Meet Greta!

Greta, our sweet little black lab, joined our little family on March 13, 2010!! She is so precious and we have been having a blast with her! She loves to go on walks, she knows how to sit, stay, lay down (sometimes) and is so playful! We love her to pieces and have been amazed at how quickly she has been growing. Enjoy the pics!

Little Blessings

So many sweet little blessings have entered the world the past few weeks! Blake and I have been fortunate to have been there for most of them and can't wait to cherish all these little ones!

Griffin Thomas Fitzhugh!

My perfect and adorable nephew was born today!!! He is amazing and probably the cutest baby I have ever seen! Congrats Melissa and Ryan! You will be amazing parents and I cannot wait to spoil this little boy every single day!

JUNIOR!!!

One of my dearest friends, Regan, is about to me a mommy VERY soon! (March 4 at the latest!) So we had a great reason to shower this beautiful mama-to-be and her precious little bambino, Cason Keyes Burdett Jr! He will be one loved little man and we CANNOT wait to meet him!

Celebrity Look Alikes

So there is a trend going around on Facebook right now, that asks everyone to replace their picture with the celebrity that people tell them they most look like. I thought it was kind of fun and decided to post it on here as well. Let me know what you think. It is interesting to say the least.

I actually get 2 look alikes on a regular basis:
Kate Bosworth

and Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Personally, if I really did look like either of these women, I would be very flattered. Not sure if I see it, but that is what others tell me.
And Blake gets the same one almost every day. It is pretty funny how often he is told he looks like a young Brett Favre! (i agree too)

Hello 2010!!

Many apologies in the delay of this post... clearly 2010 started several weeks ago. However, 2010 also brought 3 weeks of icky-ness to me. Seriously, 3 weeks of an upper respiratory infection, 2 rounds of antibiotics, 1 round of steroids, countless nights of coughing and no sleep. I also passed this loveliness to the hubs and we are just now starting to feel normal again! WOW!

We started 2010 off with a BANG at our house for our first NYE cocktail party! Such great friends and family were there to ring in the new decade! 2010 is going to be a FABULOUS year!!!! I CAN.NOT.WAIT to see what is in store for the Holmans this year :)

The Party Favors


Dad and his girls...3 out of 5 of his girls (Mom was probably in the kitchen helping me with something, and Amy couldn't make it to the party)



Yes, those are Riedel champagne glasses... I got a little stressed about them ALL breaking! But how do you stop Peter, especially when he was dressed up like that.

Happy 2010!!!

Christmas 2009- Holman Style

We celebrated Christmas a few times with the Holmans. First, on Dec. 20 in Henrietta with Meme and Gramps and the Yeagers. It is always so nice to spend time in Henrietta...it is quiet, peaceful and always warms my heart. We had wonderful meals, got to spend the night at Aunt Nancy's beautiful home, watched Gramps read the Christmas story to the kiddos, open gifts, listened to carolers and share how we have "built bridges" over the year. Meme and Gramps are such GENEROUS people and really show how important family is in all their actions. We love you! Thank you for having us!

Merry Christmas!

Less than a week later, we headed down to Waco on Christmas Day for the next celebration- that lasted several days! Blake's family from South Carolina were in town and we had a total of 21 people at Mike and Sherrie's for 4 days! It was a full house-but tons of fun! Not to mention 5 kiddos under the age of 5!

Sweet Mason in his new Baylor Bear hat!

Santa even made an appearance!

and Cooper was beside himself!

all the little bits with Santa (Haley-4, Brooke-7 mths, Mason-22 mths, Reese-2, Cooper-3)

Brooke and her beautiful blue eyes!

I love this one of Mason's smile!

ALL the kids are just mesmerized by Uncle Blake - he is SO good with kids! and what started out as a little wrestling...

...ended as a HUGE dog pile! Watching this made me so excited to have kids with Blake (one day) because I know he is going to be such a hands-on, fun, involved dad!

I am pretty sure someone in the family got a pic of the whole bunch, but it wasn't my camera...so as soon as I get it, I will post it, just to show off this crew! Can't wait to see you all again in Destin this summer!
Whew! What a wonderful Christmas with everyone!!! On a side note: Almost everyone at the Holman house was sick by the end of the trip...just a lot going around. Blake and I thought we had a tough enough immune system, UNTIL I got terribly sick on New Year's Eve/Day and have been home sick ever since! Finally on the mend though :)
