Spring Program

Spencer's pre-k program was last night, and what an awesome theme... They sang so many cute, twangy texas songs!

They even did, "She'll be comin' 'round the mountain..." and when Spencer sang, "she'll be driving 6 white horses when she comes. WWOOOOO Back!", he got WAY too into it. Look here, no head! They were OH so cute!!

A pic of Spencer and Rory hugging in a soccer game against each other! LOVE IT!

Edward and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary! 10 down, infinitely more to go! LOVE YOU!

No Training Wheels!

The other day I said, "Hey Spencer, do you want to try to ride without training wheels?" "Ok", he said, not very enthusiastically... but he did great. After about 20 minutes of holding on to his seat, he was taking off all by himself. I'm so proud and he's super proud too!

Speed demon!

There he goes! Here he comes again!

When he looked at this on the computer he said, "Why is my head crooked like that?," HAHA! Edward's head does that too!

Christmas time at School

Spencer had a Christmas Program at his Preschool last week. He was super excited to sing the songs he learned in front of a large crowd. There were easily 200 people there, and he stood loud and proud on center stage singing songs with his class.

Rory had a Christmas party at school today complete with Christmas tree cone decorating (frosting an upside down ice cream cone), Christmas bingo, pizza, cupcakes, and Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers, yes the cartoon from back in the day!

We had lots of fun and now we're all doped up on sugar!!

1st grade pics

(I totally just stole Olivia's idea)... Here's Rory's school picture. Her school does super cute backdrops and poses in the spring pictures, so I wasn't worried about buying these. But the PTA Pres asked me to help the photographers... and as payment I got the largest picture package for free. So, here it is. She's WAY cute!!

Oh, and I didn't even get to help out with her class, she was already done by the time I got up there, but the PTA pres said she made sure Rory looked her best!

You're getting so big, Rory! We're proud of how smart you are!

Rory's 7!!

Rory turned 7 today. Looking back at the last few years I realized how much she's grown. And she even shared a few memories

of herself from so many years ago. Like her favorite "bear blankie" and trying to pull our floor lamp over day after day. I've really got to download some baby pictures, and her 1st grade picture.
Happy Birthday Rory. You're just like your mommy, which is a blessing and a curse!! HAHA

Chosen: Marathon for Adoption

Saturday October 23rd was the day I was most looking forward to and dreading at the same time! 1/2 marathon!!

7:00am- start. finished in 2:16:45. Great morning, but the pain kicked in quick! Mile 8 felt great, by mile 11, I was wiped out!

I want to do a full marathon, but dreams don't always come true. I'll address this topic again in a few months!

pumpkin patching!

We made our annual trip to the Breckenridge Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch today. I've been putting it off praying it will actually be cool one day, but I had to give up that dream. Once the sun comes up, the cool air heats up. Anyway... enough about the weather. We did our favorite things- the hay/wagon ride, pulling the wagon full of pumpkins, posed for pictures, and took home a couple of our favorite pumpkins! Our friends Alison, Alexis, Stetson and Casch came with us this year. The kids love it, so we love it too! This time we even got free donuts and apple cider (chilled, of course!). yummy
