Schools out for the summer!http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=20944896

Here we are at close of another year and what a marvelous year it has been!

I have been so happy with the kids school and all of their Teachers (such a nice and unexpected treat when you have 3 kids).

Another thing I absolutely loved about this year is being able to walk to and from school with the kids (not that I got up every morning to do so). It was such a great way to really meet all the kids around our neighborhood! We started the school year with just our kids walking and ended the year with 13.

The 3 Musketeers! My Big boy and his teacher and the 2 teachers that help out with all the kindergarten classes

Josh and his 2 buddies

Ella and her sweet friend

Josh and his teacher (apparently I have a class clown on my hands).

Catch up: pine wood derby

A few months ago Josh participated in a pine wood derby race thingy.
He and his Dad spent an evening at Grandpa's workshop building the 'silver bullet'. I can't be sure that Josh actually helped make the car but regardless, he really enjoyed the time he got to spend with his Dad & Grandpa.

I don't remember details of the evening, it has been a few months and I currently have a difficult time remember what happened yesterday but I do know is that my boy won! (not that that's important or anything)
Anyway, congratulations to Josh, Gordon & Grandpa C. for winning the pine wood derby!!!

P.S, I just remembered he did draw the plans of what he wanted this years car to look like so disregard me not knowing if he helped

Water Gardens

I know this is about a month behind but this is one of the fun things we did during Spring Break.

On this particular day we: my kid's and I and Farrah & her kiddos went to the Fort Worth Zoo which was CRAAAZY busy.
We hurried our kid's through the exhibits and got out of there in about an hour and a half and since we didn't have anything else planned we decided to stop off at the Fort Worth Water Gardens which was way more fun than the zoo and it was free!
We had a blast!

This Christmas we were lucky to have Grandma Clines come for a visit along with Gordons siblings although Jeff, Suzi & kids didn't arrive till after Christmas. Carol (Gordon's Aunt who moved about 2 miles away from us) rented her neighborhood club house for the celebration. We had food, singing, gifts and lots of fun.

Holiday going on's!

We have been busy! These are from some of the parties that we've had/attended and a few pic's of Lu & her bestest attending the nutcracker .

Merry Christmas!
