Ready to Run
Miss Olivia ran her 1st 5k at the candy came fun run! We made it a family event, as any good Lawton would do. Kolby ran circles around me and dashed to the finish line shouting , "see ya later mom!" We left feeling sweaty, accomplished, and whistling "Once there was a snowman"...kinda perfect;)

"We make our friends, we make our enemies, but God makes our next door neighbor."
Thats the quote i gave Jim and Stephanie for Christmas this year. Mr Jim has been my husband's neighbor for 20 years now.
Over the last 6 years we've called on them for everything from a ladder to a helping hand during a flood to a babysitter and of course the cliche cup of sugar which in our case happens nearly every Sunday and includes milk, eggs, and butter.
Our Christmas present from them was, quite fittingly, a case of butter and powdered sugar from Costco. For the kids they set up Christmas lights and decor knowing what a scrounge Daniel is ;) Each holiday the kids look forward to the perfect festive shirts Ms Stephanie picks out. We always know our home is safe, our kids are spoiled and our cupboards are full thanks to our awesome neighbors!

Visitin' Dad
We're so proud of Daniel and his new job! Thanks for everything you sacrifice for our family!
H.E.B. equals Mecca;)
Naomi and may or may not have visited the new HEB around the corner not 1 but 2 times on opening day in November. I can't help it! Free samples, yummy pomegranates, and friendly people. Love it;)

Christmas Piano Recital 2012
Being a piano teacher is awesome!
Hearing your students play Christmas songs is pretty sweet!
Seeing your own children perform in your recital is fabulous:)

Give Thanks...
I'm giving thanks to reclaiming my blog after several months of errors...:)
it only took 1 hr for these photos to upload, ugh
and now the long awaited catch-up:
Thanksgiving 2012 in Beaumont, Texas
It wouldn't be a Lawton event without some sort of race.
The coolest part was that Kolby and Grandpa ran a 5k together!
Daniel and the Erwins also ran and placed!
We cheered, we met up with the Kennedys and the DeCaires's, and we feasted!
