Website Updated

Posted on by

It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated the website with any pictures. Looking back the last update was the pictures from Andrew’s spring baseball back in March. I finally sat down and started working through the backlog and uploaded a bunch of new stuff.

  • In February we celebrated Caroline’s 2nd birthday. Since Jen was on bed rest at the time things were a little toned down and in fact the day of the party she started to get sick too.
  • Alex played spring lacrosse this year. He was back with the Frisco team that he played with in the fall and played with a bunch of the same kids. He had a good season and managed to score a bunch of goals.
  • Andrew did spring soccer with the Lizards, the team he has been on for the last couple of years. Like the previous season he was a defensive machine and even played goalie a couple of times.
  • At the end of March Auntie D and Cousin Corey came for a visit. We were sad that Uncle Doug couldn’t make the trip as well but we managed to have a great time anyway. It was lots of fun to see how much Corey had grow since we had seen him last and the cousins had lots of fun playing together.
  • Next up Alex had his birthday party. This year it was a Lego theme and we took all the kids to the new Lego Discovery Land center.
  • We had Andrew’s birthday party next and he too wanted to have a Lego theme. That was two Lego figure cakes to make within a couple of weeks for Jen and as always she did a super job.

Enjoy.

Lacrosse – Halloween Shootout

Posted on by

I’m finally getting around to putting these pictures up but over the Halloween weekend Alex took part in his first lacrosse tournament. They played three games over two days and ended up winning two of their three games. I thought that the played really well and in the first game he scored a goal.

I took a bunch of pictures over the weekend which you can find on the website.

Boosterthon Fun Run

Posted on by

As most of you know, since we hit you up for donations, Alex was doing the “Boosterthon Fun Run” at school this week. It started last week with a kick off assembly at school where they got the kids all excited about collecting donations from friends and family and he brought home his information packet. The idea was that they would collect either a flat amount or a pledge per lap and on the day of the run they could run up to 35 laps within the allotted one hour time limit.

The hook they used to get the kids all excited about collecting donations was that at certain dollar amounts pledged per lap they were rewarded with prizes. Boosterthon branded head bands, wrist bands, water bottles, t-shirts, glow in the dark footballs, you name it. Alex knew that prize chart up and down.

On the day of the run Jen went over to the school and took some pictures and here is a crazy face Alex sporting his head band prize and football. Thanks to everyone who donated.

Florida Vacation Pictures

Posted on by

At the beginning on June we took a family vacation to Watercolor Florida which is located in the pan handle kind of mid way between Destin and Panama City. Kelly was the vacation planner and booked a house that the whole family stayed in. It was a really relaxing vacation with swimming in the gulf, hanging out around the pool, afternoon naps, and other really strenuous vacation activities.

We took a bunch of pictures which you can see here.

And before anyone asks, we managed to make it there just ahead of BP oil spill tar balls washing up on the beach. While we where there they started showing up in Pensacola and by the looks of the Google Map of the oil spill it won’t be long before they start showing up there as well.

Yearly Pictures – Finally Done!

Posted on by

I know it’s just about the end of June now and I’ve finally got around to getting the yearly pictures posted. I got Caroline’s done back in February but just didn’t get around to getting the boys pictures finished even through we took them relatively close to their birthdays.

Here’s Andrew’s Pictures and Alex’s Pictures. And, in case you missed it, here’s Caroline’s Pictures.

Alex’s Birthday Pictures

Posted on by

I’ve received a couple of questions wondering where Alex’s bowling party birthday pictures were and more importantly, where are the pictures of the “fart cake.” That’s right, you read it correctly, fart cake. It’s eight year old humour, you just wouldn’t understand. Don’t worry, I didn’t get it either but Jen was able to incorporate it into the overall bowling theme and it turned out alright. I couldn’t believe that she was actually going to do it but then Jen asked me,

“Do you remember your 8th birthday cake?”

“No…”

“You see, he won’t forget this one.”

It was hard to argue with that. So here you have it, Fart Cake and Bowling Party Birthday Pictures.

Snowball Fight.

Posted on by

On the first day of spring this year we woke up to a couple of inches of snow. Alex took out the ruler and measured it in the backyard and I think it found that it was about five inches deep. It was really good packing snow so we all went outside and had a big snowball fight in the backyard. Well, it didn’t start off as a snowball fight but it quickly turned into one. I took a couple of pictures since it’s not often that we get snow in Texas and it’s even more rare that we get that much snow. Plus it was Caroline’s first time to play in the snow, I couldn’t pass up taking pictures of that.
