Burton's 2nd Birthday

This little guy is two years old. How does the time fly by so quickly. 

Burton loves:

Food: milk, grapes, fruit snacks, tomatoes, peanut butter, broccoli, and pizza.

Playing any sport: basketball, soccer, football, and baseball...to name a few.

Loves playing with trucks that have a trailer to attach to them.

Going to the ranch and checking the cows and horses.

Copying anything and everything that Daddy or Papa does.

Being cuddled.

Playing outside.

He does not like:

Sleep.

Eating meat (except for on the rare occassion).

When daddy leaves for work.

.....I'm sure there are more things, but I can't think of them right now.

Petting Mr. Moose. He loves to pet him and say hi to him first thing in the morning and as soon as we arrive home.

He loves to be cuddled and rocked to sleep.

Rocking and reading bedtime stories with daddy.

The cupcakes Ady helped make.

Burton thought that having "campfire on my cake" was the best thing ever! He asked for more campfire on his cake several times for the next few days after his party.

We are so thankful for friends and family that helped us celebrate this special guy!

And this video was a couple of days before Burton's birthday while we were in OKC with Nate and Terah. We had a little celebration with cake and "campfire" for him!

Biscuits and Gravy to Babies

We had a great time out the ranch with Papa and Mamanita last week. Mama and Adalynn made biscuits and gravy for dinner for us. Delicious!! We are loving living in town, but we for sure miss our time with Papa and Mama as well!

 Aunt Coco is always so sweet to saddle Buddy for the little kids to ride. Adalynn has been very nervous in the past and hasn't wanted to ride. But this time she chose to ride even though she was a little afraid. She's growing up too fast!

AND. Last, but not least. We are expecting baby Cornett #3 to arrive in September!

12 Weeks along.

Matthew's Here

We are so thankful that Matthew arrived safely! He drove about 4000 miles in 5 days with a friend, Shane. It took them 98 hours of actual driving time! Adalynn and I are so thankful to have him here. He will be here for 90 days of FMLA (Family Medical Leave of Absence) for Burton's arrival. We continue to wait on the FAA job transfer. We continue to pray that God will provide that job here in Texas for him. We know that God has lead us to make the decisions we have made up to this point and now we continue to wait for God. At times I become impatient and want Matthew to have a job NOW. But I have to be reminded that it is God's perfect timing, not ours. And we have to trust that God will continue to lead and guide our decisions....even if the job transfer does not come.  If Matthew has still not received a job transfer by June 10 (when his FMLA is up), then he will fly back to Alaska, give his boss his two weeks notice, drive my Expedition to Texas....and then we will decide from there what to do about work for Matt.We are praying that God will guide our decisions and give us peace in this time of waiting.

We have loved getting to spend time at the Flying T Ranch with my family!

Adalynn loves wearing her daddy's hat :)

Adalynn follows her daddy everywhere right now!

Zoo With Kathleen and Mitchell

 Adalynn and I got to see and hang out with these two on Thursday! Kathleen was one of my college roommates and great friends throughout college. Her son Mitchell and Adalynn are just 10 days apart. We had so much fun catching up with them last week and look forward to getting to hang out with them more now that we live back in Texas!

Burton's Maternity Shoot

 Thank you Cori Layne Photography (and Gini) for taking out maternity pictures for us. My sister's are so talented!
