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 ...
Could it be Fall?!
From what I just googled, tomorrow marks the first day of fall. Could it be true?! Might we finally be out of the summer months?! Normally, I am a summer girl through and through. I love short, t-shirts, and flip-flops. I'm also quite fond of laying by the pool to work on my tan, BUT this year I've just about had ...
The End.
Well, folks... our little family is home now. We've traveled to Honduras, Utah, Colorado, and Hawaii this summer. As we sit on top of about 5 loads of laundry, luggage to put away, and a neglected house we can now finally reflect on what it was like to be gone over a month (total) this summer! I can't say that it was always easy, ...
Sunsets, Turtles, Villages, and more!
I'm a little behind, so I'm going to squeeze the past couple of days into this post! This is why I blog while on vacation because I have a fear of getting too far behind and not being able to catch-up! So, while Miss Joelle is sleeping right next to me, I will quickly talk about what we've been up to in Maui! On Tuesday night we ate at the ...
Haleakala
Driving up to Haleakala is one of our favorite things to do in Hawaii. This year, we just could NOT wait to show Joelle some more of God's beauty on the top of Haleakala. After about an hour of driving up the mountain, it started to rain and there were tons of cars driving DOWN the mountain, which never happens unless the visibility is ...
