This is a ball you can get inside!! It is soooo big it doesn't even fit through the door into the house!! (Great, where are you suppose to keep it??)
Drew got his budgie today. Drew named him Stripes. 
Here's a close up!
Drew and his loot!
A paintball gun from Grammy!
Watch out!
It looks like Drew is wearing a globe! Cute!
Needless to say, Drew has had a very happy 9th birthday!Here they're comin' round the corner, here they come...
Now they're jumpin' off the motor home, here they come!!
We are sooo glad you are home!!!!
They got home at 10 am! They had a GREAT time with their grandparents in CO. The boys were missing home and had forgotten what we looked like. Poor things. :( Thank you Grandmommy and Granddaddy for driving the boys to NM and then taking them to CO with you for a fun filled week at Fun Valley. Dan and I had a great time alone; it was nice knowing the boys were safe, loved and having fun. We love you!!!
We are expecting the boys to be home soon. Last we heard it was Monday the 28th...but we might see them tomorrow. We've been getting things ready for their return and enjoying every minute of our time alone; but we are ready to see those boys! I'm sure after 15 days and a birthday for Drew, they are going to look bigger!!! Can't wait!!!
Last weekend we got away and went to Amarillo TX! We stopped at Cadillac Ranch!!
Bring your own spray paint and have fun! Of course, we didn't have any, but it was neat to see what others sprayed.
That night we went to the play "Texas" in Palo Duro Canyon.
It was very lively, entertaining and fun! Can't wait to go back with the boys!
Happy 9th Birthday Drew!!!
I love this picture of you, because this is so you! Always talking about something!!
You always do the funniest things. You are so creative, clever and witty!
And you make a very realistic Abe Lincoln!
You love your pets and if one is good, two is better.
It is hard to believe you are 9 years old. You are such a fun son. A treasure from God and just what I ordered - only better!!Here are a few pictures mom took while the boys were there. 
Bumper Boats!! How fun!
Zach on the rock climbing wall! (he's the one in the gray on the wall)
Drew in the wall!!!
Thank you Grammy for a great week for the boys and some down time for me and Dan! We love you sooo much!
Here we are back in 1994 - finally together again!! Ya'll were visiting mom in Belen NM.
FYI - Click on the pictures and they become bigger! (just incase you didn't know)
Mom and Aunt Loyce - 1994!!! I wonder if any of our kids will have twins??
This was in 1994 too - Julie, you were on a road trip with the kids...We loved seeing you all!! Julie you were so brave traveling alone with all the kids!! Way to go!!
Dan and I holding Wesley. He loves us! We love him!!! That was our first taste of a baby! We were just married! Can't you see the excitement in my face???
Love you all!!! Misty, thank you for reminding me of our first visits. I'm so glad I found my pictures to share with you all!!
On Tuesday the boys, mom and friend Mrs. Cooke rode the Rail Runner from Belen to Alb. to see "Meet Dave". Right across the street from the Alb. Downtown Rail Runner station is a movie theater. How handy is that?
Then the plan for Wednesday is going to Hinkle Family Fun Center. This is the description from the website: http://www.hinklefamilyfuncenter.com/
My boys and my beautiful purple bush! It is finally blooming and I love it!
The boys lovin' on Pluto before they leave...
Dan's parents are here to take the boys to NM to visit Grammy for a week!!! Isn't their new motor home gorgeous?? God is good!! The boys are thrilled about riding in it!
After a week with Grammy in NM, Lord allowing, the boys will go to CO with Dan's parents for a week! We will miss you boys!! But have tons of fun!!! 
After three days of going to the pet store, looking around and leaving empty handed...the boys decided to get a drawf hamster as a pet!
I have never seen two more excited boys.
The sales lady said to put it in the bathtub with you and let it run all over you, so it can get to know your smell and know you are its friend. (and maybe it won't bite you!!)
Isn't it so small and cute??
Zach got it a little ball to run around in!! And Drew bought the hamster and cage with money he has earned and saved from his new job helping clean the office.
The boys named it Armour.
I finally found the background I'd been wanting since I started this blog! I had seen it once; early on and could never find it again. I finally found it today as I was reading different blogs.
Yay!!
This weekend I had a wedding I wanted to go to in Dallas. It was the boy I use to babysit and he was the ring bearer in our wedding. At the last minute Dan couldn't go, so mom flew to Dallas and we went together! Here is mom in our room after a big shopping spree next door at the Outlet Center in Allen TX. Thanks mom for going with me! I had a great time with you!!
I got a few sundresses and mom got some shoes and we bought the boys some clothes and Dan some clothes!
Of course we had to stop at Sam Moon! Mom got some nice pins to wear on her suits!
These are our friends and the grooms parents Merlene and Chuck. They were so happy we came to the wedding!!
Here is the family. Kyle and Jessica are a beautiful couple!!! God is so good!!
