Cort in TX!

 This man is one of the greatest I've ever known.
Best brother in the world.
He is always happy, always positive, always full of the Spirit.
He makes you feel wonderful.
And he gives one of the best hugs I've ever had.

We were lucky enough to have him come stay with us for 4 days on a business trip. The boys asked for him ALL DAY every day when he was working, and couldn't wait until he got home in the evening.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed having one on one time with my brother for 3 nights in a row. He has always been someone I look up to in every way. Wonderful example for my family.     

 We went out to dinner to The Mellow Mushroom downtown, Cathy and Chels met us there. Great atmosphere, wonderful company, DELICIOUS food. The Maui Wowi pizza is the BEST.

 Pillow forts and wrestling matches....
The boys loved him and were comfortable with him right away.

 Love my CORT!

Grapevine Mills Mall

with the Garza Gals

{Nov. 14th}

 This was my first time at the Grapevine Mills mall, and I think my life is changed. Just Kidding. But this mall is great. Just like all malls should be. There is every store you would ever need there. It's one level, huge. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, spending the rest of my birthday money {on myself}, did a little Christmas shopping, and especially being with Melis and Brooklyn.

Santa was there, and Melis and Co and Brooklyn rode the little Christmas train. To make the day more low key and stress free, Brend slept pretty much the WHOLE time at the mall.

We packed a lunch and at it on a bench. 

 The kiddos had a blast, exploring and holding hands...A LOT.

So very cute. Cohen must REALLY like sweet little Miss Brooklyn to hold her hand every time she asks him to. I love her!

 Just before we left, Co got to choose one toy to ride, and the manly motorcycle was his choice. :)

   Thank you Garza's for meeting us half way to play, shop, chat, laugh, eat, and be together!
