Sweet 16!!!

I am a little slow in sharing the pictures, here is our DS recent 16th Birthday celebration. Gosh, they do grow up awful fast, don't they...

That's modern times for you, he really, really wanted to have a teeth whitening kit since he got his braces off, my frugal self was delaying it as long as possible, did I mention that I got the over $30 kit for free....still makes for a nice and much wished for gift.

Shocked...

My teenage DS had his UIL marching competition this past Saturday. The band performed very well, but were greatly disappointed to receive a rating of 2, 3, 3.



Okay, my shock was that I looked over to see my son's new private saxophone tutor (head band person at WTAMU) sitting in the stands near us. He arrived at 3:00pm and my son's band was scheduled to perform at 3:16pm. Surely, I thought, he must know someone here in another schools band.


I couldn't believe my eyes, he promptly got up from his seat after my DS band's performance and exited the stands, I had just started over to talk with him and he was gone....


I am still in shock. He called the home this afternoon, to rearrange their private lesson date and time and said that 'yes' he had come just to see my son's band perform!!!


This is a very busy college level instructor who only took on our son about 3 weeks ago as a private student and he took the time to drive over 30 minutes one way to see him perform, in a marching performance that only lasted 8 minutes.


Can you say a big, WOW!!!



Needless to say, our son was practicing this afternoon and evening for about 3 hours on his saxophone for his lesson tomorrow, even he was impressed....


Can you say GO BUFFALOES!!!

Just Singing and Dancing and Playing In The Rain

My littlest DS just loves, loves, loves to play outside and when it is drizzling is no exception. It was a little chilly, but he had waited all day very patiently....I couldn't deny him any longer...adorable little guy I think!!!

Archived Family Photos

It's amazing the ancient treasures that can be stored away in the vaults only to be discovered in the future. No really, I didn't realize that our digital camera had a built in memory, I thought all of it's memory was on the picture chips, so when I accidentally dislodged the memory chip without realizing and went to scan my recent picture loads, I was shocked to find some family photos from 2004. These are some photos of mine and my husband's family and a few of our kids, makes for some nice memories. Also, I think these might be some of our only noted pictures of our remodeled front room, drastic remodel changes took place.

As we approach this Thanksgiving season, it is nice to be reminded of your family. I am privileged to have a few photos from a rare merging of our two families in the same room. For that I am thankful for the memories.

My how we have all changed over the years...

Two Little Helpers and Good Playmates

Today was a beautiful Fall day. We just couldn't resist to get outside very early and play with the sidewalk chalk, trike, etc.

Then later before nap time, we made over 90 pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, our special treat for the High School band kids as they are traveling to a game tonight over 1 1/2 hr one way from home.

Did I mention, I love Fall!!! More photos to review...http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/PLNEWHOU/Two%20Little%20Playmates/

Do You Believe In Celebrating Praises?!?

My DH has a great praise report:

Today one of his co-workers told him that his advice was a tremendous blessing to her family. She had told DH that her neonate grand baby who was born at less than 1 lb and significantly premature and unlikely to survive about 5 months ago, was unable to be released from the hospital because the family had been unable to successfully transition her to feeding from a bottle. They were devastated and didn't know what to do...My DH shared that we had tremendous success with Dr. Brown's bottles and why don't they try them (all he could remember is that I was having difficulty and had tried 5 different bottle types and many more types of nipples to no avail). That was yesterday.

Today the grandmother was thrilled, her daughter went out and was able to purchase the bottles at WalMart and the baby was able to successfully bottle feed 8 oz at one time!!!

That is a praise report!!!

If you haven't heard of Dr. Brown's unique bottles and vent system, check it out!!!
