only in HOUSTON!

This was back from September 2010, but I just found the picture and FOLKS I'm really try to catch up from the lack of blogging, which is frustrating me- anyways ENJOY a few laughs!
This is at a gas station near Oak Forest and Garden Oaks off 610- YES that is a man on a horse at the gas station! Only in Houston, Texas would one encounter this situation in the CITY!

gotta love the holiday festivities

A full day of activities from our church, Candy Cane Lane, to the Bass Pro Shop visiting Santa! Our church, Houstons First Baptist had an amazing event for the kiddos Archer and Ashton's age surrounded by things just for them to do... Archer and I made an ornament, Christmas cards, and got a story about JESUS to read us! Andrew and Archer made a candy cane cookie, decorated it, and of course ate all of it! Thereafter he immediately jumped away any sugar that was in his little body in the bounce houses- and I tell you there were LOTS of them for him to play on! Plus he ran into his friends and had even more fun while doing so!



Here's Ashton crawling around and trying to climb on the soft obstacle course just for him- gotta love his hair- pure craziness!

Outside there was a LIVE nativity scene that we checked out-PEOPLE we had a camel, which neither of the boys were too sure about it!

Ashton wanted so badly to go ride the horse with his big brother Archer, but he had to sit this round out while all bundled up! BRRR...it was a very cold day for this! ps- this was your first day in your 3rd new stroller! I think we are sticking with this one...so Daddy hopes!

Check out my BIG boy riding the horse all by himself- he was having SO much fun- can't you just see the joy in his face! Afterwards he spent some time loving on the horse- they really bonded!

Here's my boys at the Bass Pro Shop out in front standing by some old car that Andrew is going to fussy at me for not knowing- since he talks about cars and loves them so much, especially old ones- the history and look of them- timeless, but anyways they are just the love of my life, other than GOD!



A little blurry, but look Archer is actually hugging Santa- this Santa was so sweet- told him to be good for Mommy and Daddy and that Santa loved him and was going to try very hard to get him what he wanted for Christmas...We will surely go back again next year- they had the BEST set up for Santa- free picture and if you wanted more they were WAY cheaper than the mall, plus while you were waiting in line they had a craft table set up for kiddos to do a craft (we made a reindeer ornament-SUPER CUTE), a train and trucks to play with that were remote controlled, and a "hunting" station (see picture below)! It was perfect for kiddos!
Daddy and Archer practicing their Archery! LOL! :)

Life size nutcrackers- he loves them thanks to his Mimi- every year she gets the grandchildren a nutcracker the kids name them and she writes the year and name on the bottom! What a sweet memory and precious treasure...
