We made it!!!

We made it safe and sound to Texas! It was a whirlwind move, but we are here and all is well. Here are some pictures from the moving process.

Message in a Bottle...

Well, the long lost message in a bottle finally arrived. I say long lost because we expected it about 3 weeks ago!! My mother and sister had sent to Alyna from Hawaii while on vacation and when it didn't arrive for weeks after they had been back, we thought it had been "lost at sea" (read-lost in the holiday mail), but alas it showed up and boy was Lyna excited! As some of you know, Alyna is so thrilled about mail, so this totally made her day/week/month/maybe year?!? Anyway, here are some pictures...

Changes, they are coming!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will be moving to Dallas, TX in the next couple of weeks!!! We found a home in Mansfield and Michael will be teaching at a high school in Arlington. We are so excited about this move! Here are some photos of our new home...
We will send out an e-mail soon with our new address!!!

Congratulations Michael!!!!

Thursday, Michael finished his LAST law school final!!! He is done with law school and will have his Juris Doctorate bestowed on him after his finals are all graded!!! Way to go Michael!!!!

Ice Storm 2007

So, as many of you know we have been without power for a week now (thankfully we finally got it back this morning). We had a huge ice storm come in last week. Our street looked awful, trees down everywhere. We were really thankful for family that provided us with hotel rooms and their homes to stay in while we had no heat! Here are some pictures from our fun filled week...


Here is what our front yard tree normally looks like...
And here it is after the ice...
In the hotel...

ASC Cheer Competition

Here are the pics from Alyna's cheer comp last Saturday...

Tutus and Tie-dye!!

Here are some crafts I have done recently
I also made this sippy cup cover for Alyna's klean kanteen. We LOVE this sippy cup, but since it is steel it is sometimes really cold to the touch, so I whipped up this little cover to help keep little hands warm!

Leonardo's

This weekend we got to go to Leonardo's for my cousin's birthday party. It is a really fun children's play museum. The kids had a blast, it was so much fun!!! I wish we had a play area like it in our home! Anyway, here are some pictures from our time there...
