</div><div align="center">The kids had SO much fun, they look forward to all TCU events (i promise, they are not brain washed, they have the freedom to go to any school they would like ;)) Austin & I had tons of fun watching the kids and had the opportunity to catch up with a few of our old college friends as well.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">We had special visits from the Easter Bunny & Super Frog - luckily Cooper has overcome her fear of giant characters and no longer screams and cries when they come within a 50 mile radius. Our last TCU Easter hunt didn't fair too well when it came to the big guys. </div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had the opportunity to spend some time yesterday with a few of my oldest and dearest friends. I'll re-state from Tanna's blog...she did the math and we've known each other for ~18 years!! Lauren and I met in elementary school, and I met Tanna in middle school, we remain in each other's circle of friend from there on. Through all of life's adventures, we remained in contact and had the opportunity to get together yesterday with all of our kids. Between the three of us we had SEVEN little ones! It was so much fun to watch them interact & catch up with my girls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">God is great! It's so comforting to have real discussions with old friends and to discuss how the Lord has moved in each of our lives shaping the people and families that we have today. I love that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">These girls and their families are so special! Much love to you girls!! XOXO</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not TOMs the shoes, which are cool too, but Tom’s of Maine, the naturally sourced, good environmental steward company that manufacturers toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, deodorant & floss. [This is not a paid advertisement blog post, I promise, but if Tom’s wants to throw me some free product, I would not be opposed!] So, you may know one of my best friends in the whole universe, Stacey [<a href="http://themohrthemerrier.blogspot.com/">The Mohr the Merrier</a>], she is a crazy new found all natural goddess. I can only aspire to have the time and know-how to make my own hummus & freeze dinners for the next 3 months. And for as much grief as we (her other 3 BFFs and I) give her, we are really giving her HUGE prop’s for what we (or at least I) only wished I was disciplined enough to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Convenience, our society loves convenience. Pretty much the reason that every stop light is surrounded by 18 different fast food options and the grocery store is all about instant gratification. No need to cook, just NUK and VOILA! Dinner for 4. I’ll admit, I am a consumer of convenience, more so than I’d like, but hey, sometimes it seems like the only option when what I’ve really done is lacked in the planning department, or just because I really, really need my fix of McDonald’s French fries! I am a product of the Happy Meal generation. When they served them in a box with golden arches handles, not a bag.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So back to my Tom’s rant – I’ll have to blog more about food later [watch Fast Food Nation or the one about the meat factory, both remind me of Upton Sinclair’s, The Jungle, a novel written in 1906 that ended up being the basis for why the FDA was founded] The last time Stacey was in town she pointed out to me that my favorite deodorant, Secret w/oil of Olay moisturizers in a lovely fragrance, was full of ALUMINUM and other weird ingredience. She also pointed out that my Colgate with whitening squares toothpaste was full of red dye no. 40’s amongst other things I couldn’t pronounce, much less know what they were….Stacey provided food for thought, but I can’t risk having sweaty pits at work and I sure don’t want to brush with nothing more than baking powder and water made into a paste! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fast forward about a week & it’s time for my bi-weekly grocery shopping trip to Super Tar-jay, (many of you know I am NOT a WALLY WORLD fan, I think it’s the Evil Empire, however occasionally I find myself in the store and always leave with the echoing of registers beeping in my head). After the lingering thoughts of rubbing aluminum in my armpits and thinking of maybe a correlation to breast cancer? And who knows what other side effects, I make the decision to splurge and pay the $6 for a stick of Tom’s LONG LASTING Lavender fragrance deodorant…and as I round the corner to the toothpaste isle, I decide that I’ll try the WICKED FRESH! Long lasting fresh breath toothpaste and put this product to the test. [I still had some reserve of my regular stock – just in case!]</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Results: I’m SOLD. P&G lost a customer; Tom’s gained a customer! Seriously, the deodorant is great because: it’s all natural and I like supporting the ‘little guy’ and a company that is concerned about the environment & best of all – I’m going to get real - when you shave your armpits, you don’t have to shave off a layer of deodorant FIRST & clog up your razor. I’m thinking the $6 investment is actually going to save me money in the long haul because I’m not going to buy $30 mach3 razor replacements as often! And the toothpaste, this one was going out on a limb for me, breath is nothing to jeopardize! But, it’s super minty and refreshing and doesn’t feel like a pasty mixture of just baking soda and water [my biggest concern].

