I'm Going Crazy!

Well, its been a crazy two weeks. It all started on the 15th, when we took a trip to San Antonio with our friends Billy and Courtney. We had a blast, however, I didn't get a single picture. We floated the Guatalupe, did a ton of shopping for our kids, and ate at our favorite restaurant, The Melting Pot.
We were home with our kids for one day, only to leave again for Las Vegas. Vegas was my gift to Craig for his thirtieth birthday. My sister Sarah and her husband Aaron went along as well. We had alot of fun, however, the heat was unbelievable. While we were laying out by the pool, we got to see Deion Sanders, who used to play for the Dallas cowboys, so you can only imagine how excited the boys where. We stayed at the The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, in an amazing suit. We where only able to do that because we shared a room with my sister and brother in law. Other wise, it would have been way out of our price range. So thanks Sarah and Aaron, for putting up with Craig and I for 4 days.
We got back last Sunday, only for Mason to start preschool the next day. I cannot believe how big he is. He only goes to school two days a week and then he and Reece go to PDO on the days that I work. I can't wait for the new baby, because I get to go part time, and the kids can stay home with me. Part time for me will be just 2 days a week, which means I can still do what the Lord has called me to do , as well as what I love to do more than anything else, be with my family.

Here are a few pictures of the last 2 weeks This is Mason and Reece trying on a few of the new clothes we bought them in San Antonio. Can you believe how big Mason looks. :(

Vegas
I have no idea what I was doing with my face, but obviously I wasn't smiling. My stomach wasn't reacting well to all the food we had just eaten, or maybe it's the pregnancy, who knows.

Oh, and did I mention, we also got a puppy for Mason this week. Her name is Blue and she is a Chocolate Lab. Not sure why Mason chose Blue for a brown dog who is also a girl, but that's what he wanted, so that's her name. We have been waiting for her for a long time, so we are glad to finally have her. I think!
Yikes!

He was so surprised. I am so glad I pulled it off. I was sure that he would find out somehow. Yeah for Craig turning 30!

It's time to tell!

Well, It's time to tell! Those of you that read my last post, probably have some idea about what I am about to reveal. There were even a few of you that commented on the particular statement that I made in that post. Well, sorry that I lied to a few of you about it, (Kristin, Denae, Hollie) but I wanted to wait until just the right time, and I couldn't tell my friends before our families were told. We had a surprise birthday party for Craig on Friday night, and at that time, we were able to tell all of our family and close friends. Not that those of you that were not at the party aren't close friends, but we felt like it was the right time to tell. We had originally wanted to wait a few more weeks, but when Craig was surrounded by all of his family, and friends that mean so much to him, he just couldn't keep it in any longer. So here it is. We are pregnant with our THIRD child! Crazy! I am seven weeks, so we have only really known for 3 weeks. I originally wanted to wait until I was farther along, maybe 12 or 13 weeks, but I have found that after having two children already, my wonderful abs (haha) aren't what they used to be, and I am unfortunately ALREADY getting a small belly. Or maybe I'm just fat, either way, I wasn't going to be able to wait 5 to 6 more weeks to spill the beans. So there it is.! That is my secret, and again, I am so sorry to those of you that I lied to about it. I wanted to tell you all, I really did.



P.S. I will post pictures of the party soon. We had such a good time, and Craig was so surprised.

A Little Now...More Later!

Sorry I haven't posted anything new in a while. We have had a crazy summer and it looks like it is only going to get crazier. Craig is in New York as I write, and has been there since Friday. He is with a bunch of friends watching way too many major league baseball games, and just hanging out doing whatever it is guys do. So, here I am in Lubbock, at work to be exact, dreaming of my next vacation, which looks like it will be in about a week and a half. We are going to San Antonio with friends to hang out for 4 days, then we will come back to Lubbock, only to leave again 1 day later for a b-day trip for Craig's 30th birthday, compliments of his wife. It was going to be a surprise, but I accidentally let the cat out of the bag. OOPS! We will also be heading to Abilene after all of this crazieness to meet my new niece Anna Grace, who will be here soon (hopefully August 20th, on Craig's birthday). YEAH! Anyways, as soon as I get back from my traveling, I will post pictures and I'm sure, more great stories.


P.S. Craig is also going to start building our house in the next few months (he says in 2 months, but we will see), so I will post pictures of the progress. We soooooo need a bigger house, especially now. :)

More Fun on the 4th!

