Saturday is a go day.

I have never been so tired as I was this weekend. Saturday we got up got ready ran errands then headed out the door to a few birthday parties.

Ava and I sporting our winter look....Max too.

Then off to Sofia's 4th birthday party at a great Jump house....to fun.

Two of Ava's best buds.

Sofia the birthday girl...4 that is.

Some one's a little warn out I think.


Then we headed over to Amy's 39 and holding Birthday party. It was a surprise party and the guest of honor had no idea....great pulling this off..

Happy Birthday Mrs. Morris!

Chris and Amy.

Where I've been and what's been going on?

First off...my card to my computer that makes the wireless internet work got into the hands of either Max or Ava and is kaput. So, at nights when I use to sit in the family room with everyone I would hang on the computer and blog all my pictures, now I have to come in to our room which doesn't give for much family time.

Also, I've become hooked to Face book and have found so many friends and even family there. So, i've been posting pictures there and not here.

Then maybe I've been a little overwhelmed with Family visits to and from and just the holidays in general.

So, here I am. HELLO all my faithful readers I'll try to do a better job here and at least get the main pictures posted from our doings.

Here we go.

Thanksgiving 2008, Lubbock Texas....Dee Dee and Papa's House

Off to Lubbock we go, loving the dual dvd players

Papa and Matthias hanging in the usual spot.

Jen stopped by for a little visit...

Making their name cards for the kiddie table.

A few of the kitchen help hanging out with the chef....and that would not be Chris or was it?

Getting ready for some football after a fabo lunch.

Trick or Treat at Dee Dee and Papa's!

Halloween Party at the JenErics Place.

I was some type of Mail Lady, Matthias a police officer, Jen a Christmas tree all the rest well you can see here. Thanks Jen for a fun night, great way to start our long weekend in Lubbock!! Got to see some old friends too! Mary, Adrienne it was fun seeing you.Someone bought a smoke machine!!!

The pregnant nun doing a shot Won, won big!

Great seeing Mary and Adrienne! Jen too of course!

Halloween 2008!

This year we drove to Lubbock for the Tech/UT game on Friday which was Halloween, so as soon as we arrived we chowed down some Taco Villa and then hit the Dee Dee and Papa's neighborhood.

Last minute our princess decided to be a pink Care bear, which would have been just fine in 50 degree weather....not in 80. So we hit up 5 or 6 houses then Ava got overheated and was done. Guess we'll try to plan a little better next year.

Max got a little practice in....he did really great with the "Trick or Treat" and the "Thank you."

To my Dad....We Love You

Valentines Day Outings

After Ava's school day was over we headed out for a snack and treat at Blue Goose Mexican Cantina. Our new friends Lezlie, Sadie and Conner joined us!!!

Lezlie and Max

These girls are so cute--they really look a lot alike.

Look at these two cutie pies---Conner and Max!!

Sadie goes to Ava's school too. Ava told us today that she "loves Sadie" and that "she's her best friend"

On to the park---ensuring our babies get a good nights sleep--heehee!

Sadie!!!!

Ava!!!!

They are moving to Austin in about 2 months, I'm soooo jealous---but we'll be there soon!!

TROUBLE-Look at Max's Belly!!

Ps. Max has learned how to point--tonight he was pointing and yelling at me while I got dinner ready, it was pretty funny--monkey see monkey do--uhoh!

Hope this link works--I tried to send it out earlier, but not sure if it worked!