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Parks are great, endless entertainment & typically our kids play so hard that it's always an early night for bed...awesome since naps are usuallyMIA at the Buck house <br />
on weekends due to our busy schedules. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We're excited Spring is on it's way, being outside is so refreshing (minus the allergens) Banks already wants to fast forward to summer, he asked me yesterday, "How much longer until summer?" I think he's anxious to swim. ;) I hope you & yours were able to get out and enjoy some of the sunshine as well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB9AXcDWSiPlhS_c2cJ90P_btRMLtyeFZgfHyQ2B0ydOGPXGWuiA_-I-Wi_TSBma2ts31hyphenhyphenWyyH0_ckoEHVEYQGpO_ihirTs9o1JaMb5heRPUOf1z3VaumQdvzyKvA82t7FANl-quQBY/s1600/DSC_0236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB9AXcDWSiPlhS_c2cJ90P_btRMLtyeFZgfHyQ2B0ydOGPXGWuiA_-I-Wi_TSBma2ts31hyphenhyphenWyyH0_ckoEHVEYQGpO_ihirTs9o1JaMb5heRPUOf1z3VaumQdvzyKvA82t7FANl-quQBY/s200/DSC_0236.JPG" width="131" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJpR699NyZqWLFKdS0R2gQLjtg1b9ZcvdFIGtHq-014RozrhqCzzerB-ibDEcVq_IQiQzSykkdwOvrt8xqtc9zACnk5o9-SHTS1REzgt2MSJwj88yUUUsRUpRT6-XWFmJqq8Pm_G1nTI/s1600/DSC_0245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJpR699NyZqWLFKdS0R2gQLjtg1b9ZcvdFIGtHq-014RozrhqCzzerB-ibDEcVq_IQiQzSykkdwOvrt8xqtc9zACnk5o9-SHTS1REzgt2MSJwj88yUUUsRUpRT6-XWFmJqq8Pm_G1nTI/s200/DSC_0245.JPG" width="198" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

Yes, we are 'do it ourselfers.' Home Depot & Lowe's Target Customers. I'll admit we've hired help a time or two, but only to do the unthinkable jobs that we would probably end up making a total mess of. My husband likes to construct things with his own hands and sit back and marvel at his masterpiece when he's done. ;) I'd have to agree, you do feel a great sense of accomplishment, but if the decision was left to me, I usually prefer to leave it to the paid pro's.<br />
<br />
Our spring project is landscaping the West & North sides of our home, the first step in the process was to shovel out what seemed like a MILLION rocks from the beautiful rock garden the previous owner planted. 8 wheel barrow's later and one big ol' blister on my thumb, we cleared the rocks and prepped the West wall for some beautiful knock out roses! I'll wait to post before & after pictures once we get it all done, but for now I'll leave you with photo's of our tinest, non-paid, helpers.<br />

It was the first time I volunteered and attended the day sessions. Not only where there some of the best speakers I'd ever heard, but it was evident that the Lord was ever present in the house! I made a couple of new awesome friends and had a few old ones attend the C3 night sessions with me. Banks and Cooper spent hours at church Wed, Thur & Friday night and my heart melted Thursday morning when Banks asked if he could go back to church instead of school?! That is what it's all about :) My heart overflows seeing my children develop such a love for the Lord & the church. Banks also told me his bible teacher was his 'best friend.' Her name is Chelsea & she's a local high school student ... oh dear! He is such a charmer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Cooper is already practing her 'GO TIGERS!' cheer. We are playing in a very encouraging league, that basically exists to teach young kids fundamentals. I'm excited for him because this is the first sport he <em>asked</em> us to play. My sister gave him a glove for Christmas and he and Austin have been practing in the front yard for months. He can actually smack a pitch from Austin about 25 yards from the front of the porch to the middle of our street :) GO BANKS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sure we'll get some great photo's soon...until then, here's a few pictures from Banks last basketball fundamentals class at the YMCA. They were really short kids, so Miss Cooper was able to join in the fun!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">[cooper update] Coop is scheduled for her year end dance recital in May at the Ed Landreth Hall at TCU! She is tu-tu excited, she's a little HAM BONE, I'm sure she'll be Front Row Joe. When I check in on her in class she is always standing <em>next</em> to the teacher <strong>FACING</strong> the other kids! Ha! We have our hands full, no doubt.*</div><br />

