January 27th, 2008 - Sloan loses the training wheels!

We have been begging, bribing & peer-pressuring Sloan for the past couple of years to let us take off her training wheels. Today she decided to have daddy take them off.


Daddy helped her get started.


She took right off with no trouble though.


Evie ran along side her every time she rode.


I really think she enjoyed it & is very proud of herself.


We knew she could do it. She even took off around the neighborhood with daddy.

January 26th, 2008 - TaeKwon Do Testing

Sloan tested for her Senior Green belt today. This is the video from the Form portion of her test.

January 19th, 2008 - SNOW in Mississippi!!!

We actually had a day of snow here in MS. The kids got such a kick out of it!


Evie likes it - just a little bit.


Sloan's having a blast!


Sloan's showing you her snow angel.


The dogs were very happy to see Will.


Not sure what she's doing here, but she's having fun.

December 31st, 2007 - Happy New Year!!!

For New Year's this year we hung out at the Blanks' house where we ate & shot fireworks. The fireworks were not such a big New Year's tradition in TX. Our kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Will looks like he doesn't know what to think about all of it.

Evie with her sparkler. This picture really looks like her hair is about to go up in flames. Luckily we had no such event.


Daddy seems a bit more impressed with the fireworks than Sloan right here.

December 31st, 2007 - New Year's Eve & a visit from Josh

After Christmas we got a visit from Mimi & Gragra & they brought the girls' cousin Josh with them. We got to spend a couple of days with them, open presents & have fun. The girls just loved getting to see Josh!

Look at those kids!


Will gets in on the act too!


Evie was very sad to see them have to go back home to Texas.
