More Family

Allison got to meet another Great Grandmother last weekend. My Grandma and Aunt came down to meet our little princess and they also got to see Jonathan march. Aunt Joanne got to stay at our house which was nice, and Grandma stayed right down the street with my parents. Allison performed all her tricks for them and we are so glad they got to come see us! We will be staying in the South for Christmas this year (something we haven't done since we have been married) so it was nice to see them.

In other news the Coppell Band is going to state!! YEA!!! Yesterday was the Area marching contest and all though we couldn't go, Dad kept us informed of everything that was going on. They performed at 3:15 the first time, and they qualified for finals that night. (I think there were about 17 bands in the first round and they took 6 for the second round that night) Coppell was the last band to perform that night (9:15pm) and 3 bands qualified to go to state. Coppell got 1st place!!! The state marching contest will be in San Antonio this year, so they will miss a few days of school (Nov 4th is the actual contest) I remember traveling to Austin my freshman year for state and I think my Junior year it was in Waco. Fun times! It's exciting to see Jonathan getting to experience all the things Benjamin and I got to do. He sure is growing up!!

Deep in the Heart Of Texas

Jason's Grandparents (his Mom's side) live in San Angelo. So we took a trip to see them a few weekends ago. Allison falls asleep really well in the car, so we were interested to see how the 5 hour trip went. Hmmm, not that great. She fell asleep fine, but only slept 30 minutes at a time. So She took 2 thirty min. naps during the entire trip. It was nice to get away for the weekend. The trip back was about the same, although I drove much more on the way home. Here are some pics.

Proof that Jason did the dishes. Acutally since we have been back Jason has done the dishes almost every night! Incredible!!

The Lake

My Aunt Carol came to visit us from Colorado. She met us at the lake and spent the weekend with us. She got some great pictures.

Doesn't it look like she is talking into a microphone??

My Dad is standing outside with her and they are looking in through the window, I don't know what she is staring at!

Great Aunt Carol got Allison her first Doll, she is licking it here, she loves it! Thanks Aunt Carol.

Allison is now looking forward to meeting her Great Grandma Butterbaugh and Great Aunt Joanne, bring on the kisses!
