Dan's Birthday Jan 25th

 The kids thought it would be a fantastic idea to move the kitchen table to the backyard for Dan's birthday dinner. 

 We had sweet and sour chicken legs and thighs (his favorite) .  After Jaeden led us in some games to play outside like sharks and mino's

 Cherry cheesecake for dessert.  Happy Birthday Dan!!

Home Depot

Dan took the kids to Home Depot to do their free Saturday class.  They made race cars :-)

Sea World

 At the Shamu show, my favorite

Dominic's first time on this ride.  He was so cute, so excited but a little nervous. 

Thanskgiving

 My parents came to Austin to spend Thanksgiving with Kellie and my family.  We went to eat lunch with the girls at school one day while they were here.

 Thanksgiving morning, the girls wanted to look like twiners in their new dresses they picked out.

 Our family has a little tradition where every Thanksgiving morning we go out to breakfast, ususally Kirby Lane.

So this is my popsy after our big dinner.  I love it. 

Literacy Night

Jaeden is in a readers theater group at school.  She was a narrator for a story they read at Murchison's literacy night. 

Date Night

Dan and I went to see the Twilight movie the Saturday it came out.  Very excited about it. 

October 27th

My friend Keri asked me back in June if I wanted to run a half marathon in October.  It seemed like a fantastic idea at the time.  I started to really train for it in August and towards the end of September I hurt my leg pretty bad.  The morning of the marathon was the first time I ran in 5 weeks.  I was prepared with biofreeze gel and lots of ibprofen.  I think the freezing temp helped too.  It really was so much fun.  Dan showed up with the kids 15 minutes before I crossed the finish line, made me happy.  I was pretty proud of all us ladies. :)

Right after the race, we raced off to San Antonio and went to Sea World with Dan's parents.  It was a fun long day.
