We had our pictures taken by our bestest friend Tabitha Johnson who is a professional photographer. She did an amazing job. Her business is called TFJ Photograpy and she is local to the DFW area. If anyone wants her information, please ask and I would be happy to get you in contact with her.

Reality Check

I got my first 'reality check' in a long time. I have had several over the years, usually when I have screwed up, dissapointed someone or the biggest one was in 1999 when the pregnancy test showed two lines (that one was huge!)

Well, I had another one last night... smaller than the two lined test, but one none-the-less. I went grocery shopping last night after the kids went to bed. We were out of just about everything! We have spent the past few nights eating out (that's how bare the pantry was). I spent more than I ever had in one trip... in one months worth of groceries even. $300!! And that was with almost $173 worth of coupons and savings.

These kids are getting bigger and eating more and more! We buy nearly 10 gallons of milk a month, and every week go through nearly 3 boxes of cereal (Neal is the main reason for that), 1 1/2 boxes of Capri Sun juice drinks (they have 10 in each) and almost 2 loafs of bread.

We have been in school for a month and a half now, and I just realized that I have not posted our school pictures yet.


LOGAN: Is in 2nd grade and his teacher is Mrs. Todd. We just got his first report card and he got one B and the rest were A's.

























ADRIENNE: Is in her last year of Bible Bears and is in the Bridge Program which has a Kindergarten curriculum but in a Preschool setting. Her teacher is Ms. Shawna (Logan had her when he was in the same program in 2005)


























LANIE: Is in the 3 year old class and her teacher is Ms. Cindy. She is enjoying learning how to write her name, use scissors, painting and seeing all her old friends again after a long summer.

The weather has been so nice lately, we have been playing outside a lot! Logan lost his other front tooth... with the help of his sister, Adrienne... she bumped him into the rocket swing and knocked it out. Opps!

Needless to say... she did not finish her dinner.

Adrienne's 5th Birthday

Our brave little girl got her ears pierced for her birthday!

Lets make pretzels!

We have been doing all sorts of fun stuff this summer... most recently we went to the mall where we got to go behind the counter at Auntie Ann's pretzel shop and got to make our very own pretzels.
