Trip to the Houston Space Center

In January we took the kids to the Houston Space Center because there was a new Angry Birds exhibit that Conner wanted to see.  The kids had a really good time, although the Angry Birds exhibit was not what we expected and was really just a large playscape.

Caroline's 5th Birthday

Caroline really wanted to have a swimming party for her 5th birthday, and given that we live by a big city, we could make that happen.  The party was held at the Houston Swim Club in Pearland and Caroline invited her closest friends and all her cousins.  Everyone had a great time swimming in January!

Red River, NM Ski Trip 2012-213

We decided to take another trip to Red River, NM during Conner's Christmas break since the kids had so much fun last year. This year the snow and fun did not disappoint. Our first night and first full day in Red River it snowed a lot. The kids loved playing in the fresh snow. Catherine didn't know what to think at first, but quickly came to like the snow and was constantly trying to eat it. This was a very cold trip with every morning being around -20 degrees. It did warm up to the teens when the sun came out. Conner and Caroline both improved their skills. Wes ended the trip by taking both of them on a green and neither fell getting on or off the lift.


The pictures are posted in reverse order since I realized too late that it would not post all of them at the same time.


Caroline (pink) and Wes (navy) are in the middle of the picture on a green trail.

I took these pictures on our return trip home.  I thought the frozen trees were so pretty we stopped and took a picture.
