New Year's Eve

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!

Christmas Fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving!! We had fun with our family, ate lots of YUMMY food (thanks MOM!!) and the Cowboys won!! The cousins had sooo much fun playing together... I didn't get a lot of pictures, and most of the ones I got were not very good... here are a couple of random ones!

BYE WEEKEND!!

One of my favorite weekends of the year is our Bye Weekend... Steve finally gets a weekend off after months of non-stop football. We always try to do as much as we can during our Bye... and this weekend was no exception. We had 4 birthday parties - Happy Birthday to Reece, Jackson, Paige & Lydia!!! Saturday night we went to Jarod & Amy's house - all Steve's siblings were there with their spouses & kiddos... We had soooo much fun!!! It was a great weekend... although not totally football free - we are spending the final hours watching Giants at Eagles ;)

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat!!

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!

Macie & Reagan being silly!

RoMo RoCKs!!

Macie still thinks he rocks... even with a hurt pinkie finger!!

I LOVE TO!!

and she will happily tell you that he is her favorite!!!

but... I love Daddy MOST!

if we could find a shirt that says 'Mango Rocks' we would have one!

We love you Daddy!!

Gymnastics "Halloween" Style

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...

it is difficult to do "real"gymnastics and be a witch!

HaPpy FaLL!

Porter

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!!!

Kinley

Macie's sweet friend Kinley came over after school today to play. The girls had so much fun!

Weekend Fun!!

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!!
