Branson

We went to Branson a couple of weekends ago with Laura, Josh and Ayla. We intended on going to Silver Dollar City but it rained the whole time and we had to settle on looking at lights from the car. It was still nice to get away.

Breakfast with Santa

We took Beck to the Breakfast with Santa at ACH a couple of weeks ago. The picture turned out almost identical to last years, except Brad is in it instead of me.

Blast from the Past

We attended a high school reunion a few weeks ago at Sacred Heart. It was a reunion for all classes. There were five of us from the class of '96 and Brad was the only one from '94.

Many things were re-discovered that night.

1. We are getting old.

2. My friends and I use WAY TOO MANY hand gestures in front of a camera.

3. I should NEVER drink wine from a box.

4. I have the best niece ever.

5. Waffle House at 3:00 in the morning always seems like a good idea, but never really is.

Miracles at Christmas

I also went to the Miracles at Christmas event last weekend with Sandra and Laura. They had dinner and an auction, but this picture and a hangover was all I took home.

Ayla's Birthday Party

We went to Ayla's third birthday party last weekend in Morrilton. Beck had a blast and was talking about the hayride for days afterward. He even prayed about it at night...God Bless Mommy, Daddy, Maddux, Grammy, Granddad, Grandmama, Granddaddy, Hayride, etc. He also had his first experience on a trampoline. It almost caused us to miss the unwrapping of the birthday gifts.

Jump Zone

We went to Evan Sowell's Birthday Party at Jump Zone today. It was quite the workout.

Danielle Davis Photography

We had some family portraits done this morning with Danielle Davis who is a girl I went to college with. She has just started doing photography and she did a fantastic job and was SO great with Beck. Here are some sneak peeks she sent. I can't wait to see the rest.

The Haunted Hospital

I went to the Haunted Hospital in NLR with Laura and Sandra. We stood in line for over two hours. Was it worth it? Not so sure. But we did have time to take some dorky pictures.

Trick-or-Treating

We went trick-or-treating in Morrilton on Halloween. We only went to three places but that was plenty.

Halloween Party

Beck had his party at day care on Friday. It pretty much consisted of the kids dressing up and eating junk food. After the party we went to the Cristlers and let the boys play.

Pumpkin Carving

New Toy

I'm amazed at what a 2-year-old can do with an iphone.
