Derby Car Race

Nathan at boys of Iron (at church) derby car race- this is a big deal! We had no idea! You get the wooden car, decorate it and put weights and wheels on it. Someone gave Nathan a 20 + page detailed manual on making it go faster-- incredible! Nathan's car is the blue one- it came in second in his heat.

Drew at his gymnastics class- they all got medals at the end of the quarter. He finally got into it and enjoyed it by January! So, we did re-enroll! : ) 

Spring 09

Nathan's playing basketball (no 10) this season- his first time to play and already making baskets-- he's on a team with slightly younger kids but so far, I'd say it's been a confidence booster. He's happy to play! 

Nathan learned how to ride his bike over Christmas break!  Whaho! Now there's no stopping him... even with 2 skinned elbows! He's riding to school everyday with his best buddy, Josh across the street. Never been happier! It's good to be a kid.

Opening gifts at our house with my Dad, Marcee and Aunt Paula... Christmas never ends here! : ) The boys were in heaven!

Dec 2008

My roommate from college, Gayle Henderson, came to Houston from Denver for a visit-- poor thing, I dragged her to Pilates, yoga and a cycle class with me! We also enjoyed some great tex-mex and Indian food and shopping at the Galleria! (Come back soon, Gayle!! I miss ya!) 

Merry Christmas

Christmas Day at the Smith household in The Woodlands, Texas. Nathan got everything on his Santa wish list (Indiana Jones and Star Wars action figures) and then some! Drew loves his firetruck from Grandma and Paw Paw. Yes, that's right, a few went swimming, Drew stuck it out the longest- thank goodness for Grandma's heated hot tub! 

Jason's grandparents joined us, Mimi (90) and Din Din (89), as well as Jason's Aunt Kathy, his brother, Erick & wife Shelly with kids, Adam (in the Santa hat) and Marly. 

New Year's at Craig's house in Dallas. My nieces (Tory (and boyfriend), Britney (and boyfriend), Holly and nephew, Blake enjoy opening gifts!
