My three fish....

When Jace was three and Kai was thirteen months I decided to start them in the infant aquatics program (http://www.infantaquatics.com/). I realized right off being around water day and night they needed to know how to swim and how to save themselves if needs be.

Jace caught on very quickly and loved being in the water!

Kai being younger grasped the float concept better than Jace did. Studies have shown that infants will adapt better to the roll flip technique than a toddler or an older child. Even though he developed the techniques more completely he did not like to swim.

Kai's version of floating

After a couple of years in the infant aquatic program they both have learned to love swimming, have advanced years beyond their age. If you ask them they say, "they love to race each other, dive, and just play around." For me I happy to know that if at any point they need to save themselves...they can!!

Winter clothes in Texas??

This past weekend we had a going away party for our friends the Turner's who were moving to Alaska. The party was so much fun and who would of thought all of these Texan's had winter clothes stashed in their attics?

Wendy did a great job finding wintery decor. :-)


We had a yummy pasta bar and the sauces Kim and Karen made were so good!!

After dinner we played a fun game to see who knew the Turner's the best.

What a fun way to say good bye...luckily Carolyn and the kids will be back in a month to visit. :-)

Color Quiz

Okay, so I found this test and I thought it would be a little fun to take. Click on it and try it out.

Have Fun!!

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

What are you?

The Turner's

Our good friends the Turner's just moved to Anchorage, Alaska. Jeff and Carolyn have triplet nine year olds (Aubry, Kelsey, and Savannah), and three year old Bryce who is best friends with Jace and Kai. Carolyn was my first friend when I moved to Katy, Texas. I am truly grateful for the friendship and many memories we share. Thanks for being such wonderful friends. We miss and love you but, look forward to seeing you very soon.

American Idol?

Today we went to Silly Town playground in Rosenberg, Texas with a bunch of our friends. Suddenly Jace gets up on stage and starts singing Karaoke in front of everyone there. He was singing "I love you Lord" a song that he sings at school. When he was finished I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm practicing so I can sing on t.v."

Lauren trying to decide if she is going to participate in all of Jace's silliness:)

A Super Hero Christmas

The boys wish this Christmas was to get super hero costumes. Actually, the only thing Kai wanted was a real red light saber (Darth Vader's). Jace wanted a Spiderman costume, a blue light saber, and a teddy bear. To our surprise Christmas morning Santa did indeed come through.

Everyone in the family including mommy got a Star Wars light saber.
