Videos...

Emmerson has known her ABCs for months...it's just so hard to get her to sing them all on video!  AND when I had Carter helping me teach her, he was getting really bored.  So he would insert "poo poo" or "pee pee" into the song at certain times (of course he would - little boys, I swear!)  SO when Emm would sing them, of course she would sing "a, b, c, d, e, f, poo poo" - and I just couldn't bring myself to record / post that one.  Although funny, it's gotten REALLY old, ha!
And this is Carter playing Indoor Soccer...in the Spring, he always thought it was just a race.  No ball needed.  Just run as fast as you can down the field and you win!  Those were his rules...and he was good at his little game :)  So for winter season, we tried to explain to him the necessity of going after the ball - and he has done so much better!  But he wasn't ever aggressive when other people would have it.  So apparently Tim gave him some advice - that he was allowed to push / shove.  Now I'm pretty sure Tim meant when they were all in a mass huddle, going for the ball, that it was okay to use your forearms a little, etc.  HOWEVER, my child did not get that part of the advice...so watch near the end of the video (Carter is # 16) - He just takes out the biggest kid on the other team.  Wow.  It was funny - but I was a little embarrassed.  I called his name - and he yelled "Daddy told me I needed to push!"  Great.  We need to clarify before this weekend's game!

Christmas!

This little beauty...looking for a Christmas tree to cut down!

Little cuties!




Lol...she HATES Santa...






Rocking all of her "babies..."

Before her second surgery on her ears / adenoids...

And after...SO sad...

Had to wait FOREVER on Dr. Mac one day - so he drew out a battle scene for his soldiers!  Such a creative little man...

Christmas Program at school...we didn't get the memo that they were NOT supposed to be in fluorescent yellow, ha!

Best friends...

Seriously...they are holding hands...

Fun with Jackson and Nora! 

Christmas Eve - heading to church.

Spinning cup on the carousel at the Dallas Zoo...He almost cries everytime, then begs to do it again, ha!  I LOVE little boys...

Yes - she played with the football and he pushed the doll around Christmas morning, lol!

The AT AT Walker...it's been the talk of our house for months!  Santa was very generous this year ;)






The three amigos in Houston!


No room to type the story that led up to this picture...I just can't NOT include it...
My New Year's Eve dates!  Pizza, fire, bundled up and snuggling at home (oh yeah and about 5 hours of Breaking Bad after the kids went to sleep, ha!)
