Rest of Pics..as promised

A Few Family Pics

So the Middletons and DeGroots got all dressed up in matching colors and decided to take some family pics up by the pond behind Bill & Patti's house yesterday. Hopefully, I can add more later of the whole fam, but for now, I just have a few that we took with our camera....

This one would have been GREAT except my JUNK CAMERA got blurry! :(

Quick Update

Well, here in the CO foothills, we finally got our first snow of the winter. Though, as you can see from the pics, it was barely a dusting. And sadly enough, it doesn't look as though more will be coming anytime soon. Darn global warming!!!! :) haha

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update but there's not really much to tell. We have just been working, eating, sleeping and throwing a few church functions in there. It seems as though Chris and I will be joining the choir for the Christmas Show at our church, and we have really been digging deeper with our small group, too.

Well, I suppose that it is for now. I just didn't want anyone to continually be disappointed with no new posts, if you were one of the few regular checkers! :) Have a blessed weekend!

Hol & Chris

Texas

So from last Wednesday through yesterday, we were in TX. We went for the Nascar races at the TX Motor Speedway and also got to catch up with a few friends and fam members too. So some pics are posted following this post, but I did not do captions for any of them or organize them cuz I really hate the way this silly blog is setup and just don't have the patience right now to make the time to organize everything and make it look all pretty. So I do apologize for that but hope that you still enjoy the pics. :)
Before we get to that, though, I will give you a brief rundown of our time in TX....
We got there on Wed night and my dad and lil sis, Autumn picked us up.
On Thursday we ran around like mad.....we had lunch with Autumn at Burleson HS, stopped by to see my friend Amanda (and her precious pregnant belly) at her work, saw my grandparents in Wfd and did a lil driving around to see all the new stuff out there along with some old places that I got to show Chris. Then we had dinner with my friend Melissa and her fiancee, Derek in Joshua and then met dad, his wife, belinda and Autumn at On the Border.
Friday, we slept in a lil and did a lil shopping at the local WalMart for some Cowboys apparel for me since all we can get here is STUPID broncos stuff-YUCK! Then we headed to the Speedway and looked at the tons of things they had outside as far as booths, activities and shopping go. That was fun, and then we watched the Nationwide and Cup Series qualify. Then we headed to Arlington to see the prgoress on the new (and HUGE and AMAZING) Cowboys Stadium, and had a lil Taco Bueno for dinner-one of my FAVE places to eat in the entire world!
Saturday, we got up and headed to the Speedway for the Nationwide Race. And we baked like lil eggs in the TX sun. It was Nov 1st, and it was 90 DEGREES!!!!! Then we headed to my friend, Kellye's, new and gorgeous house in grand Prairie to see some of my college friends, Dave and Allison, who had come in from Abilene and to have a lil post-Halloween Costume Party.
Sunday, our friends made us a yummy breakfast and we headed to the Big Race. It was hot again, but we had a good time! And it only took us 2 hours to get home after the race in the traffic! Which is awful, but if you know anything about that part of the metroplex, esp during race weekends, 2 hours is not too shabby! :)
Monday, dad took off so we had some lunch with him before we headed to the airport, and well, that's about it! :)
We had a blast and the time off was VERY NICE! Hope you like the pictures!!!!! :) ...........
