Norman Reunion/Father's Day

Travis is part of a large, very complex to explain, extended family.  His mom's biological mother passed away when Janet was really small from complications related to asthma.  This amazing lady was a Norman, so we spent Father's Day weekend at the Norman Family "Ego Trip" Reunion.  We camped at a beautiful resort owned by the family in the river bottoms of Paradise. 

Our Daddy was all tuckered out after the festivities and enjoyed a long nap on the couch for Father's Day.  

Happy 9 Years to Us!

Trav really outdid himself this year for our anniversary.  First we spent a day at the spa getting facials, massages, manicures, and pedicures.

It was amazing to be pampered and to be able to do it together.  We then headed out for some grub at Texas Roadhouse followed by an evening at the Anniversary Inn for a much needed get away.

I am so in love with this hunk!  

In honor of our 9 Years together...... here are the top 9 Reasons that I Love You, Travis David Allred!
 1. You are a doer.
2. Your smile lights up a room.
3. You are an extrovert.
4. You think ahead.
5. You are a "metrosexual" type guy, all concerned about fashion and not so much about handy work.
6. Your family is your priority.
7.  You sing in the shower.
8.  You love our kids with every essence of the word.
9.  You've learned to say, "I'm sorry".
10. You are a perfect match for me.....truly making me better and using your strengths to better my weaknesses.

Happy Anniversary!  Here's to many, many more.  I love you......today, tomorrow, forever!

Today Trav got to try out his new gun for the first time!  His cousin Paul gave us a crash course on gun safety and then we, along with Paul's wife Ann, went up to the Richmond shooting range.  Fun times!

Las Vegas Trip

After Trav's graduation we took off for some much needed family time together in Las Vegas!  The weather was beautiful, we stayed in our timeshare, played hard, napped, relaxed, and most of all enjoyed each other and a week without distractions.
