Family Christmas Pictures

My sister took some pictures of us for our Christmas cards this year. The new banner picture is one of them and here is another. Stay tuned for your Christmas cards and if your address has changed this year, please let us know.

Blake and Nana play a duet

Renee's birthday

Sydney got to go horse back riding for her cousin's birthday. She really loved it and wants to go again for her birthday. Thanks for getting pictures Tiff.

House Divided

Blake is a really big football fan, and I mean HUGE. His favorite team is the Cowboys, but he has a lot of loyalty towards his dad's team, the Packers. A few weeks ago the two teams meet up and Blake decorated the house for the occasion.

Your Nieghborhood Turkey Trot

10K runners after the race

Last year, we went to Fort Worth for their Turkey Trot, we had a great time running, but it was really crowded and it took up a big part of our day. Tiffany and I decided to host a local Turkey Trot and it was a big success. We had 11 runners in the 10K and about three dozen for the 1 mile fun run. We posted over 60 signs to mark the coarse, got medals, made turkey awards for the kids, and got lots of good food and waters. I was really happy with how the race went. We had really cold and windy weather, but at least we stayed dry.

The best of Wisconsin comes to Texas!

Our good friends, Jake and Jen, came down from Wisconsin to visit us last month. We had such a great time with them. Our kids just adore both of them, and Jake was a great sport and watched all the kids while the girls went shopping for a bit. Hopefully we will be making a trip up to Wisconsin for a big event in their lives....

Dodgers

Blake played for the Dodgers this year playing coach pitch baseball. He had a great season and even hit a few triples and doubles. He really enjoys playing second base and it getting good at being the catcher.

Trey's First Trophy

Trey got his first trophy for playing blast ball this fall. His team was the Giants, which was fun for him since they won the World Series this year. He wants to play again in the spring, so we will have more blast ball updates then.

Pumpkin Patch

I just got these pictures from my sister and thought I would post them..even though they are from last month. The kids always beg to go to the pumpkin patch. We always have a great time and get a lot of great pictures!

Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Carving

In Texas, it is too hot in October to carve your pumpkins very early in the month. We always wait until the week of Halloween, but this year, we kept having scheduling conflicts, so it didn't happen for us until the day before Halloween. The kids were going crazy asking us when we were going to carve pumpkins. I will have to try harder to schedule them in next year.

Tiffany, always with her camera

Notice my double sunglasses, I forgot that I already put a pair on my hat, so I added another set.

The challenge of trying to get all three kids to look at the camera at the same time

Our race was six hours away, so we made a little family trip out of it and went camping in the canyon. We did a lot of hiking and got really dirty with all of that red dirt.
