Pictures by the Lake

We had a great time Thanksgiving Day taking pictures at the lake. The weather was perfect and it was so beautiful out there. The kids had fun playing on the playground till dark...a great way to burn off all that pie!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. He is one of the best men I know. He is faithful, kind, always serving, and does everything to make my mom happy. He works so hard. He loves playing with his grandkids and tells what we always called "corny" jokes, but I love them. The kids all call him "panca" (Ian's first attempt at saying his name) and they all love him so much. Its hard to sum up what an amazing person my dad is and how much I love him.

Happy Birthday, DAD! I Love You!!!

A STAR IS BORN!!!

Ethan was the star of the show in his drama club presentation of Rapunzel. He was Prince Xavier who attempted to rescue Rapunzel from the wicked witch. He was AMAZING! He remembered every line and made everyone laugh. We had such a good time as a family and went out for ice cream (on a school night!) to celebrate!

Unfortunately, my video and pictures aren't very good.

Genevieve and I had a great time on her field trip to the Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch in Pilot Point, TX. We pet kangaroo, horses, and a baby lemur and saw a two-toed sloth and a copibara named Princess (largest rodent in the world). We both choose not to pet the camels--they spit! We saw a zorse (horse and zebra mix) and a zedonk (you guessed it, donkey and zebra). I love field trips!
