Holiday Card Outtakes

Here are all of the outtakes from my attempt at taking my own holiday card picture this year.  I had to bribe the boys by promising to take pictures of them hitting golf balls, throwing a football, etc.

The Jones' Thanksgiving Feasts

And finally, here are pictures from the Jones' not-so-traditional Thanksgiving Feasts.  Pizza Truck for Wednesday night supper and Katy Trail Ice House for Thanksgiving Lunch...both were a hit, and might be new traditions in-the-making (fingers crossed).

Marty's Thanksgiving Feast

Eli's Thanksgiving Feast

We all joined Eli (aka Running Horse) for his Thanksgiving Feast this year:

Happy Halloween!

 Spiderman and our Power Ranger wish you a Happy Halloween!  Also included in the pictures is one of Marty and his friend, Luke, at their Kindergarten Halloween Party.

The State Fair of Texas

Here are pictures of our afternoon at the State Fair with the Adams family.  We lucked out, in that Jenny took such amazing pictures, and that we got to see Big Tex before he was "singed."

Our Kickin' Chicken

Our Kickin' Chicken isn't all that interested in playing organized soccer, but the highlight of the season has been playing with his friends (who are sometimes on the opposing team) on the sidelines.

Here Eli's friend, Romi, is applying his chapstick for him.  A few more pictures from the season....
