ICE STORM 2009

We had an ice storm that lasted from last night through today. Christophers school was closed both Tue and Wed. Chris got home last night. This morning we woke up and EVERYTHING was coated in 1/4 inch of ice. I didnt go to work until 1pm and there was still ice under the overpasses. Tonight the remaining moisture should freeze again. I hate driving in the ice!!

Rob & Kellie's visit to TX

Rob and Kellie came out to visit for the weekend. We packed a lot into a few days. Thurs night we went out to Springcreek BBQ with Chris, Friday we went to Dwtn Dallas and then to Joes Crab Shack. Saturday we spent the day at the Stockyards and watched a cattle drive and a shootout. We then explored dwtn Ft. Worth and went back to the SY to watch a live rodeo. It was awesome!

We had such a great time!

Girls Night Out

This was our second girls night out. We went shopping, out to eat and watched The Curious Case of Benjemin Button at the movies. We went to the Shops of Highland Village which is a really cool place to hang out!

The Million Dollar Project

Christopher had an assignment for school called the Million Dollar Project. His objective was if he had a million dollars what would he spend it on. He could only use $1,000 for charity and only have 2 cars. Of course he bought a Lambourgini and a house on the beach. He donated to the SPCA and bought a cat. The rest he spent on a boat, electronics and clothes. A million dollars just doesnt seem to go as far these days!!
