James, Mhari and Andrew

2010-06-06T19:36:00.001-07:00

Todd had a CPE conference in Austin in May so we took the opportunity to spend time with my brother James, Mhari and their baby Andrew. Andrew is about 5 months old and we don't get to see him enough, or Jimmy and Mhari.

Nicholas on Award Day

2010-06-06T19:31:00.000-07:00

Nicholas on 5th grade award day. He won First in Math for the district and a few other awards. Don't even get me started on how proud I was of the kids this school year! It was just nice for all of them to have a good year after the difficulty of last year starting a new school.

Meredith on ballet recital night

2010-06-06T19:19:00.000-07:00

Meredith in her "Annie" costume and her formal tutu. They also jazz danced to "Men in Black," which was hilarious.

Prominent Pioneer

2010-06-06T19:11:00.000-07:00

Samuel gets selected as a Prominent Pioneer at Crockett Middle School. Each teacher selects a student to receive this award based on overall academics and behavior. It is quite an honor and we were very proud of him. He is in the front row.

Easter Morning

2010-04-04T09:18:00.000-07:00

It's not hard to get Meredith to dress up, but to get those boys to wear button-up shirts is a chore! But they all look so nice in their Easter best.

Spring Break 2010

2010-04-02T12:41:00.000-07:00

For spring break we headed to Austin and San Antonio. First we stayed in Austin to meet my new nephew Andrew (can't believe I forgot to take pictures) and spend time with Jimmy and Mhari. We visited the campuses of Baylor and UT for the boys. Then we drove to San Antonio and stayed on the Riverwalk. We finished out the trip with a day at Fiesta Texas. A 6-day trip enjoyed by all.

2010-04-02T12:40:00.000-07:00

Todd's parents were visiting Kerrville so they came and met us in San Antonio for the day.

2010-04-02T12:36:00.000-07:00

The line to enter the Alamo was around the block! Crazy. It was spring break for others, too, obviously.

Fun at Fiesta Texas

2010-04-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

2010-04-02T12:33:00.000-07:00

Soaking Wet after the Water Ride

2010-04-02T12:31:00.001-07:00

Winner of the Battle of the Books!

2010-04-02T12:27:00.000-07:00

Nicholas' team wins UIL Battle of the Books competition! There were 33 teams from Amarillo represented so it was tough! Their next competition will be in Lubbock in May. He was SO PROUD!

Nicholas goes to the Ball

2010-01-17T15:15:00.000-08:00

Nicholas got all dressed up and went to his first "ball" thru cotillion. He wanted me to come pick him up early because he was sure that he would not have a good time. When I arrived he was dancing and appearing to enjoy himself so we stayed until it was over. The kids were all in a big circle with the boys on the outside and the girls on the inside so they could switch partners at intervals. The dances were all led by the teacher so it was not just free dance. One activity was that the instructor handed a styrofoam ball to all the boys (I'm sure they were thinking they were going to get to throw them at girls) but they had to dance with their partner close enough that the ball stayed pressed between their foreheads while they foxtrotted.

A few more Christmas Pictures

2009-12-27T10:12:00.000-08:00

Here are the kids with some presents. Nick got a Longhorn tee and a Rootbeer Maker. Meredith is wearing a new swimsuit as she always gets a new one at Christmas. Samuel is opening Wii Star Wars Light Sabers.

Thanksgiving in Dallas

2009-12-24T19:15:00.001-08:00

We went to Dallas over the Thanksgiving weekend. We stayed at the Gaylord Texan and has this beautiful atrium view from our balcony. The hotel was hosting "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" ice sculptures (9 degrees while walking thru) that was really something to see (lost those pix). The highlight of the trip was the Baylor/Texas Tech game, in which Baylor did well but lost in the end.

Christmas Eve

2009-12-24T19:00:00.000-08:00

Just a few pictures Christms Eve before church. I'm sure there will be more tomorrow but I liked these and decided to post them now. My big kids!!

