"Deck The Halls!"


Karsyn takes dance at the School of the Arts at the church. Yes, dance in the Baptist Church! Don't tell! Anyway, she got to participate in our Deck the Halls services at church! ALL 3 of them! The girls did great in all of the services, however, my favorite was the last service. Karsyn had spotted her friends, McKenna, Libbie and Ashton sitting in the balcony on the opposite side of the worship center! She would soon end up in that area for a short time while the big girls danced and then was to join with them to finish! During this brief interlude, she proceeded to get her friends attention by jumping up and down and waving! Luckily they waved back and she was able to finish her routine! It was too funny!! They were all so cute!

Run Kaleb! Run!



You know how Forrest Gump just kept running??? Well... Kaleb is not far behind! Let me start from the beginning! Kaleb and Garry had signed up to run the Believe Race here in McKinney! Kaleb signed up for the 1 mile fun run and Garry for the 5K (3 miles)! The races started at the same time and the trails were marked for each run! At the word "GO", they were off! At least 150 runners! My mom, Karsyn and I were anxiously awaiting our boys to cross the finish line. The race began at 8am and we expected Kaleb at about 8:15 and Garry not far behind at 8:20 or so! Well, 8:15 came and went and no Kaleb! 8:20 came and went and still no Kaleb! Garry crossed the finish at about 8:24 and said he had passed Kaleb on the 5K trail, but didn't realize it was him until a little later! What??? Yes, he had gotten off of the mile trail and somehow stayed with 5K group!! Our little runner crossed the line at 8:39 after running what started out as 1 mile and turned into 3!!! He couldn't believe it! He just knew we were going to be worried sick! Garry ran down the hill to meet him and they ran across the finish line together! Priceless picture! We are so proud of both of them! Kaleb just wishes he had signed up for the 5K so he could have placed! Next time!!

Family Pictures!

So, it is always a chore in itself to get everyone ready and out the door for pictures! Add an unexpected drop in the temperature and lots of wind!! However, the elements were not going to stop us from getting a head start on the holiday season! (i.e. Christmas card pics)! Our wonderful friend Lea was a trooper as well as she posed us and snapped over 50 pictures! Thank you! Lea! We love you! Here are just a few!
