Christmas Better late than Never

Chloe was in Oklahoma with her Dad for Christmas this year. We waited until she got home to open gifts. JohnDavid didn't know the difference. Their big brother Christopher sent them BYU "stuff". Other big hits were the Karaoke machine for Chloe and the bike for JohnDavid.

Oklahoma Fun

Chloe is in Oklahoma visiting her father for Christmas. This is an example of Oklahoma fun...

Uncle John's Ranchito in Laredo, Texas.

Climbing out of the deer stand. Funny thing is, this is more like a viewing station. All the wildlife have become members of the family. Can't really shoot family...or at least your not supposed to.
Hanging out with daddy in the deer stand.

Throwing corn

Tired boy

A little dirt never hurt anybody.

Good Friends.

Christmas Program and "Flying"

Chloe has decided that she wants to try "flying" in cheer leading. I have always comforted myself by saying she is to tall, she will always be a base. She has other ideas, unfortunately.

SNOW in HOUSTON!!!

I know, I know snow happens all the time, no big deal. Except that it doesn't snow in Houston. So if the impossible happens and it does? We get excited...then the city shuts down.

Hockey Time

Happy Thanksgiving

Cousins

Just a little nap.

We had a full house, including Bandit the dog.

A little wrestling never hurt anyone...well not this time.

Brett cooked a Great bird!!

Lots of friends and family

Had to bring in a couple extra tables.

It's That Time of Year Again.

Chloe is on a competitive cheer team again this year. The competition season starts tomorrow. Last night the girls dressed in their uniforms and showed their routines to friends and family. They still need to work on a few things, but they are doing great. There are a couple of 11 year olds, but most of the girls are 8 and under.

Small towns...gotta love em.

We had another Fun Festival in our town. Chloe performed with choir. Jeremy and Christy came with Abigail and Joey. Also Mom is here for a visit from Arizona.

JD and Joey. I have this picture in my head but was expecting to see it in about 14 years.

JD realized that Abi isn't his blood relation, I think.

Can't beleive we let the girls ride on this rickety thing.

While the girls rode, Joey and JD made a jungle gym out of Brett.

Trying to decide which death trap they wanted to ride first.

I guess this is the only shot of Grandma Sheila I got today.

Cute boys!!

Cousins make the best friends!!!

Reminds me of the old days.
