Jenna's Birthday Party

Jenna's 7th Birthday Party was our first American Girl experience. I was a little in shock over the entire thing, but the girls seemed to have a good time. They didn't care that they had to borrow dolls to dine with.
Happy Birthday Jenna!!!!

Sparx vs Diamonds

Well, week 2 brought warmer weather and the second team that played last year. We don't keep score and that's a really good thing because it would have been very one-sided.

The red-head was their star player. Before the game Rylee said she knew her from church and Brad and I swore that she didn't, but the next day there she was. Rylee took the pictures that she isn't in.

Sparx vs Wildcats

Rylee is playing soccer this year for the first time. Brad is her coach...let's just say it is an adventure for both of them.

Our first game was freezing and windy!

Reese's 3rd birthday party---still to come, but here is a great picture Angela took of Reese at the Super Bowl party.

Happy Birthday, Reeser, we love you lots!!!!

Bretley Slate Lyons

Bret was born while we were at Seminar and we drove down to San Angelo after I finished school on that Friday. He was born on February 16, 2009 and weighed 8lb 4oz, only 1 ounce bigger than Rylee did. The girls really did enjoy holding him--at least for a little bit.

Chick-fil-A Seminar 2009--Long Beach, CA

Seminar this year was in Long Beach, California. It was cold and rained almost the entire time, but we still had fun. We flew into LAX and we saw a few celebrities in the airport. On the trip home, we rode the plane with Jessica Simpson. I have a few pictures of her luggage and tour bus at DFW.

While at seminar we had some celebrity speakers that included Kirk Cameron, Rick Warren, Nicole C. Mullens, and several football coaches.

Brad and I toured the Queen Mary and Brad received an award for reaching $2 million in his store for the first time. We are looking forward to next year in Washington, D.C.
