After watching Sleepless in Seattle, Cambry couldn't resist dancing to the music while the credits rolled. Enjoy our little ballerina!

Let's Rodeo San Antonio!

Going to the rodeo each year has become a fun family tradition. We took the kids out of school early and they thought that was pretty cool.

Here piggy, piggy. Here piggy, piggy!

Cole put on a tough face, but he wasn't feeling well all day. He was a good sport to get on all the rides with Caulder. Later that night he had a fever of 103.3. I felt so bad for him.

Last year, Cambry didn't like the petting zoo at all. Not much changed this year. She faked a smile and tried to mingle with the animals, but I don't think she could get past the smell.


Best Buds!


You can never have too much cotton candy...

...or food of any kind for that matter! No turkey legs this year though. We heard that each leg had 1200 calories and decided it wasn't worth it(not that the $8 price tag had anything to do with it)!

Cambry's New Do

Tuesday morning as I was combing Cambry's hair she started to complain that it hurt. This is a frequent response I get. So I said "Do you want me to just cut your hair off?" Her response was not what I expected. She got a really excited and said "Yes, yes I want it to be like Nixans." So this was our Tuesday night activity.

BEFORE...

DURING...AFTER Eight inches off.

She loves it. She's been flipping her head around and twirling around all morning.

She's my little Diva!

Happy Birthday Cole!!

DIG IN! Watch out, here comes Taite!

Cole was frustrated with the whole skating thing at first. But, he became a pro real fast and helped teach the others.

Bre's just taking the baby for a little cruise.

I think this would be called 'snow plowing' if Ben were wearing skis.

Daddy/Daughter bonding. Really, it was a workout trying to hold them up.

At one point during the night; Tyler, Tiffany and I (the in-laws) realized we were all hanging out on the benches while our spouses tore it up on the rink. It was funny, we realized we couldn't hang with them. We heard lots of skating stories about the good ol'days.

My Fam's Visit to SA

Hard at Work!

Nothin's free. You've got to earn your stay!
Thanks for your help!

Trans Siberian Orchestra!

My mom, dad, Brigham, and Todd all got to see the Transyberian Orchestra perform. It was more like a rock concert but it was sooo cool. It took a while to get our hearing back to normal.

So awesome!!

Fiesta Texas!

Cambry had to give each of these characters a hug and a kiss after the pictures were taken.

"Boring...where are the real rides?"

I had to convince cambry that this was fun.

The kids waited over an hour to sled down this 'bunny hill'. My family thought it was hilarious.

Just goofing off while we wait in line.

Cole's no fear of heights made us all nervous on the Ferris Wheel.

Witte Museum

We loved the hands on experiments at the Witte Museum, especially my Dad.


The faces my dad pulls crack me up!

We learned about the digestive system @ an experiement they did. Caulder got to hold the large intestine that reached across the room.

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.

Strattons in the Hood!

Bad boys, bad boys - watcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they come for you?
