Monster Trucks, Sea Island, and Superheroes
In January we kicked off the fun with some of our friends with a trip to the Monster Jam at Reliant. We first went when the boys were 3 but after the meltdowns decided to wait until they were quite a bit older to go again. Some major excitement about this event!
And we made a fun little Valentine for the family this year ..
While most of the country was covered in snow, we had some great weather and took full advantage of the temperatures Houston has too offer.
Life with these boys is always full of adventure and excitement for this mom. Treasuring these days that are flying past.. My heart is full.
Love,

In early February I got to travel to what is now one of my favorite
places Sea Island, Ga to celebrate my mom's birthday. I cannot begin to describe the coastal beauty and the absolute peacefulness of this place. Mom and I had a once in a life time experience on the islands and I treasure these memories in my heart.
