Jasper's Photo Shoot

We went to La La's last weekend. I have to go at least once a month so that my kids get updated photos. This is Jaspers 4 month pictures. It's good to be a LONG!!... connections!

"Quick Trip"

We decided at the last minute to take a "quick" trip to Houston before Donny and I had to go back to work.

First we went to the Aquarium in downtown Houston. Kendra fell in love with the Sea Horses'. I had to take a video so she could watch it later (she wouldn't leave the exhibit until I showed her I got a video of them to watch later).

Then we stayed at a hotel next to the Galleria. Kendra and Jasper had a blast. Kendra jumped on both beds like they were trampolines. Jasper kept wiggling down in between the pillows, like he was hiding.

Finally, the next morning we got up and had a grand breakfast and then headed to the Galleria. The BIG HIT of the day was ice skating! My mom and sister met us there and we all skated and had a great time (of course my mom and Jasper sat out on the sidelines and watched). We had a really good time being together and having lots of food and fun!

2009 Happy New Year! 2009

Jasper was so relaxed! I think he was glad to see 2008 leave... beng born in the midst of a hurricane can be a little traumatic... what am I saying this fat peice of chunk has been living it up!! :)



Now I see a lot of LONG in her :)



Happy New Year, we love you all

SNOW in Southeast Texas!!!

Here are some fun pictures of Kendra playing in the snow! Yes, snow in Southeast Texas. By the time I got the camera it had already melted quite a bit. We began our "snowy adventure" late at night. At midnight we were outside playing with the snow flurries... then my mom called at 2 am and wanted us to take Kendra outside to see "the snow" which we didn't... then at 6:30 am we were up and outside playing in our white yard... the first thing Kendra yelled was "Hooray, I get to play momma!" I didn't dare take Jasper out and risk him getting a cold. Donny went into work late and he and Kendra had a blast.






Kami eat your heart out, our snow has PINE NEEDLES... I wish we could come and play with your New York Snow!!

Twilight Mania

This weekend Donny and Rob worked on Twilight t-shirts for us girls. They came out awesome!








They have become quite the Edward Haters and made one shirt so the world would know!!!



Wade designed this one... pretty funny stuff :)

Decorating the Tree

We have a tradition of putting out all our Christmas decorations beginning Thanksgiving night and the day after. Kendra was so excited to have the Christmas tree put up... then the crowning moment of plugging in the pre-lit tree... 2 strands out of the whole flipping tree came on... great. I was so irritated that I refuse to buy a new one this year and we are just keeping our "ricky" tree! Kendra put all the crystals on the tree and did such a good job :) they are all in one pretty spot. Kendra also wrote her Christmas wish list with Donny (we are going to Macy's to mail it to Santa this week). She was so funny to listen to... all she wants is her aunts, cousins, brother and most importantly a BARBIE CAR.





Saturday morning we got up and went to our church party to have "Breakfast with Santa." This is Kendra when she saw him...



Jasper slept right through it. My "Mr. Man" looked so cute dressed up as a little mini me in his Santa suit.
