Christmas Morning 2010

Christmas morning was spent in Humble, TX with Jared's parents this year. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved having some one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa.

This is Calvin's favorite thing in the whole world, a stuffed giraffe, which he calls "dee dee." He loves to chew on his nose and carry him around like a puppy dog. If Calvin doesn't have a car in his hands, then he's got this little giraffe.Calvin found a comfy place to sit and chew on his giraffe.

Katie is showing Calvin how his new Hot Wheels race track works.

Katie is holding a couple zhu zhu pets from her stocking. Her Easy Bake from Santa is behind her on the chair.

Here, Calvin is trying out the new track. He loves to watch the wheels go around and around.

George is very excited to have his very own bb gun to use out at the farm.

Winter Break

During the winter break, we visited Jared's family in Houston. Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to a nearby park. The weather in Texas can be so beautiful in the winter. It's so great to still be able to get outside and play!

A (Very) Late Happy Holidays to Everyone!

George plays at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium!

During the fall, George played flag football through the YMCA. Towards the end of the season, all of the teams organized through our local YMCA were able to play a game in the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. They split the field into 3 "mini" fields and had three games going simultaneously. The place was amazing! Absolutely huge! The kids had a great time.

My newest sewing project!

At our ward's super saturday activity we learned how to make these super easy skirts. I was so proud of myself--I've only ever made bibs and blankets. It was so great to see Katie wearing something I made!

George's Baptism

George was so excited to be baptized. General Conference fell on his birthday so we waited until the next weekend, October 10th (10/10/10). It was so wonderful to have family come for the occasion. Uncle Matt and Grandpa Roger gave talks on Baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Dad baptized and confirmed. George had a wonderful experience and it was a great day for him.

George turns 8!!!!

After receiveing birthday money in the mail, George begged to make a trip to Toys R Us where he bought a very large lego set: the Slave 1. He worked all day and completed it all by himself. He was so proud!
