A new phase

Jessi is totally enthralled with the movie Hairspray. She wants everything Tracy Turnblad.
So we now have bangs and several plaid skirts, but I must make more since it is very hard to find them in her size. She can sing all the words and imitate all the dance moves..including spanking her bottom. It is so amazing to see how much she has changed since her obsession with the Wiggles.

Saving a Squirrel

When the hurricane hit South Texas there was a lot of damages to the trees north of Houston. My sister found a newborn squirrel. She has cared for this little guy 24-7. Here are some cute pictures.
Under the pink towel is a person.

Graduation Party

We had a small graduation party. My sister made this incredible cake the whole thing was eatable. It was hard cutting into the cake. My coworker Tess made a coffee flavored cake that was to die for. It was a really fun gathering.

GRADUATION.....IT'S OVER

AFTER 3 LONG YEARS IT IS FINALLY OVER. It was a stressful trip over to the graduation, but it was so great to see all my classmates and to know we finally finished the tough task at hand.
I could not have done any of it without Mike, he was my rock and the sole parent of our two kids.
He deserves all the credit.....he got a cool car.

Thanksgiving Day

Everyone had to help with the cooking. So the kids picked a dish and jumped in whole
heart. The kids also made the table clothe and place mats. Jessi was very much into the hand shaped turkeys. It was fun having all the kids around, even though I had tons of school work to do. It was a Great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving photo shoot

Thanksgiving

Ryan and Kyran came for Thanksgiving Holidays. They are growing into such fine men.
They are so fun. They are getting used to me having a camera in their face.

The first family campout

This was the first campout for our pack.
We had so much fun, there was hiking, biking, fishing and lots of great food.
The den leaders take their cooking seriously.
This was Jessi first camping trip ever, she loves FIRE. She takes after her MOM.

Halloween 2008

Jessi wanted to be a ghost princess and Alex a scary black thing. I saw the whoopee cushion and had to have it. Alex was a little embarrassed that I was dressed up. His friends thought it was cool. We had lots of fun.

Earning our first badge

Alex's first merit badge was the Handyman. He took care of lots of small
thing that I had been putting off. I like this scouting thing.

Jessi's 5th adoption day-Sept. 1

It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years already.
What a delight she is. She wanted corn dogs for dinner.
She likes the scooter, but still learning how to ride it.

The PEP Rally- Aug 2008

Jessi had so much fun at the annual Pep rally for the Youth Football. We had no idea that she was going to do a two song
dance solo in front of the whole town.



Jessi is now a little rock star in Krum. Alex got to bring in the colors as well.
My kids are becoming very active in our town, which is why I wanted to live in a small town.

Alex is a Webelo- Aug 2008

Alex looks so handsome in his uniform.

I had only one free day and it worked out perfectly for Alex to join the cub scouts.
Well I don't know exactly how I got suckered in to a leadership role, but I did.
We all love the scouts. This is a fun time for just Alex and me.

Finally Finished the Watergarden

This started as my birthday gift, but we could not get the top part of the waterfall right.
So we finally tore everything down and started over.
Now all that is left is the landscaping. I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you Honey.