Crazy Cat

2009-12-24T18:57:00.001-08:00

Our crazy cat! You never know where you are going to find him! He gets in everything. I have even opened drawers and there he was!

Puckett Sock Hop

2009-11-13T19:26:00.000-08:00

Nicholas and his friend Keegan dressed as nerds for the Sock Hop. Anybody can wear a leather jacket, but you gotta be the right kid to pull off a cool nerd! Keegan won a Wii in a drawing that he spent a dollar on!

Ballet Watch Day

2009-11-13T19:23:00.001-08:00

Here is Meredith in her ballet class on Watch Day.

Our Cancun trip, October 2009

2009-11-01T06:22:00.000-08:00

We stayed at a wonderful resort outside of Cancaun called Zoetry. This was the view of the outdoor lobby, our first view we saw of the resort. It was gorgeous and the service was incomparable. We were asked constantly if we needed anything, which I got used to very quickly.

2009-11-01T06:18:00.000-08:00

I just like this picture of our feet as we lay on the covered beds on the beach. We spent one afternoon where our only activity was moving from one lounge chair to the next.

2009-11-01T06:07:00.000-08:00

The resort raises baby sea turtles and releases them once a year. All guests were given turtles to release into the ocean in a race. Our turtles were in no hurry to take the plunge so we never won. Sadly, sea gulls were circling above us so you know some of the turtles were going to be lunch.

2009-11-01T06:00:00.000-08:00

Iguanas were everywhere. Todd hated them but I thought they were kinda cute!

2009-10-31T16:59:00.000-07:00

This was dinner on the last night of our trip. The restaurants were impressive, the kind of fancy food served in several courses. The fancier the restaurant, the less food you get I think. Todd ordered the shrimp appetizer, which consisted of two little shrimp sitting on a tomato slice. They used a dinner plate for that? Anyway, this is us on our 12th anniversary!

Halloween

2009-10-31T16:43:00.001-07:00

Here are the kids in their costumes--Nicholas is Harry Potter, Meredith is Ariel in her formal dress and Samuel is Bruiser the Baylor bear. Thank goodness for the wonderful weather after all the cold we've had so far.

Skillet Concert

2009-10-17T11:33:00.000-07:00

Here are the boys in their Skillet tee shirts at the concert. We saw Skillet and Hawk Nelson in Lubbock. They were awesome! I wanted to see them just as much as they did.

Nebraska trip Sept 18-21

2009-09-23T18:50:00.001-07:00

This was a trip to remember, that's for sure! The purpose was to see Grandma Fleischman. We started out fine for the first five miles, but then we were in *the wreck* on I-40. Dan, my brother, was driving my car and stopped suddenly because a car in front of him stopped. Who stops on I-40???? We barely missed the car in front, but then boom! we were hit from behind and then my dad hit the car behind us. None of the 10 of us were hurt, thankfully. My car needs a new trunk hatch and bumper. Dad's car had front end damage. The car in between us was smushed! We headed back to Dan's to get another vehicle and tried the journey again. We made it to Nebraska finally! So on this trip we wrecked the car and I broke my camera! Bummer! Otherwise it was nice to see the family in Nebraska!

Henry Dorley Zoo

2009-09-22T19:26:00.000-07:00

We spent the day at the best zoo around, the Henry Dorley zoo in Omaha. We went with Jenny and Kurt and their kids.

2009-09-22T19:24:00.000-07:00

The kids follow a peacock.

2009-09-22T19:23:00.000-07:00

I'm sure I have taken pictures of the penguins on every trip. But they are just too stinkin cute!

2009-09-22T19:17:00.000-07:00

At least the fish pose good for the pic!

2009-09-22T19:14:00.000-07:00

You try and get a good picture with this many cousins! It was so nice to spend time with Jenny and Kurt's kids. They are all the same ages as our kids and get along great.

2009-09-22T19:13:00.000-07:00

A gorilla looks so sweet when he sleeps.

