Night out with the Houston Rockets

We had a night out at the Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs basketball game on January 28 at the Houston Toyota Center. This might be an almost annual thing for us. We last saw the Rockets vs. Spurs game in December 2012. Thomas loves basketball and is a big fan of the San Antonio Spurs. His favorite player is Tim Duncan (#21).

This time around, we were able to go court level during pre-game and I had a media pass which allowed me to take pictures with my camera and 75-300 mm lens which is typically not allowed in the Toyota center. I was able to get some great pictures before and during the game. After the game, Thomas and I had the opportunity to shoot some free throws. We each got to shoot twice. I of course missed both times, but Thomas made one of the shots. Good times and an awesome time out together!

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.
