Valentine's

Sick Addisyn opening up her Valentines

She was so sick

This girl was not sick as you can see

Addisyn got her first "diamond" from her boyfriend Solomon

Addisyn handing out Valentines

They were all so good

Making the bags

Working hard
Well this Valentine's was pretty sad. Addisyn had the flu and was miserable. But on the Friday before we had a Valentine's party with our book club and the girls had a great time. We made Valentine's bags and the kids exchanged Valentine's and had a lunch and plenty of treats. They all had fun with is good due to the fact on the real Valentine's addisyn was miserable and had to miss her school party:(
We took them to Build a Bear a week before Valentine's as their present and we will never being do that again. $85 later the bunny and bear are not being played with.
I got a new pair of running shoes for Valentine's which I love and Brady got a new pair of Under Armor shorts he has been wanting.

Snow 2011

Pulling up the sled

Our neighbor let us borrow their sled

Cambry loved eating it

Happy about her snow ball

Making snow balls

Snow angels on the driveway and street.

Cambry's turn

Pretty cold

Trying to get a picture together but not so great
Well snow in San Antonio is not very likely so we were so excited to wake up and see snow all over! We hurried and got up and dressed and headed outside. Daddy was not here to play with us but they had fun for about 20 minutes and then they were too cold. We headed back inside for blue snowflake pancakes and hot cocoa. I like the snow but sure am glad I do not live where it is cold a lot. I am not a big fan of the cold and apparently the girls are not either.

My first Mission trip and Brady's 2nd

Cambry with her Mexican candy

Addi, I thought they were cool from down there but saw them at HEB the next day!

Having fun

Before picture
We went to Laredo, Texas which is a border town of the United States and Mexico. If you go any farther north on 35 you have to go through border point check so a lot of people live in Laredo and it is not that wealthy of a city. They ministry we went through used to go into Mexico to do work but now they have to stay on this side of the border due to all the crime in Mexico right now which is sad cause they need a lot of work over there.
So went to this church that is one big room and they wanted to add another room for the kids and we built a wall and put in a room for them. We also painted a good part of the church. That is where I stepped in. We went down on Friday and came back Sunday so it was a quick one.
On Sunday we did church service with them and I bought a lot of crafts to do with the kids. They really enjoyed it and so did I. The service was in Spanish so I was not understanding it anyway.
All in all it was a great time. We made some friendships that was really neat. We will do more for sure. This ministry goes to Panama City and I really want to do that one. They used to have to live in a jungle but now they stay in the city and go to the jungle for a few days!! Sounds so cool to me. The only down fall is now Brady does not work for his Dad that time off is bit harder now:(
So neat to see so many different walks of lives that on fire for Jesus!!!

We are adding a new member to our family....

Scratchy Dowlearn!!!!

The first night

It's ride home.

Cambry on her date.

Addisyn headed to the cheer clinic

The other night Addisyn went to a dance clinic for one of the local high schools around here so we dropped her off and took Cambry on a date. We ended up going to this hamburger place across from Petsmart. We had plenty of time before we had to go get Addisyn so I said let's take Cambry to Petsmart to just look. Well I had impulse buy!! We went to look at the cat's and I just felt like getting one. So we let Cambry pick it out and name it. She chose the one that played with her the most through the glass. She chose a pretty cute name. We did not even help her. Anyway, this cat has been a big hit. It sleeps with Addisyn and she loves it so much. I do feel bad for Cambry cause she is not as gentle so right now it prefrers Addi over Cambry. I was never a cat person. My mom is allergic and we never had them growing up but I will say it is growing on me for sure!

Camping?

He was happy to has his girls check it out

Entertainment center

The refrigerator and bunk beds

The living room(I thought we packed light but in that small of a space it did not seem like it)

The view from the back. It has a slide out so it seems bigger.

The master bedroom(the only bedroom)

Girls enjoying and popcorn


They loved the top bunk
Well Brady got a new job in May(not so new anymore). Basically he buys land to put in pipelines. So his work location changes often and they are also in pretty rural areas. He was living in an apartment for the first 6 months but then he bought an RV. He bought a small one and then he decided to upgrade and got a bigger one so we decided to go and visit. I call it camping cause the sign said camping RV grounds. But basically it is where Brady lives when he is not here. It was interesting... when we got there it was like 7 and Cambry slept the whole way up there but she thought the bunk beds were cool so she wanted to go to sleep. Don't worry she did not go to sleep til like 10:30. Then Brady had not got "all the kinks" work out. So we found out it needs a new battery. Not a big deal but the CO2 alarm kept going off. I thought we were going to die of poisioning. I was very close to going home. But Brady had unhooked the propane so he promised it was safe. We survived!!! We will go in the summer, it is right on the lake, has a pool, fishing, paddle boats.

Silly girls

Happy New Year girls!!!
We had a group of friends and their kids over for New Years Eve. We did fireworks with everyone and our neighbors out front. It was a lot of fun. The girls loved the sparklers. The hubbies were old and did not even make it til 12. They were passed out at like 11. My how times have changed!
Cambry started Soccershots. It is like a weekly day where they practice soccer. They do not have games. It is good for her age. The whole class is our friends so they are all having a great time. The 1st day it was so cold. Like 35 and that is cold for us. She made it like 20 minutes. This past week my mom took her while I was at my facial!! She did great though.
Monday was MLK day and we headed to Artworks where they have like 12 different art stations. The girls had a blast. They had homemade playdoh which of course prompted me to make playdoh when I got home. I have not made it with my girls. I made it with the kids I nannied for but not with my girls. They loved it.
The girls got a cute cookbook from my Aunt for Christmas that has different kid friendly desserts to cook. We are going to try to do one once a week. We made chocolate truffles. They were good, I had to try a few.
Tonight we are headed to Brady's new RV out in Luling, TX. Should be interesting.
