Gingerbread Fun

We decorated a gingerbread house the last day of their Christmas break. I think it turned out pretty cute for having 3 very active hands involved.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! We did! We met Teresa & Charlus in Oklahoma City and visited our Grandma there. It was a very special time! It was so nice to be with her and Aunt Karen and Mary Lee. They had snow for the boys to play in, so they loved it! New Years Eve we went and saw the Oklahoma City bombing memorial and museum, which was very touching!


This was a big pile of snow at the end of the street that they loved to have Daddy take them to!


Dyaln and Cayden with their 'snow squares'! The snow was really hard, so they didn't get to build a snowman, but they still had lots of fun in it!

Great Wolf Lodge

After spending a couple of days in OK City, we headed to Grapevine and spent 2 days at The Great Wolf Lodge. It was so much fun for us all! The place is definitely geared to kids with all kinds of activities for them to do! We mostly enjoyed the indoor waterpark!


I thought the hallway was so pretty! So, here are my handsome men on the pretty wall!!


The boys loved being Tarzan getting across this pool!


Dylan riding the water slide in the smaller kids area. After he figured out he could enjoy this, he was ready for the big water slides!


Cayden in the kid area.


I never had my camera ready when they were coming down the slides, but we all enjoyed them! (minus Cayden!)

Happy Birthday, Dylan!!

Happy 6th Birthday, Dylan! I can't believe it's been 6 years ago that we were living in Ft. Worth and had our 2nd baby boy! We love you, Dylan!

Christmas morning

We had a wonderful Christmas at my parent's house this year! Everyone was home! It's always fun for the boys to go to Papa & Nana's house! They brought their guns and bow and arrows and fishing poles and that kept them busy! Of course, they also love hanging around their big cousins Brooke & Blaire- and they are so patient with the boys!

(I thought I was putting these in age order, but it went backwards on me!)

Renita always keeps our boys outfitted in Longhorn gear, so here they are in one of their outfits! :)


Dylan really wanted a guitar for Christmas this year- he's our 'musical' one. He loved it when Papa got his guitar out and showed him! Now he wants a 'real' guitar! ha

Birthday Sleepover

Bryce and Dylan had their birthday sleepover this past weekend. What fun it was with 8 little boys! Actually, they were awesome- very cooperative and polite, yet very fun!!!
The boys wanted a 'bug' party this year, so I made 'Dirt Pudding' in flower pots and had buried gummy worms and lizards on top! If anyone wants a good dirt pudding recipe, I found it! (thanks to my sis, Teresa!)


Bryce- 8 years old


Dylan will be 6 on the 30th.


All of the boys before eating the birthday dessert. I was a little afraid they would be disappointed that there was no cake, but the boys all loved the pudding (and of course the worms & lizards!)


That night, they all were settled into their jammies and Dave and our friend Dave P. talked to them about Noah's ark. Then I read them the book "Are You Grumpy, Santa"? Pretty cute story!
