Our newest great nephew made his appearance to the world:

February 2012

Enjoyed attending the baby shower for a new great nephew:

These gifts are from 2 sisters (my sister in laws).  So funny that they got very similar gifts.  I guess great minds do think a like.

Later in the month, we did a weekend get away to Waco but had to make a trip back into the metroplex to attend the 50th Anniversary of a couple of my cousins:

It was a great time to renew some friendships and meet some cousins that I'd never met.

January 2012

Our year started with the birthday of one of our friends:

She cracked me up as you will see, the cupcake was not eaten but the peas, fruit & cheerios were.

2011 in Review

April - we had a weekend in Dallas for Uncle D to take some pictures

June -  a girl's trip to NYC to enjoy the sights & a show.

The end of June - enjoyed a day shopping with these girls:

Labor Day Weekend - we headed to San Antonio for some photo ops and Uncle D got a GREAT one of the Alamo:

October was a road trip to beat all road trips.  We headed to CO, UT,  AZ & NM.  Uncle D arranged some photo tours and he got some AWESOME pictures and I got a few good ones:

December took us to Atlanta for the annual Christmas party for Uncle D's company and while there we visited the Coca Cola Museum - pretty interesting.

  

The day after Christmas we headed to the Gaylord Ice Exhibit with friends.  I loved it but others thought it was too cold to enjoy.

It was a GREAT and very BLESSED year for

Uncle D & I.

Hello - I'm back....

My last post showed a picture of this cutie when she was born - she is growing into a girl with lots of personality and so much fun.  I'm going to youth camp with our church in a couple of weeks & have voluntered to be her nanny for the week so that her mom can interact with the youth without having to worry about nap time - I can do nap time really well.

Two Great Events

The picture below relates to both events:

The first and most important event was the birth of Evelyn Hope Hatton on Tuesday, 12/28/2010 and the second was that her TCU Horned Frogs won the Rose Bowl on New Years Day 2011.

My New Favorite

I have a new favorite website that I visit each morning and have posted on my FB. I have found great encouragement & exactly what I have needed each day sometimes several times a day as they post on FB. It is Proverbs 31 Ministry. Check it out and see you if are as blessed as I am each day with their Encouragement for Today.

Purple Butterfly

Have you ever seen a purple butterfly - if not you have now:

One of my little friends who can be a real toot but she sure is a cute one.

Baby Elijah

On October 7, my great nephew, Elijah Zane was born weighing in at 1 lb 10 oz. He was so tiny but definitely a little miracle. Today, I stole some pictures from his mom and wanted to share them with ya'll.

Mom is doting.

Little pumpkin head.

Mom & dad enjoying some baby Elijah time.
As of today, he is weighing in at 2 lbs 2.6 oz. and mom got to help give him a bath.

Great Week - The End

Saturday morning found us at Payton's first soccer game of the season:

And in the afternoon, we took in a double header baseball game:

All in all, it was a great week from the start to the end.
