Bryce's Western Day

On Friday, Bryce had Western Day at his school. It was a fun filled day with cowboy games and to top it off a western style meal - chili! Bryce actually tried it and liked it! He must be a true Texan!

Thomas

Last weekend we spent the Day Out with Thomas the Train. Grant was in "train" heaven! Even though it rained the entire time he had a great time! It was so fun to see his face when Thomas pulled into the station - priceless!

Bryce, Grant, & Braeden enduring Thomas! The big boys were good sports! Grant and

Arrow of Light

Braeden earned his Arrow of Light as well as the Super Achiever Award for Cub Scouts. It was a nice ceremony where all the boys bridged over to Boy Scouts. We are all so proud of his accomplishment! Way to go Braeden!

Snow Day Fun Again....

There was so much snow that we were able to build a snowman.....He was a baseball one of course! The boys had fun throwing snowballs with the neighbor kids! What fun to be a kid!

Snow Day #2

Today LISD and CFB cancelled school - YEAH! The boys were eager to play outside again. I was sick of all the wet clothes and the snow through out my house, but how often does it snow like this in Texas - 12 inches a record. Jackie called to see if we wanted to go to Creekview HS to go sledding because they had the best hills. So, packed up the boys and headed out for some fun. The boys loved it - they never had been sledding before. Grant was a little dare devil - the sled would go so fast that a few times he ended up in water. By the end we were all soaking wet and had to strip Grant and wrap him up in a blanket. Thank God Jackie was soooo prepared. We had a fun morning!

Snow Day

I had to take a break from posting Christmas to show off the boys on their "Snow Day." LISD closed today, but CFB didn't so I had to let them run around in the snow before I left for work. They had a ball!

Christmas 2009 with My Family

Christmas Day is finally here! I tried to snap a few pictures of the boys as they ran out of our room to see what Santa brought, but I was unsuccessful.....They were too darn fast. Anyway, they didn't get as much as usual just because we spent a lot in DW. They are so spoiled no matter how you look at it....
