Robbie's basketball

Believe it or not, basketball is harder to photograph than football or volleyball... Here is Robbie in his first game against Hunt. We won by quite a bit.

Here he is in his second game against Johnson City. We should have beat that team badly, but barely squeaked by with a 1-point victory.


Livi is not very interested in basketball. She just likes to run around the halls.

Here I am at 23 weeks and 4 days... wearing jersey #4 for Baby4 :)

I tried to catch Livi smiling for the camera for a change... but no go. She isn't into smiling these days.

Livi wishes Robbie a 'Happy Birthday'

I'm going to try uploading a video of Livi wishing Robbie 'Happy Birthday!'

Happy 13th Robbie!

We celebrated Robbie's 13th Birthday last week - I can't believe I now have 2 teenagers in the house!

He got 2 of his favorite books...

An UnderArmour jacket...

Aaaaaand.....




A cell phone. I know, I know...

The week before, NaNe and PaPa came and we had a small celebration with them as well.

Happy 13th Robbie!

A relaxing football game

Mom and Dad came to our first playoff football game vs Karnes City last Friday night. I have to say - it was the most enjoyable football game I've attended this year. Livi was completely entertained by NaNe and PaPa. No climbing on my belly, no going up and down the stairs, no squealing when the raisins run out, etc.

Hmmmm...... what is that in Livi's mouth? Looks like she's enjoying whatever it is.

Ah, its a Snickers bar, courtesy of NaNe.

Blanco won 53-0 and I enjoyed most of the game. Now, how to convince Mom and Dad they need to come to all of Jeff's basketball games? Ha!

Blanco plays in the Regional playoff game vs. Rogers this Friday, Nov. 20th at The Palace in Round Rock, Tx. Kickoff is 7:30 pm.

Emma's Big Play Debut!

Here she is - our newest actress!

Emmalee had her debut in the high school's fall production of The Rivers and Ravines. She did a fantastic job! We are so proud of how well she did - teachers, students, and people from town can't stop talking about how impressed they were with Emma's performance.

Mom and Dad came up to see her on the second night - they loved the show as well!

Emma and I after opening night.

And here she is with Jesse T. - her play "husband" ;)

We are so proud of Emmalee - she has really started blooming the past few years. For the second straight 6 weeks in a row she has made the A/B Honor Roll - not an easy feat with Chemistry and Geometry on the schedule. She did well in volleyball, is about to start golf and wowed everyone with her acting abilities! Such a great daughter!

Livi and her best friend

Getting two 20 month old girls to pose together for a picture is nearly impossible... especially when there are cheerleaders, candy and old women cooing over them the whole time.

This is about as close as we got.



They go to daycare together and their brothers' are in the same class - so these two see a lot of eachother. What started off as a rivalry has now turned into a friendship.
So cute!

7th Grade Panthers - undefeated!!

Congrats to the 7th grade Blanco Panther football team! They had an undefeated season for 2009 - they finished off the Harper Longhorns last night 0-18.

This was Coach Mouser's last game - he'll be retiring at the end of this year... next fall while the boys are getting all sweaty practicing in 1st period, he'll be sitting on his backporch reading the paper and sipping coffee.

Here is The Coach and The Boy. Why can't The Coach smile?

Pick Six in action!

Robbie and Dylan - their first (of hopefully many more) undefeated season together.

Sonogram pics for Baby4!

I have to start out by saying this baby moves more than any of my other 3! There is constant kicking, squirming and dancing going on in my tummy... and in this picture we could even see the baby's mouth moving! He/She was saying 'hi!' to Mommy!

Here is a really good profile of the face... again, I already think he/she looks like Daddy.

This was cute to watch - Baby4 is playing with his/her toes. He/she kept grabbing at the foot and wiggling around...

And one last pic of the face!

Even the U/S tech commented on how much the baby was moving - she had a hard time getting clear pics and had to re-do her measurments a few times because the baby would jump around so much.

But the news was great! Baby4 is perfectly healthy and growing right on schedule :)

Halloween 09!!!

Livi was an elephant for her first year of Trick-or-Treating.

She was all ready! She would say "Tick Teet," although it was a very quiet mumble.







But she would say "Thank You" as we turned and walked off. Then she would wave goodbye. How sweet!

Here she is with her Daddy. She held our hands the whole time and walked to nearly every house. Only at the end did she get tired.

She wasn't too sure about this lady. She was trying to give her a spider ring. "I want candy!! Not some stupid ring!"

Say "Cheese!"

It was time to head home and Daddy volunteered to carry her back to the car.

And of course we have to throw a fit for the only picture I tried to make her pose for... yep, its time to go home for sure.
