Pictures

As you can see by the Christmas card we were able to take some current pictures(thanks to Cory's parents). We took the pictures in Frisco at one of the business parks...it was a very windy day.

Here are some of the other pictures we took that did not make the Christmas card.

Here is an example of a windy hair picture...

We could not just take pictures of us :+)

I like to look back at all the pictures we have taken over the years to see how we have changed.
Perhaps, I should do a post on that....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

More....ICE

Here is the video of Cory going down the Ice slide.

Here is the video of me going down the Ice slide and yes this was my third time :+)

See the rest of the post below...

ICE!!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Gaylord Texan to see the amazing Ice exhibit.

They kept the exhibit at 8 degrees...at least that is what I heard someone say while we were inside.

We had so much fun...this is a great place for children and for kids at heart.

This years theme was Who-ville from How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The pictures don't do it it justice. I found it literally breath taking.

There was about 10 or so rooms full of uniquely carved statues.

Such great eye candy!!!!

They even had a room with two ICE slides.

Towards the end they had this awesome Nativity Scene.

Don't do it!!!!

There were Christmas trees everywhere!!!

These were real Gingerbread Men.

We had so much fun going to the Gaylord ICE exhibit.
I want to make it a yearly tradition.

Don't you hate it when things break???

So, our disposal broke and when I say broke I mean it was nasty.
FYI- what you are about to see is beyond gross, just a warning!!!!!!

Cory and his Dad taking out the old nasty disposal.

Yes, they used the directions. They also had help from two furry animals.

Ta-da!!!!
The new wonderful, quiet disposal with twice the power as the old nasty one.

Isn't she beautiful?
It must be a sign that I'm getting old because I got excited about a new disposal.
What will excite me next???
A new faucet....

Good bye

Fall......

Hello Christmas!!!

This year we decided to not have a traditional tree. I borrowed all these ornaments from my sister, she has a different theme every year and I liked this one.
Since this picture, I have added the tree skirt so it looks much better but at least you get the idea.
