This is what love looks like

We had so much fun on our trip to Arizona! We love our family SO MUCH!

Movie night at Aunt Jenny's!

How fun was this!!
On Thanksgiving morning, a bunch of us hiked a beautiful mountian. What a wonderful way to start the day:)

All of our kids were troupers! It was about a 3 mile hike one way!

A gorgeous view from the top! After we hiked down, we went to Tommy's For Thanksgiving dinner. This is the first time in years our whole entire family was together. Talk about alot to be thankful for!

It was VERY hard to say goodbye (as usual)! I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family.

To cheer us up, we stopped at the Sandhill in west Texas for some sledding! That is Preston way up there!

It doesn't seem so long ago that we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl...

Preston the Rock Star!!

Preston ran the city of Frisco 5k this morning. His wrestling coach made all the boys participate in it. Little did we know that Preston would completely kick butt!!! He placed 19th out of 800 contestants of all ages!! His coach thinks he could make state in cross country and wants him to run next year (it's too late for this year). It looks like he takes after his uncle Tommy!

Rounding the final corner! Jeff and I couldn't believe it when he came around the corner. He was way ahead of everyone else!

here comes the kick!

Here is the chart that shows rank and time. Yea Preston! We are so proud of you!!

Halloween!

Rachel the beautiful queen:)

Rach, Jeff, NanaMy pre-school class! Aren't they cute:)

These are the girls I teach with. In case you couldn't tell, we were the Wizard of Oz! A lolli-pop kid, Glenda the good witch, the lion and the scarecrow. All the little girls in my class were SO pumped that I was a princess!! Mom- aren't you glad to see the prom dresses you slaved over are still being put to good use?!