</div><div align="center">I have known Stacey since the 3rd grade. We had a love-hate relationship then. Love from the sense of Stacey was the sweetest person on the planet and hate from the perspective of how stinky I was, a spoiled little brat that invited everyone from our cheer leading squad to my birthday party...except for cutie pa tootie Stacey. Horrible. Plain meanness. Only, by the grace of God, she forgave me early on in our relationship and we have continued on to be the best of friends...the best you could ever imagine.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Stacey knows me better than I know me, or at least better than I want to admit to myself! She can decipher me and knows my moods and all of my imperfections. She loves me for who I am and I love her more than she could ever imagine. Stace is one of the most four beautiful persons I know - both inside and out. She has a kindred spirit and we have lived through Stacey and her most awesome adventures. Sea World animal trainer and ranch hand to name a few. My grandmother passed away on her birthday and we have the call from my dad on video, something I will forever treasure, as a young girl having such a wonderful family to comfort me at such a horrible time. She is vivacious, and so heartfelt. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Stacey is a gem, a wonderful wife and at some point she will be an extraordinary mother. She has not only achieved her dreams, but far exceeded them. She is a doll and by far a unique and loved sweetheart. She can take your breath away when you lay your eyes on her and her heart will do the same. She has uncanny determination, she is an AGGIE, and we will never let her live it down or be so proud of her. Way to go Stace! GIG EM'</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Stace, you are one in a million and you have a special place in my heart.</div>Two Buckarooshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033002550193418469noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069099105005147644.post-5431034907079815232011-01-28T13:34:00.000-08:002011-01-28T13:34:03.634-08:00~Lauren Nicole~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpe6y8p-fZ8GqGCSZG-BehOx3kDu-AoNP1LOnE7dBuYYX8rOVnI9UInzNaWVG0XB3QQMKbuEaIBcVGneQGgb9U56nwqrHVihRJy24HzYrHWxjEod7U6kDHxGWGxCJawsVPqmVRZ4m3BA/s1600/Jul+2008+%2528287%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpe6y8p-fZ8GqGCSZG-BehOx3kDu-AoNP1LOnE7dBuYYX8rOVnI9UInzNaWVG0XB3QQMKbuEaIBcVGneQGgb9U56nwqrHVihRJy24HzYrHWxjEod7U6kDHxGWGxCJawsVPqmVRZ4m3BA/s320/Jul+2008+%2528287%2529.jpg" width="313" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lauren Nicole aka 'Ral Ral'</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There are many photo's to choose from, but it had to be this one. Us & our daugters Cooper & Ava at ~8mo. Too funny!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've known Lauren since elementary school, where we were cheerleaders for Milam Elementary. Go Mavs! We came up with the 'Moo Cow Club' in 3rd grade with another dear elementary friend, and had what I would consider a true sister relationship. We spent the night with each other more times than I could ever count, gave each other haircuts unbeknost to our mothers and spent alternating weekends with our dads together. We were a 2 for 1 deal! My dad refers to Lauren as his <em>adopted</em> daughter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lauren has helped to mold me into the person I have become, there aren't many experience that I've had without her by my side. We have also had riffs that have lasted for many months ... but just as we separated, we always came back together. Our friendship was meant to be. We have grown through so much together. I admire Lauren for her honesty and can always count on her to council me through the thickest, the Lord her guide. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lauren is Martha Stewart, seriously. There is NOTHING she can't do, she's the BEST chef, baker, seamstress, and mother. I always knew she would be the best mother - she has intrinsic instinct and the patience of Job. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my most memorable moments with Lauren is the time we wrecked the four wheeler and managed to fling ourselves into the bank of a creek ... INJURY FREE. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lauren, you are simply AMAZING and you have a special place in my heart.</div>Two Buckarooshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05033002550193418469noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069099105005147644.post-745043573089064802011-01-27T18:39:00.000-08:002011-01-27T18:44:18.728-08:00~Katrina Marie~<div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZoezgXgTceRzv-K1xrO18eb623claBgM6jFe-PAQEYqQKDHOUNeOu5jv5nGWN95zVLrWmKffmQJhyjYEFai5Njx_JU5ch55tZCzwgfYFSe7e6CZWemXUSuOSobxEXB7yYPvihZC_2APs/s1600/Kat+and+Chel+Dec+2010.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZoezgXgTceRzv-K1xrO18eb623claBgM6jFe-PAQEYqQKDHOUNeOu5jv5nGWN95zVLrWmKffmQJhyjYEFai5Njx_JU5ch55tZCzwgfYFSe7e6CZWemXUSuOSobxEXB7yYPvihZC_2APs/s400/Kat+and+Chel+Dec+2010.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>Katrina Marie aka 'Kat' (kids call her Cat in the Hat too, </div><div style="text-align: center;">it's confusing having aunties with rhyming names, dang Dr Seuss :))</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've known Katrina since our freshman year in high school, we played volleyball together & it wasn't until our Jr & Sr years when we were on the same cheer squad that I really got to know her better. And actually, it wasn't until after we had kids that something went 'CLICK' and we have found that we are more alike than we could ever have imagined. Both type 'A', love things in order, okay, we're total MONICA's from friends. ha-ha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Kat is a gem, she has a smile you can never forget, she loves life and ALWAYS ALWAYS has the best mom advice for me. When I need to call someone at 10 p.m. I usually call Kat and if I need encouragement, she is pretty awesome at that. We're shop til you drop buddies, when we get kicked out of the mall, we always go to plan B - 1st option Target and if we absolutely have to, then it's onto Wally World. We're the ones that drag the other girls along for the super fun ride. And impulsive - that's us. