YES, . I'M STILL HERE!!

2009-01-30T11:39:00.000-08:00

I have been getting a lot of complaints about not updating my blog. Sorry but I have been a little pre-occupied! Christy (my neighbor) got me the Twilight book for Christmas and one book led to another and so FOURTH (if ya know what I mean) and that led to the movie ( 3 times so far) but I am begining to recover , I think (now Christy is another story, ha ha
So, we had a wonderful Christmas. Daniel was able to be here with us so that made it extra special, it just doesn't seem right without all my kids here. He didn't get to stay as long as we would like but at least he was here, he had to head straight to Vegas right after Christmas and was there for 4 weeks!
Here are a few pics from Christmas eve, Celina got this hat and I think everyone had it on at some point!

AND LET THERE BE SNOW !!!

2008-12-11T05:40:00.001-08:00

We couldn't believe it, it actually snowed here last night! and it snowed a lot.All the kids were so excited and it worked out really nice for us because Daisy, Ariel and I just happened to be decorating the tree last night while the snow was falling. Very Christmasy!!

Just look at Rob's truck! And watch, it will probably be 80 degrees on Monday!

Thanksgiving in Tennessee

2008-12-09T13:52:00.000-08:00

Okay, I am finally getting this thing updated. The time just flies by and I don't know where it goes. Anyway, Daisy and I (along with Sherry and Zarah) went to mom and dad's for Thanksgiving this year. I am so glad we did. We had such a great time and were very glad to see everyone who was able to be there also! We were so happy to see Daniel and to get to spend time with mom Vaughn.

There was a lot of Wii playing which everyone loved (thanks for bringing it Daniel!)

and of course the traditional piano lesson from papaw

we went for a long walk near Lisa's house on friday and the kids loved that

2008-12-09T13:41:00.000-08:00

2008-12-09T13:21:00.000-08:00

The kids all had a great time going to Lisa's and learning to make gingerbread houses with her and here are the finished projects, Zarah's is the one in the middle, she said her house got T.P.'d (?)

and I have to say I was pretty proud of mine I made all by myself!

Remember Mom Vaughn's glider?

The kids loved playing in the leaves.

2008-12-09T13:09:00.000-08:00

Some really strange things happened while we were in Tennessee....Kyle learned to fly! Lisa was hanging upside down....

mom got up in a tree (with Steves help)....and...

..STEVE COOKED BREAKFAST FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2008-11-02T10:26:00.001-08:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN II

2008-11-02T10:12:00.001-08:00

PRINCESS DAISY !!

2008-10-04T08:01:00.000-07:00

We were going out to dinner last night and Daisy decided she wanted to wear a dress and do her hair like a princess and here is what we came up with. She actually did look like a little princess! Earlier in the week Daisy discovered a "special" talent......
..turns out Jade posesses that same talent (maybe thier noses are like mom's fingers)??
Dad and Daisy..so cute..
..not so cute of me but I thought I would stick this on here since I am rarely seen. LOL

Hurricane Ike !

2008-09-20T07:07:00.000-07:00

Okay I guess some people are getting tired of the same ole' thing on my blog (Craig) so I guess I will add a little now. We all made it through the hurricane , it has been 7 days now and we still do not have electricity. Thank God we have a generator so we at least have lights and the fridge, and of course the computer. We still have no ac , it has been unusually cool here the past week but I think that is all about to change. Oh well, I am just thankful that all family and friends made it through safely, it could have been a lot worse. So here are some random pics we have taken in the past week...

the pine tree Rob hated...
we are thinking of a totem pole, what do you think?
and then the cleanup starts!

Daisy was the only one in her gymnastics class to show up on Thursday so she got some really good one on one time..I know the picture is blurry but what do you expect , I'm a little shakey from the HURRICANE !!

mom & dads visit

2008-08-07T10:07:00.000-07:00

I am going stir crazy while trying to recover from my surgery so I thought I would add a little to the blog. I am doing well just have to stay home and lay around basically, it was easier when I was anemic and didn't wan't to do anything. I wanted to thank everyone also for your thoughts and prayers for me. Before I went we got to have a visit from mom and dad , they were able to stop by and stay a couple days on thier way home from thier Alaskan cruise! It was a short visit but we were all happy to get to see them. My beautiful mommy!
And of course dad is up to his same ole tricks! Daisy was amazed, her papaw is magic!!
The night before they left mom decided to ride Daisy's new bike.
..I guess the bike wasn't enough, always the daredevil has to try something else! Can't wait until they can come back and stay longer.

2008-07-05T08:50:00.001-07:00

Our celebration started off early with Daisy (along with her girl scout troops) being in a parade in the Woodlands. She marched and handed out candy while blowing her whistle! Later that evening we had our annual block party which kicked off with the kids riding thier bikes , which they had decorated, in a bike parade .
Of course there is always the golf cart!!
... and then.. all the girls decided to take turns climbing up the street sign pole ???
Daisy made it all the way to the top!

2008-06-18T14:12:00.000-07:00

Welcome Home Daniel!

So this is a little after the fact . . . We had a welcome home celebration for Daniel.

It was wonderful to have so many friends and family show up to see Daniel. Of course, when Daisy heard we were having a party, she decided to decorate a poster for the festive occasion!

Our neighbors wife, Christy, made a cake for Daniel. It was awesome!
And there were tons of tasty refreshments, courtesy of Don!

And a great time was had by all!
