College Week

Ford and Jake's school recently had College Week.  Each day was a different theme and we had fun dressing the part.  Ford and Jake love Texas Tech or Mommy & Daddy's school.  Hopefully we will have 2 Red Raiders in the future!

College Week 2012

Weekend Fun!

Recently, we took "Big Lightening" over to the parking lot across the street for a drive.  Ford and Jake were being really good about taking turns.  They have almost as much fun watching each other as driving. 

We also brought our remote control cars.  It is so much more fun to do those in a big open space.

Daddy got a new smoker, so our weekends are full of outdoor activities while our dinner cooks.

Soccer and Marshmallow guns

Bubbles!

We went over to Gigi and Granddaddy's to pick up some of Daddy's old toys, specifically Legos.  We got several sets then Ford and Jake both found something else they really wanted to bring home as well. 

Jake picked Figment, which was Daddy's stuffed animal from Epcot.
 He has slept with it every night since.

Ford found a Mickey figure and a car. 
The car was built by Daddy & Granddaddy when they did Indian Guides.

Some toys are timeless . . .

New Years Eve!

Early in the day, our friends Kendall and Kellan came over for a little bit to play.  Kendall is about 1 1/2 years older than Ford and Jake and they actually let her boss them around.  It is pretty funny to watch them play.  Sweet Kellan tries to keep up with the big kids, in no time, he will probably be running the show.

Yes, it is December 31st and we are in shorts!

Such a sweet boy!

We had a little New Years Eve celebration later on.  Ford and Jake had party hats, noise makers and drank Shirley Temples - they are not crazy about the carbonation. Jay and Holly (or "Uncle V" & "Aunt Holly") came over for a bit to visit.  A little later (around 9 pm) Ford and Jake did a countdown for the new year, then bed time!  

We also put on a show with our really cool guitar shirts - you can literally play music on your shirt.  Mommy kind of wants one too :)

Happy 2012!  We hope it is filled with blessings!
