Dance Recital May 2010

Anne danced a jazz routine to Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA".

She did a beautiful job. When she is on stage, she just lights up. We were so proud of her!

Cat Toy April 2010

Jif grabbed one of Anne's stuffed animals from her room and dragged it downstairs. Turns out it was one of Cricket's favorite animals to pounce on...a cat.

Jif was not going to let Cricket have any part of the action.

First swim of the season April 2010

After a really cold Spring, the pool finally warmed up. We had to try out the new pool toy, The Wave Rocker.

Of course Cricket had to be in on the action too.

Big Brother took a dip but not for long. Too cold for him.

Houston Rodeo March 2010

Anne's good friend Leah invited us to the Houston Rodeo.

The actual rodeo wasn't a big prority for the girls when there were RIDES.....

FRIED OREOS....

SELENA GOMEZ IN CONCERT...

AND JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!!!

The stadium was packed with a record setting audience of screaming girls. They were in heaven!

Coach Jack

This Spring Jack got to coach a group of 5th grade boys in football. They would practice after school once a week then have games on the weekends. He did a great job!

Easter Photos March 2010

The Easter Bunny came and left goodies for everyone.

This is what I get when I try and do a "photo shoot". No cooperation from my photo subjects!

Jack turns 17! March 30, 2010

JACK

great sense of humor. I don't know how that mind of his works but he is always able to make people laugh with one of his many "sayings", funny comments, or crazy antics.
smart. He knows so much about so many things. He can listen to a lecture or read a chapter and be able to understand and remember it all. History is a favorite for him.
does the right thing. He has a very strong sense of what is right and what is wrong. Pretty black and white in his mind. He is his own man and chooses to do what he believes his right and fair. We are so proud of him for that.
loves God. He knows how important God is in his life. He wants to know how God can help him be a better man by reading or going to Bible Study. He helps teach Sunday school to 5th and 6th graders. (The kids love him!)
big. I had to mention this because every time I look at him he seems huge to me! He's got legs as big as tree trunks and he towers over me.
good brother. He makes Anne's day when he picks her up and gives her one of his bear hugs. He calls her "Meems", as do all his friends. He gives her friends rides home in his truck. When Em's around, he keeps her laughing-usually making fun of the parents! The two of them together can make a party out of something as simple as cooking dinner.
loves Texas, the South, football, eating BBQ, hangin' with friends, his truck, fishing, Cajun cookin' and pretty girls.
knows what he wants in life. And, he will get it. He has all the right stuff and we know he will be an amazing man, friend, worker, provider, husband and father.
Happy Birthday Jack!
