Happy Day!

Today is Rich and my 6th Anniversary. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I love my husband so much and I can honestly say that I am married to my best friend. Happy Anniversary sweetheart! I love you!

Also, today is my sister Suzanne's 24th birthday. She is celebrating her first birthday on her mission in Stockholm, Sweden. She is a wonderful sister and aunt to Eliza and we miss and love her so much! Happy birthday Suz!

Catch Up

I haven't really posted in a while so I just wanted to do a quick catch-up. On May 7, we went up to Chris Hall's firefighter family night in McKinney. Here is a quick shot of Ellie in front of the fire truck before my camera battery died. Congrats Chris! We are so proud of you!

On Mother's Day, the Taylor's invited us over for lunch after church. We had a delicious meal and needless to say, it was a wonderful Mother's Day and I didn't even have to cook! Thank you so much Keith and Marti for having us over! Below is a totally funny pic of Ellie on the top shelf of the Taylor's pantry. Keith had a great time perching her high on top of things. Thanks Doug for coming through with the blackberry since I didn't have my camera. Rich and Ellie gave me a wonderful present of a spa day complete with pregnancy massage, facial, and pedicure. I am so excited to book my appt.


Rich's birthday was on Friday and we celebrated by going out to Pappasito's the night before (best fajitas ever!) because we were going to drive down to Houston that night for Margaret's college graduation. Rich got tickets to U2's upcoming concert at the new Cowboy's stadium in October for his b-day.

Upon arriving in Houston, we realized that Ellie's shoes didn't quite make it into the car (OOPS!) so we stopped at Target and Babies R Us on the way in to try to find some shoes that would go with her little dress for the graduation. Can you believe that we couldn't find a pair of plain white sandals at either place? So frustrating! The next morning we found a Stride Rite (thank goodness) and got shoes so Ellie could walk around at the graduation and in grandma's backyard. She just loves looking at the fish in the koi pond. I think she actually wanted to dive in a couple of times. Congrats on your college graduation, Margaret! Good luck at med school!

Here are some pics of Ellie that Uncle Hai took wearing the little outfit that he and Aunt Nancy bought for her. I just love her toothy grin. It totally looks like there is gum in her mouth!

Ellie's Announcement

So, when Richard blogged about our expecting baby #2, we didn't have any pics of the little shirt Ellie wore to tell my parents...so I took some yesterday. Enjoy!

Taylor's Marine Graduation

Friday, April 17th, my youngest brother Taylor graduated from Marine Corps Boot Camp at MCRD San Diego, CA. The following is a video that I put together of clips from family day and graduation. We love you and are so proud of you Taylor!

Here we go again!

We are 9 weeks along. The baby is due November 18, 2009!

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday yesterday. Ellie really enjoyed her basket and her new Easter dress (Thanks Grandma Nguyen)! We can't believe it was a little over a year ago that we blessed our baby girl. She is growing up so fast!
