"Date Night"

We all know how important a date night is for mommy and daddy. We have been blessed with a very good sitter that lives across the street from us. Kalee has a heart for the Lord and loves to serve. When their family comes over for dinner I have to remind Kalee to go play after dinner or I will find her sweeping the floors. She has been a God delivered angel to our family.

Ethan's First Day of School

God has been so good. Ethan has been accepted into the TALK program for the public school sysetm. He goes on Tues. and Thurs. morning. The bus picks him up at our door and drops him off. Ms. Jamie is one of his teachers. She is a christian and has been wonderful to Ethan. Ms. Jamie goes to church with one of our friends. One of Ethan's best friends is in his class. Sydney and Ethan go to church together and love playing together. We thought this would be good for Ethan o have someone that he knows in his classroom with him. Please notice his hair. He loved to have his hair done just so, and then do not dare to touch it.

Ashtons 1st day of School 8/9/06

Wow... school already... 3rd grade already.... Ashton was really excited about his first day. Mark and I both took him to shool this morning. He came home really excited about his new teacher.

Beating the Texas heat!

While Daddy works in the backyard the boy enjoy themselves in the fort and making their own slip N slide.

National Night Out

Is there a better way of spending National Night out??? Our community had a party at the pool. We decided that we would spend it in the pool.

Sled riding in Texas at 107 degree

Who says that you cant sled ride in Texas. The best part of buying something new that is very large is the box that it came in. The kids had a blast sledding down the back yard. Ashton always takes things to another level. He enjoyed skateboarding on the large pieces of cardboard.

Installing our outdoor kitchen

What would we have done if Charlie would have been at work???? Mark and Charlie worked on both of their outdoor kitchens for 3 days. They prepared for the concrete, poured it, leveled it and the finished product is yet to come.

This is our last long weekend before school starts. We went to San Antonio. On our way we stopped at a cavern that was really nice. In San Antonio we went to Sea World which was really nice. We also went to Schliterbaun which is very over rated. And the best part of the trip for mommy was the shopping at the outlets in San Marco. Wow... I had a blast. We went with our friends that live across the street from us. Our families had a great time together.

Ashton at Camp Sooner Church Camp

Mr. Neil was God sent for Ashton.... Mr. Neil was Ashton's counselor at camp. Ashton did not want to come home. He did not brush his teeth or take a shower for the 3 days that he was there. Maybe next year he will remember to do that...

Turner Falls

We enjoyed our stop at Turner Falls on our way to take Ashton and Bradley to Church Camp. The boys really enjoyed the water.

Ethan and McKenzie: McKenzie is our new neighbor. Ethan gets really excited when McKenzie comes over to play. They have a really good time together. Only one problem... they both want to be the boss.....

Go Rangers!!! We have been enjoying the professional sports that Fort Worth has to offer. These pictures are from a Family Game night for our church. Mark planned this as an outting for our church. There were 50 people there from our church.

We have really enjoyed the pool in our subdivision. Mark takes the boys everyday and some days 2 times. He so willingly takes several of the other children on our street. It sure is nice on a hot Texas day.

Breakfast with Mickey

This is the morning before we left and Ethan finally came out of his shell. He didn't put a napkin over his face when the characters came to see him.

Just pretending .... 

Magic Kingdom

This is the home of Ariel. We all enjoyed getting wet to cool off. 

Animal Kingdom... We were afraid that Disney might want to keep our children to feed them to the animals. It was very crowded at Animal Kingdom... 

Aunt Beth can you help me with my hellions!!! Help

Disney with the Liebdzinski family.... Reality is that our children did a really good job. We kept them out pretty late. Ethan took boxing lessons from Ryan and Logan. Michelle (my neice) and I. It was like we were never seperated. We just picked up where we left off. We hade a great time. It is really scary how much we are alike.

Ethan's 3rd Birthday at Disney

Ethan could not believe that Cinderella was going to celebrate his birthday with him. His facial expressions were worth a million dollars.
