11 Years Ago Today

We celebrated Elizabeth's 11th Birthday this evening at On The Border.
Our waiter announcing her birthday then they sang to her.
William gave her a bag of rocks. He collected them on his way home from school today.
We told Elizabeth she could have a party with her friends or we would buy her an iPod Touch. She chose a party so we are gearing up for an adventure this Saturday!

Symphony Orchestra

3rd Grade got to go on a field trip today to the Dallas Symphony. It was a great performance but not able to take any pictures. Sarah was excited to get all dressed up this morning. Afterward, we had a picnic lunch. It was difficult going back to school as the weather in Texas is absolutely beautiful!

Pajama Day

They liked wearing their pajamas to school today! They were sitting far apart and I could not see them all in my camera. I asked them to move closer and put their arms around each other for one quick picture. This is what I got.

Community Helper Day

William went to school today as a doctor. The kindergartners had "Community Helper Day" and got to have a parade through the school. I had lunch with him and everyone looked so cute. Of course, I forgot my camera!

Camp Grady Spruce

Elizabeth had a GREAT time this past week at 5th grade camp. They went to YMCA Camp Grady Spruce located west of Fort Worth on Possum Kingdom Lake.


The above picture was taken on Devil's Island. She got to ride on a boat and hike around the island. Trail guides weave folk stories with earth science on this activity. She has lots of fun stories to tell. Her favorite activity was horseback riding. She got to ride by herself on a trail. Her beautiful horse was named, Jasmine.
The students also enjoyed practicing archery.
Canoeing too!

9 Month Portraits




Here We Go Again

William came home from school yesterday with a high fever. Poor little guy. He is upset about missing the Fire Clowns at school today and so worried about not getting to play his soccer game tomorrow. Elizabeth leaves for 5th Grade camp next week. Praying she isn't next!

Sick Baby Girl

Here is what happened this week when you put Catherine down for 2 seconds. She has been running a high fever since Sunday and has been miserable. We went to the doctor and it is a mean, yucky virus. She broke out in a rash and is feeling better today.

AggieLand

We took the kids to the George Bush Library. It is very impressive and worth a trip to College Station!

We were also impressed with the A&M Bonfire Memorial.
Eating dinner at Sbisa!! Brought back a lot of memories for Eric.
The kids had fun swimming at the hotel.

Texas A&M Football

We took the kids to the Texas A&M football game this weekend. It was the largest A&M home opener crowd in history.

Cate Update

Life with an 8 month old is never ending fun! Catherine has become my little "helper." She loves to help me do laundry. I sort the clean clothes and put them in the baskets then she takes everything back out again.
She also likes to "help" in the kitchen by taking everything out of the cabinets, everything as far as she can reach off the refrigerator and would LOVE to get into the dishwasher!
She is great help in the bathrooms too. Never leave the lid up at our house and keep all trashcans out of reach!
If only mommy would let me have the kitty food. She LOVES to try and has managed to dump all the food out twice. Fortunately, she has not found the kitty litter yet!
Catherine showing off her new teeth. Now these were hard work! It looks like the top ones are about to come in so we are ready for more sleepless nights in the near future.

Farewell Party

We had a nice cookout at Coach Steele's house today. Eric's coaching staff had a party in his honor. We all laughed as they reminisced about all the good times over the years. Eric is really going to miss working with these guys!

MAD Camp

The girls did a great job this morning at church performing their summer musical. They spent the past week at MAD Camp (Music, Art and Drama) preparing for this big event.
Above is Elizabeth doing a dance to one of the songs.
We went out for a nice lunch afterward with Nana and Papa Gammon. If you look close you can see Catherine's new tooth.
