New family pictures

Our friend Steve Campbell took some pictures of our family yesterday. I thought they turned out really cute.

Little Miss Tomball Pageant

JoLee was in the Little Miss Tomball Pageant and won 2nd runner up overall. She was so excited. I am waiting for pictures that were taken at the pagent to be uploaded so I will post them as soon as possible. I wasn't able to take pictures because I was running around and helping her change outfits. She was too CUTE!.

Cody

Well another football season has come to an end, with not so great results. We ended up 2-8 overall. So depressing. The coaches put in an incredible amount of work and end up disgusted with the way things turn out. The kids and I went out of town last weekend after the last game, a terrible game BTW, so Cody was able to rest, hide out, and crash after working so hard for the last four months. At least I have some great pictures from this season, (even though he looks REALLY serious and unhappy in them.) The beauty of football is, there is always next season. I'm very proud of Cody, he is truly a wonderful father and husband. The kids were so excited yesterday because he was home in the daylight, he was able to play with them on their bikes and see them in the afternoon instead of right before (or after) their bed time. Case said daddy's home?? I said yes, he said...why??? :) Of course he says why?? to everything right now. It's amazing how much Cody misses, I don't think people realize how much these guys (and their families) sacrifice for their players. It's a good thing he loves it.

Halloween

The kids were so cute on Halloween, Dash Incredible, Pink Lady and Elvis. We had a great time in our new neighborhood. This was the first year that we didn't go to another neighborhood to trick or treat. It was so nice outside, the neighbors were so nice to all the kids. We loved it!

JoLee's First Dance Recital

Saturday was JoLee's first dance recital. THANKFULLY it was no where near the extravaganzas that my dance recitals used to be. It was only two classes and each dance was about 2 minutes long and she did so well! She knew the steps and smiled so pretty. It was fun. Cody was even able to get off work in time to make it. He brought her some very pretty red roses, that she is so proud of. Case slept through most of it and Stoney did pretty well at sitting quietly while 4 and 5 year olds danced around in princess costumes. We were so proud of her.

She is getting her crown on. That is her teacher, Miss Ruth.

This was her favorite part!

Pretty curtsy!

Pretty pointed toes!

So proud of her roses...

...and her crown!!

My flowers

I have some pretty Azaleas blooming in the front of the house. They are just so sweet. It is funny they are only blooming on the back side of the bushes, closest to the house. JoLee just loves them, mainly because they are purple I think. It is so fun to have my own flowers in my own yard. I hope they fill with blooms soon.

My beautiful kids!

Aren't they gorgeous?!! I just had to share.
