New Year's with the Tinos

-


Over the past several year's we have made it a tradition to spend New Year's with our best friends from college---The Valentine's.   When it first started we would spend New Year's Eve out on the town, once in Dallas, once in Houston---partying the night away.   6 years ago when I was pregnant with Rheagan we rented a hummer(I was the driver, since I was the prego one) , went to dinner downtown and spent the rest of the night at home.  Now with the kids in the picture,  we have settled down a bit.  We cook dinner, do fireworks, put the kids to bed and drink and dance in the kitchen until we simply can't stay awake any longer.    I wouldn't have my new years eve any other way---we have WAY too much fun.   Here are a few pictures from this year.  






and no, I did not approve of holding the fireworks....that was a daddy thing....



Ryane did love the sparklers!!








These 2 are from previous years.....

To my sweet baby girl--can't believe you just turned 6. Where have these 6 years gone.   I look at you and I can’t believe what a an amazing kid you have become.  You seem so small at times and then you speak and the whole world turns to listen to what my little “big girl” has to say.  You are AMAZING.   You are so smart.  You have learned so much this year.   You can tie your shoes, you love gymnastics, you can read, you have been tested into the GT program at school, your teachers love you, your friends love you, and you are a great student.   We are so proud. I love how you pay attention to every little detail of everything.   You never cease to amaze me at how much you know about “everything”.     I love how good you are at gymnastics---You are just built for it.    You are strong and your coaches just can’t get enough of you.    I love how you always want yo...

In January last year I started a photo project called For the Love.....30 days of photos, 1 photo each day, all black and white.     I love all of the images I got and promised myself I would do them every January, every year.   I actually had an album made from last year's images.   I LOVE IT....  This January, I started out on my FTL project but only got about 4 days in before I decided it wasn't going to work....We had so much rain in January and in February that I had a really hard time getting images.   Plus, with daylight savings time and cloudy skies in the afternoon I had no chance of getting any good light for pictures once I got home from work.    So this year I am changing up my FTL project a little.   I am going to wait and start this project in June---when I am home and can really spend some time on it.  I think I will also mix in some color images.....haven't decided yet....guess we will see in June. Soooo, instead I...

So it's Thursday..... 1.Guess where I'm going tonight.......BRING IT ON!!!!!  I am so excited, Bring it on the Musical is at the Hobby Center and I'VE GOT TICKETS!   I know it's cheesy but for 1,  I love going to the theater, and 2,  I love anything and everything cheerleading---brings me back to my childhood!   2.  I am so sick of this rain---this gloomy weather makes me want to stay in bed.  I'm ready to see the sun--I've got Spring Fever.   I can't wait for warm weather, the beach, vacations, and spending time with the family.  Every year we vacation to the New Braunsfels with the inlaws, to Livingston with my parents, to the Ranch in Segno and then we plan our vacation--kid vacation, adult vacation we trade off every other summer.   This summer is an adult vacation---the kids are going with the grandparents and we are hitting a beach somewhere---I can't wait.  **although a little part of me is gonna miss disney world. ...
