Snow Break

After all the snow fun, we went to Starbucks and got a warm vanilla milk. Good times.

Bella's First Snow Day

Today was a snowy day in Fort Worth. The kids went outside to play and Bella LOVED it. She and the other kids played for about an hour.

What Todd Does At Work

This is what happened to Todd at work today. He sliced his head open on his cubicle cabinets. Sounds like something that would happen at Dunder Mifflin (for fellow office fans). This is the second time this has happened to him believe it or not.

Pursuit of Happyness

Saw it - Loved it!! Go see it.

Saturday Nights at the Walker house

On most evenings at our house, you will find at least one of us performing karaoke. Tonight we went out with our friends Richard and Cyndi. Saw a movie, went to dinner and then came back to our house for . . . karaoke! Totally fun. Here are Richard and Cyndi singing "You are The Wind Beneath My Wings."

Madeline's 7th Birthday

Madeline's Birthday was December 28th, but she had her friend party today. She had a good time!

Lost Tooth

Savannah lost her first tooth. It was just barely hanging there and it was driving me crazy, so I pinned her down and pulled it out myself. She freaked out when it was happening but felt better afterwards. She looks like a little cutie.

Why I Hate Step Classes

I recently went to a step aerobics class and here are 10 thoughts on why I will never go back.

1. It is for coordinated people only. Trying to remember what a grapevine, crossover, revolving door , to the knee etc - too much.
2. You are surrounded by wall to wall mirrors so you get to see exactly how stupid you look. Great for your self esteem.
3. After my heart felt like it was going to quit on me , I just knew class was about over. I look at the clock, we were only going for 6 minutes. . . I felt like crying.
4. All that bouncing and jumping really made my curls go crazy.
5. Eventually I was getting the hang of it and thought I wasn't doing too bad. I look over at the lady next to me to measure my progress. She is going full force and is not even sweating - she was probably 55, smiling and cheering. I'm 29 and was drenched.
6. Speaking of cheering, the teacher would get us to cheer along with her. I just couldn't do it. Too embarrassing. Random whoohees and oh yeah's - no way.
7. The teacher would speed the music up really fast. It really annoyed me especially since I was trying to sing along.
8. Apparently you're not supposed to sing along according to the looks I got.
9. At the end of class, my face was an attractive color of tomato red.
10. . Last reason I will not go back. The next day, could not even walk. Had to roll out of bed.

I think I will stick to the treadmill.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Year's Eve

We had a great night with some of our sweeet friends Jeff & Theresa Knowles. Their 5 kids plus our 4 made for lots of fun and noise.It was 1 big slumber party. We did fireworks, ate good food, played games and stayed up late. Todd and I actually stayed up past 2am. As most of you know, we usually go to bed by 9 every night so we were totally dead the next day!! But it was worth it.

This is Jeff. He was a tight end at Texas Tech with Todd. He now works for Remax. He is also an ordained pastor.

Thanks for the great memories Knowles' family!
