Birthday celebrations

For my birthday, Jonathan took me to Nana at the Anatole for dinner. We had a great time and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We had a window table and had a great view of downtown Dallas.


Jonathan had flowers waiting for me at our table at the restaurant! What a great surprise it was!!!

The night before we went to dinner with my parents because her birthday is the day before mine. We had a great time together at Chamberlin's.

Year 28...I excited to see what the Lord has in store this year!!

Baby Liv

Shooting Range

Jonathan and I are going to get our CHL in February. So I have been practicing for the shooting qualification portion of the course.

Liv Sophia Patterson

I have a new niece! Nat and Josh had their third child, Liv Sophia, on Thursday Jan. 6th. She is so beautiful and had has tons of dark hair! She was a huge surprise since she came 2.5 weeks early and no one knew the gender. Most everyone thought it was going to be a boy, probably because they had a boy name picked out early. But Lily got want she wanted a baby sister and she said "God gave me what I wanted!" Here are some pics of the adorable 7 lbs 3 oz and 18.75 inches little one!

Christmas 2010

We had an absolutely fabulous Christmas this year with both of our families! We are so blessed to live so close to our families seeing them all year long. And being able to be apart of all the activities when the holidays are here.

At the James' on Christmas eve. We all had matching pjs on with our names embroidered.

Luke showed up to the Jeffrey Christmas wearing one of his Christmas gift. He loves Superman!

Well that is all the pictures I have. New Year's resolution for me is to take more pictures with my real camera and not just my iphone! Happy 2011 to all!!!

Grinch

A couple of weeks ago we went to see How The Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas. It was such a fun night with our dear friends, Hillary and Marty. The musical was good but probably would have been better if we had kids to take to see it.

Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

I shot my first wild hog! I know that might sound a little country of me but what can I say....it was a lot of fun. We were on a deer hunt so that was our main goal but we happened to stumble upon 2 wild hogs rooten around in the ground while we were on our way to the deer stand. So I got my rifle ready and shot and down one went. I didn't get a deer on this trip. We saw one buck but he wasn't old enough to shoot. Maybe next time...

Here is a pic of my hog. They sure are ugly beasts.

Here is my best grouping to date with my bow. Jonathan still thinks I am not ready for hunting with my bow but I think this is pretty good!

Beautiful sunrise one morning
