Music to My Ears

Conn has started leading worship on the weekends at one of our church's satellite campus' in Tomball. I love to watch and listen to him practice.


He usually sits on the couch, in front of his Mac, with only one of his ipod ear buds in. He doesn't really sing loud, just hums the tunes and strums on his guitar. He never practices until the night before, while watching a game or the ultimate fighter on t.v. :) Yet, he is absolutely amazing on Sunday!!! It really amazes me to watch the talent that God has blessed him with.

Renaissance Rewind

OK...these are well over a month old, but I still wanted to post them on here.

We took the girls to the Renaissance Festival the Friday after Thanksgiving. Conn and I both grew up around this area, and I think I had been once and Conn had never been. Well...if you have been, it is definitely something you will never forget. WOW, is all we gotta say!!! Good thing we had free tickets. It was truly a Renaissance kind of experience in all its glory! The people watching was spectacular!!! The girls had a blast, even if we felt like we needed to shield their eyes from half of what we saw. HAHA!

Lily and daddy on the huge swings

The girls rode ponies.
Maggie was a little unsure about the whole thing. :)

Even though it was almost Dec., it was hot and sunny outside!
Sweet, sweet Maggie Mae
Riding the carousel
The girls jumped on theses trampolines that literally flung them high into the air. They LOVED it! Being 38 weeks pregnant at the time, I thought about trying it myself. :) Little did I know that Cash would come just 3 days later (not from jumping on the trampoline!)
See...I told ya!

Of course, every girl has to get her face painted and fairy dust sprinkled in their hair.

Worn slap out!

Just Another Saturday

Won't you be my neighbor?

A donut kind of day!

2009...Oh-So Fine!

At the very last minute, we decided to go spend New Years with our friends, The McKellar's and The Peterson's. We all met up at The Woodlands Waterway to look at the lights. After a whole 5 min. of doing that (haha), we walked over to La Madeline's at Market Street to eat a yummy dinner. It was quite the scene when our crew walked in with 6 adults and 6 kids. No such luck for anyone wanting to have a romantic New Years dinner. :)

*******************************************************************************

After dinner, we said goodbye to our friends and drove to a car dealership to look at a car. If you're wondering...yes, it was 10:00 at night and yes, we are looking for a new car. We usually don't just go to dealerships just for the fun of it. :) We then decided to go to my parents house around 11:00 and "pop" Sparklers...not fireworks. It was just a grand ole' time. We finally rolled into our house around 12:00...just in time for the girls to watch the huge hoorah of fireworks that our neighbors were setting off. It was quite the scene. I think we all finally got to bed around 1:00a.m. For having no plans at all...we ended up having a wonderful time ringing in the New Year!!!

Have a blessed and oh-so fine '09!!!
