Let it Snow!

Cambry's first time in the snow!


It was so cold but Cambry didn't care. She loved sledding...as long as I carried her sled to the top of the hill.


Cambry and my brother's dog, Ginger. She felt bad he had to stay out in the cold.








Congratulations Cindy!

Tim and Cindy sang Romeo and Juliet while Amber rocked it out on the dance floor. This girl has some moves! It was hilarious.


Abby and Cambry
The reception was in a museum so there were lots of displays to entertain the kids.





We hung out in the visitor center while we waited for Tim and Cindy to come out.

Lovin' The Cool Weather!

Nixan and Taite spent the day with us on Saturday. It's finally cool enough to enjoy the outdoors. After we went to the park we enjoyed biking, chalking, and playing basketball at the house.

Makeover: Bedroom Edition

I thought I would show some pictures of Cambry's new room. I wanted to redo it for a while but kept putting it off (no ambition to paint again). Thanks to Bre's help, we had it completed in a day!

Any guesses what Cambry's favorite color is?



She loves playing dress up. This is her little dress up corner where she can reach her collection of princess dresses and check herself out in the mirror (she gets that from her dad!).

Cutie Patootie!

Cambry never passes up an opportunity to get her picture taken.
I love that she can be such a girly girl!



She has to add her own personal touch, of course!


Fun at the Witte Museum!

When hurricane Ike touched down in Houston, the Dinhs, unfortunately, had to evacuate while they waited for power and water to resume at their home. Fortunately for the families in San Antonio, we got to spend some fun times together.


There were lots of educational windows we 'looked' at real fast.


"Faster he's catching us!"
Bailey and Brice were great sports with my corny photo shots.
The 3rd level of the museum was all hands on. Bailey, Brice, and Cambry had fun trying to pull themselves to the top of the tower using pulleys with different tensions.

Cole can ride a bike on a rope 30 ft. above ground with ease!
Caulder and Bailey also succeeded at this event.
Make some noise!
We were definately the loudest group there (I know that's hard to believe). They could drum and make different sounds with different tools on the roof of the museum. Noise is encouraged.

Now here's a couple professional musicians!
They actually did get good at playing some songs on the PVC pipes.


We love our cousins!


The Ninjas and a "Who"??!!

Trick or Treat!
After we went around the block trick or treating, Cambry told me, "I thought everyone was going to laugh at my costume, but they all wanted to take my picture." She was so cute as Cindy Lou Who! About four of our neighbors insisted on taking Cambry's picture after they gave her candy - and, of course, she posed for each one!


Caulder, Cole and some of their friends from church were all Ninja Warriors.


How about that hair? Too funny!


After we went to the church for the Trunk or Treat we came home to pass out candy to the trick or treaters. Caulder and Cole made them each work for their candy. Caulder told the trick or treaters they had to do a trick, then they would receive the number they scored in candy. Caulder would say, "That was ok, you can have 5 peices of candy." They were all good sports about it and the moms thought it was hilarious. It was pretty entertaining.


The perfect Cindy Lou Who!
