Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Short Christmas Video

I finally figured out our new camera's video functions! Here is a short video of the kids decorating the Christmas Tree.

USMC Snipers with Police Rifles.........

I went with a good friend of mine (Detective Pete; the kids know him as Coach Pete) on a ride along last night. We stopped 4 armed robberies, busted 3 drug dealers, and "suppressed a lot of evil"! Okay, maybe it wasn't that dramatic. But, I was able to shoot the department's fully automatic FN-P90 rifle. I pulled off the first nine shots single shot before going to automatic........see target picture for results of the first nine shots! Had a Blast!

Christmas Tree is up!

The family got all of our decorations up yesterday!

"Mayin" in action.

Drake Baseball Pictures

Fall baseball ended a few weeks ago. But, one of the kids on the team's uncle is a professional sports photographer. He took close to 800 pictures of the kids at our last game this year and I just received the photo CD this week. I have pulled out a few of Drake and Mason. The above is Drake. I will make a separate post for Mason.

Christmas on the Square

Last night we all went to the annual Denton Christmas on the Square. All of us and a few other thousand people filled the square to see all of the lights be lit. The kids did some crafts, decorated cookies, seen baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and........Santa Claus stopped by to visit. They were all able to let him know what they want; Kade loved Santa but did not ask for anything, Sage asked for more dolls, Mason asked for a desk and a radio for his bedroom, and Drake asked for Gameboy games and Transformers.
