Happy Thanksgiving!

Quick Thanksgiving update...

Gabby and Lainey, at the football playoff game


Our kids are not in this photo. Just a cute one of Collin, Ella, Kate, Cally, and Brooke in College Station for the A&M/Abilene Christian football game.

again, the cousins with Bud and Yiyia at the game

Emmy and Tuck came to visit us in Florida for Thanksgiving. 
We took a quick trip to Everglades National Park near Miami.


Lainey is barefoot because there was water covering the ground at the entrance to one of the hikes. The rest of us just wore our shoes. 

This is a caterpillar that I found (also my hand looks huge). So furry. Not fuzzy. Furry.
Also poisonous (I didn't know that at the time, and it didn't bite me or anything - thankfully). :-/

Lainey drove us home...Tuck is in the passenger seat.

The day before Thanksgiving with my parents' friends Jill and Craig. 


Tuck is not this small. But he looks small compared to Walker.


Walker's turn to drive! He drove Tuck around in the golf cart.

Thanksgiving Day!
We loved our time with Emmy and Tuck. Such a great visit.

Proof that they still tolerate each other...
We watched the miniseries Lonesome Dove for the second time as a family (Emmy and Tuck joined us for three of the four episodes).
It was just as good as the first time (if not better). 

Just a giant snakeskin. Tail to eyeballs. Crazy!

Gracie, sleeping like a human, hugging a pillow. :)

Super Bowl Champions!

Walker's amazing team won the Flag Football Super Bowl for 13/14 year-old boys! The BEST group of families and coaches. We were SO lucky!

Walker caught the game-winning touchdown. Go Walker!

Walker and Jacob

listening to the speeches





just a cute picture of Lainey hugging her friend, Sofia :)

She loves him.

Halloween! (And other things...)

Walker caught a fish BEFORE he went trick-or-treating! 2 pounds!
I hope the "non-smile" doesn't become a thing. :( Boo.

Chase, Jacob, Walker, and Josh, about to head out to trick-or-treat

Lainey and her friends Gabby and Berlin, prior to trick-or-treating in our neighborhood
(They were fighters? Boxers? No idea.)
