Christmas Miracles!!

After 13 years of ineffectual pleading Bill decided on his own to put up Christmas lights much to the rest of the family's delight!! It became quite the family project.  Both the kids screwed in the light bulbs and placed the clips so daddy could put them on the roof.  GO TEAM UNDERWOOD!

Merry Christmas!

Here is a picture from the annual Barrow Hanley Christmas party at the Dallas Petroleum Club.  It's always fun to get dressed up and have a night out on the town with my dapper husband!

Miss C performed in her first solo competition

Miss C performed in her first solo competition this past weekend for Showtime International and earned a Division 1 score!  Not too shabby for her first time out there all alone. Below is the link to her performance.

Amanda's throwing down the double 3's

Here are some of my friends celebrating my Birthday at Tillman's in the Dallas OC (that's Oak Cliff)

Thank you Bill for such a wonderful night!

Big E's big lip

Big E really wanted me to show his fat lip from him chewing on it post anesthesia after his dental procedures.

Mother's Day

Here are some pics of me and my sweet kiddos on Mother's Day!  I am so blesssed with these two thoughtful and loving children.

This Mother's Day was sponsored by my "Trophy Husband" who without him this day would not be possible. Thank you.

Bill is the big 36!

No Bill is not 351 as the baked goods Miss C made for his birthday suggests. Daddy is 3 and 5+1=6 so together that makes 36, makes sense especially since we didn't have a 6 candle.  We had a family celebration at home, we went out to dinner with friends the night before and went to another birthday party on his actual birthday since Bill and Joanne (pictured above) share the same birthday. (We won't mention the difference in years). We had a great time and we love Bill so much we are so thankful for all he does for our family. It is always good to celebrate Bill!

Ouch!

Poor Big E got a nasty infection after a tooth cleaning caused by a bad tooth.  It looks like he got in a fight. We got that tooth taken care of and now he has a crown, which he is quite pleased with.

Bill in PA

Bill posing with a Revolutionary soldier actor in PA. I'm not jealous that he travels to cool places, really.... :)

Upon seeing this picture big E stated "Cool! Daddy met a real pirate!" Well, kinda baby.

Family night

We learned about God's angels being warriors for family night this past Sunday so the kids got to pretend they were angel warriors in the backyard.

More zoo picures

Miss C's first grade field trip

Miss C. had her first grade field trip last Thursday to the zoo.  We could not have asked for more beautiful weather.

Just Trying this Out

Bill went to the Natural History Museum in NYC today.  The kids are so jealous!
