January 2011

We know how to party hardy on NYE around here!

I promise that it's only sparkling grapejuice!

Ahhhh!

My hat man



We got some great snow last January and the kids had SNOW much fun!





He couldn't wait to throw this one!





He is also serious about his teeth! :)

Anysa getting her award at assembly last year.

Mrs. G is God's gift to teaching and she will forever take up a huge spot in our hearts!  I could write a whole post on her.

Anticipation!

Satisfaction!

My girl!

"Ook, I vcoom!"

Outside fun!


He's been learning about tractors from his PaPa.



Both kids played Upward basketball last year.

Fall 2010

Wasn't this just yesterday?!

No, I guess not.

When we were in our rent home, Brax loved exploring the kitchen cabinets.




Grandparents Day at Chapel Hill

Playing dress up in sister's room

Eating popcorn with Nana

He loves being outside



He wants to play with Sissy and Bubba so bad that he will even be their "horse"!



Working on the tractor for Daddy

Some days, I had to trick him into taking a nap.


Pink Day at school!


Crazy Day at school

Brax wanted to dress up too!

Hard to tell from the pic, but Brax is actually in the dog pen.  Notice who is not in there!

Watching Luke play football

Flag Football



When Anysa was 18 months old, she was in a pageant in Dallas.  She actually won Miss Photogenic.  :)  I thought she might like to try one of the local small town pageants.  Silly me, thought it would fun and simple.  I should have known better.  These girls-and mommas-were serious. 

Notice that she is the only one with straight hair!  I thought she looked beautiful, did a great job, and won first place in my heart!


Some of my pictures seem out of focus, but I think it is my editing.  I'm rusty!

The Blog Drought of 2011

12 posts in 2011.

Seriously?

Well, 13 if you count this one.

Obviously, I need to count all that I can!

When I started in 2007, I posted 188 times that year.  201 in 2008.  132 in 2009.  65 in 2010.

The pattern is frightening.

But I am here to say that I hope to finish out 2011 with a few bonus tracks and start 2012 with a game plan!

I have done a bit of housekeeping around here in hopes to spruce the place up a bit on my own.  This will do for now.  :)

I am going to leave a breadcrumb trail so everyone can find their way back here!
