March 2010

This month we have been busy practicing Tball and we had our first game on the 27th. Ava got 2 hits, and was really excited. Anna Kate got to go to another friends birthday party which was a blast. It snowed again on the 20th, the sunday starting spring break, so we got to go out and play in that for a while. The only snow of 3 that we were actually here to see. We got @ 3 inches and it was gone by lunch... it was GREAT. Spring Break, ava didnt want to go to school she told me that "spring break your supposed to do fun things" so we did. We played and painted outside,i let the girls help cook, went to the park several times, went to the library for storytime, went to the movies, and lots of other fun things. She had a blast, now she keeps asking when is it gonna be spring break again. We also experimented with sponge rollers, I had rolled ava's before but it was too short to do anything. This time it curled up really cute, and she loves is. so i had to take a few pictures of her, and anna kate too, i can remember me lacy and loni looking like that every saturday night when we were little.... fun fun fun... Like i said earlier, she had her first GAME the 27th of this month, and now I have Anna Kate asking too, when she can do TBALL and who is her coach, and she also wants to be a ballerina... i can see that next year, we really are gonna be busy. Oh, and we have been working on potty training... and weve been doing really good in pull ups, but this month, we actually did it. Anna Kate is now a big girl... and she is so proud. *( this is more for my memory than everyone else sorry if TMI)

February 2010

This february, we got the chance to take the girls to San Diego, CA. We went the week of the 8-14. We had a blast. We went to the beach (several times), went to the San Diego Zoo, and to Sea World. We also got to go with Brannon to his trade show, and i think the girls liked that just as much as anything else. They got all kinds of goodies, and got to play on all sorts of equipment. I was a great trip, but while we were gone, we did get a record snowfall for dallas, 12 inches... but when we got back, there was still plenty of snow left at the golf course, so Brannon took the girls down there and they made a sled and had a blast. and the last week of the month, Ava had her first T Ball practice. She is on the longhorns and is one of 3 girls. right now she is loving it.... Anna Kate got invited to her first birthday party, also. She had such a good time at Charlottes party, now she keeps asking when her party is gonna be... its gonna be a long time till sept, for her i am afraid. FYI, she HAD to wear a dress to charlottes party, because she told me Charlotte always wears pretty dresses, so i wear one too...

Since i am so behind on the blog, and we took like 500 pictures in San Diego, i am just gonna post a few highlights of the month.

January

This january we were pretty busy. We got invited to a couple of football games, had a few birthday parties, celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and just enjoyed spending time with each other. I have a few pics from the football game but nothing else, so this post wont have any pics.. :)

Santa Came

Santa was really good to the girls this year. We got a whole band set, microphone with stand, guitar, and keyboard, lots of clothes and skechers (our favorite) dress up clothes, a cash register... all sorts of things. And to top it off, when we got back to tx... santa had even left the girls bikes here. It was a great christmas...

Christmas in Alabama

This year for the first time in 4 years, we were at "home" for christmas. We went to mom and daddys for christmas eve eve, then spent the evening of christmas eve, at mamaws (after visiting with bees and dot and learning how to play bridge) which is a memory i will always treasure, then we hit the road to Athens, to spend a few nights with Lacy and Jeb. I can tell you, that this was probably my most favorite christmas eve for MANY reasons, but the main one was being with lacy and loni again, together on christmas eve. We had a BLAST, or i know i did. We left there the day after christmas, went to lonis for lunch and it was delicious.... then we headed to Troy and Kaci's house for a visit with brannons family, and that was fun as always. my girls, loved the older girls and didnt want to leave playing with them. Then we got to visit with our friends will and aubry...and matt and ashley. we had a great time bowling and going to dinner..... its always fun to get the kids together. Then i guess we spent one more day in mccalla before heading back to tx. We had a great time and thanks to everyone who made that happen....

Christmas Eve Services (tuesday)

On the tuesday before christmas, we went to church. The girls were very excited because they got to go to "big church". They were blown away with the music and lights and were really excited that they knew some of the songs. Thank you God for sending your son, the real reason for the season.

Here are a few pics of the girls before we left for church

Christmas in Texas

This year, we did christmas in Texas early. The sunday before christmas, Grammy Papoo Stevie and Leslie came over to our house. We all ate dinner and opened gifts. We had a great time. The girls each got "bitty twins" and strollers so they had to take them for a walk after supper, it was really cute. Brannon and Stephen also got photo albums of ALL of their pictures from birth to present. We had a great time looking at those, thanks grammy. All in all, it was a great day. I dont have many pictures from this day, because i actually got a new camera later that night.. and most of the pictures taken, were on brannons work camera.