Summer Vacation

Reece is always stripping down to just her diaper. (I wish this picture was bigger, but I am no computer genius, so I have no idea how to fix it.)



Mason and his cousin Kaden. They are "best buddies" as Mason would say.






We just recently got back from our yearly family reunion at Lake Whitney. We have a blast every year, and this year was no exception. There were thirty something of us there this year, and even though we were missing a few, we still had fun.

July 4th!

We had so much fun during our trip to Abilene on the 4th. The kids loved getting to see their cousin Luke and spending time with Craig's grandparents (Babe and Papa). I have more pictures of our trip to post later, these are just a few that I had available.

It's Been A While!

So I guess it's been too busy around my house to blog, yet I can't really recall what has made me so busy. I mean, we have been out of town every weekend for the last month and a half for graduations, vacations, and to see family. We where in Kerrville all of last week, and all the while I have been working. Only three nights a week each week, so I just can't imagine why in the world I haven't had time to blog.
Everyone is doing great! Craig has been so busy at work. He now has 3 full-time employees and is now looking for a full-time secretary. It is crazy to think that just last year it was only Craig and one other guy. The Lord continues to amaze me everyday! I on the other hand am still doing the Nursing thing. I still work with pediatrics, and I still love it. Mason is growing-up faster than ever. He is completely potty trained, he can dress himself, and just the other day, Craig found him in the bathtub bathing himself. He undressed himself, turned the water on, and got right on in. To top it all off, he starts pre-school next year. Reece is 18 months old and is in the process of being potty trained. She talks in full sentences, although sometimes you can't understand a word of what she is saying, and she is turning out to be quite tall for her age. 95th percentile to be exact. I have a feeling that both of my children will be taller than I ever thought about being. We can't wait for vacation, or should I say vacations, and we look forward to many days of swimming in Lolli and Pop's pool. (that would be my parents) We have several trips planned for the summer, so my hope is that I can blog about each excursion.

3 YEARS!

Three years ago, God gave us an amazing gift. A gift that I never could have imagined would be so great. That gift was Mason Lane Roberson. He will be three on the 26th, and I have to say that my life has been so much fuller because of him. He is loving and kind and has such a sweet, sweet heart. He loves his sister (most of the time), and is always giving her hugs and saying sweet things to her. I love it the most when he puts his hands on my face and says, "Mommy, your my girl!" (He got that from his Dad) He is passionate and strong willed like his Mom, yet he is quiet, and tender hearted like his Dad. He loves Jesus, and reminds us daily that "God made the moon". He loves to sing, especially if it's Shane and Shane or George Strait (AKA "Cowboy Strait") and he loves to dance with his Daddy. He loves to read to his sister and he loves to play ball outside with her too. He loves to work with Daddy and use Daddy's tools, and he loves to help Mom cook and take out the trash. I would go on forever if I could, about how amazing He is.
I love my sweet boy, and he makes my heart happier than he will ever know. I love you Moose!

Bon Jovi

We took a little trip to Dallas to see Bon Jovi this last weekend. I was never a BJ fan, however, Craig is a huge fan. I was only two when Bon Jovi was in his prime, so I didn't grow up listening to Him. Craig has been a fan for pretty much all of his life. We had a lot of fun, and we even got to see Tony Romo and Jason Whitten from the Dallas Cowboys.

We also went to the Kidd Craddick in the Morning show, and had pictures taken with all of them.
Craig is again a huge fan of theirs. (this weekend was really all for Craig, and I was just along for the ride) Casey and Dana Brewer went as well, which made it alot more fun for me.
I love my husband so much and I truly love getting to go on trips with him, even if we are doing things that I don't really enjoy. I'll post pictures later of our visit with Kidd Craddick.

Our Weekend in Ohio.

We had a great time in Ohio for Shane and Beth's wedding. For those of you who don't know, all of the groomsmen and their wives took Shane and Shane's buses, which was fun, but long. When I say long, I mean 24 hours one way to be exact. It was tons of fun, and we loved getting to spend time with our close friends. The buses were great! However, I don't know how they live on them for most of the year while they are on tour.

Here are a few of the pic's from our trip.

I think Jeremy had his picture taken with everyone in the room, and I'm not joking.
We had so much fun and we look forward to the next time we can all get together again. Maybe if Jeremy would find a women, we could do it again sooner than later.
