Texas Snowfall
The weather here in Texas keeps you on your toes as well as your allergies. This past week we experienced nice weather and so we took advantage of it by going to the park. Two days later, we are so cold that we get rain, sleet and then snow. Wow! Although mom and dad didn't enjoy the cold, we did enjoy watching the boys play in the snow. Zach is fascinated by eating snow and loves to open his mouth up to the sky and let it fall in. Wyatt is content watching the snow fall from the front porch. So different is their personalities. Elyzabeth enjoyed getting out of school early and a delayed start the following day.
The greatest toys are the cheapest!

We have been very fortunate to be able to acquire a new dyson vacuum. While I am loving this new gadget, our boys loved the boxes. Their imaginations sure took off when they realized they each had a box. Kudos to the packaging guys for this hidden genius. After many hours of climbing in and out of the boxes, the boys were worn out and it made the bedtime routine a little easier that night.
New Beginnings
Every year in our church the Young Women's program have an event that welcomes the young ladies that will be moving up into this program. This year Elyzabeth will be a Laurel and was in charge of writing the script for their Personal Progress Presentation. It was titled "The Non-Ugly ducking". She did a really great job with writing it. She looked beautiful in her new dress for the occasion.
Techno Boyz!

We have learned that our boys love electronics just like their Dad! Fortunately, we both have iPod touches that help keep the peace. We are now wondering if we own the iPods or do the boys?

Elyzabeth's Sweet 16th Birthday has been a very special celebration. It has been an amazing 16 years of watching her grow up. We were very fortunate to be able to celebrate this big day with friends and family. Thank you so much to Lisa and Phil for visiting from New York, it truly made it all the more special.
We decided to do a Twilight themed party, since reading the books have been a passion for Elyzabeth. Not to mention some cute guys in the movies. The party all came together with red, white and black balloon, Bella's Bloody punch, Italian dinner and the wonderful birthday cake, that was a recreation from the New Moon movie. Much thanks goes to Aunt Lisa for making the Italian food, and much thanks also goes out to Nicki Huschka for helping me put together the cake. These two helped me put this party together and all went smoothly.
I do believe Elyzabeth had a great time celebrating with everyone and received some wonderful gifts.
Green Eggs

You know you have read to much Dr. Seuss when your kids start asking for Green Eggs. So to keep my cool mom status, that is exactly what I served up. Green eggs for all!
Inspired Snowfall
Sunday, December 6, 2009
This past Friday on Dec. 4th we got about 15 to 20 minutes of snow which Zach was so excited to see. He was disappointed about not being able to make a snowman so we brought the snow to him. We made paper snowflakes and hung them in his room. It was so much fun to see the designs we could come up with and after getting off to a rocky start. We had to jog our memories from kindergarten about how to make them and after a few tries we finally were able to make some cool designs.
Santa Picture
We recently went to visit Santa. Zach has been so excited and couldn't wait to ask Santa for an Air Hockey Table. Wyatt wasn't sure about sitting with Santa. We had a lot of fun on this excursion and the kids excitement was contagious and we all are looking forward to christmas. This year as we start our traditions we are constantly counting our blessings. We have much to be grateful for.
