Happy Cake Day!

 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures of the Happy Day and the day after, playing with our new sandbox.

Thomas is 3 -- Horray!

Our little boy is Three! He has grown so much during the past year. His vocabulary has expanded, his motor skills are great -- quite the little athlete, which makes Daddy so very proud! He is good to his sister (most of the time) and is so much fun to be around.

Sam's First Steps!

Sam took her first real set of steps on Christmas morning! What a great present. She is getting better at it every day.

Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours

 

May the joy of Christ be in your heart all year long.

Happy Days.......NOT!

 

Sam Playing Dress up with Daddy!

Thanksgiving Weekend -- So Far!

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day -- long and tiring, but truly wonderful. We were lucky to spend the day with the ENTIRE family -- both Tom's and mine! We spent half the day at my parents and the other half with Tom's. Out of our house by Noon on Thursday and home at almost 11 p.m.! Friday it was back over to Mom and Dad's for leftovers -- Mmmmm! Here are a few pictures.

A glimpse of things to come....

 
Samantha talked Aunt Goo into giving her a 'do. What a big girl!

I like my New 'Do

Summer in November!

 
 
It was so pretty this week, so we played outside.

Happy Kids!

A recent photo of Thomas and Sam playing in the playhouse. Actually, it is Sam who is so happy because her big brother is playing with her!

Just before bed

 

Just had a bath, now we are rocking on our chair. Time for bed.

Dancin', dancin', dancin'!

 

Congratulations Michael!

Here's a picture of my nephew Michael wearing the medal he won for placing third in a wrestling tournment he competed in on Saturday -- Way to Go Michael!

Kenny Ray is 21!

 

Here are some pictures of Kenny's Party. There is Thomas, Mason and Ryan playing; Mary and Ryan; Kenny and his Dad; Jheri and Kenny and the awesome Happy Day cake; and Papa and Samantha and Thomas and Ryan playing in the hay! It was a great party for a great guy.

Howdy Folks -- It's State Fair Time

This week we went to the beloved State Fair of Texas. For those of you outside of Texas, these pictures do not do it justice. It is a day of visiting exhibits, including every "As seen on TV" product being demonstrated, to eating all kinds of food that is bad for you -- Fried PB & J & B(bananas!), Fries, Corny Dogs, cotton candy, sausage on a stick, well, you get the picture. There is the car show (George this picture is for you!), and the petting zoo, which was a big hit with both Sam and Thomas. As you can see, a good time was had by all!
