Great Times in Houston!

John and I took a a week-end trip to Houston to visit my aunt and cousin. We had a wonderful time and it was great to be spoiled for a couple of days. That Jan sure can cook! Check out our modeling of the adorable hats.

Krause Springs Fall 2008

We decided to take a day trip to Krause Springs right outside of Austin. It was a beautiful day and that place was awesome. I would suggest everyone to check it out. The water was a little low and I can only imagine how it would look when the water level is up. Two thumbs up!

Gingerbread House!

Papa John has started a family tradition. Gingerbread house buliding with the kiddos.

Most of the candy ends up in their stomachs. Hadlee was eating more candy than was put on the house. Papa John loves spending time with those angels.

Chirstmas 2008

Christmas was very exciting this year. The grandchildren knew there were gifts under the tree and they could not wait to tear into them. Rylan was very excited and Hadlee was a little more laid back about the situation.

Thanksgiving!

We all had a wonderful time on Thanksgiving. All the family gathered at our home and we had a terrific feast. I always look forward to the Holiday Season. I love cooking for my family. Heather made a special arrangement for our table that revealed all that her family was grateful for. The kids had a few funny things they were grateful for. You could only imagine what a 3 and 4 year old would say.

First Time Bowlers

We got to join in the fun at Dart Bowl and witnessed our grandchildren bowl for the first time. It was a blast!

Happy Days!

A new grand child was welccomed into our lives in November. This little guys name is Rowan Case Varela.
