Creightons Quick Feet

Santa at the Galleria

This was a great Santa because there were no lines. We walked right up - it was perfect! Then we got up and talked to the kids - they could not get enough of him. He was very cute.

White Bluff Summer 2010

They finally arrived from Africa. Beth, Bella and Saba. We have been talking about them and looking at Mozambique on the map and now they are here. All have gotten taller and bigger. Crazy fun!

Fourth of July!

There was a burn ban in place so we were not allowed to do smores over the firepit so we did them over the grill - they were not the same.
Brinley trying to catch with goggles and floaties on -did not work so well


Hanging with KK and Pops before the fireworks went off - This is Whitaker's first Fourth of July where he did not loose it over the loud fireworks, he sat through the whole thing and loved the finale. Brinley a pro just sat there like "people I have been doing this since I was born"

Golfing time!!!

We are in the lake - Whitaker had no problem looking in the water with his goggles on - is precious little soul has no idea what is under there.
Well it rained all day Thursday, Friday and some on Saturday and a bit on Sunday, but stopped for fireworks on Sunday night. Yeah! We were at Whitebluff for the weekend and had a blast. The kids enjoyed the boat, golfing, playing outside, putting on no. 12, fireworks, sparklers and smores - along with all the fabulous food that KK cooks!!!

Shaving Cream is the Best!

Creighton has grown!!

This was very exciting for Creighton he finally got to stand on a chair and help make brownies with the big kids. He was so pumped and actually had interest in eating the brownie batter! What a fun day for him and for me, who instantly went into - oh he is growing up!

Whitaker Got A Hair Cut

So he asked to have his hair cut - I think he was sick of being hot in the summer - so we did it. He was smiling through the whole thing. We were at Whitebluff when we did it and the only place that was open was SuperCuts. He still wants it shorter - he wants it like Pops who is bald!

Spring Break in Breckenridge,TX

So we traveled to Breck for Spring Break and had a blast. Mama sang This is the Day for us and the kids sang along. This was the first time that Lisa traveled with me and the kids, it was a blast and Lisa I am sure was exhausted after all that chaos!

Our typical schedule, wake up, ask Papa when can we go swimming, eat breakfast swim, play, go eat lunch at Ernies, come back and play and ask when can we swim again, rest, play, eat dinner, swim again, then pass out so tired! HA! Pretty much sums it up!




This is us planting wild flowers the day before we left - we got home and I made Whitaker wait a day before he called Mama to ask her if the flowers have bloomed yet.



Seriously every has to smile big when you get to have chocolate like this!

Creighton being happy!



So Papa is researching his next book about the Bible and the kids loved to watch him sit and work and take notes and then they feel like they too have alot of things to write down.




So Papa thought it would be fun to teach Whitaker and Brinley to drive the golf cart. I mean all 9 of us grandkids all learned how to drive by starting on a golf cart so seem logical but I have to say I don't recall any of us being 3 and 4. He did let them drive out on the grass and Lisa and I were rolling on the ground laughing because they hit trees, ditches, bumps!!

Not to self, Brinley when driving focus on the road not on the camers!


Swimming - our favorite past time! Oh not Creighton's but everyone else loved it

Thank you Mama and Papa for letting us totally wreck your house and your schedule! Now Mama you can watch Glenn Beck without us running around.

Snow Fun!!!!

Can you get any better than having a snow shower on a Friday Morning!!!
