Karly's First Trip to Fredericksberg, TX

Karly took her first trip to Fredericksberg, TX yesterday, Saturday, March 19, 2011 with her Mommy, Nonnie, Aunt Jenny, and Aunt T!  Her eyes were so big, looking around at everything.  She loved how windy it was out there.  Every time the wind would blow she would scrunch up her nose and give the cheesiest smile, lol....

We had a blast looking at all the sights and historical monuments!

Karly would not stop looking at the wheel going round and round, lol.  

 We bought accessories for mommy.... 

 .....and for Karly!!!


The stores there are great!  I wish we had gone earlier so we could of had more time to shop.  We went into a shop called the Hill Country Store and it was awesome!!! You would walk into one little room and then it would connect to another room and then another room.  The store went on forever!  It had the cutest stuff, which is where we got the necklace and bow.  The best part is when Karly picked out which bow she wanted.  It was between the bow we got or a little smaller, cheaper bow and of course she picks the more expensive one, hahaha.  That's my little shopping partner!!! 

We ate at Bejas Grill for supper.  The food was great, a little pricey, but great!  We ended the night with some cookies from a local bakery and then headed home.  It was such a great, short, and sweet trip. Karly is such a good travel baby :) Can't wait til our next adventure!

Love, love, love.....

I heard so many women say "There is no one you will ever love more than your own child(ren)!"  And I never knew how right they were until I met my precious baby girl, Karly Marie Hellums!  I know that I love my husband, my parents, my sisters, and all of my family so very much, but it is a different kind of love I have for Karly.  She is the reason why I have been put here on earth and I am so very thankful :)

On October 02, 2010 at 9:58 a.m. our lives changed in a way we could never imagine.  We had the perfect little baby girl with all ten fingers, all ten toes, and looked just like her Daddy!!!.  Our prayers had been answered, she was healthy, happy, and came safely into this world!  It felt like FOREVER when the nurses took Karly away to clean her up and have the pediatrician check her out.  We were told by one of our doctors to let them keep Karly in the nursery for the night so we could get some rest....needless to say that didn't happen, lol.

I can now say that there is no one you will ever love more than your own child(ren)!!!!

The Hellums Family

So, let me tell you a little about the Hellums family!  I am Katie, wife of Aaron and mother of Karly Hellums!!!  Aaron and I have been married for 5 years.  Our anniversary is November 26, 2005!  Five months ago I brought a gift from God into this world.  Thank you Lord for such a wonderful daughter!!!  We live in Red Rock, TX aka the middle of nowhere!  And I love it!  We have 2 dogs, Roxie and Wally.  Roxie is a 4 year old Taco Terrier (Chihuahua/Fox Terrier) and Wally is a 2 year old Rat Terrier.  We also have a RIDICULOUS amount of cats!  Anyone want one?!?!

I love my life and could not imagine it any other way.  We are truly blessed and so very thankful!  Thank you, Lord!!!
