Look what I made!

This was my Memorial Day craft I had waiting for me to do at my Mom's house. She always has such faith in my capabilities. I felt very accomplished.

He's at it again

It's not just homemade, its BRAIDED too! It always looks so yummy Dale, way to go.


Rocket Man

This is true Happiness :



Congratulations Colleen

Colleen, Dale's sister, just graduated from High School. Yeah! She's the last of our siblings to graduate. No more until Gavin's in 2025.

Our very own Rocket (may 09)





We're encouraging the interest in Space, Shuttles, Rockets. Dale found this rocket at Walmart and bought the engines on line. We started out with 150ft .... we've since shot of a 900ft engine (in a far off field) and have only had one landing in someone's back yard. Needless to say, Gavin is really good at counting from 10 to 1 now.

End of Year Banquet at the Galleria






Dale was recognized as next year's Delta Theta Phi Dean, and I got to dress up! (I made the jacket, sleeves are harder to make than you think). It was fun, like a 2nd Prom. [thanks to the Ruckers for watching Gavin ; ) ]

Dale pinned a rising 3L

Dale's a gonna be 3rd Year Law Student !


It Rained

Space Center.....again







Gavin is in love with "NASA Space Center". He says it all the time. So for Dale's spring break, we went again. This time we did stuff we didn't have time for 2 months ago. Now Gavin counts backwards, and adds BLAST OFF at the end. He surprisingly knows the difference between a rocket ship, space shuttle, station and center. We're working on Roll, Pitch and Yaw movements of an aircraft for my dad. We also saw Sponge Bob and Patrick, which was exciting for him... Dale that is, and Gavin too.

CELINE DION 1/9/09



How did I forget to post this?! We had tickets to go see Celine since we first moved to Houston in 2007. That was our big plan for our 5th Anniversary, Jan. 10th . (Guess which one of us came up with that idea). I've only been in love with her since '92, and I'm telling you... I just let go of my socially reserved nature. I was doing the big arm claps, the wha hoos, and singing every word to every song (except the french one). Most of those people don't know anything before Titanic. Some words "I could barely recall, but [they were] all coming back to me [then]". ; ) IT WAS AMAZING!!! Good thing Dale didn't feel embarrassed by me, because he sure could have. I was totally my teeny bopper self again.
