American Idol here she comes....

Lucy had her Christmas program at school last night. She sang 5 songs, including a very swinging rendition of Mary had a Baby Boy. Lucy was wonderful, of course. I have add a few pics, but I can't figure out how to get the video off our camera and onto the computer. I have run out of patience for today, so I will try again tomorrow. Anyone know how to upload video from a Sony Handycam????? I am about to do bodily harm to my video camera....

The future Mary Lou Retton...

Lucy had her first field trip for school last week. They went to the Cypress Academy of Gymnastics. Of course, she loved it. They got to dance and jump on the big trampolines. She loved getting to go with all her schools friends. The funniest thing was all the moms watching. There were about 60 kids and 60 moms. Gotta love suburbia...

I forgot my camera, so thanks to Barbara we have some pics and a video... Enjoy!

Sisters are so cool

Grace started crawling last week and can get just about anywhere she wants. She had finally made it into Lucy's playhouse the other day and was so excited. I am looking forward to many years of listening to the two of them giggling together. Lucy tells me every day that Gracie is her best friend. I hope that last forever....

Oh Christmas Tree!

We decorated our tree last week. Lucy was a big help putting on the ornaments and Grace was a big help taking them back off. Every year Daddy puts the star on the tree with the help of Lucy. This year she assisted while Gracie got the big honor. We are all so excited about the holiday season. Lucy has already written a letter to Santa... she even included some requests for Grace. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

A huge prairie dog town!

The girls and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Nebraska. We went with Mom and Dad to surprise Sassy and Justin at their wedding party. Mom and I left with the girls on Thursday and Dad flew to meet us in Scott's Bluff, NE on Friday. It was a huge success. We really surprised Justin and Sara and got to see ALOT of the country. We were in the car for 40+ hours round trip. We saw lots of snow and stayed in a bunch of hotels, two of Lucy's favorite things. It was so much fun, with just a few rough spots... thank God for DVD players.

Gig'em Aggies!

We were lucky enough to get to tagalong on a tour of the brand new Aggie Athletic Complex on Friday. Weldon, our brother-in-law, pulled some former 12th Man strings and set up a tour for Bennett's flag football team while they were in College Station for the State tournament. It was really cool. The facilites are amazing and the kids loved getting to play on Kyle Field. I think Chris was as excited as the kids. He and Lucy took their pictures in front of Stephen McGee and J-Train's lockers. The athlete lounge is awesome. Lucy wanted to play pool all afternoon.

It was Grace's first trip to Aggieland and she definitely got a cool introduction. Now if we could just, BTHO TU!!!! Gig'em!

Happy Halloween

Lucy and Grace had a great halloween. Lucy was a silly witch and Gracie was her little black cat. They both looked so cute. Lucy made a huge haul of candy and Grace fell asleep halfway around the block. Hope everyone else had as great a time as our family!
