New dog!

Yes, we adopted a new member to our family. Cameron named her Allie. She's a good dog and a good companion for Jake. They love to play with each other and see how many times they can run around in circles in the backyard and not hit the playset! Jake is faster, but Allie is smart in that she cuts corners so she can catch him! She came from the local shelter. She's already had kennel cough and been to see the vet. Not so cheap, I might add. Now both the boys have a dog - which Cameron will tell you they are "both our dogs".

We were out for 1 day this week because of the ice. Not too bad, although I was in the bed pretty much all day with a horrible headache. So, I wasn't much fun to hang out with on a non-school day! Luckily my sister was able to take the boys to a movie in the afternoon so I had a little peace and quiet!

Austin had a band concert last night, which was pretty good. All the area elementary schools gathered to perform songs together. Packed house, couldn't see anything, but at we least got to hear it! He "tries out" for baseball on Sat, which is just for fun since he is already frozen on the same team from last year. We just have to go through the mechanics I guess. And he's playing outdoor and indoor soccer this weekend. The weather is supposed to be so much nicer than earlier this week - they're talking in the low 70's - how weird is this?? That's Texas for ya!

That's all for now - this is 2 times in 1 month! I'm getting better!

Well, it's been about a month - maybe a little longer, since I posted so I guess I'll post! As things get busy around the house, I don't make the time to update as much as I should. So, I'm off today from work and decided it was time to blog. Plus, I was made aware that I hadn't blogged in a while, so this is for you , Dad. I think you're about the only one who reads this since you're the only one who says anything to me about it.

We had a good time in Arkansas for Christmas. Although we didn't have Cameron for 5 days, he was able to join us for the Lodge and Christmas with PawPaw. We had a very nice Christmas with lots of gifts! We were very blessed this season!

Austin is playing goalie for an indoor soccer team and will start outdoor soccer again in about a week. Baseball will start in a few weeks too. He will play again for North Garland Little League on the same team, Tigers. Today I took him to see the movie Valkerie. It was a good movie. Austin had already known about the col. Schafenberg (I think that's how to spell it) from watching the History channel. He was informing me of things about to happen during the movie. He is a WWII history buff and is a sponge when it comes to history. He also is very much into flying planes and wants to take flying lessons. He keeps saying he wants to be in the Navy.
Cameron is getting into the playstation addiction. He's beginning to play the games Austin had when he was younger. Right now his 2 games of choice are Lego Star Wars and Spyro. Dad, you'll be proud to know that his favorite book to read to himself on his new tag system is Walter the Farting Dog. There are a tons of fart sounds all throughout the book and it just makes Cameron laugh hysterically! You either have to laugh with him or walk away thinking it's gross. If I had more etiquette, I would probably walk away, but it's pretty funny. I think it's funnier watching Cameron get such a kick out of the farting!
I'm adding some pictures also, just read above them or below them for captions. That's all for now, I'll try to update more often, maybe.
