Wims Golf Tournament


Some really great friends of ours and the Wims put together a golf tournament benefitting the Wims. It went sooo well, raising $44,000!!! 2 former Aggie-turned-pro football players made an appearance, which was really neat. Please continue to pray for the Wims and Brad's treatments.




Little Conductor


Jack still loves trains, and this is his "conductor outfit", which unfortunately, closely resembles a dress!!!

Horses, horses, horses


Jay and Jamie are some good friends through school with Bryan, and his parents have 3 horses. They invited us out to their house for a day of horseback riding, swimming, and food--it was so fun! Callie especially enjoyed it, as she is really in to horses right now. We even got Bryan on one!








Caldwell



We spent the day out at Bill and Jane's land in Caldwell. Allison and her boyfriend, Scott, joined us. The kids love running around, getting dirty, and riding the gator.












Day at the Zoo

Even though I have missed Callie being with us, Jack and I have had the chance to have some fun together. He is a great kiddo, crazy, wild, sweet, and mischevious. We went to the Houston Zoo, which he loves! They have a great kid-zone, and we usually end up there after seeing the animals (at least the ones he wants to see!)

Callie's Big Day



Well, the first day is over. It started out grand for Callie, too! She actually popped out of bed, which is not usual for her. Daddy got her pink donuts (strawberry-iced) as is the usual tradition on a special day.
As you can see from the pictures, she was very excited about school! Her teacher, Ms. Fischhaber, was waiting for her. Callie did this day like she does everything else--no looking back, jumping right in. I barely got my hug in before we left! And yes, Mommy did ok, too, though I really do think I will be sad for quite a while!

Tomorrow is Kindergarten!


Well, I am officially sad! My "little" girl starts Kindergarten tomorrow. She is really excited, and actually wanted to go to bed tonight to make tomorrow come soon! Gran Gran called her to wish her good luck, and listening to her hold a regular little conversation, I just couldn't believe it's really that time. I know who will be ok tomorrow, and who won't!! I know she'll do well--we are so proud of her!

Beach Day


We had a fun day at the Galveston beach with Brad, Jenny, Zeke, Kaelyn, and our friends Valerie, Ty, and Reagan. After the beach, the "older" kids and I went to Moody Gardens to the Aquarium.
