Catching up...

Ok, I know it is been a while. Almost two months to be exact. I have a good explanation. I took a new job, Max graduated from MBA school and it has been quite the busy and fast few months around the Jodry household. So, here is to catching up in 2011 and a promise to be better in 2012.

Sic 'Em Bears

We recently took Wells to his first Baylor game! He had a ball - especially with the cheerleaders. My precious friend, Baylie, captured all of these!

Don't miss the shoes!

Little Bruiser is all of the sudden very interested in walking! With help of course...

And of course it is important to note that Baylor did beat Iowa State! Sic 'Em Bears!!!

One of our favorite places on earth!

Every Labor Day we go to Mackinac Island, Michigan with the Jodrys. It is one of our favorite trips we take all year and it is such paradise. Just when you are getting sick of the hot, hot hot Texas summer, we escape to beautiful cool weather and the sound of horse drawn carriages.

This was Wells' first year to go to Mackinac, and he LOVED it! I can't wait to raise him and any other kiddos the Lord may bless us with one day there.

Wells escaped from our room and we found him down the hall trying to escape!

When I was getting ready, I came out to find him playing with all of the hangers in the closet...

And then, I could not find my mascara......

Little hands give himself away...

My father-in-law and one of his buddies happened to dress alike.

The whole Jodry clan together...

Our little family...

This little boy loves pickles and hanging out outside.

We can't wait to go back! What fun memories we always make in this wonderful place! If you all ever get the chance, you should put Mackinac Island on your list of places to go. It is so worth it!

Wonder of the Dallas World Aquarium

I took a day off to spend with Wells for his first birthday. It was declared "Wells day" and we did fun things all day to celebrate him. I will certainly make this a tradition every year. One of the highlights of the day was going to the Dallas World Aquarium, which is where Max and I had our wedding reception. It was so fun to go back to "where it all started" and bring our little one along to experience the wonder of the aquarium.

He was fascinated with all the waterfalls, fish, birds and sea life around him.

And so was this little girl.

Dolly talked to both babies about the different kind of sea life and animals they were seeing.

It was so fun to have the cousins together.

Sitting in the tunnel with all of the fish and sharks swimming above us was the highlight.

And then we got to the flamingos. Neither of the babies knew what to think about them.

If you live in Dallas or are ever in the area, you should put this on your list to go and do! It is amazing!
