Pancakes

Well those of you that really know me know that I love to use stuff out of a box. I do like to try new recipes, but during the week when we are getting ready for school it is whatever you can find in the freezer for breakfast. But while we were at a friends house last weekend she shared a recipe for homemade pancakes. So Cole and I decided we needed to make them on Saturday. He helped mix the batter and helped me pour the batter into the pan. Yes he is a lot like his daddy and loves to help in the kitchen. The final outcome is the recipe is a hit. The kids and I thought they were yummy pancakes.

Emma's Braces

Man I was hoping that we could hold off a little longer, but it looks like they say no. We went to the dentist the beginning of February and he said take her to an orthodontist. So we went and made a consultation appointment with the orthodontist and low and behold we need to do something about these front teeth now. She has a cross bite and he said she can loose some of her front teeth because they are rubbing into the bottom teeth and could cause them to get loose. If they get loose enough then she could permently loose her teeth up top. Guess that is a good story. So we worked on the finance part because man those things are expensive. And on feb 28th Emma got a filling on a cavity and then we headed to the orthodontist and got the process started. This girl has a mouth worth some gold. Maybe I joined the wrong career field. Lol.

AZLE All City Choir

Emma was one out of nine kids that were chosen to participate in all city choir from our school. She loved it. It meant she had practice every Tuesday from four to six but she was getting to do something she absolutely loves, SING! They did a great concert.

Fishing at the Bass Pro Shop

On Sunday march 10th, we were sitting in the living room watching animal planet with Cole. While it was on commercials it advertised that fishing was available for the kids. Well Cole was able to convince his daddy of going. So we loaded up and headed to grapevine. The kids had fun even though they had to wait in a really long line. Josh was a sweet daddy and held our spot while we walked around and looked at boats. Sure wish we were rich and could afford one. They have some really nice ones out there! Emma wasn't too sure about fishing but after some convincing she decided to try it. As long as she didn't have to touch the fish she was good. Cole on the other hand loved it. He had some much fun catching a little bitty stinky fish. Guess we need to now try to convince his daddy of taking him fishing sometime.

Cole and his spring break haircut

Well we decided to cut Josh and Cole's hair on Sunday. Man I should not have let josh get ahold of cole. He now has a line down the middle of his head with this hair sticking up. To top it off, they decided to use blue hair gel to spike it. Yes I am happy to say that Sunday before school starts back up, this hair cut will be going away!

Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has a nice and relaxing day. We are headed to west Texas to see Josh's family for Christmas. Guessing the kids enjoyed their Santa because they are sound asleep making the car ride peaceful. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Christmas

Yesterday at church, the kids from the congregation got to participate in the sermon. Ours were very excited. Cole was a Shepard and Emma was a shepards wife. I have not ever seen a church do this for a sermon and it was precious. Hope everyone has a wonderful and merry Christmas. Love y'all, the skipper family!
