Well, this weekend went a little different than planned.  Connor and Ellie’s 4th birthday party was supposed to happen, but due to forcasted rain (that never happened) and my sister in law’s impending labor (which also never happened) we rescheduled for next Sunday.  My sister and her fiancé Vinny came to visit with cousin Jarrett.  Connor and Jarrett just adore each other.  We had a nice visit and got to catch up.  Bonnie’s getting married in June and I had the pleasure of taking some engagement photos of them too 🙂

We did some retail therapy at the mall and went to QT for iced coffees and scratch offs.  That’s just something we always do when she comes to town.  QT is a gas station that has a heavenly beverage bar.  We didn’t win on our scratch offs…poo poo 🙁  But we did have a good time!  Ate good Mexican food, watched movies, and just caught up on life.  It’s hard living away from home, but that just means you cherish the time you have with family a whole lot more.

Our boys adore each other.  They love, then they fight, tattle, and whine….but at the end of the day they are BFF.  They are 2 months apart and my Mom sent them matching shirts for spring so we dressed them alike.

I promise to post pictures of the circus birthday party coming up next weekend!

Connor had his 4-year check up today and he’s 90% in height and 80% in weight!  I can’t wait until he’s a teenager…ha ha!  I can just imagine our grocery bill 🙂

Look at these AMAZING cookies my friend Addyson made for the party?  I’m hoping they are still good next weekend.  They sure are delicious.  If you live in DFW and need a cake or cookies for anything I highly recommend Addyson.  If you need her contact email please email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com

Here are some photos from Bonnie & Vinney’s engagement session. You can see more on my PHOTOGRAPHY SITE.
