My Holiday, Kid Friendly Garland.

I took all of Zachary's Thomas the Train engines and put them in the garland. I got this idea from The Nester, a great blog I read. The boys think it's great.

A&M beats Army

Last weekend, A&M played Army. My bro-in-law is a junior at West Point, and he came in for the game. My 2 oldest nephews both go to A&M. So we went up for the game. My 3rd nephew went up with me on Friday night. He stayed with his brother and I stayed with Neil's mom in this little garage apt. It was great. For the game, we sat about 3 rows from the Sun, I mean the top. We were tired and sunburned after the game...but that's OK, b/c A&M won. Whew. Before the game, which honored all the military, Army had 4 blackhawk helicopters flyover. That was so cool. Then they had 4 guys parachute in. They landed dead center field as well. Very very cool. Enjoy the pics.

20 years just flew by...

This past weekend was my 20th high school reunion. How did I graduate with all those old people....Ha! Just kidding. Richmond must have some really good water, b/c I thought most everyone looked great. And there were no really big surprises. Just a lot of really good memories and laughs. The planners did a great job and I was blessed by them doing it and me not. God Bless ya, folks.

Let the Learning Begin

Today Jake started Kindergarten. What a blur the last 6 years have been! From finding out you were on your way, to birth, to your birthdays, to NOW. Wow... You were very excited to go to school today. You already love your teacher, Mrs. Brown. This is going to be a great year.

Trip to Corpus to see Uncle Jack

This past weekend, my sister Amye and I took my dad to see his older brother in Corpus. It was a fabulous precious weekend. We all had a great time. My cousin Barbara hooked us up with some fantastic rooms at the Omni...thanks Barb! We got to meet her girls, Charlotte and Camille. What cuties! And cousin Charles even drove down 6 hours to get to visit as well. Thanks Charles. We got to see the high rise where Uncle Jack lives; it is really nice. And we are so happy that Uncle Jack is doing so well. WE EVEN BOUGHT HIM SOME COOL CROCS!!!!!!!! Enjoy the pictures.
