We got to go see the Blue Angels! Jeff loves air shows (of course) so it was really fun to go as a family."Fat Albert" getting ready to take off

Happy Birthday Rachel!

I can't believe my little baby is 8! How can it be?She got to have a birthday "season" as we like to call it in my family:) She started off her season with a little family party.
She got a new desk from mom and dad (pictures were too dark!), and a purple bean bag chair from Nana and Pop Pop!

8 cupcakes because she's 8

Happy Birthday sweet Rachel!

Sparklers!

Rachel is in a cute new group called the Sparklers! (think Girl Scouts) A bunch of mom's from the neighborhood decided to form a little girls club, where we all meet once a month for some fun, service projects and learning. This is our first meeting...getting to know you games...





Trick or treat safety...

and pumpkin decorating...

It's going to be a fun year!

Pumpkin Patch

Here are some highlights of our annual trip to the pumkin patch! Rachel would spend the whole time feeding the animals
We stop long enough to go on the hay ride

Happy fall!

Soccer!

I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but Rachel LOVES soccer! This season her little soccer team went to the big FCDallas game. Kids and parents had a great time!Rachel's team being silly!

Summer 2010 "Sum-Up"

I don't know about you... but our summer flew by! Here are a few things we did:)

We had a lot of "lazy" days....

made some fun projects...
got wisdom teeth out...

adopted a new baby, I mean puppy....

her name is Lucy...

isn't she adorable!

Rach went to a really hard soccer camp and won an award!

Preston went to a really hard wrestling camp, did awesome, hurt his knee, got a staff infection and had to come home early:( That sucked!

(This is all the boys before Preston got hurt!)

Jeff and Heather went on their annual river trip to Gruene Texas with some friends...

We had tons of fun...

and stayed in a gorgeous B&B.

Jeff's whole side of the family met in Destin, Fl. and had an awesome time!

The cousins had fun together... Rach got a cool hair wrap...

The kids got to hold some exotic birds..

play in the ocean...

and just spend time with family!

Rachel is a pro Hula- Hooper!

The rest of us, not so much!

We are all sad summer is over:( ....

But are looking forward to a great year at school!
