Christmas Day!

Today, we had Santa for Grant at Lacy and Daniel's house.

Our smallest present!

Hoffman Christmas '08

This weekend we had the Hoffman family together for Christmas.

This is our whole little family. It turned out pretty good considering we had 2 small ones to look the same direction at the same time.

(Daniel, Winonah, Fletcher, Jane, Frank, Lacy, Greg, Grant, Laura, and Artie)

Fletcher and I working with some "Handy Manny" tools.

Artie with his sucker fish.
We took Fletcher to meet some of Vanessa's (a friend) horses.

Thankful Thursday!

I am having our Thanksgiving feast today with my kids at school. We have been talking all week about being thankful. Thought I would share some of my own as we are getting close to the real holiday.
I am thankful for...

• having a job where I can hang out with kids all day that teach me more about myself than I could ever learn on my own. They show me daily how much fun life can be and that little things mean the most.
• a husband that always keeps me on my toes. He challenges my thinking and pushes me to be a better person. He loves me even with all of my faults. We have had some hard times with our fertitily process and he has been there every step of the way.
• friends! I have friends that have stuck with me for up to 17 years. (That makes me sound old!) They are loyal, funny, and are a joy to be around.
• family. I especially love the youngest members of my family. I have 5 nephews and could squeeze all of them until they pop! :)
• Lola. She drives me nuts sometimes, but she is always willing to snuggle up with me and give me kisses.
• Jesus. With Christmas coming up, I can only think about what Mary and Joseph were thinking when that little baby came into the world that would eventually save all of us. I can only imagine what that would have been like. What a great gift we have. I am most thankful for the grace, peace, and understanding of our Lord and Savior.

I challenge you to post what you are thankful for this season. Happy Turkey Day! (A week early)

The coolest race car driver

Fletcher @ Halloween

It is a little late coming, but got this from Greg and had to post it. His mustache just cracked me up. He is just loving cars at the moment, so this character was perfect for him.

A night of football in Ennis!

Artie was suppose to be gone this weekend, so I made plans to go to the Ennis football game with my mom, Lacy, Daniel and Grant.

This is Grant's new little hat.

Me and Grant chillin' literally at the game.

Not so happy

Love his new hat

Lola got in my spot on the couch as soon as I got up.

Just a random pic - but I love my Lola!

Check this out. It is a church here in Dallas that had this as a sermon. It mad me cry, so don't do what I did - put on my make up and watch it at school! ENJOY!

NKOTB Concert

Ok ladies that are NKOTB fans! Be jealous! We went to their concert last night and it was GREAT! Here are some pics from the concert and a couple of videos. I haven't felt like I was 12 in a LONG time.

The boys right after they came out.

Lee Ann covering her ears from all the screaming girls!

Lacy and Lee Ann on the ride to Manny's restaurant.

Vanessa too.

This was on the big round stage right in front of us.

Before the concert...trying to stay warm.

They are coming!

Look at how many 30 year old screaming, crazy women are on one room!?!


Click, click, click!




My lovely Jordan! He was way hotter in person!


Ok - this video is FUNNY - right after I pan to see my friends, look at Joey in the black. He picks up a bra (nothing less than a DD mind you) and starts swinging it around like a flag. It was too funny!

This video is showcasing Jordan. I liked the end of this song, so I thought I would share.
