Stock Show 2009

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Fort Worth Stock Show with Aidan's Grannie and Papa (aka Linda and Bill). Aidan loved seeing all the farm animals, especially the horses, and riding a few rides. She went down the biggest slide I've ever seen and we thought she was going to puke when she got off the thing.


She also won a couple of stuffed animals

First time on the bumper cars

Fun Times with Grannie and Papa

Aidan's 1st Violin Concert

Aidan has been learning to play the violin in school this year. Last night she had her first violin concert at the school and she did such a great job.

It was so much fun to watch and we are so proud of her!

New Haircut...I'm Fierce!

So, I got my haircut today and I love it....I don't care if you don't! Haha. Bo at Le Duke has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now and he has never let me down...he's awesome. These professional pictures were done by one Aidan Gayler...maybe you've heard of her...she's awesome too!

Crrraaazzzy Charlie!

Here's a video of Aidan and Charlie playing their "gotcha game".
This is our Friday night entertainment.

President Barack Obama!!!

"On this day we gather because we have chosen hope over fear"

What an incredible day. I was glued to the t.v. all day yesterday trying to soak in this most historic moment in our nation's history. Since Aidan's school chose not to show the swearing in of President Obama, I went and picked her up and brought her home so she could watch. Tears of happiness and pride ran down my face as I watched the crowd wave their flags and cheer for our new president. I am just filled with so much hope and optimism for the future. Dream big and expect great things for your life!

Congratulations Mr. President!

Straight A's!!!

Well, Aidan brought home her report card yesterday and showed off her STRAIGHT A's!!! We are so very proud of her hard work and focus. Great Job, Baby!!!

A Very Merry Christmas

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We traveled to the V-A to spend Christmas with my family. It was so much fun to spend time with everyone...especially our nephews, Jacob and Andrew. They are so much fun and have the best laughs ever. Aidan had a great time playing with the boys and we miss everyone so much already.
We all had a great time, especially Aidan, who said it was "the best Christmas ever!!" We are so thankful for our family!

Jeremy spotted a camel on the way to the Christmas party....of course we made Kim turn the car around because none of us believed him.
