Christmas 2011

We saw a different Santa Claus this year. We were able to spend some time with him and visit. Then we decorated cookies and socialized a bit.

Christmas was great this year. Jules was sent an Elf on the Shelf and named her Sophie. She visited both Mom and Dad's houses to keep an eye on the kiddo. Jules enjoyed seeing where she would perch from day to day.

Ella's First Birthday Party!

Ella turned one on September 30, 2011. Her birthday party was October 1.


Happy Birthday Sweet Ella!

Her daddy, Jules' Uncle Buck made her fabulous birthday cake!

September 2011

Football season! The Longhorn Network started this year (:/) So we had to find a friend with the channel and crash their house to watch the first game of the season!


Jules and her dad took their first trip to Disney World. She had a blast and is still (6 months later!) talking about it.

Summer 2011

A few picture updates from last year. Quick catch up.
May 2011 - Rangers Game with family :)

We went Roller Skating for the first time in July 2011! She did wonderfully. So brave!

Aunt Mereny brought her back a beautiful dress from her and Buck's vacation trip to Mexico.


At Kenyon's 4th birthday party

Ella stayed with us for a week, so some summertime fun.

Dance Recital

Jules had her dance recital Wednesday.
She is really enjoying dance.
I have never been good at dance... so I'm kind of amazed at a) how much Jules likes it... and b) that she's good at it!

Here are a couple of pictures.
We ordered the dvd of the dance... and I recorded the dress rehearsal on Monday. I'm trying to get it on youtube... so maybe I can post it on here afterward. (I am low tech... so trying to figure that stuff out takes time for me.) :)



I have better pictures on my camera, but haven't yet uploaded them.

Palm Sunday Egg Hunt

We went to church with Grammy and Gramps today... and Aunt Mereny and Ella met us for the egg hunt.

It was Ella's first egg hunt, and seeing how she isn't walking yet (not yet 7 months old), I think she enjoyed herself. :)

Jules had a lot of fun too.

2011 update

Over spring break we tagged along with Aunt Mereny and Ella to visit their family in San Antonio and just take a break.
The San Antonio Zoo was fun.





Her birthday was lots of fun... with just a few wrinkles due to their air conditioning being out.
It's very funny... last year it snowed on her birthday, and this year it was 90 degrees and there were A/C issues!
