Sully and his "Guns Up"

I love that whenever I tell Sully I am going to take a picture of him these days he flashes the guns up. It is too cute! I am sure Mike is loving this. :) This pic is from one of Sully and I's lunch dates at school.

More Brooks/Reese Playdates

The world would be a better place if everyone got along as well as these two - - they are so precious together!

Cute Brooks

Scooters from Santa

Bowl Games

Both our teams won, yay! Tech made us nervous until the end, but they pulled it out and it was a runaway victory for my Cowboys. Happy household. Had to take a pic of the screen from the Tech game...when have you last seen a 4th and 49, crazy?

! Mike, Doc, and I watched the TTU game from a Sports Book in Vegas, very fun.

Devine Cousins

The visit was short, but sweet. :)

Vegas w/Mike and Doc

Lawton for Christmas

An expected early departure for Oklahoma due to the blizzard of 2012! Loved being there before our trip to Vegas. Thanks for taking such good care of us and our boys while we were away. We love you Nana, Damps, Aunt Karen, & Uncle Brad. Thanks for making the trip so much fun for the boys.

Doc's Holiday Party

Doc hosted a great family gathering at his house before Christmas. Of course, I got no pictures of Doc with the boys or Uncle Bay, who was in town from Austin. Shame on me. Anyway, a great time was had by all. Always a good time when you gather the Hales together. They are such a wonderful, fun group - - so lucky to be part of their family!

Brooks goes to Holiday Break Cookie Camp

We have a personal chef in our neighborhood who hosts cooking/cookie camps for young kiddos during holiday breaks at school. Brooks was in heaven. Loves his sweets like his Mama! :)

Rock Climbing Birthday Party

Let me just say, BOTH of my boys were fearless and I was so very proud of them. They had never done this before, and both strapped on the safety gear and went for it! I love their willingness to try new things - - it will take them far in life!

Christmas Break

Sully's Christmas Party

My fellow homeroom Moms and I decided on a penguin theme for Sully's kinder Winter Party - - kind of sad that it can't be a Christmas party. Thank goodness for crafty Moms (not me!)...it turned out so cute thanks to our fearless homeroom Mom leader, Mandy. She basically did all the groundwork and gave us each a job - - which I was great with...I was in charge of the craft prep work. Ugh...not my thing! I had to trace out 24 patterns and get out all of the supplies. Kids had a great time.

Brooks' Christmas Party

Santa Key

Love my sister and her thoughtfulness - - she is such a great Mom and every time she does something for her boys, she always thinks of my boys and Mike's kiddos. So, the boys got this in the mail from "Santa's Elves". Love you sis, they loved it!

Christmas Light Looking

We surprised the boys one night during the holidays by pretending to put them to bed and then waking them back up to surprise them with a Friday night trip to look at Christmas lights. Mike made them popcorn and hot chocolate and had it waiting in the car for them. Best part: after all the buildup (I was excited about this for a week!) - - Brooks asks Mike after he got in the car, "Dad, where are we going?" Mike said: "We are going to look at Christmas lights

" to which Brooks replied "BO-RING!!" Haha - - best laid plans...
