Just A Little Trip To The Mall Among Friends

It appears that Harrison is as glad that the Hickens are back as much as I am!

Tagged 6th File 6th Photo

All I can say is I am pretty organized when it comes to photos! Here is Great Grandpa Wray with his granddaughter. He LOVES to hold her, when we walk in the door he says "hand that little girl over" I know that my grandparents will have just as big of an impact on my children as they have had on me. She was named after his side of the family.

Kindergarten Patriotic Performance

Preston's Kindergarten Patriotic Performance, he did a great job. They sang about 5-6 songs and did short monologues along the way. Preston's line was "We have had many great presidents. One of them was named Abraham Lincoln, he was are 16th President. He was born in a log cabin."

Poor U

I need help!! One afternoon Harrison was on my computer and apparently Mickey Mouse was not doing what he wanted and he began to bang on my computer. The U button fell off and I can not seem to keep it to stay on? Has this ever happened to you? What do I do to fix it? Needless to say Harrison is no longer allowed to use my computer!

Big Bear Adventures

We love to go to the mountains. In the summer we go fishing, ride hourses and hit the zoo. In the winter its all about the snow. Here is some... okay a ton photos of our adventures.

This is why I have no photos of me. I apparently need to give Jeremy some instruction our camera. I just put this in to prove I was there!

Our version of a snowman! Do you like the diet coke touch?

I love these guys!

Jeremy was trying to hit me with the snowballs while I was taking photos.

Another Craft Friend

I love to do crafty things. When I was pregnant I wanted nothing to do with anything paper, glue, ribbon or a sewing machine. I am making up for lost time. I also have a new partner in crafting. Eva at my office had an adorable little girl last summer and we have been sharing ideas. It has been so much fun! Here is a pillowcase dress that she made Emma.

Thursday Craft Day

Preston LOVES to go to Chickfila every Tuesday because they do a very fun craft and the kids eat free. He runs to the craft table and stays there for about an hour and half and then eats his cold free dinner on the way home, if at all. The only problem is there is about 100 people there, Jeremy always says "I know this is against fire code", and I can not stomach Chickfila once a week. So I looked for an art class for Preston and could not find a thing...I am so bugged by this. After a quick trip to Michael's and $25 later Thursday Craft Afternoon was born. Here is one of our sessions. If anyone knows of some craft classes let me know!!! Preston will love you for it.
