The Cobras

Carson is playing indoor soccer this winter. He is on a team with a bunch of boys that he plays football with, and they are called The Cobras. Grancie and Robin came to their first game, and we stopped for a quick picture on the way out of the gym. These are the only pictures I have of his season so far...I'm planning on getting a few of him next weekend in action!

American Girl Store...1st Visit...For Sure Not the Last!

We went to The American Girl Store at The Galleria today! Grancie got the girls their very own American Girl doll for Christmas, so Sam and I gave them a trip to The American Girl Store as part of their Christmas present from us! We ate lunch, and got some primping for the dolls! Chels met us with Abby, and we shopped after lunch. It was the best day I could have asked for to end the winter break! The pictures in this post are all out of order, but it's all about the memories!! :)
Chels took 2 pictures of our trio, and I liked both, even though Ellie had "scary eyes" on the 1st one! :)

Emmy got her doll, Emory's, ears pierced as her treat.

My sweeties waiting for the dolls to get primped.

At lunch the dolls got their very own high chairs.

$15 Spaghetti and meatballs that my girls didn't take 3 bites of! Ugh!! Oh well, Caden ate them for dinner tonight! :)

They had a spot to hold your doll in the bathroom stall! So cool!!

Abby!! Ate perfect, shopped perfect...couldn't ask for a sweeter baby!! Can't wait for another trip to The American Girl Store with this baby girl!

Emmy with her strawberry muffin! She loved this part of her meal! :)

Fruit kabobs that were shaped like stars and hearts! So fun!


Ella Cate!

Ready for lunch!





Heading up to lunch at The American Girl Doll Store

This pic makes me laugh!! A girl of my own for sure!! Ella bought a watch with her Christmas $$ from Uncle Caleb. Soon after she realized her sissy was going to Justice to spend her $$ from Uncle Caleb. Seconds later El wanted to return her watch to have $ to shop at Justice! :)

Here are my hungry girls!! They didn't eat a bite of their gourmet meals at The American Girl Store, so we stopped at McDonalds in The Galleria! Ha!! :)

Ellie picking up her doll after she was finished having her hair styled. She also has the water bottle she picked at Justice with her Christmas $ from Uncle Caleb!

Sweet girlfriends for life!!

They watched The Galleria Christmas tree being taken down!! Kinda sad, but what a neat day that I will NEVER forget!!!

Bringing in 2012!!

We had a great New Year's Eve!! First and foremost the temps that day reached the low 70's, and it was amazingly gorgeous! To make the most of our day we had a picnic at Hooper park. We didn't even have to wear jackets!! As you can tell, in our picnic picture it was a little sunny and windy, but still unbelievable weather!

This is out of order, but on NYE night we ate at Chuy's and saw Footloose at the $1 Movies! Fun family times!!

More park fun...Ella Belle with her new scooter that she got for Christmas!

Pic-nicing!

Mastering the monkey bars!


Trying to feed ducks that weren't the least bit hungry! :)


Walking the trails!


Soccer practice! Carson's 1st indoor game is this Saturday!



A little b-ball and scooter time! What a fun NYE!!!

Holiday in The Park...round 2!

Last Thursday Chels and I decided to hit Holiday in The Park one more time before it was over, and I'm so glad that we did! It was WAAAYYY crowded, but the kids still did plenty! We hung out at the park until dinner time, and then we headed to Mariano's for a yummy Mexican food dinner! Fun times and many memories made!! :) I'm sad I only took 2 pics of the evening with my phone! I need to be better!

The Mexican Hat!...maybe it's called The Sombrero...who knows!!

Orbeez Spa!!

One of Emma's Christmas presents was an Orbeez Spa! That was the main gift that she asked Santa for, and it has been thoroughly enjoyed! Even her big bro got in on the fun! :)

Putt-Putt

On Monday of our second week of winter break we spent the afternoon at Putt-Putt. We ate pizza, played games, and bought prizes with tickets! A fun time was had by all!

Ella spinning the wheel for tickets!

Dark i-phone picture, but Cade and Ella were working together! :)

Buying prizes!