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My most memorable Kat story is her car in high school and my nick name for her. Kat is an inspiration - she is such a strong example of marriage and family and is willing to work through anything for her family. I love her heart and her strong head.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've known Heather since I was about 3 years old, we both danced at Mary Ann Little's dance studio, however, it wasn't until high school that we were at the same school and became closer friends. We have mom's that are almost 2 peas in the pod and grew up 'only children' (that is what I consider myself since my older siblings graduated from high school when I was 3, 5 & 6 years old).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Heather is THE MOST gentle, laid back, nothing gets her goat kind of gal. I LOVE Heathers attitude and her love for humanity and animals. She is also SERIOUSLY one of the funniest people I know and has a way of warming the room with her smile alone. She is gorgeous and has THE best, thickest luscious brown locks! Heather is currently expecting twin boys and I know that she is going to be a wonderful mama. She also has mad decorating skills and can rock any kind of design element - she does of course have a degree in interior design, one that fits her so well! Heather keeps us grounded and always reminds us of the 'right thing to do' she has such integrity and trust.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My favorite Heather story involves a leg cast & a trampoline - greatness! Heater is such a wonderful example of a pure heart, she has one made of solid gold.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> ~The Fab Five~<br />
<em>~Lauren, Michelle, Heather, Stacey & Katrina~</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a name we gave ourselves years ago - </div><div style="text-align: center;">the perfect description of the friendship between five fabulous individuals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We've known each other since either elementary, middle or high school. We have shared many experiences together - birthday parties(and the lack thereof), boys, new driving adventures, family events, death, marriage, births; there have been fights, make-ups, </div><div style="text-align: center;">tears, lots of laughter and an immense amount of love.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I consider these 4 girls my sisters. They are always there for me, to share my greatest accomplishments as well as to walk me through my darkest moments. We have similar family backgrounds, and on another level we all just 'connect.' </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so grateful to have such wonderful women to bounce ideas off of, consult when I have NO idea how to handle my kids, have someone to give me encouragement </div><div style="text-align: center;">when I'm blue and keep me in tune with my true self. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Odds = highly unlikely. Probably better odds that you would win the Texas lottery. Only we far exceeded any winnings from a lottery ticket. Who would have thought the first boy you ‘fell in love with’ and saw across the cafeteria on the first day of 6th grade would end up your HUSBAND?!! <br />
<br />
We have an unlikely story, one I cherish and will forever treasure. Austin and I know each other so well we think the same thoughts and can sometimes even finish each others sentences. Not to say that marriage is a 24/7 fairy tail, those who are married know better, but I will say with confidence, I have married my soul mate & best friend and can not explain the joy I feel to have the opportunity to journey through this life with him. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />
<br />
<strong>VERY EARLY BEGINNINGS</strong>: Our relationship actually begins circa 1983 in Grand Prairie, Texas at the United Methodist Church Mother’s Day out program! It wasn’t until I was in high school & was going through some of my mom’s old photo’s that I realized Austin & I were in the same THURSDAY school class! What I wouldn’t give to have video of those days ;) I do however have a single photograph, of which I can not locate at the present time, but promise to find it at my Mom’s house soon so that I may share it with you.<br />
<br />