2009-09-22T19:11:00.000-07:00

I tried to take pictures of things we never see. This was a cute little baby gorilla.

2009-09-22T19:09:00.000-07:00

Love those polar bears!!

Moseman cousins

2009-09-22T19:07:00.000-07:00

We ate lunch with the Moseman cousins Colby and Isabella

2009-08-27T06:45:00.000-07:00

Disney World August 14th-21st 2009!! Does this picture not say it all?

2009-08-27T06:44:00.001-07:00

2009-08-27T06:42:00.000-07:00

Beginning our fun at the Magic Kingdom

2009-08-27T06:40:00.000-07:00

Dinner at the Crystal Palace.

2009-08-27T06:35:00.000-07:00

That's our girl!

2009-08-27T06:23:00.000-07:00

Breakfast at Chef Mickey's. You've got to eat here when you go to Disneyworld.

2009-08-27T06:22:00.000-07:00

2009-08-27T06:20:00.000-07:00

2009-08-26T15:49:00.000-07:00

What is so funny about this picture is that this breakfast was at 7:30 in the morning (6:30 our time). Nicholas' hair was sticking up in the back and Minnie is spit-combing it down for him!

2009-08-26T15:42:00.000-07:00

This is a dinner show called the Hoop Dee Doo Review. It is in the old west style where they do skits and sing old songs like "Oh My Darling Clementine" (that's the only one I can remember off hand). It's funny and the kids loved it.

2009-08-26T15:39:00.000-07:00

At this dinner show it is an all you can eat meal with fried chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, etc, and strawberry shortcake for dessert! They had to bring more ribs for Sam and Nick because they ate the whole bucket! Or do I mean WORE the whole bucket?

2009-08-26T15:34:00.000-07:00

Somehow we got the center table at the show. Here is a song where the actress sings to Todd and sits on his lap and says "you never told me you were married" and "you told me you were from California!" We had the whole cast dancing circles around our table. Then behind me and Nicholas they sang a duet. It was very embarrassing, but a time we will always remember!

2009-08-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

This is the Aladdin Magic Carpet Ride.

2009-08-26T10:07:00.000-07:00

Nicholas and Dan on Splash Mountain. Is that his intense face?

2009-08-26T10:04:00.001-07:00

I just liked the colors in this one a lot.

2009-08-26T10:02:00.000-07:00

The boys being silly at a picture spot.

2009-08-25T12:16:00.000-07:00

Nicholas and Samuel wear 3-D bug glasses at "It's Tough to be a Bug."

2009-08-25T12:15:00.000-07:00

Cooling of at Animal Kingdon

2009-08-25T11:48:00.000-07:00

This was the only Bolt thing we could find. She loves Bolt.

2009-08-25T11:42:00.000-07:00

The boys get pirate hats!

2009-08-25T11:36:00.000-07:00

Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle!

2009-08-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Meredith at the Bippity Boppity Boutique. She got her hair done and picked out a princess dress (Ariel's formal dress).

2009-08-24T17:46:00.000-07:00

Meredith has a Bolt balloon bouquet waiting for her at the Beach Club. She really got the birthday attention on this trip!

2009-08-24T17:42:00.000-07:00

I guess this is a view from our room at the Beach Club Resort. I love this hotel with its fun waterslide and lazy river.

2009-08-24T17:40:00.001-07:00

Kids and Grandparents at the Beach Club

2009-08-24T17:38:00.000-07:00

One side of the Polynesian Resort where we stayed

2009-08-24T17:33:00.000-07:00

This is the brick that Todd bought for us when we got married. It has been there since 1997 and is showing wear, but is still as special as ever. It is located on the walkway of the Polynesian resort.

2009-08-24T17:26:00.000-07:00

These are pictures added on a wall as you walk in Epcot. As you can see, we did these when the boys were little. Every trip we go thru Epcot we stop and look at these!

First day of school!

