Victoria Livestock Show 2010

Being new in town, I didn't know we had a livestock show, but my good friend Tamara let us in on what's going on in Victoria. These pictures are from the fairway, but we did venture into the actual Livestock show. It was a nice size and we covered it all just in time for a couple of the four boys to start melting down. It's so nice to have mommy friends and even more comforting when they get your exact situation.. and it is a situation most of the time :)

In the In Between Time...

We all had to rush to give RayRay some hugs as she went through a roller-coaster of doctor stuff. It was a very confusing time but better to be together than apart! She is doing AMAZING! Pray for her still as she starts radiation next week.

When you are cousins, born two days apart, there will be LOTS of pictures, forever!

A little TLC for the RayRay.

Moments with My Boys

Freshly bathed Major

Kept forgetting I had this gingerbread house because I hid it. The weather was so cold for so long, I finally got it out and we gave it a try. Not my fav activity. They mostly just wanted to eat all the candy. Not interested in decorating at all!

Major forgot his tennis racket and other necessities to hang with the preps.

Yes, I took these myself.

Sharing ice cream is real love, if you ask me.

Valentines Hoopla

Valentine's Hand-prints

Valentine's cookies

You can almost hear the angels singing as he celebrates.

Hudson, one of my Valentine's, got Flicker the flashlight, a VW van that was an obvious necessity, and a marshmallow heart.

Major's loot was similar but he got a Handy Manny cell phone that seemed to be a hit.

Teddy Bear marshmallow from RayRay and Champ.

Charity Ball 2009

On our way to Charity Ball

I loved getting all dressed up. It had been awhile. I also love the mixture of being dressed up and having our little rug rats in their PJs right there, in the middle of it all. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Shout out to RayRay and Champ for some serious NYE baby-sitting!

Midnight Toast

Cheers!

There was a little dancing and a fun band.

Grandma Jones went home to her Savior on Februray 16th, 2010. I'm so glad we got to gather for some Jones family bonding not too long ago. What a blessing to have these memories!

Setting up for a picture with Grandma Jones and the grandchildren and great-grand children

Love this picture as Grandma Jones is obviously smiling and loving it all. Even with the bucking bronco, Hudson, in the background.
