I love my boys

I sure love a good vacation, hanging out with friends, making fun memories..but what I love even more than that is the life Jeffrey and I are making. I want to remember sweet afternoon walks with my 3 boys. My heart could burst with how thankful I am for them! 

Thankful for my little family,

MJ

My Boys

I am trying to snap more pictures of the puppies and just in general, but the other night before club we had a mini family photo shoot. I sure am thankful for these 3. 

Thankful for my boys,

Puppy Brothers

So just because I love our puppies so much I wanted to document them on the blog as well! This picture is just too good! Our friends The Laney's have two golden doodles from the same breeder. So that makes 4 doodle brothers in Grapevine. It is so crazy to have them all together, but oh soo fun!!

Thankful for puppy brothers,

MJ

Truett Jones

Well we may have lost our minds, but Jeffrey, Griffin & I have added a new member to the family. Truett the Golden Doodle! It was definitely not planned (which if you know Jeffrey and I at all you know this is very out of character for us), however we just felt like it was right and so we did it. Our breeder  (yes Griffine & him our REAL puppy brothers) emailed us while we were in Austin about the pup and within 24 hours Truett was at home with us in Grapevine. We are so thankful we did it because our breeder informed us she is no longer breeding them.  He has completely stolen our hearts and Griffin is a big fan too!

Thankful for Truett,

MJ

Griff met his puppy brother.. For Real

Some of our sweet friends got a golden doodle just like Griffin from our same breeder.. which means Griffin has a puppy brother (for real) that lives just minutes away from him. Teddy is such a sweet pup and we cannot wait for many more play dates.

Thankful for puppy brothers,

MJ

Summer 2013

Wow I honestly cannot believe that summer 2013 has come and gone. If you were to look at the to do list I made in June during my last days at work you would have noticed that it had for me to blog once a week....Well we can all see that did not happen, but what did happen was I fully enjoyed every minute of this summer. I am amazed with all God did in my heart and life the past two months.  It is a summer I will NEVER forget. Instead of typing out all of the things we did, saw and experienced.. I would much rather use pictures..so here we go. Starting with June...

We started the summer out with a Hillsong Concert in Dallas with my fam! Thanks Mom!

Got to hang out with the soon to be Heflin's before wedding festivities got underway

Took a road trip to Lubbock for....

Father's Day to surprise the most amazing father in law there is.. Rich Jones... and boy was he surprised! 

While we were there we took a trip to Amarillo to see Memaw and Pepaw and of course made  a few shopping and food stops

The rest of the month flew by... I went to a Ranger's game with Lauren, got a new bike, did some decorating around the house, and went to one of my best friend from high school's wedding... 

Last, but certainly not least Annie & Nathan got married the last weekend of June

Wow! What a month! That about wraps up June on to July......

We started July with a road trip for the Jones family vacation in Branson, Mo. Such a fun week to spend time with our sweet family..not to mention great way to spend the 4th of July 

We had lots of fun taking Griffin to his first dog park, I did lots of (for me at least) cooking, hung out with sweet friends at Ft. Worth on the green and downtown Grapevine, had our first sleepover with the Heflin's, danced in the rain with Griffin (we had lots of rain this July), and Griffin learned to jump on our bed (such a big month for Griff)

We ended the month of July with a trip to Frontier Ranch in Colorado with Young Life. God moved in the lives of many of our high school friends and in my life as well. It was so awesome to be in the mountains He created and to serve Him. It definitely was the best week of my life and I cannot wait to go back. Excited to see how God uses us this year through YL. 

Oh ya I hiked a 13,000 Ft Mountain.. Thank you Jesus for giving me the strength to do it all! You are ALWAYS good and I am Always Loved (shout out to the amazing bible study I have done with my small group girls this summer)

We got home to some AMAZING news our Best Friends are having a BOY!!!!!! We cannot wait for December to love on that precious boy! We love yall! 

We finished out the summer by decorating my new office (ahh I start my new Job tomorrow) and hanging at the pool and cooking out with The Jeffrey's & Griff (of course)

 So beyond blessed for such a sweet summer. Summer 2013 I am so sad to see you go...  you were VERY good to me.

Thankful for June, July & August, 

MJ
