He is almost finished! I think it looks great. I still can't believe he just Googled "swing set blueprints" and did this all on his own... Macie is super excited!
And Macie insisted that I take a picture of the "butterfly" on her slide and put it on the computer. So here ya go. Enjoy :)

First signs of SPRING!!
Macie loves this puzzle - She can put it together by herself! 
Steve is building Macie a swing set! We already had one in the backyard, it came with the house... but it was several years old and in need of some repair. So what started as repair work turned into building a whole new swing set! He is doing such a great job, I am so proud... and very impressed with his work!
Favorite Color: Pink
We have a Wii!!! (Thanks MC!) It is super fun and we have been playing it A LOT! I wish I had some pics of everybody playing rockband... so funny! The Day's came over last night (after spending over 2 hours at the new Texas Roadhouse in Flower Mound... not fun, but the kids did REALLY well considering....) and we played a game called Raving Rabbids TV Party. Very fun game! Macie, Taylor and Collin stayed up later than they should have watching Ryan, Tiff, Steve and I try to figure out the games (and make fools of ourselves of course!)
So we started the new year with the end of the Cowboys football season... which was definately a bummer. We had high hopes for this year :( But we are trying to move on... This year we will get to relax with no arena football (the AFL has suspended the 2009 season). So what do we do with no Desperados to prepare for? Watch the College Bowl games, of course! Macie had to show some Sooner love when we went to visit her Nana and G-Daddy today.
We spent New Year's Eve at the Zellers! The kids had so much fun having a little slumber party, complete with sleeping bags, movies and snacks while we waited for midnight!

We had so much fun last night! We got together with our neighborhood friends for potluck and trick or treating!! The kids had an awesome hot dog picnic (thanks Steph!) while the moms and dads had chilli, cornbread and lots of appetizers, chips and dips!! Everything was soooo good! After we ate we we took the kids trick or treating in the neighborhood. Wellington residents know how to have a good time - and how to decorate for Halloween! It was really amazing how the families really went all out to make this a special event for the littlest residents!
a few of our friends.. Frog (Jake), Fairy (Reagan), Cinderella (Julia), Rock Stars (Taylor & Colin)
if we could find a shirt that says 'Mango Rocks' we would have one!
As if Gymnastics wasn't cool enough anyway... the kids got to wear their Halloween costumes today!!! Super fun!! Macie was anxious to get into her class and you can tell by her look that she is a little put out that I asked her to stop and take a pictue before she went in the building...
She is stretching somewhere under all that fluff!
We did have to loose the costume eventually... 
Porter the puppy... Macie LOVES this little dog! He has been her very favorite since the day we brought him home. She is so attached... we even have a "back up Porter"... just in case. She has other toys she loves too... like Baby Kate and her Rowdy doll (the newest addition, Daddy brought him home from training camp this summer) - but Porter is definatley her fav!!!
Our dear friends the Carrell's came to Dallas for a weekend visit!!! Staci, Makynli, Macie and I got up early on Friday morning to go to Canton for a day of shopping. Friday night Matt, Cade & Steve met up with us to go to Life's a Beach for dinner. The kids had so much fun playing in the sand after dinner!! Saturday we all went to Pumpkin Express and Snuffers to eat with the Kennon's. It was so much fun having them here!!
