A Few of Our Favorite Things.....

Lounging with Charlie on the couch when he gets home from school

Accessorizing (this is NOT daddy's favorite thing!)

standing, standing, standing (she LOVES doing this!)

Kevin Windham - big supercross rider

Growing like a weed (well, that may be pushing it)

Our little bit is now 8 whole pounds! I had to put most all of her preemie clothes up which has made me a bit sad. On a lighter note, I am so happy that I have found a play gym that is still just toys hanging down with no lights or noise. I tried so hard to find one for Christmas with no luck but finally came across one. Does every baby toy really need to have lights, music and vibrate?

Playing Catch-Up

It's been quite some time since I've blogged. Not sure why - maybe because all of the tv shows are back on and new again or maybe because I'm just being lazy. We had a great Christmas. We spent Christmas with the Bain's and then went to San Antonio to see my side of the family.

Lots of pics below...

Santa Clause at the Galleria

Our Santa Baby

The kids before Christmas Eve church

Christmas Eve nativity scene (Camryn is baby Jesus)

Charlie's new dirtbike from Santa

Jackson's new DS (Ask me to tell you why he is on his THIRD DS someday)

This picture makes me giggle because Charlie looks like such a punk :)

The kids with Great Grandma and Grandpa (my grandparents)

Charlie with his namesake - Charlie Dietz (my grandpa)

Lights in Aggieland!

Well, as most of you know we aren't huge Aggie fans but went up to College Station for a beautiful Christmas light show. We went up with our friends the Richters and minus the detour through Midland (ha,ha) to get there - we had a great time!! I highly recommend it and although Jackson may get beat up in the years to come by proclaiming "I hate the Aggies" during our hayride filled with Aggies, it is something we look forward to doing in the years ahead.

What a bunch of goofballs!!

Camryn thoroughly enjoyed the view from her pouch!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

In a very rare and unusual occurance, we got SNOW here! It started right after Charlie got home from school. He was running around like crazy with his tongue out trying to get a taste of it! The snow continued for even Jackson to have some fun in it when he got home from school. What a treat!

Seriously??

Is our baby boy really 5? It can't seem possible but yet I know that time is flying by! Charlie had a camo themed birthday party at a fun place where boys can ....well, just be boys. The owner said it was the "best party ever" because a lot of parents were out there playing along. I think fun was had by all and it was a very easy party for me!


The zip line was a big hit!

Although this hair drives me crazy sometimes, he does look like the ultimate skateboarder!

Finally....his new bike!

It's the Superbowl baby!!

Jackson's flag football team made it to the superbowl. We met up at the school for some tailgating and car decorating. It was FREEZING out but lots of fun. They got to play under the lights and had a great time. In the end, we did not come out victorious but the boys got 2nd in their league - a great accomplishment!
