Whew...What a Week!

I am not sure why, but I cannot seem to find the time to take pictures, blog, and check up on all my favorite blogs! I was doing pretty good keeping all of those things at the top of my priority list : ) before we moved, but I have been totally thrown off for the past month!
We had a busy week full of many blog worthy happenings, but I only captured a few : (...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday we all woke up to a super surprise...DFW had experienced a ice storm, and school was cancelled for the day. We stuck around the house for the morning, and then we headed to the gym. After that we ran a few errands, ate at Chik-fil-A, and made a stop at Barnes and Noble to let everyone pick out a book. This was when all of the ice was melting off of our roof

Emmy concentrating hard on her picture


Carson dressed up as a Power Ranger and "hung" around : )



Later in the day Ella Cate was all blinged out, she was also sporting a bit of spaghetti sauce or ketchup on her face

Thursday was Rodeo Day at the kids' preschool. They have Rodeo Day to correlate with the Fort Worth Stock Show that is running right now. The little ones dressed up in their cowboy and cowgirl best....

Emma Claire, Carson, and Ella Cate



Ellie and her very best "cheeese"

Saturday Cade had a basketball game, and Grancie, Robin and G-Dad came to watch. He made the winning basket right at the buzzer in the 4th quarter! We were so proud of him!! No camera in sight! ; ( After the game we headed home and enjoyed the beautiful day in our backyard. Sam decided we should knock down the ugly barbecue pit in the middle of our yard, so that project became a family affair! After the demolition we met at Spaghetti Warehouse to celebrate Nathan's (my nephew) 13th birthday. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! Cade lucked out and got to spend the night with his cousin!


The girls loving their red cars before the demolition began...



a "before" shot of the ugly bbq pit...my photographer buddy would tell me that the lighting was ALL WRONG on this shot!


Cade knocked lots of bricks down



Carson and his sword succeeded

Sunday we had a fun evening at the Williford's Superbowl party. Lots of cute photo-ops with no camera to capture the moments! Here's to a week of being a better photographer and blogger!

I love Carson's costume...I remember when we got it in Austin! That's sad that you knocked your poor kitty's house down. Now you'll HAVE to let her in the house!
