Lexington







Christian got to spend the night aboard the USS Lexington, nicknamed "Blue Ghost". Speaking of which, it happens to be the most haunted ship in the US Navy. The Discovery Channel's show "Ghost Lab" will be featuring it on December 22nd. They have already featured our Granbury Opera House. You won't want to miss it!

Hobbies


And this is my new pride and joy...I found this at a garage sale around the corner from me. I paid $20, my mom paid $20. The thing is, it's a circa 1940's Drexel New Hampton Court china cabinet. It's worth about $800. I saw the Drexel stamp and HAD TO HAVE IT. And I don't even collect antiques, but I'm starting to get very interested. Anyway, nobody knew what they had and I did....

October



And Christian earned his 1st Class Scout rank, the boys began Cotillion, and then we had Halloween...

of Mummy Dogs, Brains with
Blood Sauce and Eyeballs, Olive
Roaches, Witches Brew with Iced
Worms. Sounds delicious, huh?

And so school began...




And then there is cheerleading which started around the first of school. Angela is a big Kindergartener now, and Christian and Caleb are in middle school.

They even let him in the cockpit of the airplane!!! Scary, huh? LOL

Caleb's Summer











Caleb made all A's last school year and his reward was a trip to LegoLand in California with his grandmother. They made a stop at Las Vegas and Neverland. I'm only going to post the best pix here because I have about 400 of them...LOL

Always with the disappearing acts...




I used to have friends in South Texas who would complain that I would always disappear without their knowledge. Just one day, they would come to school, and I wouldn't be there for months. I didn't keep up with them and never warned them. That's kind of how I feel right now! Sorry to disappear, I have much to catch up on...I will start with the pictures I promised from summer. These were taken from my wonderful friend Sheryl. That's Caleb, Christian and Tevin tubing on Lake Granbury, and Angela steering Todd's boat! Talk about spoiled...
