Happy Valentines Day!

I attempted homemade fortune cookies this year for valentines. It was fun to hide a secret fortune in the cookies and see the expression on the kid's and Matt's face when they opened them.

Pinewood Derby

It's that time of year again...pinewood derby.

Garrett got the award for "most original". He decorated his car like a rattlesnake.


Christopher won for "best school spirit". He decorated his like Ohio State Rose Bowl Champions.
Our cars weren't the fastest but at least the wheels stayed on this time!

December Birthdays

Matt's birthday is December 5th and he likes to remind us any chance he gets so we made him a video that he could play over and over. Happy Birthday, Matt. We love and appreciate all you do for us!!!

December 3rd is my friend Megan's birthday. Megan and I have been friends since elementary school. Most my childhood memories include Megan (and Kim...see below). We did everything together and I am glad I have her as a friend. Happy Birthday, Megan!

December 4th is Melanie's birthday. Melanie is an amazing mother and has raised the most thoughtful children. I am not kidding. All of her kids are so very respectful to other kids and adults. Have a great day, Melanie!

Happy Birthday, Jackie on Dec 16th. Jackie, have a fabulous day! I am sure you will be celebrating all day!! I don't get to see Jackie very often but it's always great fun when I do. By the way, Jackie has the most amazing singing voice!!

December 30th is Kim's birthday. Aren't these the cutest bunch of girls you have ever seen? Kim makes the perfect mom for 4 girls. Hope it's a special day!

Fall Ball is Over!

This season Madelyn made some new friends off the baseball field. It made going to all the practices/games that much more fun for both of us.

Christopher pitched a great season for the Astros.

Christopher's team (The Astros) came in 3rd place for 9/10AAA.

Garrett played 1st base this season and got many outs in that position.

Garrett's team (The Texas Rangers) won the world series and came in 1st place for the 7/8AAA.

Garrett and Coach Brandon. Garrett has had this coach 3 times now and we are thankful for all the time and effort he spends on these boys.

Until next season...
