Jared and I absolutely loved our previous home. We thought we would never move. We actually had several conversations about that being the house that we would grow old in. We had done a little remodeling... the floors, paint, backyard, lighting fixtures, etc. The only thing we had left to do was remodel our master ...

Dining with the Characters
When we decided to go to Disney, we had a lot of catching up to do with Joelle in terms of exposing her to Disney movies. For the past couple of weeks we've been pretty much doing a Disney marathon. We agreed that everything would make a little more sense if she knew who all the characters were when we saw them. I mean, if you are ...
What Joelle Wore :)
Let's talk about what's important... Joelle's Disney wardrobe. Did I go overboard. Probably so. Some (particularly a man named Jared Lemons) may say I have a shopping problem. I like to think of it more as a hobby than as a problem. And, I love a theme. I love a holiday shirt, a party theme, any reason to buy a new outfit pretty ...
Highlights from Disney!
It's Spring Break here at the Lemons' household and we are all kinds of exhausted! We just spent the last few days at Disney so today we are resting, relaxing, and doing laundry. I sat down to go through the hundreds of pictures that we have from our trip, and I wanted to share a few of the highlights :) I still have lots of ...
Joelle’s First Christmas!
Well, Christmas has come and gone in the Lemons' household. We are currently sitting in a cleaned up house, tree in the attic, toys everywhere, and I am listening to Joelle try to convince Jared to let her sleep on the floor of our bedroom tonight :) "But, it's Christmas, Papa... I'll scratch your feet...what do you want...cuddles?"To ...
Christmas Eve!
It's Christmas Eve and I should be sleeping to get rested for tomorrow, but the excitement is too overwhelming to catch any shut-eye right now! I'm kinda hoping that staring at the computer will help tire my eyes :) I can't believe that it hasn't even been a year since we brought our precious girl home with us. We are just soaking ...
Our Little Angel
Who knew having a preschooler would be so much fun?! Joelle's teacher throws quite the party, and always gives the parents special moments that make the best memories! Joelle's Christmas party was today, and they started with a sweet little performance of the first Christmas. Our little angel just happened to play the angel. ...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh, how a year makes a difference. Can I just throw back to our life only ONE year ago?! Last Thanksgiving we were coming off of my little hospital/brain-bleed scare. It would be just days later that I would find out surgery was needed. I can hardly believe that chapter of our life was just last year. It truly feels ...
The First Halloween
Well, Halloween has come and gone. It most definitely felt like a whirlwind of a week! Our little family loves Doc McStuffins, so we were very excited when Joelle chose that as her costume! It's a cutie patootie Disney Jr. show about a little girl who fixes all of the broken toys. I decided to put her costume together by ...
It’s State Fair Time!
One of the many great things about living in Texas is going to the State Fair in the fall! We are still enjoying several "firsts" with Joelle, and the fair did not disappoint! Of course we ate LOTS of food... who doesn't?! We tried out all of the gadgets that are far too expensive for this family. And, Joelle LOVED feeding the ...
