Savannah

We sent a care package to the kids handicapped cousin Savannah, the kids all wrote her nice cards, with peace signs. Her dad was in the hospital so they were cheering her up.

Winter Break

On the last day of Winter break we took the kids and Lauren (our 3rd child-ha) to Schliterrbahn in Galveston. One of the moms from the school posted on FB that she had 3 kids tickets and 1 adult ticket. We drove about 1 hour to Galveston and boy was it cold outside brrrr. Well we got to the ticket counter, and we were going to have to buy a ticket for Ron, well the lady said that somebody had left a ticket behind that we could have, man was that awesome we did not pay anything for admission ( only paid for our food) they had a jacuzzi with a bar you could swim up to, an indoor kids swimming area. My favorite was tubing in the wave pool man was that fun (one wave crashed over my head) The kids were super 2 rides that were outside (they were all shivering after)The trip was a capper off to a great winter break. Lauren said it was the best birthday present (she turned 9 that weekend)

Chase also came over,and spent 2 nights with Ryan-they are so close in age, and they always have fun together.
I also took 5 kids to Jumpin Joey's they all had a great time also.

Silent Auction

Fall Festival

Fall Festival

Every November the kids school has a HUGE fundraiser. It is a carnival with food, carnival games, they have a dunking booth, severl huge jump houses, glam statition, 2rock walls, the bring in a petting zoo. The kids have suckh a blast, there is Dj that plays music. Every class puts together a themed basket for the silent auction, i think Ryan's class was about BBqing and Kaitlyn's class was art supplies. The baskets are amazing. People donate homemade clothes, portraits, gift cards for golfing,jewlery. The list goes on. The event makes about $30,000.00 for the school, and their is soooo much parental participation, it is awesome. Ryan got his hair colored blue and Kaitlyn's was pink, she got her nails painted and make up applied.We always have a great time at Fall festival

Fort in backyard

The kids built a fort in the back yard (Before it got too cold) and brought out their pillows and blankets. I made them some hot chocolate and whip cream, they were tickled pink. They thought it was so great to drink the hot chocolate in their fort.
