A Tribute to Lori

This is just a little tribute to my little sis...Lori LaRae Frost
She is the most amazing person! I am currently in the process of finishing a book where the main character is basically her because I love her with all my heart! I am so blessed to have her in my life. After 5 brothers, God blessed me with a little sister who makes me smile every time I think about her. I have always looked up to her! She is so beautiful, talented, and smart! She graduated from college right before she had her baby (talk about determination). She has the voice of an angel, she is the best new mommy, she makes dinner every night for her awesome high school sweetheart hubby, Allen (who I also adore) and she never fails to smile. Most of all, she has such a great relationship with her Savior and is such a rock! I love you Lola! You are the best!

Here's their new precious baby I have YET to meet~LOVE YOU BENSON!!!

Our mornings these days...

Brock loves to get up each morning and go straight next door to his lil brother's room, swing open the door, and turn on his light. Well today, Ty and I heard him quite early this morning and when I walked upstairs to scold him, this is what I found! It was really cute cause Trey was just hanging out (in jail) listening to Brock read books and play in his room. He was content to sit there and wait for me to get up from my lazy slumber and get him out. I swear he was asleep before Brock got in there- UGH! Gotta love these moments!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

So Valentine's is one of my favorites, but it was a very adventurous one. It started out with me rushing to Wal-mart for some carrot sticks and dip for Brock's preschool party that I would not be able to attend. Then I got home, to take him and his friend Scotty to school and came home to get ready for our first ultra sound! The baby looks fine and there was only a little cyst on one of my ovaries but they said it usually just goes away. They will monitor it so I am not worried...

Then, Ty and I were able to go out to lunch together thanks to my mom for watching Trey and Jenny for watching Brock. Ty gave me beautiful roses and a precious card. After that, Brock came home and we started to clean house, then make dinner and the Valentine's Day party preps! Our lil fam put up streamers and made a chocolate cake with white frosting (Ty's fave). We ate Shephard's pie and drank sparkling cider, then opened our gifts.


The boys made Ty a custom heart plate with their handprints (from Walls of Clay in downtown McKinney), and a customized book with pics entitled "What we love about you..."

Brock and Trey got toys in the morning before school, and some books and new pillowcases their Grandma Janet made them for this special day.

Grandma got a beautiful vase of roses!

So, it was like Christmas around here! So much fun! And you can see the bugs we caught previously today got to enjoy watching us open presents (see the bug catcher above-just when did we have time to capture bugs today?) and Trey kinda liked his cake too! And after NO nap, you could say the boys were more than ready for bed once it hit 7!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!

WOW! Grandma and Grandpa Watkins have been married for 60 years...Now, that's love! Their anniversary isn't until the end of the month, but I thought it was appropriate to mention this kind of love around Valentine's day!

They got married very young, and have been head over heals ever since. My fiesty grandma told him she wouldn't wait around and that he would be making a mistake not to choose her. Acting as if it were no big deal, she played her cards right since my Grandpa (Russ) was such a looker! He couldn't stay away from Geraldine Nations.
For years, their routine would be to go to Target and Grandpa would just sit in the food court waiting...and waiting...for Grandma (there is no saying how long he would wait-I must say I get my love of shopping from you, Grma!). So, when she would be out of town, he missed her so much that he would go to that same Target and sit there waiting, as if she were just shopping. So whipped!
About 15 years ago, Grandma was diagnosed with parkinsons disease and it has slowly taken away her ability to walk as well, move her muscles, talk, etc. She is still fiesty and such a trooper!
A few months ago, the disease took a turn for the worst. Her heart is not working as well as it used to and we really thought we were going to lose her. Fortunately, she made it through-tough as nails she survived!
Grandpa has been there for her for better and for worse. I have never seen a couple so in love after all those years! They still have that look for eachother-so cute!
WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA! You are troopers. We miss you and wish you a very Happy Anniversary! May everyone reading this experience the kind of love and devotion through the years of their marriage that Russ and Jet have!
