Finally updated!

Hey family!! Sorry it took me so long just to get the Christmas pics up! (Check out the "Montvale Hotel" post I just added along with all the Christmas stuff. It got mixed in between some previous posts, and might be easy to miss.) I've been working hard at school with my research and teaching botany labs. I also started teaching a biology class at the community college in Altus. Then to top it off, I decided to become a PartyLite consultant. What am I thinking!? I guess I thought I wasn't busy enough...Ha! I hope you all enjoy the new pics I put up. Love ya!

Fun in Lakewood

We had a great time in Lakewood with mom and dad. Mom and I went birdwatching. It was cold! We braved the weather as long as possible and saw a few good birds. I didn't get any pictures of birds but I did get a picture of the cool lichens growing on everything!
We also visited the science center. We saw the Dead Sea Scrolls, which was a great experience! We also saw lots of insects, including all kinds of butterflies. Some of the insects were giant plastic ones!! Hee hee....But most of them were real. I got some great pics of butterflies and here's a couple. It was also neat to see the Space Needle lit up at night.
Mom and I had fun at home playing Dance Dance Revolution. It was Mom's Christmas present from Rachel and James. I had so much fun that Brian bought for me when we got home!! I was practically addicted to it for the first couple of weeks. Then I got so busy, I was having withdrawals!!
Brian had a great time working with Dad at the computer store for a few days. He would have gone every day if I let him!
We had such a wonderful time in Washington for Christmas. Thank you so much Mamaw for making it possible. I miss all of you and can't wait to see you the next time!

Christmas in Spokane

Christmas at Mamaw's was so much fun! I think Isabel and Hope enjoyed passing out the presents. It was great staying with Mamaw and getting to spend time with her. (I miss you Mamaw and love you!!!)

Hope's Birthday

We were able to attend Hope's birthday party. I have the two cutest cousins ever! They are so sweet too! It was a blessing for us to be able to spend time with them. We love you and miss you girls! Oh, it was nice to see Uncle Kasey and Aunt Tanya too!!!!
