Happy Birthday PeePaw!

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating our birthdays together and eating MeMaw's yummy chocolate cake with sugar candy on it! I sure do miss those days and miss you.

The Top Ten Things I miss the most about you are:

1. You coming to pick me up from school when I was sick (well sometimes sick other times I just wanted you to come pick me up and take me to McDonalds).

2. Playing Cards with you.

3. Eating your delicious hamburgers.

4. Staying up late at night and you popping me popcorn.

5. You taking Amber and I to Long John Silver's and Baskin and Robbins on Sunday afternoons.

6. Letting us drive your car.

7. Kissing your sweet smelling cheeks.

8. Playing with your wedding ring on your finger.

9. Listening to you tell those long stories.

10. Rubbing your bald lil' head.

I love you bunches and wish you were still here to celebrate!

Star Wars TIE Fighter

Lane has been studying the letter "H" at school the past couple of weeks and one of his projects was to make something out of a Hat! So, Lane being the boy he is wanted to do something with the Star Wars theme. Since Daddy was into Star Wars when he was little, (actually he still is), he was able to come up with the idea of doing Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. So off to Michaels we went to gather items to try and make this project a hit! We all worked for several hours and I think it turned out pretty good!

Here is the TIE Fighter we were trying to make.

Here is Lane's TIE Fighter!

Here is the top and back view.

Here is Darth Vader inside.

Mom made me put it on for a picture!

Lane was anxious to get to school to see what all of his friends would think of his creation. As we walked into his classroom all of the kids said "Wow Lane, that's awesome". He turned around and smiled at me and then said "yeah I know I worked really hard on this project." It was so funny because he was so proud. Of course I walked out with a big smile on my face too!!

Lane's Big Breakfast

This morning before I got out of bed Lane came and got in bed with me and told me that he had made breakfast for him and Bella. I thought to myself, "oh my goodness, I hope the kitchen is not a wreck." Then I went back to being a Mom and said "wow Lane that was so nice of you." He then grabbed my phone and took off. He came back to bed and said, "see Mom, I took a picture of it for you." He had taken two paper whale bowls and put a cup of oranges in one for him and a cup of applesauce in another for Bella. Then he strategically laid a napkin by each one along with a spoon for Bella and a fork for him. He was so sweet!!

Let's dig in!

MMM this is pretty yummy!

Mommy would you like to wear your hat today?

Good, because I wanted to wear it. Check out my sideview, Do I look okay?

Oh I'm so excited I look so cool and trendy! Let's go shopping!

Still Alive - Back in Action!!

Yes, I know, I know it has been a long time... but we are all still alive and things are starting to level out. For those of you you don't know by now, we sold our house back in August after being on the market for only 3 weeks!! This was a huge blessing but on the other hand we were not prepared to move out that fast. We have since moved in with Connie and John (Scott's parents) and have lived with them since August 4th. We are in the process of building a home in Graystone Hills off of Longmire in Conroe. It has been so stressful picking everything out for the house but as of yesterday that is all over. We are finally done and should see things start to pick up very quickly. So blogging has been on the back burner. I will try to catch up with pictures throughout the next couple of weeks.

So to start off we just returned from a ski trip to Winter Park, Colorado with our friends Travis and Kay. We had a wonderful snow filled trip as you will see!

One of the days we decided to go tubing on a mountain. It was so much fun, except for when Travis took off with all four of us connected and my feet weren't all the way out of the tube yet!!

This is Twabis drivin' the mini! Safety First!!! Scott and Travis loved this souped up Chrysler Minivan. They pushed every button know to man in the mini and bragged about how awesome it was. Kay and I were sure that by the end of the trip one of us was going to end up with a new minivan in our driveway. Luckily for us that hasn't happened yet.


Kay and I made it to the bottom of the mountain by skiing Village Way all the way to the bottom. Did I mention that Twabis took us (he says he was an accident) down a blue. Yeah not so much fun, I have a bruise to prove it.

Scott and I all done at the bottom of the mountain.




We stayed in a Condo and this was the view from our bedroom window when we woke up every morning. It was absolutely beautiful.

This was our last day in Winter Park and instead of skiing Kay and I froze our tail feathers off when we decided to ride the gondola and go shopping!

Our last day there we all went to the spa (for the second time) and Scott and I had our first facials. We loved it! We also decided to drive on into Denver for the night because the weather was starting to get bad and we didn't want to get stuck on the mountain. We stopped along the way and ate at our favorite restaurant, The ChartHouse.
