My Sister inlaw Lorri & her Husband were gracious enough to invite us to spend 4th of July weekend at their new house, in Austin. we had a blast swimming in the pool and boating, tubing and wakeboarding on Lake Austin. And my Brother inlaw's famouse boiled shrimp dinner. This is video of their amazingly beautiful house.

Having a blast, swimming at my Brother inlaw's & ister inlaw's house in Austin, Tx. 4th of July style.

We recently spend a day at the lake, this is Cayson(at 2 yr old) & Cambree(at 9 yrs old) playing in the water. cayson wanted to go to the deeper end.

Took a trip to Port Neches Park, it was a beautiful day. Cayson made a beeline for the "weeeee"...it's what he calls the slide. You can hear Chloe telling me to "go down there Daddy" as if she wants me to be down at the end of the slide to catch him. But Cayson decided he wanted to slide by himself.

After a long day watching Sesame Street Live, Cayson fell asleep on the way home. I tried waking him up by tickling him but he just smiled while sleeping lol

We've got a new printer and decided to save a lil money and print out the kids Valentines Day cards, for their classmates, at school. this was Cayson's 1st experiance with the printer....he wasn't too sure about it. lol

It's Feb 2009, Cayson is 20 months now and he's beginning to say more and more complex words and is trying to complete sentences but, for now, his sentences sound more like he's speaking another language from another planet. In this video he tries to say "cookie" but almost doesn't get it out because he has a mouth full of cookie, but he suceeds lol

The kids got shiny new bikes from Santa.

My 5 yr old, Chloe(bear) must had been a good girl this year...she got a new Bratz bike, from Santa, Christmas morning. This is her and Cayson riding their new modes of transportation on our porch.

My parents live in Oklahoma, which is and 8 hour trip...if I drive it's more like a 10 hour trip. We don't get to see them often, so it's a special treat for the kids when they get birthday and Christmas gifts.

Cambree was required to write a Christmas rhyme at school. She didn't do to bad! 8-)

My nephew, Micah, has Caudal regression syndrome, which is a rare disorder in which there is abnormal fetal development of the lower spine. But he doesn't let it stop him, in fact, he gets around better than most of us. This is him, doing his new trick, walking on his hands.

Tuesday December 9th, in Southeast Texas, it was muggy and 70 degrees...less than 2 days later, we've got SNOW!!

Cayson's a little over 18 months now...and he's becoming his own little person with his own lil personality...now he's developed his own language...and apparently he loves Spongebob 8-)

This is video of my 8 yr old, Cambree, doing the Cha Cha Slide, with , my 1&1/2 yr old, Cayson, trying to do it too. My kids are dancing freaks!!! lol

This is one of the songs they sang during the program. Cambree is the one with the pony tail, front row, 5th from the right.

This kid'll dance to anything!!!!!!! It's so funny to watch him dance to almost every song he hears, no matter if it's a song on the radio or music they put in a commercial on TV. LOVE it! lol

Cambree, being scared by the ghost in the windows lol A lil Halloween fun!

Chloebear & Cayson having fun playing on the trampoline.

Cayson and Chloe spent part of the day, today, having fun and jumping on the trampoline. Chloe decided she wanted to show us her new trick...it was hilarious what happened. It's towards the end of the video, so be patient.
