West Texas Polar Express

My friend, Kimberly Jost, got tickets for the West Texas Polar Express for us and some other friends. This is a passenger train that leaves Lubbock and arrives at the "North Pole" where it picks up Santa Clause and his elves. It is based on the Polar Express story. What an experience!We had a blast.

Punching our tickets.

Arriving at the "North Pole"

We can see the elves, but where is Santa Claus?

OK! I can hear him, but WHERE is he?

SANTA CLAUS!!!!

Dr. Q.T. Patooty

I know! I know! I am a couple of months late posting these pictures. No excuses, just haven't made time to get it done.

Brylon was the BEST surgeon EVER! (Sorry Dr. Abel & Dr. McFaul) at our county Fall Festival.

We also went Trunk-or-Treating after one of our ball games. I didn't have time to get home and change her clothes, so she just wore her Halloween outfit I made for her.

Brylon was the cutest flower girl in Brian's cousin's wedding!

Rehearsal:

She did great in the wedding.

Walked all the way down the isle by herself. Then she found her Daddy and came back to sit in his lap for the service.

Then our little social butterfly had too much fun at the reception and dance.

She almost outlasted her Mom & Dad.

But not quite!

Homecoming 2008

Mom did not get to go to Homecoming this year. I was in Houston at a conference. However, Brian did a great jog getting Brylon ready for their Homecoming date. Not sure who actually did her hair, but I thank them! Thanks to Aunt Andrea, we have these great pics.

Kissing Mimi

GO BEARKATS!

Hey Doug!

What are you doing in there?

Silly Uncle Scotty!

Listening to the band.

Can we go see the Bearkat?

Whoa!!

Not so close Mimi.

OK. Maybe I'll try just one finger.

LOVE MY MIMI!

AND MARCUS!

"You see, it's like this!"

Another favorite Lady Kat, Cassie.

Still a little concerned about that Bearkat.

Finally!

My favorite part of the game.

What I have been doing this month.

Hanging out in the new KitFox.

Hey Dad! When did you say I could get my taildragger endorsement?

This is a piece of cake!

Hanging out at the Howard County Fair.

Helping Penni with the goats at the fair.

Trying to feed the goat. She had a hard time understanding that the goat was not hungry and did not want to eat.
OK. Fine. I'll just stand over here and eat my Cheetos. Never been a problem for me to eat when somebody sticks food under my nose.

I realized this weekend that she has been spending too much time with Penni. I bought her a stuffed lamb while I was at Houston. When I gave it to her and told her it was a lamb, she argued with me and said "NO, goat".

I think we finally convinced her it is a lamb-not a goat.

Bath time is SO much more fun with bubbles.

Can you say GUACAMOLE?

Hi Kim! This is why Mom & Dad won't let me go to Moss Creek Ranch with them.

Thanks for the GREAT Rocking Chair SueSue!

Susan & Robert Pryor gave her this cute little rocking chair & she loves it. She drags it from her room to wherever we are and says "sit", then "wok".

"I'm too sexy for this rocking chair!"

Her really cheesy "Say Cheese" smile.
My cool new book that the Kothmann's gave me!

It makes real animal noises :)

Reading my new book with Daddy.