<strong>EARLY BEGINNINGS</strong>: Kennedy Middle School, August 1991. As I mentioned above, I can vividly remember seeing one of the cutest boys on the planet across the cafeteria on the fist day of school, one of my friends mom’s affectionately referred to him as ‘Howdy Doody’ since he had cute freckles and looked like an All American boy. I remember asking my friends, Melissa & Beth, whom went to elementary school with him, what his name was. “Austin Buck” And so in October, I decided to invite him to my first boy/girl birthday party. Austin will tell you he had NO idea who I was and was only interested in coming to the party for social butterfly reasons. I was always a ‘good girl’ growing up, cried when I received my first ‘B,’ Austin on the other hand…uhhh, humm. Let’s just say he was not as tame as I. A few middle school memories I cherish were hay rides on my birthday in 7th grade at Samuel’s Farm, stealing an innocent kiss at my party playing spin the bottle and watching Austin play basketball and cheering on the Longhorns. Middle school was rough, I do also remember that, and we had a group of girls that spent about every other week in the school counselors office, sometimes discussing incidents around who was girlfriend or boyfriend with Austin Buck. He had quite the following. lol<br />
<br />
We started our freshman year of high school as cross town rivals & also went on to occupy our time other things. Austin was into playing golf and I was into theatre and making new friends, of which consisted of new boyfriends … we drifted apart, but not for long. I joined the golf team and began practicing at the same facility. [that was not a plan, wink wink] Our junior and senior years we were ‘an item’ and attended each others proms, school dances and Austin was a loyal follower of our football team so that he could watch me cheer. I can’t count on my fingers and toes the good times we had during those two years taking trips to the lake, life guarding, four wheeling, and who knows what else – there were a lot of laughs and some tears as well.<br />
<br />
<strong>LIFE CHANGE</strong>: One of my best friends from high school and I were accepted to TCU and shared a dorm room our freshman year. Austin and I were on again, off again…as I thought I was too cool for school, a school that Austin didn’t currently attend. We dated a few other people, but I somehow found myself comparing guys to Austin…no one ever measured up. In my heart I knew he was my prince. I had it all planned out, college graduation, engagement, marriage, house, kids – Just need to get him on board! The middle of our sophomore year Austin transferred to TCU and we shared an apartment with another roommate. [I know, I know – living in sin, and looking back on it I see the pros and cons, I will never let my kids do as I did, but I guess that’s the fun part, I get to tell them do as I say, not as I do. Ever hear that one before?] I actually pulled a ‘Monica from friends’ move by booking the chapel long before I ever had a ring… ha ha, something we laugh about now, but if he knew that back then, I may have scared him off! <br />
<br />
<strong>FAST FORWARD</strong>: I graduated in May of 02, Austin one semester later in Dec 02. We both landed our first job with the Tandy Corporation in downtown Fort Worth, and the Thanksgiving weekend 2003, I had a business trip planned to San Francisco, CA. The trip was rescheduled to January, however Austin and I decided to go anyhow since we purchased a ticket for him to join me. I was also starting to wonder about my plan…was he ever going to ask me to marry him? I seriously had no idea, I suspected that over a family Christmas trip to New Mexico he would do it with everyone present. So that weekend, unexpectedly Austin dropped to knee in Sausalito, CA on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together. It’s a trip I’ll never forget, one we had SO much fun on touring Napa and finding our way about in San Fran, complete with a night tour of Alcatraz. It was pretty late in Dallas, so we decided to wait until the morning to call our friends and family. I remember waking up in the middle of the night with my ring finger inches from my face and smiling like a giddy school girl. <br />
<br />
<strong>MARRIAGE</strong>: We had a quaint wedding on January 24th 2004 in our home town, where my dad walked me down the isle and we shared vowels in front of our friends, family and most importantly God. A life long covenant we made and will promise to keep through good times and bad. Marriage is hard work and when you say ‘& the bad’ during your vowels you have no idea what bad means – we all spend, as we should, time with our heads in the clouds in honeymoon bliss. I pray that we find time each year, heck, each month or week to remember the bliss. Hard times will come and go, but through the thick of it, we’ll continue to grow our relationship until there is nothing we can’t work through. I believe in my heart of hearts in the sancity of marriage. Having seen first hand the ripple affect of divorce, I think that my determination is even more intent on making marriage stron. Our recipe consist of: a relationship that focus' first on God, second on marriage and lastly on our children.<br />
<br />
So, that is our story, I’m so fortunate to have married my best friend and look forward to what the next 70+ years hold. <br />
<br />
And here we are - what fun to go back and line these up. (And yes, I used to be a scrapbooker...that is <em>used</em> to be;))<br />

