Beautiful Weather

The weather has been so pretty here lately. We were able to enjoy an afternoon at the park. The kids had a blast! They loved to swing and slide. It's so much fun to watch them growing and learning new things. I am so thankful that they have each other to play with. Watching them interact with each other is priceless. Summer is definitely going to be fun!!

The Latest Pictures

Here are the latest pics of the kids!
Madison is a bundle of fun! I never know from day to day how she is going to make me laugh. She loves her sunglasses and her stuffed hippo, "Mrs. Hipps". She has such a tender heart and loves her brother a ton! She loves to watch Veggietales, which she refers to as "tales", and has started singing along with the theme-song. So funny!

Jackson is a sweetheart! He's usually quiet and laidback, but he has a rotten side. He likes to work puzzles and play with trucks and balls. He also loves his stuffed puppy, "Mr. Flops". He loves to give hugs and is a big fan of the Backyardigans. You should see that boy dance to music. He even likes to "play" the piano. Such a sweetie!!

A Beginning

So, I thought I would give this blog thing a try. Things are changing so much every day and I thought that this would be a wonderful way to keep family and friends informed. I know that everyone knows a lot about Dave and I but I thought I'd give you a brief run-down of each of us. I (Karomy) was born and raised in Snyder, Texas. Yep...small town girl. I graduated from Snyder High School in 1998 and moved to Abilene to attend Hardin-Simmons University. Dave was born in Chickasha, Oklahoma. His parents are in the ministry, so they moved around quite a bit during his growing up. They landed in Odessa, Texas when Dave was in the 6th grade and he graduated from Permian High School. He went on to attend Hardin-Simmons University. We met at HSU and the rest is history. We married in August of 2000 and we have 2 children. Twins!! Jackson David & Madison Margaret are the loves of our lives and will be 2 in June. We also have a dog, Murphy.

We just recently moved (8 months ago) to Plainview, Texas. Dave is the Minister of Music at First Baptist Church. I am staying at home with Jackson and Madison. I am also a Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics. We love Plainview. It is not the "city scene" that we were used to in Abilene, but the people are very sweet here and our church is wonderful.

Jackson and Madison are changing so much every day. That is the main purpose of this blog...to try and keep everyone up to date on their latest discoveries and adventures.

Hope you enjoy!!!
