Valentines Day 2012

 And Grammy's birthday!!!  Lots of Bath and Body Works stuff.  And a Kindle.

 And E's First Grade (last year), V-day party at school.

 E's best friend Trevor.

 And of course everyone had to get a picture taken with E and make faces!!

And all of his 1st Grade friends, and Mrs. Lurry.

Ri turnes 5!!

What a fun way to start the day??  With presents!!  We have a tradition, where the birthday boy gets to go with Dad and pick up the cake at the store AND get birthday donuts!

On to the Scooby Doo themed party at Unpluggits.....

Each kid got to paint a wooden project and rip into the cake!  What a blast!

Karate Kids/Award ceremony 2012

For the past year, the boys have been taking karate.  Although we are on a break to do swim lessons, we do plan to go back! The boys thought they were tough stuff!  Ha!! 

Waiting at the awards ceremony to accept a new belt or stripes.  R got a new white/yellow strip belt and E got himself some spiffy new stripes!

Our instructors; Mr. Blake and Mrs. Bekah.

Grapevine, TX (July-going backwards)

Took a trip to Grapevine, TX to hit the Mall and Legoland and the Sealife Aquarium. (Some pics out of order.)

We didn't think to much of the aquarium..to small and squishy....but the boys liked it and that is all that mattered!!

Starting out in the Lego "factory", getting to help "make" Lego's.  E is up there in the striped shirt!!

Turn the crank, E!!

Grabbing the Lego's we "made".  It was a pretty neat set up....having the kids think that they are helping make the Lego's!

Ri's favorite place..the fire station!!  Three levels of non-stop action!!

E's favorite part the forest ranger cars.  Motorized cars that they drove around the indoor track!

The best part..??  Getting to buy a Lego from the Lego store!!