2009-08-24T15:08:00.000-07:00

Here they are on August 24, 2009. Samuel is entering 6th, Nicholas 5th and Meredith 1st grades. They are getting older by the minute!

Fathers Day 2009

2009-06-21T10:36:00.001-07:00

The kids pose with Dad on his day!

2009-06-21T10:34:00.000-07:00

The kids each made a canvas painting for Dad. They turned out great!

The Great Wolf Lodge

2009-06-14T16:04:00.000-07:00

We were gone a few days to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX. It is a nature-themed hotel with a huge waterpark inside. This is our room, with a wolf den for the kids to sleep in. There were bunkbeds inside the cave.

2009-06-14T16:02:00.000-07:00

2009-06-14T15:57:00.000-07:00

The inside part of the water park. This doesn't include the outdoor park or the waterslides that curved around the building. The slides would start inside, curl around the outside of the building and wind back inside. One of them made me so motion sick I had to go back to the room and lie down.

2009-06-14T15:50:00.000-07:00

A fun water activity--using a net to make your way across floating logs. It was not easy and required lots of strength and coordination to stay on the logs as they moved underneath you.

2009-06-14T15:49:00.000-07:00

2009-06-14T15:46:00.000-07:00

Meredith didn't quite make it across so down in the water she went!

2009-06-14T15:44:00.000-07:00

Having a great time!

Shaving Cream Fight!

2009-05-31T06:24:00.000-07:00

We went to the park on the last day of school for a Shaving Cream/Water Balloon/Silly String party! It got ugly fast! Even I was covered and I was safe on base!

2009-05-31T06:13:00.000-07:00

2009-05-31T06:12:00.000-07:00

Nicholas and buddies

2009-05-29T05:17:00.000-07:00

Nicholas and some friends at a school picnic.

Samuel swinging at school

2009-05-28T17:52:00.000-07:00

We were at school for an end-of-school picnic and Samuel was swinging away!

2009-05-28T17:51:00.000-07:00

Kindergarten graduation

2009-05-28T14:21:00.000-07:00

This is a play called "The Dragon" a few students did to show they could read at the kindergarten graduation. Meredith played the king.

5th Grade Talent Show

2009-05-27T16:32:00.000-07:00

Samuel and some boys from his class are doing a skit for the talent show. They throw objects in the sleeping bag where a "monster" (another boy) throws everything back out all chewed up.

2009-05-27T16:31:00.000-07:00

Recital Time

2009-05-27T13:41:00.000-07:00

Finally, ballet recital night!

This is her Doe Rae Mi song. She is in the center.

2009-05-27T13:39:00.000-07:00

Macy is wearing a pink tutu, with a little girl next to her in blue.

2009-05-27T13:37:00.000-07:00

2009-05-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

She is in the middle.

2009-05-27T13:30:00.000-07:00

This is Meredith doing her dance steps before her recital. Here she is waking up or coming to life, as done in her routine. Yes, I may have gotten carried away with the poses!

2009-05-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

2009-05-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

2009-05-27T13:26:00.000-07:00

2009-05-27T13:24:00.000-07:00

In her hand she holds a note she wrote to an older girl who dances with the class and leads them in their songs (she is shown in the front row of the recital pics). It is a picture she drew of the two of them dancing together. I hope Alisha appreciates this sweet gesture.

Macy and Meredith

2009-05-27T13:15:00.000-07:00

Cute dancing cousins! I love this picture.

Memorial Weekend

2009-05-24T10:21:00.000-07:00

Just a cute pic of my girl. I made this red, white and blue ruffle set for her 30 minutes before we went to church after I got the idea in bed. Crazy, I know!

Wonderland Night

2009-05-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

Nicholas rides the water ride. It was a really warm night for school Wonderland night. It's okay to get wet when you don't have to freeze the rest of the night at the park, although the cold rainy weather never stopped them before.

2009-05-18T11:50:00.000-07:00

2009-05-18T11:49:00.000-07:00

Samuel all wet!
