See What Having a Good Time Gets You...Jack's Birthday Party Accident


The 3 Muskateers


Jack's 3rd Birthday



Walter's 5th Birthday

The Party was a blast! Unfortunately, Isabel had a tumble on the trampoline and broke her leg. 





Doctor, Doctor....Give me the news?? After lots of red tape, we were referred to a pediatric orthopedic at Driscoll Children's Hospital, Dr. Timperlake.  The break is very minor - it is right below her knee.  The Dr. claimed that if she was older he would just have her use crutches, but since she is young she will need a cast for 3 weeks to stablize the fracture. The 1st day with the cast was a little rough ~she had a hard time. Now she is walking around quite a bit and she crawls alot with Lillie.

Christmas Waves a Magic Wand Over Us ~ A Flurry of Friends


Isabel & Jack



Walter, Isabel, & Jack (Lisa's Boys)


        Good Friends ~ I LOVE this picture! It makes me laugh...


Tangle of Lights

The Learning Tree PreSchool that Isabel attends held a Christmas Program on December 10th.  All of the 2 year old classes performed/sang christmas carols, like "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth" and many others.  I know that all of the teachers worked really hard to get the children to learn the songs...I would catch Isabel singing bits and pieces of christmas songs.  Unfortunately, getting a bunch of 2 yr olds to perform "on demand" in front of lots of people is almost impossible ~ But like the director said "Anything they do tonight will be cute!"  (the pictures are blurry because we sat in the very back)



The entire time Isabel messed with her Santa Hat!


                        Check out the boys behind Isabel & the little girl next to Isabel cried the entire time.

King Ranch Annual Cowboy Breakfast- Taste of Cowboy Life




Checking out the Horses

We enjoyed a hearty cowboy breakfast that was cooked and served outdoors on the King Ranch.  Volunteers served plates of eggs, beans, biscuits 'n' gravy, sausage, tortillas, coffee...and more.  Some of the morning activites included horseshoeing, rawhide braiding, and musical entertainment.  Isabel and her cousins really enjoyed petting the horses!

My Little Turkeys

We had a really great Thanksgiving spent with lots of family. We had the turkey feast at my brother's house and then proceded to Ronald's Aunt Tina's house for dessert. Isabel really enjoyed playing with all her cousins. I am very thankful for all of our family!

Place mats they made

The Learning Tree School that Isabel attends hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for the students and their families. All of the kids were so adorable-dressed as pilgrims and Indians. All of the classes made unique place mats featuring the child. The food was great and the kids were all so cute!
