Happy Thanksgiving - 2009

Matt cooked the Thanksgiving turkey - to perfection - on his green egg! We hosted my mom and dad, Kim, Bruce, Katelynn, and Hunter.

We are very thankful for our many blessings from God - especially all of our family and friends.

We enjoyed our annual tail-gate (this year at the new Cowboy Stadium) and the Cowboy's victory!

MATT COMPLETES HIS FIRST FULL MARATHON

On November 15th, Matt completed his first marathon in San Antonio. He ran the Rock and Roll marathon on a hot and humid day. Molly and I were driving all over San Antonio trying to see him along the run, but we were always a little late. Molly and I and a few others (Allyson, Kathy, Keith, Kim, Emma, Andrew, and his Dad) proudly watched him cross the finish line.

Beach Fun in Port Aransas!

Happy summer everyone!

We just returned home from spending a few days in Port Aransas. The weather was great and we had a fantastic time with Suzanne and the Dawson family.

Miles enjoyed pushing his truck around the beach - so many times that his feet had blisters! Molly loved swimming in the pool with her new goggles. Matt spent two afternoons on the new golf course with Bruce. They must've played well because they came back to the condo in good spirits! Matt and my sister, Kim, enjoyed taking the kayak out in the ocean. I don't like salt to get in my eyes :) so I spent my time reading and finding sand dollars!

Molly Performs!

Molly enjoyed singing at the PTA meeting!

Molly and Miles at the farm

Molly and Miles have been enjoying a little summer retreat with Popeye and Grandmother in La Pryor. Miles has really taken to country life. He even rode the tractor with his grandfather, "Popeye" and loves being outside - even though it is over 100!