I do need to take a photo tonight & blog about Cooper & her <em>obsession</em> with my t-shirts!! I've negotiated with her that bed time is when she can wear them...although it doesn't stop her from asking every morning if she can wear them to school. Too cute - she also loves wears my heels when ever she comes home, I can always tell where she is by the click-clack of her step on the wood floors. ;)<br />
<br />
I feel convicted today to blog about my family - between my family and my in-laws I feel blessed to have a network of some of the most fabulous individuals in the world. Everyone lives in the metroplex allowing us the gift of being able to share in each others daily lives. My kids have grandparents and great-grandparents close enough to make it to birthday parties & holiday events and I'm looking forward to sharing 1st baseball games (this spring!) and dance recitals (May 21st 2011!). I don't want to take those opportunities for granted and ensure I express how grateful I truly feel.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are all blessed to have such a wonderful role model in our lives, Paw lived a life of integrity, of Christian values and was never quick to anger. He admired his family and encouraged all of us to do our best and live life to the fullest. He played an integral part of my husband's life, helping to mold the man I have grown to love so dearly, for that I am grateful.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Austin explained that he's only experienced two white Christmas' in his lifetime and one was last year. Banks & Cooper are spoiled and think that SNOW = CHRISTMAS! :)<br />
<br />
So Santa is definitely NOT coming tonight...but we had so much fun throwing snow balls at each other. Banks hit me in the face from about 12 inches away!! He has quite a little arm, I'll tell you that much. <br />
<br />
We built a snowman, complete with TCU hat and the kids made snow angels & slid down a small hill on a trashcan lid! Fun times - they are sacked out as I type. No naps today and playing in the snow made for two very tired babies.<br />
<br />
Happy Snow Day! :)<br />

Let me correct myself, Austin, Kenny and their four legged friends, Briley Pearl, Sam Bony, Pearl & Dixie (I'll have to ask Kenny if he gave his bird dogs middle names too!) <br />
<br />
Austin usually brings us home some pretty good loot & we store it in the freezer and eat it grilled wrapped in bacon (anything wrapped in bacon is good in my book), baked, and slow cooked in the crock pot! Oh ... and my personal fave - pheasant enchilada's, recipe courtesy of Grady Spears, the renowned Reata Chef.<br />
<br />
This year Austin actually kept two birds, feathers still in tact, for the kids to see. They were a HOOT! Cooper wanted to hold the quail by the feet and kept calling them turkeys & Banks was holding the big ol' pheasant like a baby. <br />
<br />
Aus then proceeded to the garage where he gave the kids a lesson in cleaning birds. Banks kept talking about the blood and Cooper wanted to STILL HOLD THE FEET that Austin cut off! Aaah. She is SUCH my girly girl and also my little tom boy, i LOVE it, just like her mom!<br />
<br />
I may have mentioned in an earlier post, our family is the 'hunter/gather' type. I grew up shooting guns & participating in archery tournaments, fishing & camping. It's a great gift my father gave me and Austin & I just so happen to enjoy sharing in our outdoor excursions. We're looking forward to sharing our love with the kids, and especially can't wait until we can share the love of upland bird hunting with them. That, folks, is what I remember Austin and I doing and loving the most before we HAD kids :) Watching our dogs is amazing!!<br />
<br />
And finally the photo's you've been waiting for!<br />

I just uploaded an SD card I found wedged in my purse, there were so many great photos I had already forgotten about. What a better way to choose the best ones and add commentary? So I'm challenging myself to 365entries in the 365 days following 1 Jan 2011!<br />
<br />
I'll begin in reverse order, starting with Christmas first. :)<br />
<br />
We had a nice Christmas at home. Since Austin and I have the littlest ones, our parents spent Christmas Eve with us and stayed the night so that they could see the kids open their presents in the morning, what a special day to have everyone here together! My dad was sick and didn't make it up, so we paid him a special visit a few days later.<br />
<br />
The kids were super excited for Santa, however we wanted them to know first and foremost the reason for Christmas is to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus. Let me tell you Cooper LOVES her some baby Jesus - we have a small Playmobile nativity set and Ms Coop always has tiny baby Jesus in tow :) I took the kids through a drive through nativity and we had to circle around twice so Coop could get a better look at 'tiny baby Jesus.' That is what she calls Him, cracks me up, I love it. Banks is VERY proud that he memorized, in perfect order, '<em>Jesus is the reason for the season</em>,' quite a mouth full for a 4 year old.<br />
