Alamo Bowl......Oklahoma State vs Arizona!!

(36-10 Cowboys WIN!!!)


What are the odds that our 2 teams would match up in the Alamo Bowl this year??? We enjoyed watching the game in Phoenix with G-ma Lor Lor & Baby Jim!! Mom was happy with the outcome.....dad not so much! But, unlike the last time our teams played against each other in the sweet sixteen.....no one slept on the couch this year...ha ha!

Ooh well, they will get a chance to meet again the next two years.....in Stillwater next year and Tucson the following. We're hoping to make both games!! We printed these pics of the girls on a canvas and framed them for part of our parents Christmas gifts this year. I think they were a hit!!

"road trippin" to Arizona!!



After 2 months of being homeless and a fun Christmas celebration in Oklahoma, it was finally time to make our way to our new home out west!! Destination day 1.....Albuquerque....and day 2....PHOENIX!!

After driving 12+ hours in the car, we made it to adorable Albuquerque, checked into our quaint hotel in Old Town and were all enjoying a fabulous mexican dinner until Emma vomited all over mom!! Poor baby, she had been complaining that her stomach hurt all evening. We were quite a sight and had to leave immediately but laughed it off as my mom's saying goes "parenting is not for wimps" but an hour later Jon was ill.....uggh!!

Luckily Ava & Mom escaped the illness....here were are in Old Town Albuquerque before Emma & Dad got sick.....

Happy Birthday/ Happy Graduation/ Happy Finishing Fellowship to DAD!!!






I was so lucky to be able to fly back to St. Louis to celebrate Jon's MPH Graduation from SLU, his 35th Birthday and his completing Peds EM Fellowship brunch! G-ma Nancy and Papa Charles watched the girls for us and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the Lou! It was sad to say goodbye to good friends, but we were also so happy to be able to celebrate all Jon's accomplishments!! Finishing fellowship early, getting his MPH with a 4.0, all the while working full time and keeping up with his house full of girls!! We are so proud of him!!

Christmas Program!




The girls were so lucky to be able to join in the Christmas Program at the First Baptist Church in Pawnee. They had so much fun holding their "baby Jesus" baby dolls, singing and loved every minute of performing......so sweet! So proud of our girls!! It's so wonderful to see them involved and beginning to learn that Jesus is the real reason we celebrate Christmas!!
