Rylie and Penelope

Rylie at her first pig show EVER!!! She did awesome, this was an open show and there were 9 pigs in weight class. I was so proud of her and her confidence, their were several older kids in the weight class and she went out there like a pro.

Scarfs from GG

Our GG who lives in Flordia but who is from New York, sent the girls handmade shaws. GG says, "her love is in every single stitch, and we believe her! She is very special to all her Texas grandgirls. We can not wait for her to come to visit and meet Marley Elizabeth.

The glory of Christmas!

Today my family and I went to the home of some less fortunate kids and gave them a Christmas they would have never been able to have. We took pictures I just don't feel it is appropriate to post. It was twin boys almost 3 and a 6 year old girl, they were cousins and the grandmother was raising them with no support from any of the parents. I asked myself, "How can this be?", I could never imagine not being with my kids much less voluntarily. My girls were excited yet apprehensive on what to expect as the neighbor was in Stop 6, down town Fort Worth. Not the neighbor hood they are use to seeing, then I look over to realize my husband is wearing his cowboy hat, "Oh no, we really stand out!", we had a good laugh about that. Anyway, my girls were really blessed as Corey and I were also. You should do this one year if you are able, it will bless your socks off.

Christmas lights in Hulen Park

This is a must in our family every year, the girls really enjoy the lights a Hulen Park. I actually enjoyed it this year because I didn't freeze my tush off.
