Sleeping Beauties!

Sound asleep in the dark.



Picture with the flash on so you could see them. So cute!



Last night this is what I found in Landyn's room! My two girls cuddled together and both sound asleep! They didn't even move when the flash went off on the camera! I took a couple with out the flash and a couple with so you could get the full effect of the scene. I thought it was so sweet!!!

Hayride 2008

We went on our 2nd Annual Hayride to check out Christmas lights last night! The family loaded up (Patrick and Blake were inside the truck) and drove around the neighborhoods checking out everyone's lights. It was cold, but not too bad! We had a great time! Landyn loved it!!

Tyler graduated!!

Tyler's graduation.

Yeah! Tyler finally graduated!! Last Friday, Uncle T. Bear graduated from Texas A&M University. We went to watch him walk across the stage! We also were able to hear George W. Bush speak at the graduation!!!! He was amazing!!

Fabulous Sunday!

Stud muffin!!

So cute!

Fun on the Armadillo!

Ahh! We look like we should be in high school again! I WISH!!!

Since it is only a week and a half away until Christmas, it is about time that I get my Christmas shopping completed! I was able to convince Patrick to go with me to Austin today to finish up my shopping!! Miracles never cease!!!

We had a fabulous time! He was such a trooper and a great help as well!! We are almost finished, well night quite almost, but we did make major progress today! We arrived at the Barton Creek Mall before all of the shops opened and ended up at the Domain in time to grab a few more gifts and a glass of wine before heading back to Temple for some of Blake's delicious gumbo!! Yes, Blake made the most delicious gumbo for us!! I told Blake he had to make it for Supper Club some time!!!

As we were relaxing at Cru' and Landyn was playing at the little play area at the Domain, I took some pictures of our "wind down" time that turned out kind of cute.

My little pretend Mary

Landyn sleeps with the same "soft sheet", as she calls it, every night. This pink sheet is the sheet that she had on her twim bed at my parents' house. The other night she brought it out and decided she wanted to use it dress up like Mary. So she had me wrap it around her head and then she wadded up the bottom; and the little bundle was her "baby Jesus"! It was the sweetest thing! She walked around rocking her little baby bundle pretending like she was Mary. So sweet!

Gingerbread House Project!!!

We made our first Gingerbread House tonight! It was alot harder than we thought!!!! The pictures are all out of order so you miss the humor behind the "process" of construction this thing!! I decided that next we needed to have a contest between girls and boys and who could make the best Gingerbread House!!! Landyn loved every second of it. Especially when she started sneaking licks of the icing!!!!

Biscuit and Landyn helping Daddy with the frame.

Daddy trying to understand the directions for putting up the frame!! But he is the "construction guy"!! :)

This should be the first picture. The pack came with a slab to build on! So practical!

The finished product! One proud little girl!

TA-Da!!!!

Landyn sneaking some icing! Yummy!!!

ALOT harder than it looks!!!

We are finished!!!

Salado Stroll

This past weekend we went to the Salado Christmas Stroll. I LOVE SALADO! Especially during the Christmas Season!!! We had such a great time! The weather was perfect. Cold, but not miserable! Landyn really enjoyed seeing the live nativity scene.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 4th Anniversary!!! On December 4th, Patrick and I celebrated our four year anniversary. Kim and Jeff, some good friends, celebrated their four year anniversary on December 4th as well. Patrick and I went to Nami's for Sushi on our anniversary and guess who had the same idea?!?! Jeff and Kim!!! Great minds think alike! I think we should make this some kind of tradition!!
