Austin Toros Game

Did you know that Austin is the home of the Spurs D-League team The Austin Toros???

Well, we went to a game this past weekend...it was a weird set up but the kids had fun! Jamie & Madison were selected to participate in the half-time competition...they came in 2nd (out of 2 teams:)

Merry Christmas to all!

Our House Ready for Santa!

milk & cookies...yummy!

Madison's doll house from Santa...Santa tricked the kids this year, instead of leaving the presents by the tree he put them in the gameroom...talk about funny! the kids & their new toys:)

P.S. these mini remote controlled INDOOR helicopters have been a hit with the boys...poor Mads has had Austin's tangled in her hair 2 times so far!

Gingerbread House...what a mess!

The kids made Gingerbread Houses this year...what a messy BUT fun project! By the time the kids were done there was frosting and candy EVERYWHERE!

Trail of Lights

Christmas in Lubbock

We celebrated Chritsmas a week early in Lubbock with Mimi, Poppy and Granny Helen!

We all had a BLAST!!!

I am having flashbacks!

Madison started basketball this season...she LOVES it! We bought her a basketball goal that Poppy put up & has practiced just about everyday! When she started about 2 months ago she had no clue which was offense and which was defense...she had never even been to a "real" basketball game.

Well the basketball season came to an end a couple of weeks ago...during her last game of the season she scored her FIRST basket and fouled out...what 7 year old fouls out???MINE:) I was one proud mommy!

Playing Catch Up...Thanksgiving

We have been REALLY BUSY so I am going to platy catch up...AGAIN!

Jamie came home November 21st and it has been wonderful!

Thanksgiving...was awesome with the WHOLE family! We have so much to be thankful for this year!

After our Thanksgiving meal we headed to Dallas for a hockey tourney...Austin's team played AWESOME and won the tourney!!!
