Random fall and winter pics

I'm going to try to get this blog all caught up over the next few weeks. For now here are a few of our random fun pics from fall and winter. Collin was my carpool line buddy. If we had a long wait he would always unbuckle and entertain me with his shenanigans.




Noelle continued on with her art classes this last year.


Collin played another round of t-ball.


And he continues to sport some serious bed head in the mornings.


Noelle tried out a season of basketball and really seemed to enjoy it.


More carpool silliness. I'm going to be so lonely in carpool line this year now that they will both be in school.


My handsome fall boy.


Collin and Mittens enjoyed their playtime when he wasn't in school.







did I mention he's silly in car pool line!


The PTA puts birthday and half birthdays on the sign out front of school. Noelle loved seeing her name up there!


The boy and his kitty.




Looking good for school pictures!




Collin loves karate. He's made it to his Little Dragon Green belt

Gaylord Ice

This blog is so terribly behind that I guess I will post our Christmas pictures now that it's July! One day after school we surprised the kids and took them to one of their favorite Christmas activities Gaylord ICE!

All bundles up and ready to check it out!



This years theme was Twas the Night Before Christmas. It was so much fun.





















The kids always enjoy wandering around the hotel after we do ICE. It's always decorated so beautifully.

July 4th Fun

This year we headed to Paris for some 4th of July fun. The kids don't really like the noise of fireworks, so we watched them from a distance at the high school.







They also love the parade through downtown.

Noelle’s Birthday Party

Miss Noelle is now NINE YEARS OLD!!!







This year we celebrated with a unicorn themed party! We took 4 of her favorite buddies to the Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park and then lunch at North Park Mall. My car was full of giggles with this group!







They loved the stingrays the best!














Attack of the fake octopus!














Our cute little group of unicorns


At the restaurant they put the kids menus in the front covers of kids books. Noelle randomly got a book called Noelle the Bulldog.


She loved opening her presents.








After lunch it was time for some yummy unicorn cake!


















Such a fun day celebrating our 9 year old!!
