Open House

March has a been a busy month for the Doffing's. All the kids had Open House and performances at school this month. Graham was especially excited about his Open House and VIP performance. If I ever figure out how to down load videos off the video camera I'll post it. The girls did a great job on their performance. I was pleasantly surprised that they did everything that their music teacher taught them.

Graham dressed up in his "western" wear for school. He was so happy to wear his boots and cowboy hat to school. He even tried the chilli and tasted a jalepeno at school. He showed us around his school and introduced us to all his teachers. He especially loved showing us all his work and reading stories that he created.

This is all his Texas stuff that he had out on Open House.

Check me out....I'm almost 6!

Snow 2010

Brian and I were in Singapore enjoying the sun while the kids stayed home and ENJOYED the Texas snowstorm. Graham even missed a day of school. Snow is not very common in North Texas and 10 to 12 inches is unheard of! Thank goodness my parents took tons of pictures so I could see the kids loving all the snow.

Sweet and Sassy girls!

Bryce and Layne think that when my mom comes to visit it is time to go to the hair salon AKA Sweet and Sassy. They love it there! This time I had them actually cut their hair instead of just a trim. They girls actually love it. It is so much easier...no more tangles and struggles to comb it in the morning. I do miss Bryce's curls though...
Here are a few pictures from the salon and then from ballet showing off their new haircuts.

Christmas 2009

The kids really enjoyed the Christmas holidays this year. We spent Christmas Eve at the Doffings and Christmas Day at the Graham's house so the kids had plenty of play time with all their cousins.

Doffing cousins~ Layne, hunter, Bryce, Haley, Graham and Abby

Santa answered all of Layne's requests and brought her Zhu Zhu pets!

Graham was ECSTATIC to get his PSP! He has been wanting one forever and finally got one.

Bryce was happy with everything Ariel/princess or Dora!

Both Layne and Bryce crashed after a full day of present opening and playing all day long!

While the girls slept Jacob and Graham jumped on the trampoline!

Thanksgiving 2009

Graham had a Thanksgiving feast at school and performed a few songs for the parents that attended. It was a lot of fun to see him in his class with his classmates. He even tried some of the food at the feast.

We also went to Houston for the holiday this year and took some amazing pictures with a photographer named Julie Law. Here are a couple from my camera. I will try and post some from the actual photo shoot soon.

Finally, Brian and I got to have some adult time tailgating with our friends at the Texas A&M vs Texas game. It was a much needed break and good time with some of our best friends.

the boys: Brian, Chris, Nathan, Matt, David, and Kevin

the girls: Salli, Holly, Jill, Ivy and Michelle

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...right?

Time has gotten away from me and the blog has suffered. I am almost tempted to not even try and update the last couple of months and just start fresh. But I know I would regret it later...so I am going to post a couple of pictures and then start backdating some posts to document the holidays.
