Happy Valentine's Day!

1/2 Snow Day!

The weather is horrible in Lubbock today if you have to get out in it (but quite pretty from inside the warm cozy house). Lubbock ISD did not cancel school today so neither did Caden & Jace's school. I got brave and took them to school and headed to work. The roads were really not too bad at that time. However, once lunch time rolled around and I had to pick them up from school, I noticed that the roads had gotten worse. So I have decided to take a 1/2 snow day!

We hope everyone has a happy and safe afternoon.

Good School Day

Today was Career Day for Caden. Last week when we talked about what she wanted to be when she grows up, she decided she wants to be a chef. She came up with this one all on her own, too. So we borrowed some things from Grammy & Papaw's house and dressed Caden up as a chef for school today. The chef hat is actually a Santa chef hat, but I think she pulled it off well!

Jace wanted to be in these pictures, but didn't want to smile. Little toot.

However, once we got him to school this morning he was great! He walked right into his classroom this moring, ready for a fun day. He did not cling to me and he did not even cry! I was amazed and so proud. Yay! He likes going to school now.

I was tagged by Ashley! You are supposed to pick your 4th picture folder & display the 4th picture.

On my laptop I have a picture of baits! If you needs some head over to alluringbaits.com. Hehehe!


I also checked the 4th pic in the 4th folder on my computer at work and found this one. Amber, me and Ash - I believe it was taken Easter weekend in April 2006 and Amber was pregnant with the twins.

Bailey Morgan Blake

She is here! Bailey Morgan Blake was born at 11:23 this morning! She weighes 6lbs 3 oz and is 19.5 inches long. Cricket and Bailey are both doing great.
Congratulations Cricket and Nick! I can't wait for the pictures!!!!

Big Dad's Santa Land

On the Eve of Christmas Eve, Caden and Jace were invited to Big Dad's Santa Land! Halle, Chad's daughter, invited them and other friends to her Grandparents house to look at the lights and Christmas blow-ups. Caden was so excited to get to spend some time with Halle again. The last time they played at Halle's house they had such a great time.
The entire trip over to Big Dad's house, Caden was trying to remember Halle's name. She would call her Sally or Holly - everything but Halle. However, by the time we got there she was saying, "I know her name is Halle, right?" Later that evening we found out that Halle had a hard time remembering Caden's name, too. She was calling her Kate! I thought it was perfect!
Halle took Caden and Jace out to the backyard to show them the lights and the blow-ups. They loved them. My favorite was the leg lamp - too funny!

The dog loved trying to lick the candy cane off of Jace's face!

The kids spent most of the time in the swing.

This is baby Tess, Halle's little sister. I think she looks like her Daddy!

Enjoying the hot chocolate.

This picture was taken on the way back to the truck. I just love the pigtails in the wind!

The kids had a great time playing and I had a great time catching up with Chad. We do not get to talk much anymore since we are working on different projects now. Thank you to The Henthorns for thinking of us and having us over. We enjoyed it!

Baby Bailey

I received an email last night letting me know that my college roommate will be having her baby girl really soon. Cricket will be induced on Tuesday, January 20th - unless Bailey decides to come earlier! I am so excited for Cricket and Nick. I hope to have some pictures and updates by the end of next week!
