Happy Birthday Patrick

Patrick turned 12 on Sunday, we had plans to get together with Hayley and let the boys celebrate December 11 together. While we were getting ready to fix steak we found out that Dad was taken to the ER for chest pain.  After moving to ICU and a bit of heart surgery Dad is doing better. The best news is that Dad is home now and ready for us all to visit him. We love you Dad.

Gaylord Ice and Milkshakes

We got to visit with Marme over our Thanksgiving Break. Patrick and Alison always have fun visiting with her and it is a bonus when she brings Jarod with her as well. We went to Grapevine to the Ice Exhibit at the Gaylord. The hotel was very impressive with lots of places to get pictures, we just had to get a bit creative to keep all of the strangers out of our shots. Ice was fun, but cold. I still have not mastered pictures in low light so most of mine were blurry.

 We had lunch at Steak and Shake, I think Patrick and Alison have a new favorite.

After the Ice exhibit, we went to Snow, featuring Kung Fu Panda Plunge. 

Videos of Patrick and Alison tubing down the Kung Fu Panda Plunge.

Videos will not show up on phones, you will have to visit the blog.

The Planets

Alison has been singing about the planets for weeks now. I knew almost all of the songs in time for the 3rd grade play. The best part about it was that it was short and sweet. Alison is still convinced that she wants to take drama classes... or dance..... or gymnastics....
