Ergie and Fergie

This is Ergie. He was Deacon's Valentine's Day Monster. If you look really close, you can see that he took a bite out of his heart since, like most boys, he thinks love is icky, girly stuff.

This is Fergie...Caroline's V-day Monster. She loves, love and wouldn't dream of taking a bite out of her heart. Here are the two cuties with their monsters on.

So I know this is a bit behind, but after spending so much time making these little monsters they had to go up....even if they were late.

Deacon's 4 year old Pics

If you are thinking that this is a little early, you would be right. Deacon won't really be 4 until March 30, but with us moving this week and such a great location here in Houston we went ahead and took the pics a week early.


" Are we done yet?"

Strong Man!

Such a sweet little guy.

I'm 4! (that's how Daddy showed him to show the 4)

Our Tucson House!

Our Gladden Farms home! We are very excited about it! As you can see it isn't done yet, but should be finished by mid-late April.

This is our courtyard entry way in between the garages.



This is the room that made us fall in love with this house. I am standing in the living room and you are looking at the kitchen and dining room. There will be tons of space for us to have church!


Our backyard....little but average for that area....notice the mountains?


Right before I flew out we had rodeo day at church and Caroline loved the petting zoo!


She kept following the ducks saying "Quack, quack"

Deacon had a lot of fun riding the ponies!

Christmas Morning

Deacon really got into the decorating the spirit this year. He helped me decorate several trees, and didn't see a problem if the ball didn't have a hook. He would just shove it onto the tip of the tree.
Deacon coming down Christmas morning.
All the goodies that Santa left.

Aggie football helmet and a Peter Pan sword...what a combo.

Daddy and Deacon are ready for battle with their swords and shields.

Deacon was so excited about his new pirate treasures.

Mimi and Pawpaw

She loved her shopping cart, but I'm afraid giving her this much extra practice might backfire on me one day.
Little Caroline couldn't decide if she wanted to open presents or go back to bed. She was still tired from the night before!

Reading her new book with Mama.

She found the rest of the Santa's cookies. If he wasn't going to finish them she would. :)

Christmas Catchup

Since I got behind on my blogging once again, I'm going to put all of the Christmas events into one post. :)



The kids coordinating Christmas Outfits!
Deacon getting ready for his School Christmas Program...which involved roughing up monsters.

Caroline showing off her favorite silver boots!

Caroline's Preschool Class. No surprise that she didn't sing any of her songs....she couldn't even say the words Merry Christmas much less sing them, but she did shake her bells.

Deacon's class. He didn't do much singing either, but did have a great time waving and looking at himself on the big screen. :) (One of our friends was running the camera and the kids could see what was being recorded on the camera on 2 big screens on either side of the stage.)

I know what you are thinking...pirate costumes aren't for Christmas....except when you have a Daddy who builds a 20 foot pirate ship to put in a Christmas Parade of Lights.


Here is the back half of the ship. The youth band played songs the whole time.


The family rode in the truck. It took us about 2 hours to go about 10 miles. The kids did great until the end. Caroline was so ready to get out we were trying anything including letting her drive.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving, Grammie, Poppy, and Uncle Davide came to Houston. We even got a family picture in....barely.


Caroline with her turkey shirt.


Getting ready to eat and Deacon is not in a picture mood...notice the bottom lip.



The table set and ready to eat.

Deacon and Daddy playing online before lunch is ready.

Uncle David carving the turkey.
