DFW Road Trip

Jud had a TCU Alumni board meeting in Ft. Worth the weekend of February 21. Lindsey and Miller tagged along to see some friends. What a great weekend!

We walked around TCU's campus and saw all the new construction. I can't believe how much it has changed in ten years. Miller loved seeing the horned frog.

We stayed two nights with Maggie and Micah in Ft. Worth. Eli and Miller are best buds and had so much fun.

Eli even taught Miller some of his wrestling moves. Thanks to the Maggie and Micah for us letting crash at your house.

Lindsey and Miller met one of Lindsey's old friends, Lauren Bostwick, at a mall on Friday. It was so much fun to finally see her kiddos. Miller and Bryson had a great time driving the cars and trains.

On Friday night we went to the Storms' house with Ricky and Shea. They are so much fun and set up their bounce house in their playroom. Miller had a blast with Laura and Bryce.

While we were at Bryan and Carrie's, Miller climbed in the doll pack-n-play and tried to go nite-nite. Too funny.

On Saturday we headed to Dallas and stayed with the Lindley's. Miller and Addison had a lot of fun playing together.

They even took a bath together.

Here they are looking for the dogs. Addison is only two months younger than Miller, but Miller seemed like a giant next to her. Thanks to Courtney and Stephanie for being such great hosts!Before we drove back to Houston on Sunday, we stopped by Erin & Mat Threadgill's. Miller had lots of fun playing with Katie and it was great to finally meet Caroline. Too bad we don't get to see them more often.

Hanging with Daddy

Miller loves Daddy! Here are some pictures of them hanging out in early February.

Kisses.

Wearing Daddy's hat.

Zoo with Friends

We spent Saturday, January 31 at the zoo with our friends Jeff, Nina and Sophia Shokrian. It was great weather and the kids had so much fun.

Miller loves the fish.

Dad's and kiddos.

Miller gets super excited to see the animals.

Jud's First Deer

Jud went to his partner Jimmy's ranch outside of San Antonio and shot his first deer. It was a small doe, but it was all about population control and some good venison.

GraMary

While we were in Costa Rica, GraMary came down and stayed with Miller. They had lots of fun going to the mall, the park and Little Gym. Thanks so much for coming down GraMary (Mimi).

Costa Rica

Right after the first of the year we took a trip with the Argue family to Costa Rica for Joe's 60th birthday. It was a great trip - adventure and relaxation.

We rented a house in Manuel Antonio. It was up in the rain forest overlooking the Pacific. We had a chef that cooked us one meal a day. Ernesto was fabulous.

This is our living room and our view.

Looking down from the top floor (4th floor) at our pool.

Howler Monkey in the trees just outside our living room. When they howl, they sound like the grim reaper.

Three-toed sloth. Yes, they move really slow.

Squirrel monkey. They are really small, a little bigger than a squirrel.

A white-face capuchin monkey.

A white-face capuchin coming into our house. We had several in our living room.

In our living room before dinner one night with the sunset in the background.

Lindsey zip lining. We did 7 different lines.

The group on a zip line platform (it was really small).

At a restaurant that is built around an old airplane. The restaurant is under the wings and the bar is actually in the plane and you can go in the cockpit. The sunsets were so beautiful there.

We went waterfall climbing and rappelling. It was really hard but so much fun. We are all so proud of Pam for doing it.

Jud rappelling down the 80 foot waterfall.

Snorkeling on our sunset sail. We saw/touched a really cool jelly fish. We also went scuba diving, but the visibility wasn't great. We did manage to see an eel, lobsters and lots of fish.

On the beach in the National Park. Happy birthday Joe and thanks for everything!

Miller's First Haircut

Miller got his first haircut just in time for the new year.

He loved the little car he got to sit in and drive.

He hated the smock and wouldn't keep it on. He kind of looks like a devil child here, but he's not at all.

He was all smiles when he got a lolly pop. He's never had one before, but he knew exactly what it was and was so excited. I don't even think he realized he was getting his hair cut. He does still have some curls left, so mom is happy.

Christmas Morning

Santa came and brought Miller all sorts of fun toys.

His favorite toy of all is the vacuum. He won't put it down.

After we had our Christmas at our house, we went to Noni & JoJo's and opened all our gifts there. Miller got an Elmo Live. He loves to dance with him.

He also got a tricycle. He's not quite ready to ride it on his own, but he loves to be pushed and push it himself.

Aunt Evan gave him a big basketball goal.

After all the presents were opened, Miller had fun playing in all the bows.

Christmas Eve

Miller's First Kiss

Yep, Miller got his first kiss at 15 months old. Miss Sophia laid one on him.

Look how cute they are together.
