Couch, Party of THREE!

We are so excited for our little BOY coming in March! It is hard to believe we are more than halfway through this pregnancy. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for how wonderful Kevin is and has been as I've been "out of commission" for the first few months. I'm so excited to have my two boys around the house and we couldn't be more thrilled for what's ahead. (Kevin being especially excited for a football buddy.)


We sent cards to baby Couch's cousins letting them know he is on the way. 

My heart melts every kick, cramp, and glance at this sweet little face. 


Dallas

Last weekend we drove up to Dallas for my cute cousin, Michala's last drill team performance at their playoff football game. We loved seeing her in her sparkle captain hat dance the night away. Despite it being so cold, we had the best time catching up with Rich and being impressed by Mckinney's team who pulled out a win in overtime. We spent the next day exploring Dallas and tiny Itasca where some of Kevin's family is buried. It was really neat to see where some of the Jamison family comes from.
It was a quick trip, but we're looking forward to our next Dallas trip and hoping it lasts a little longer! 


Roundtop Antique Market

Last month we roadtripped with the Su'as over to Roundtop, Texas for the huge antique market. We had the best time with Rachel's sister and cute family picking up some fun pieces for their new home. They had everything from real antiques to handmade crafts and gorgeous custom furniture. I can't wait to go back and buy things to furnish a home. We ate some famous Piehaven pie and loved every second of wandering around the different tents. Until spring, Roundtop!

We all decided we need a scoreboard in our home... One day we will follow through!

Baby Young

Sweet Emily and Tyler made their way back to California a few months ago, but we were able to celebrate baby Young before they left. I am pretty excited about this little baby on the way because he is going to be buddies with baby Couch. Emily and I are due on the same day and I'm looking forward to getting these two boys together in the future. We were so sad to see them go, but excited for their adventures ahead. We miss you Youngs!!

Book Club

I was fortunate enough to to host Book Club and I took full advantage of it being fall-ish in Houston. I got my complex to let me rent out the clubhouse for the evening which made it feel even more home-y. I picked Consider the Blessings by Thomas S. Monson and think I cried reading every story. Such sweet stories/lessons and perfect for FHE's, lessons, talks, and for every home. I am so grateful for our living prophet and his constant example of service. I love these sweet friends of mine and hearing their thoughts on the book. I left full of treats and gratitude.
