Family photos

While we were visiting the farm with Philip's family, Cliff came over and took family photos for us. They turned out SO good! Thank you Cliff!!!

Family weekend with the Catos

We recently had our annual farm trip with Philip's family. It's something we all look forward to and the kids always have such a great time! This year was even better than last because baby Thomas joined the crowd : ) and because Lia was old enough to run around outside with Evan and Campbell! Here are some photos from the weekend...

B-day fun at the farm!

We went to the farm for Philip's bday again this year, and some of our best friends from home got to come spend the weekend celebrating with us! It was soooo much fun!! Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Welcome Baby Avery!

On Sunday, Keri was induced and just a few short hours later, baby Avery was born. Philip, Lia and I went up to the hospital to visit them and meet Avery that afternoon. She is absolutely beautiful!! Sage is already such a great big brother giving Avery many many kisses : )

Lia didn't really know what to think of the tiny baby. She got a bit upset when I held Avery, but after a minute she calmed down and came over to see for herself. On the way home, she kept saying "Sage baby sister" over and over again.

Ryan and Keri got to take Avery home Monday night. Congratulations to the DesAutels, and Welcome Baby Avery!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McDonald's!

Lia had McDonalds for the first time today, and of course, it was a hit! She wasn't so into the chicken nuggets, but she loved the cheeseburger and fries dipped in bbq sauce : )

Long weekend with Daddy

Philip had Monday off work, so we got to enjoy a nice long weekend with him at home. We spent our time relaxing and getting in some good quality family time. On Saturday, we drove out to The Woodlands where we walked around Market Street and ate at a new pizza shop. On Sunday, we went to Tomball for breakfast at the Nook, then went to a local park to play. We had so much fun that after Lia's nap, we went to another park then ate Italian. On Monday, we met Keri, Ryan and Sage at Top Donuts for breakfast. The kids had fun, and the donuts were so yummy!! Enjoy all the new pics...
