Ashley turns 7

This was one of the few things she asked for this year. It is a My Little Pony toy. Love the look of joy on her face as she opened it.

This cake was left over from the girls party last week. We froze it and pulled it out today. It tasted even better!

It is hard to believe that this time 7 years ago I was in the hospital having just delivered an almost 10lb baby girl. Here she is now the first grader who can read, write, crack jokes and even do a cartwheel. She has even lost 2 front teeth. We love you, Ashley, Happy Birthday!!!

Our Dallas Getaway Part 2

The Cowboys are off to the playoffs after their win against the Redskins Sunday night. We are thrilled in our house.

Here are a few more shots of our Dallas trip.

Teammate praying for Ware when he got hurt.

When the Cowboys score the "cowboys" came out and paraded around the field! This you don't get to see on TV.

Chris" favorite player Witten #82

Tony Romo....having a much better season!

We got to watch the 3rd quarter in 3D but it was a bust. The picture was blurry and hard to watch. The fams even booed! It was really sad.

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.

If you are ever visiting Dallas a must see visit. It is a great place for kids too!

This shot was taken in honor of Susie, who always loves to jump. It was a lot of fun.

Our Dallas Getaway

After a lifetime of being a true Cowboy fan, I finally got to Dallas to see the Boys play. It was a great weekend away from the stress. Chris and I had an amazing time even with the loss to the Chargers.

Here we are all dressed and ready for the game!

The stadium was unbelievable and the Jumbo tron HUGE!!!

Here are the Chargers coming onto the field...Intruder Alert!

Our Tickets to the game

Good times

The next day we had time to sight see and we decided to walk around the Botanical gardens in Dallas. It was a perfect day and many beautiful photos were taken. I will post them next in Part two of our getaway.

Merry Christmas from Our home to Yours!

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: " The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."

Matthew 1:22-23

Happy Birthday Jesus

My baby girl turned 9!!!!

We had a amazing photo shoot with Angela last weekend, in the cold and almost rainy weather. The rain stayed away long enough for us to have some photo fun at Old Poway Park. I can not show too many because they may be gifts for family members....shhhh!

We arrived home a week ago from a fantastic trip to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. My mom took our family and my brother's family there to celebrate her 60Th birthday. We had a great time hanging out with the family, playing on all the water slides and eating some yummy food. Emilee snorkeled for the first time and we saw some amazing aquatic creatures. The weather was nice and the water was so beautiful. Here are a few pics to show you a glimpse of our awesome vacation. Thanks Mom!!!
