living the birthday celebrations!! Stay tuned for Klaire's and Debbie's birthday (both in the next two weeks!)

Blessings
What a great day! I am trying to make it a point to notice even the smallest things in life that I know God grants me the opportunity to experience and enjoy.
Things that made me smile today....
- I got to spend the afternoon with Brandon on a Tuesday! People who have survived a long distance relationship would understand the joy that this brings! We can meet and have lunch on ANY day (well, sorta). I definitely do not take those mid-afternoon dates for granted .. for 3.5 years we didn't have that!!
- Brandon is AMAZING. He is DEFINITELY my other-half. He makes me laugh harder than anyone else.
- I know who Jesus Christ is and LOVE Him - I can't ever be thankful enough for that!
- I have such great friends... Katie and I had another hour conversation about weddings, registries and politics today! She and I are definitely in the same boat of life right now! She is so practical with everything; I am trying to learn from her ways. "I would rather just register at Costco. You know.. they sell China, Samsunite luggage and towels!" - Katie
- Kaela and I had a catch-up talk! I miss that girl. She and Daniel might of found a house to buy in Tyler. I am soo excited for them! She is SUCH an amazing woman. I definitely give the Lord FULL credit for having her and I find each other at A&M when we did. His timing is the best.
- Mrs.Billups cooked another great dinner tonight and Mr.Billups got a Snuggie! That made us all laugh for awhile!
- Champ's paws turned green from the grass. Talk about a grass stain.
- I got lost driving home from Addison today, but I found my way home without help! YAY!
- Ryan (Brandon's little bro) sold one of his geckos for $150 to a nice man with a baby - the whole situation just makes me grin.
What blessings have you seen today?

Cake Vendors
Cakes:

(A young lady named Sunday works here - she is terrific! We cake tested with her but ended up going with Panini Cakes due to prices. But she is great! And she is a wedding coordinator as well. She is very well priced for her coordinating services!)
Brandon and I at Delicious Cakes test-tasting... We just had to get a picture with this gigantic cake! It is not the cake we are getting - but sure looks pretty amazing.
Enjoy!
