Spring Break 2010
For spring break this year, we went to Santa Fe, NM
for a ski trip! Here are some of the highlights...
As we came into town it had just started snowing. We got about 6 inches through the night!
It was a 15 mile drive straight up to the ski resort and it was beautiful!
That is until we got stuck! They closed the roads for hours because of all the ice.
We waited for about 2 hours- good thing there was lots of snow to play in!
They finally opened the roads and we got some good skiing in!
The ski lift was fun!
Preston picked snowboarding up right away and had a blast
What a gorgeous day
We spent two days skiing and it was a blast! It seems like everyone else had the same great idea for spring break. It was crowded!
On the the last day in NM, we decided to go sledding- real sledding!
It was a hike up the hills but worth it!
Taking a rest

Rachel and daddy go first

What a fun day!
On the way home, we stopped at Cadillac Ranch.
It's a bunch of Cadillacs buried half way in the ground, then spray painted to oblivion!
Kind of random, but Preston really wanted to check it out. He was not disappointed. Rachel was however, and cried the whole time. (It was REALLY windy and cold!)
All in all it was a pretty fun spring break! We all want to go skiing again!

Christmas 09
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas"!
It happened! We had snow on Christmas in Dallas for the first time in 80 years!!
It started coming down in big fluffy flakes on Christmas Eve morning, and snowed all day and late into the night. We were so excited:)
Good morning and Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving in Port Aransas
This year for Thanksgiving we drove to Port Aransas Tx. for a fun long weekend with Nana and Pop pop. They have been a few times and love to spend time in this quiet little beach town. 
The ride down was beautiful!
Rach rode with Nana, Pop pop and Annie almost the whole way down there (7hrs!)
Port Aransas is almost completely surrounded by water so you have to drive your car onto a water taxi to get across. It was super fun!
Rachel and Nana checking things out!
We're here!
Annie loves the ocean and had so much fun chasing the Frisbee
Rachel loves the ocean and had so much fun finding sea shells
Preston loves the ocean and had fun drawing gorgeous pictures of the beach
I love the ocean and had so much fun relaxing and spending time with my family
We can't wait to go back when it is warm!
