Turkey Day...Gobble Gobble

We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving hosting our families in our home this year.  There was lots of food to eat and fun.  My favorite part of the weekend was when we went around the circle before eating our Thanksgiving meal and each of us told what we were thankful for.  It was a gentle reminder to us all how truly blessed we are. 
Then on Thursday night, all the girls loaded up in the cars and headed to Walmart and Target to see if we could catch any great pre-holiday sales.  I'm not usually one to fight for a $9 sweeper, but I actually had a great time and came home with more items than I needed.  Here's some fun pics of our adventures.



 
Our final holiday outing was to the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine where everyone enjoyed the Ice Show.

Sophomore - Wise Fool


 Today I dropped my 'baby' off at Prosper High School as a Sophomore. It's difficult to understand where the time has gone. I'm starting to get that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that she will be going off to college the next time I blink my eyes. Life has a funny way of flashing past us without even really realizing it.
  I just discovered today that the word, Sophomore, literally translates as 'wise fool'. How true it is that as teens we thought we knew it all, but in reality we were so clueless. I guess I can speak for myself on that one, but I will say that I'm very proud of McKenzi and all that she has accomplished and the wisdom that she possesses which tends to be far beyond her years.
I guess it's days like this that make me realize that I need to cherish the time I have left with her at home.

CAUTION: New Driver Behind the Wheel


We have a new driver at our house with a new car to top it off. McKenzi got her first car this weekend and is learning to drive. Of course, she's doing a pretty good job since she's been accustom to driving a four wheeler around unpredictable, reckless drivers! Needless to say, however, if you see a black 2012 Honda Accord SE scooting around town, you can't say you haven't been warned!

Gone to the 'Boat

Our good friends, The Bristols, invited us to go along with them to their condo in Steamboat Springs, CO for spring break. It was an amazing trip, unlike any other that I've experienced. They were certainly terrific hosts, and we all had a great time. Here's a few pictures from the trip.


This is the Bristol's plane. Traveling has never been easier!

SPE Young Engineer of the Year


So proud of Kelly and his career accomplishments. He didn't share this achievement with many, but I'd like to shout it to the world. For some reason, good news never seems to travel very quickly!

Freedom 2012

So blessed to be a part of Prestonwood Ministries. McKenzi enjoyed a wonderful weekend of Freedom at Prestonwood's North Campus. Just an amazing opportunity for the students in Prosper. What started out about four years ago with 60 kids has turned into this...close to 600 kids praising God!
