Thanksgiving 2013

For Thanksgiving this year we went to our good friends Sheryl and Glen Lyons house in Crosby, TX. We enjoyed our time with our friends and really enjoyed the Thanksgiving feast. Sheryl did an awesome job with the food. Good times with great friends! I'm so grateful for my family and friends.

Thanksgiving this year was also a special day. It was my mom's birthday. She was born on Thanksgiving and her birthday falls on Thanksgiving every so many years. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

So I didn't take many pictures again this Thanksgiving. I forgot to get my camera out until after we enjoyed all the yummy food.

It is a blessing to have three daughters - especially the first photo touched me. What a great pair in that.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
