4-wheelers from Santa

I got a 4-wheeler for Christmas early and Glenn built a track in the back pasture. So now we can all 3 ride on it together.

Sunday before Christmas

This is "Silent Night" played by the "Silent Monks". I'm the one just right of center behind the big blobs of white tape.

This is our group with 3 missing. We had 5 different shows.....LONG weekend!

This is Sarah....one of the ones missing from the group picture. She and I had to enter from backstage.

We had live "nativity" animals outside the church to pet.

UIL Competition

Jacey and Ty both competed in the University Interscholastic League competition today. Jacey competed in Oral Reading and Ty was in Spelling. They did very well and we all had a lot of fun.

Christmas Party

Me and Jim

My cousin from Iowa came by to visit on his way down to a coaches convention in San Antonio. We had not see each other in 9 years.

Jacey's dream come true

Jacey got to feed a baby calf with a bottle. She loves animals.

Build-a-Bear party

Jacey and her friends had a great time at her Build-a-Bear party on Nov.22

Another birthday picture

You can probably tell what we had for supper from Ty's face - pizza.

Happy Birthday Jacey!!! #9

Jacey had a very fun day on her birthday. She and her dad came to eat lunch with me at school, then he took her to the zoo, the mall, and had her fingernails done.

Fun with balloons!

Ty had fun with Jacey's birthday balloons and static electricity.

Chasing chickens

Ty picked up the wrong paper in class the other day so we dropped it off by the girl's house it belonged to. They were just coming out of the house to chase off a chicken so, of course, Jacey and Ty had to jump out and help. Luckily I had my camera....it was so funny to watch.

Apples to Apples

We were playing this game at Mom's house on a quick visit a few weeks ago.

Last football game - Nov 1, 2008

Ty had his last game Saturday against his best friends team. It ended in a tie which put Ty's team out of the running for the Super Bowl game. They ended in 3rd place. He had a great game and this video shows a long caught pass, an interception and a double reverse play for a TD.

Jacey, Ty, Ben, Emily

Bobbing for apples

Let the trick-or-treating begin!

Sox the Witch

The cat actually went trick-or-treating with us. Jacey made it with her to 2 houses.....I got to carry her the rest of the way.

Iron Man and the Witch

Career Day - Animal rescue worker and Race car driver

Dad's new truck

Dad bought a new truck today after 9 years and 240,000+ miles on his last one. We almost forgot to take a "first day" picture with it. That's why this one is at night. He found the truck last weekend while he was here and came back today in his old truck to trade it in. My favorite thing about it is the remote starter....I love it!

Dental Work complete

Jacey had her last bit of dental work done today. She got nauseated and threw up in the office while I was checking out but was fine after a 3 hour nap. Even ate some meat tonight and not just soup.

Crazy Hair Day

Ty wanted a black mohawk with white sides and Jacey wanted pipe cleaner pony tails that she could twist in all different directions.

October 28 Touchdowns

Ty's team won 13-12

Camo Day

Today was Camo Day. Nice and warm since it was soooo cold out this morning.

Red Ribbon Week

Today was Hawaiian day! It just happened to be the coldest day of the year so far too!

Lorena Fall Festival

Every year the Primary and Elementary have a fund raiser. Each class is in charge of a booth. Ty's class had the lollipop pull and Jacey's class had the Bingo table. It was a lot of fun.

Dental work

Jacey had some dental work done last week and was out for the next 5 hours. She will have the same thing done on the other side on the 29th of October.

Pumpkin patch visit

Jacey and Ty - September 2008

September 27 game

The first play is Ty's extra point, then his touchdown, and the next two are his interceptions. He had a good time and they won 13-6.

Ty's touchdown and extra point

I got a little excited on the extra point when I saw the ball going to Ty and I forgot to follow it with the camera. :)

We had to take pictures for our church directory tonight and I wanted to take some myself when we got home. Everyone was else was hungry and interested in other things so I had to snap quick. This is Jacey and Ty with their cat, Sox.

Hurricane Ike

Ike had made his way down to a tropical storm by the time it came by Waco today and we only got about 1/2 inch of rain. A few wind gusts were fairly strong but nothing more than we have seen before living up here on a hill.
We watched the news until 1am and the dog woke me up around 5:30am so I turned the tv back on. Ty had a football game this morning at 9am and was supposed to be there by 8:30. We thought everything would be cancelled so we didn't really bother getting up and getting ready. Around 8:30 I realized we weren't going to get much rain for a little while and that I might should take him up there and see if they were going to play. I went in there with his clothes to wake him up and dressed him while he was telling me he hated football. We left at 8:40 and he had about 15 minutes to wake up before we would be at the school. I really thought we would get there and they wouldn't start the game because it was starting to rain a little harder. We drove up to the field at 8:55 and they had just started the game. I told him to get out and run over there. He quickley got his flags on and only missed a few plays. He ended up getting an interception, almost another one, grabbed 3 flags and made a block for a touchdown. He was very excited (and wet) after the game. They won 8-0. Of course, thinking there would be no game, I ran out of the house without any cameras.
The rest of the day we have just been watching the storm reports and football while the kids play with the neighbors. We are going out to eat with our Sunday School class tonight.
I hope those in the Houston area and Southwest LA made it through safe.

Ty's first flag football game

Ty was excited to play in his first flag football game. The video shows him jumping off sides for his firt penalty, catching his first pass (even though the other team was right on top of him when he caught it), and having a few passes to him deflected (one he almost caught anyway). They are the Texans. Mom and Dad were very proud!!

Team Party

The softball team has an "Echo Challenge" at the beginning of the year and they come over for dinner before the big day. The kids and I are headed to Great Wolf Lodge in the morning to meet up with Janet and her girls, mom and her husband and his daughter and her family. It is going to be a lot of fun so look for more pictures next week.
