Those Crazy Dimmick’s

I finally figured out how to link this AWESOME video Gavin made for Brooks to surprise him with Universal on his birthday! To give you a little back story… Ellis has been asking to go back to Disney World, but since we’ve already been and we’ve also been listening to the Harry Potter stories, I…

Now that I covered almost the whole month of December, it’s time to dive into Christmas, New Years, and the rest of the Holiday break… Ellis helped with the very last day of the advent puzzle! All done! Isn’t she pretty?!? Christmas Eve candlelight service where we all get to go to “big” church together…

After Thanksgiving in Houston we dove head first straight into ALL things Christmas, so buckle up, this is going to be a LOOOONG one! First up was the Nutcracker with Ellis’ BFF Scarlett! Random silly video of Ellis with two more of her BFF’s Maddy and Grace… Next up was decorating the Christmas tree in…

For our fall pics this year we decided to change up our usual woods and nature scenes for our super adorable downtown McKinney Square! Our downtown area has the sweetest small town feel and they decorate it so cute for the holidays! So many fun little side streets and buildings! I just love McKinney, but…

Had a rare open weekend with no plans, so of course we head straight to the lake any time that happens! Finally got to hike to the dam… Walking sticks are a must for boys anytime you hike! Made it to the dam, which was a little underwhelming, not gonna lie. The cliff views in…

Brooks, Ellis, and Shep all somehow ended up with field trips within less than a week of each other, and I was miraculously picked to chaperone all three of them! First up was Brooks’ field trip to Camp Elks in Pottsboro, TX near Lake Texoma (the lake that borders Texas and Oklahoma). The kid and…

I’m loving these family themed Halloween costumes we’ve done for the past two years! Ellis started it with wanting to be Hermione Granger, and then convinced her brothers to be Ron Weasley and Harry Potter! I helped organized our first annual Halloween gathering for our awesome neighborhood! It was chaos trying to get their by…

Shep and Brooks are now completely obsessed with wrestling (thanks to Hunter and Connor). They record and never miss an episode of WWE Monday Night Raw or Friday Night Smackdown! When we found out WWE was coming to Dallas 5 days before Shep’s birthday, of course we had to buy them tickets. Joe’s brother’s brother…

Repping the ‘Stros in Ranger land during the ALCS. Those elementary kids are ruthless, lol… Ellis wanted to sit in between Daddy’s legs to watch the game, just like old times! Love, love, love getting to sub for the kiddos! Ellis’ diorama she created for her American Indian unit in school… Wearing his lucky Astros…

Our annual “skip school Texas State Fair day” did not disappoint! The weather was perfect, the crowd was minimal, AND it just so happened to be half off on tickets day, unbeknownst to us! First up, we checked out this cool VR car ride at the car show… And this is why Ellis will not…
