Good Bye Hadyn!

Hadyn left for the army on 3/28/2010. We had several farewell events that weekend, and it was great to spend time together as a family. We will REALLY miss you Hadyn! ...especially Ashton. He adores his Uncle Hadyn! I told Ashton I was sad because Hadyn was leaving, and he said "It's Ok - Hadyn come back". I sure hope Hadyn is doing well!

Best Buds!

Watching these 2 boys together is so wonderful!

Blue Bell

We visited the Blue Bell factory in Brenham, and it was so much fun! The tour was very interesting, and the generous helping of ice cream at the end was great. Afterwards, we went to a really cool park in Brenham.

Happy New Year!

NEW YEAR'S 2009
(We did go to dinner, but I found no reason to be awake at midnight if Carson wasn't up!)

...AND NEW YEAR'S 2005 (PRE-KIDS)
(my oh my how times have changed!)

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas. I was so thankful to be off of work during the holiday season. We celebrated with my family twice - Once on the 20th before Brian and his family left for El Paso and again on Christmas Eve. Like always, we had several tins of homeade cookies to help us celebrate. The cousins love getting together, and it's always fun to watch them play together.

On Christmas morning, Ashton woke up to find a remote control train from Santa. He is really into trains right now. Every time he plays with his train he says "Thank you Santa".

After celebrating at our house we went to Grandma's house to celebrate Christmas yet again! Ashton really loves hanging out at Grandmas's house. ....especially when Uncle Hadyn is there!

Hi Santa!

We got to visit Santa and go for a carriage ride the weekend before Christmas. The weather was beautiful, and we all had a great time!

It snowed in Houston, but it was WEAK at our house

The flakes barely showed up in the pictures, but at least it snowed. We're hoping to take a trip to SLC with the kiddos next winter so they can see some REAL SNOW.
