mommy / daughter

i came across this in our i photo, and thought it was such a sweet (all too rare) mommy and daughter time when we were just swinging and holding hands-papa snapped this before we saw him! i love my little girl and pray that as she grows, so will the strength of our relationship! she is starting to hit the terrible 2's and man 'o man -she is just like her mama!:) any advice out there? i have been through it once, but i have a harder time spanking a girl on the hand to teach 'no touch!' i am trying to start disciplining earlier than with carson-i think he was too set in his ways before we realized-uh oh! we are in trouble! p.s. shepherding a child's heart is a great read by tedd tripp!

holidays

I am a little late putting out pics, but here are a few none the less...

The kids and I made Christmas cookies in our santa chef suits, and then delivered them via gator ride through the neighborhood. We decided that this is our first annual tradition. We strapped Kindle in and delivered the goods all the while enjoying the neighborhood lights!!!













Before Christmas Kit and I took Carson to Sea World in San Antonio and stayed on the Riverwalk and went to the Rainforest Cafe'. We had a great time with just Carson! Kindle stayed at grandma's and papa's. She also had a great time!

We saw a cool 3d show about pirates!


Carson was so proud that he was tall enough to ride this ride-and yes, we were the only ones who were willing to freeze (it was a water ride in December!)


Cool show! really...it was cold outside after the water ride


Those Budweiser horses are huge!


Croc- alligator- I can never remember, but awesome to pet-We will visit Sea World lots in '08!

dedication day

This is the day that we dedicated our children (actually ourselves) to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord ...It was more for us as parents than for the kids-stay strong. We love our church...

can't help but love my little girl!!!


I thank the Lord for my children everyday!

catch up!

wow-we have been sick the last 2 months! from umbilical hernia to stomach flu to pink eye to double ear infections to fevers-yikes I have been out of it! here is a quick preview starting with Thanksgiving at home by ourselves due to the stomach bug! first I will start with 10 of the 100 list I never did from Denee's tag:

1. I don't feel like I am 28 (only when my knees hurt, then I do)
2. I love to travel, and want to go to Tahiti
3. snowboarding over skiing
4. my favorite season of the year is when the season starts to change (like the first cold front or the first sunny day of spring)
5. my favorite smell is fresh cut grass and sun tan lotion
6. favorite color is yellow
7. I can never get the last corner of the sheets on the bed
8. pet peeve is when I don't get a wave after you let someone in front of you in traffic
9. I craved icing on cakes and cookies during pregnancy
10. I love friday night movie dates (all to few though)


here are a few catch-up pics:

trying to make the best of being sick
me and the kids over Thanksgiving-the only one by ourselves!

gettin' in the holiday spirit!
