Pajama Day

Grayson got to wear his pj's to school today and he was so excited. Probably more excited about getting to eat pancakes at lunch...

Grayson's First Day of School

Grayson started school last week and he just so happened to love it. He goes three days a week and has to wear a school uniform. I thought he might not like the uniform part, but it hasn't seemed to bother him yet. I hope the rest of the semester goes as smoothly as it did his first day!

We're Home

We are finally home for awhile, I think! Ever since we moved, I feel like we haven't had a weekend to rest. We just got home from Scottsdale. My family went to the TCU game, and the boys and I went to spend some time with Garrett before he left again. As always, it was wonderful to see him and get to spend time with all of my family. We had a great time. On another note... I am so excited to be home and relax for awhile. Well, as much relaxing as you can do with two little boys.

happy new year

A little more Christmas...

just a few more...

Some of our family went to the ranch the day after Christmas to have a little more family time, hunt, ride four wheelers and finish Christmas off. The best part of it all was Garrett got to come home for Christmas. It feels so good to have him back with us for 10 days. He has to go back to Afghanistan after the first of the year so please continue to keep him in your prayers. We love you Garrett!!!!

Christmas 2009

We had such a busy Christmas, not to mention we spent Christmas morning in a hotel this year. We had a lot of fun and we were so greatful to see all of our family. I think next year, just the four of us will have Christmas together at our house. I never realized how much we do at Christmas, until this year. Once you add a six hour drive and trying to be somewhat organized in a hotel for 4 nights, things seem a little crazy. We were so exhausted after the trip, we are having a hard time catching up! I really can't complain though, Grayson and Gavyn had such a wonderful Christmas! First things first, we squeezed in time Christmas Eve to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks... (Grayson has been waiting a long time to see it!) Second, we went to Pat's on Christmas Eve... Next, we had our Christmas with Santa at the hotel Christmas morning... Then, we went to Grandma Pat and Papa Cleber's... and finally, we had Christmas at Gaylon's the day after Christmas! Whew, that's a lot of Christmas!

Ruidoso 2009

We had a blast in Ruidoso the weekend before Christmas! It was my Dad's 60th Birthday, so we went along for the party. I can't believe he's sixty! Hope you had a great 60th Dad! WE LOVE YOU!!! It was so good to see all of our family there. We don't see y'all often enough, so I'm glad we got to catch up. We took Grayson tubing and he had so much fun. He is so wild and fearless! He went down the baby slope a couple of times and then wanted to go down the big slope with Marc. He loved tubing, playing in the snow and riding the rides. Unfortunately, my camera broke after we were playing in the snow. I wish I had more pictures to share.

Since our last post...

Grayson had his Thanksgiving party at school, which was his last day at Wylie Methodist. We were so sad to leave all of the wonderful women at the mother's day out program. Grayson's teachers took such great care of him. We will miss all of you!!! Marc shot a buck and we celebrated Thanksgiving. Not to mention, we finished all of our packing and moved to our new home. We have been extremely busy getting settled in, but we have made major progress. We will miss all of our family and friends. As this chapter of our lives ends, another chapter begins. I am excited to see what God has in store for us. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!
