Boys Visit With Santa

WHEW!!!! This year was a tough year to go see Santa... The boys were so excited!! Hank was shaking with excitement while he was sitting at the front door. I didn't take Hank's gentle leader because I didn't want the Santa elves to think he was a biter. Well, I will take it regardless from now on. Hank is a 100 lb kid that knows what he wants and that he can drag you there. My children are well behaved, but you know it was tough when Oz was the good kid today:) On top of dragging me everywhere, Hank - AGAIN - chewed through his leash in the big bad store of PetSmart. Thankfully everyone was VERY nice & helpful (as usual!!) & we got a pretty good Christmas picture:):)

Snow In College Station

Everyone went to bed on Tuesday hearing the possibility of winter mix dancing in our heads...

to our great surprise, it was a white morning:):):)

At school, the kids and I went and played in the snow all 1st period before it melted!!!!!

Then the snow melted and we were all sad:(

Around 3, we heard rumors it was snowing again...

YEAH!!!! It was SNOWING!!!!
We packed up and went out to play... the entire school was outside! What a cool site!!!!

Marine Corp Marathon

T & I went to Washington DC this past weekend to run in the Marine Corp Marathon & 10K. Holy Smokes... we finished!!! T ran the marathon and finished in the top 1/3 with a finish time of 4 hrs & 12 mins. T ran the ENTIRE thing!!! I ran the 10K and finished in the bottom 1/3 (hehehehehehe) with a finish time of 1 hr & 17 mins. I ran the first 4 miles and then ran walked the rest... after mile 5 I was wondering WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING!!!!!

I'M A GRANDMA!!!

Gracie's mom put out an email wanting babies from her. So, wanting babies from Oz, I emailed her back and made a meeting to make babies:) Here is the result:):):) We are so proud!!

Momma Gracie - She is the best momma EVER!!!
Baby Domino

This is Gracie & Domino staying with us last weekend...

Domino is 5 days old.

We finally let Oz meet the baby & see Gracie on Sunday.
What a cute family!!!

On Oct 1, Domino was 1 week old. Look at her face.

She now has the puppy smell.

Look at that belly!!!!! Domino eats ALL THE TIME!!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!

This is going to be hard for Dawn (grandma #1) & me (grandma #2) to give up our new baby.

Thankfully, we have at least 5 more weeks!
