Christmas Madrigal

What do you get when you have a beautiful gown and beautiful Christmas music? A very nice evening filled with special moments.
My, how gorgeous is my daughter.(I am a proud momma) Daddy,Derek and Easton had a great time as well.

My cool big brother

Basketball is going well. Braden enjoys playing with the team. Easton even gets in a little playing time during half time! He had to have a new bball and bball shoes. He wants to be just like his big brother.

Pass the Frisbee

Cody and Derek joined an Ultimate Frisbee team for their middle school. They have games every Tues. and Thurs. after school. They have so much fun. I had never seen this game before and I really enjoy watching the games so does Easton. In the picture above Derek is waving to me! Can you see him??

Basketball anyone???

I am so proud of my BOY!! He put forth 120% of everything he had and was told tonight, He earned a spot on the Cal. High Freshman boys B-Ball team!! He is so excited and I couldn't be any prouder of my son. He may be a little smaller than boys his age but very few have the heart he has!! Congratulations to my son Braden!!

What memories...

So I was going through some packed boxes (yes I am still cleaning boxes) I found some film that I had not developed from my days with the dinosaur camera (before my nice digital)So I took it to 1 hr. develop and saw a few pictures that took me down memory lane..

Braden playing on the Faubion middle school basketball team. He is so fun to watch when he plays any sport.
Ashley was the princess of the royal blue court last Christmas 2007. It was McKinney High school Madrigal dinner & show. She was definetly the princess. Grandma Dunford sewed such a beautiful gown.

We are creating a wonderful time in North CA, but Texas is truly where our heart is...Love ya'll out there!!

Cal High Homecoming

Nov. 1 Saturday was California High school (Cal as we say it) Homecoming Dance. Ashley went with her new boyfriend Kyle Higbee. Ashley drove my Yukon for the first time as they went with 5 other kids to dinner and the dance. (Important thing truck made it home safe and sound.) (J.K.:) Ashley said they had a great time!

Our first C.A. Halloween

So this year for Halloween we had a variety of costumes. Including Puss in Boots, Nerd boy, road kill and Zorro. Easton had in his mind for months that he wanted to be Puss in boots (thank-you Shrek). Grandma Dunford fashioned a cape, a belt and we put together a hat and feather, sword, boots,tail and orange dyed sweats turned inside out. He enjoyed his costume so much he hated to take it off. Love the Holiday of dress up and candy.

Cold Night where's the cocoa

While The night was getting colder at the maze we decided to heat up with some hot cocoa. To our disappointment the farm had run out so the next best thing???
Yes you see a huge snow cone and churros. It really was around 55 degrees. We miss Texas! The roasted corn on the cob was nice and warm. Ashley is the perfect Vanna!

Fun picture shots

While at the pumpkin farm corn maze I took some fun pictures

Where do we go now??

So the big man of the house is now officially 41!! For his Birthday, we as a family decided to take an outing to a 32 acre corn maze. It was a great time! We definetly had a work out as we searched around to find our way out! It was a little chilly so We know we are not in Texas anymore. We also took along one of Derek's new friends London.

Can you Hula Hoop??

So David's company had a work party Oct.10. There was a hula hoop contest for the kids. Who knew that Easton is the king of Hula Hooping??
Derek and Cody had their turn as well!!
Wish I still had hips such as theirs!
