Michael's new car

With the end of Michael's deployment nearing, it was time to get him a new car. We ordered his car at the end of March and I was able to pick it up yesterday. Here are the pictures:

I only stalled it twice on the way home and didn't get a speeding ticket! Now we're ready for Michael to come home so he can drive it!

This picture is perfect!

This picture shows the kids personalities just how they are right now. Austin's cheesy grin and Abigail showing off her sassy little attitude. I love it!

The First Tee

Austin has been going to a golf class every Tuesday night for the past few weeks. He's loving it and learning so much more than the game of golf. Check out The First Tee's website if you get a chance: The First Tee.

Now for your viewing pleasure (because I'm sure that's what you come here for!)

I'm sure his Daddy and both Grandpa's are grinning ear to ear looking at these pictures!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to the coolest Daddy in the world! We can't wait to see you in a couple months!!!

Love, Austin & Abigail

(And Mommy too!)

Bag mania

More sewing projects!

A lunch bag!

My newest sewing project

My Grandma and I have been busy bees with my sewing machine. I made this baby blanket for a girl at work who is due to have a baby in May.

We've been busy!

Grandma Great arrived last night and we've already been busy today! We went to ballet, had donuts for breakfast, gone grocery shopping and finished two sewing projects!

First was a dress for Abigail.

Who wants to go for a choo choo ride? Apparently Lexi doesn't!

I added a little spice to one of Austin's t-shirts too! He wouldn't give me the time of day to take his picture.

From Junauary-March 2010

Hopefully we'll have more pictures and projects to show off while Grandma Great is here! We've got a lot to catch up on anyways for my lack of blogging!

Have no fear...

My new computer is here!! Updates coming soon!

Santa 2009

Abigail said she was going to sit on Santa's lap all day before we actually went to see the big guy. It wasn't the same story when we actually got there, as evident in the picture above!

Kindergarten school picture

Austin's school picture turned out better this year!

Knock, knock

Anybody out there reading still?

Labor Day

The kids and I decided to get out of the house on Labor Day. We headed to Cameron Park Zoo in Waco with some friends and enjoyed a hot sunny day at the zoo.

It actually turned out to be a family affair, as Abigail couldn't leave her Daddy behind.



I guess Austin needed a little closer view of the turtles!



Luckily they had some indoor exhibits so we could cool off.



Austin crawled into a little cave to get a closer look at the alligators.











We saw coyote's just like the ones I saw in the backyard!



And cheetah's up close and personal







Look at that snake!



I could barely get them to pose for a picture all day. Until now...















We had a great day at the zoo! I even came out of the gift shop without spending more than $5.00. I wonder how Daddy enjoyed his day at the zoo??? :)
