Perot Museum

On Thursday we went to the Perot Museum for the first time!   So much fun.

Jessie, Caroline, Sam, Emerson, Tyler, and Mariah (Tyler's friend)

Caroline & Grandma Peggy

Caroline, Emerson and their cousin Jessie

Emerson liked learning about the water cycle- that was ice she was touching

Sam, Emerson, and Tyler doing a weather tv broadcast

Sam watching the "tornado" form

Sam photobombed a picture of Caroline and Aunt Tina

The girls LOVED this one- it was a geode that they could open and see all the pretty purple crystals

They video tape them doing a sport then they can watch it in slow motion and compare themselves to a pro athelete- Sam chose Roger Staubach

Jessie & Emerson racing against a track star

And of course we had to stop for craft time

New Years Eve 2013

Tracey hosted a few families at her house for New Years.   Here are the kids watching a movie!

Our great friend that is a party planner extraordinaire so she came and gave the party some pizzazz!    Check her out at www.gigglesgalore.net

Sam got a rocket for Christmas so we took it to the park along with a few kids that wanted to watch the big launch event.     Very fun!    

And a few more lakehouse pictures that were on my phone.

December Lakehouse

We went out to the lake house for only 2 days- its a nice break from the busy life.    We happened to go when there was a cold front so we stayed in and played games and did puzzles.     Sam brought his new sling shot and his BB Gun and his remote control boat so he LOVED going to the lake!

Christmas 2013

My mom and her sisters on Christmas Day 

My Uncle James got to come on Christmas Day- we were so happy to see him.    He doesn't talk much but when we were little he used to tease Tracey & I ALL the time!   Nice to see him smile!

We had SUCH a good time with this sweet baby!    My cousin Michelle and Drew had this sweet baby girl, Kenley Grace (named after Michelle's dad)    We loved on her and enjoyed having a baby in the family again!

We found the kids under the tree while everyone else was eating.   They were "sorting" until Sam said lets open a gift on the count of three and sweet Caroline did it- not knowing that no one else planned to!

Christmas Eve Candlelight service at church.    She was SO excited hold her own candle and would not let me help her!   

State Champs & Christmas Parties

We went to the State Champion Football Game in December.  My Uncle Mark went with us.   We had so much fun hanging out with him.

Caroline brought us this gift home- she was so excited for us to open it.    Love the homemade Christmas ornaments.    They are my favorite ones on my tree.

Caroline's Preschool Party

The girls performed a Christmas Program at their dance studio.   They are taking jazz.
