Pledge of Allegiance

Katie and Ryan Groom got invited by our principal, Mrs. Pate to lead the School Board Meeting in the Pledge of Allegiance tonight. They were quiet, but they did terrific!

 Mrs. Pate is introducing them to Dr. Marshall and the School Board Members.

Lookin' a lot like Christmas!

It's the day after Thanksgiving and it's our tradition to decorate Mom's Christmas Tree...



 Aunt Sunny brought a Polar Bear Craft for everyone...





Aren't the cute!! The earmuffs were Rylie's idea! Thanks Aunt Sunny!

Happy Thanksgiving

What are you most thankful for?

Katie: "My family, Buck, Lucy, food to eat, clothes to wear and Jesus dying on the cross for me."
Rylie: "Mommy because she reads books to me, Daddy because he makes me breakfast and Katie because she plays with me."

 Rylie's turkey cookie that a terrific mom made for her class at school!

Last time he went hunting, Rylie said "be sure and get a big cantaloupe!" We assume she meant antelope...ha!

Born To Be An Aggie

Some people say that our girls are warped, but after this weekend in Aggieland, I just can't picture a better place for their college experience...


 Headed to the game!

 The girls with the 12th Man Statue!

 It was "Military Appreciation" Day at Kyle Field and we saw President George H.W. Bush inducted into the Honory Corps...very special. 

 There's Reveille about to lead the team through the tunnel!



 The girls were so very excited about their first Aggie Game!!




 The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band!




 Gary Sinise was President George H.W. Bush's guest of honor at the game.



 Half Time!!

 The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band is so good!

We got to see the "Block T" built with every member of the Corps of Cadets (over 2000 members) for the first time since 1956...so awesome!


 The girls wanted to pet Reveille so bad, but it just wasn't going to happen.  Then, they were very jealous when I told them that I had a class with her and got to pet her and take a picture with her.
 Gig' Em!!
 Very happy Aggies in the stands after this game!!

Middle of Kyle Field!
 Just takin' a walk around the campus...





Love this one!

 My cutie!
The "Century Tree", the famous tree of Texas A&M.
 Me and My Little Ags!

 Yummy dinner at Roadhouse after the game!
And if our day wasn't full enough, we surprised the girls with going to see "Happy Feet"!


Isn't that sweeeeeet!

The next morning, we took a drive around the campus and stopped at a few places...
 The Association of Former Students had some statues that we had to check out!

We took a walk around the "Bonfire Memorial" to remember those who had fallen during the Bonfire collapse in November of 1999.
 We couldn't leave College Station without a little "Freebirds" for lunch!
 To top it off, we saw this rainbow on the ride home!!
We had the very best weekend...WHOOP!!
