The Polar Express

During our winter break we went to Sea World. I really wanted to see what the Polar Express Experience was all about. We had a lot of fun they took the Wild Arctic ride and change all the signs, the video (a movie clip) for the simulation ride, and added some beautiful decorations with even a real Santa you could have your picture taken with. Fortunately you were still able to experience the polar animals within the exhibit.

Future Drummer

Ashe loves music of all types. Over break we have been working in Nick's room getting rid of things and clothes that he no longer wears or uses. So when we were working on the closet Ashe found Nick drums practice pad and sticks. Nick is working on possibly getting good enough to talk Daddy into a drum set. That's all we need a very loud instrument shaking the pictures on the wall. Daddy's all for musical instruments as long as Nick is really serious about the drums. I'm all about the quiet. One of us is bound to lose?

Little Scientist

One of the things that Nick got in his stocking, at Christmas, is a soda and Mentos geyser. So he just had to make this mess, and what a mess it was. The main reason we had to do this is because the Myth Busters did it and he hadn't stopped talking about the experiment when he saw it done on TV. Kids really shouldn't do anything they see on TV.

Go Cowboys!

Our Cowboys will be in the playoffs this year... Go Cowboys.

We are hoping this year will be a Superbowl for our team.

Merry Christmas Love the Herod's

Nick on Christmas

Nick tried to teach me how to play the DS Lite, but I am just not good at video games.

Nick had a lot of fun on Christmas. He's older and loves the electronics. This year he got Guitar Hero (Which Steven loves more then Nick), the DS Lite and a few games to go with it. He got movies, and clothes, and other toys like skateboard things, Webkinz, and Dallas Cowboys items. Nick is getting harder and harder to shop for since he has the things he really likes already. When we went to Grandma and Grandpa Herod's house we unwrapped many more gifts and spent the evening having a special dinner there and ending the night with a game.

Ashe on Christmas

Ashe had a fun Christmas. He got a lot of big things like a work bench, his cozy coupe car, and his easel chalkboard, and his new uploshered chair that we hae no idea where we will store them. Then all the little things like his shape sorter picnic basket and all the Little People. He was so tired of unwrapping. When he woke up Christmas morning all he wanted to do was ride around in his newcar. He didn't even want to get out to unwrap gifts. Then when we started helping him, he then wanted everything out of the packages. Christmas could have lasted days if we did it Ashe's way. Later in the day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Herod's house, where Ashe opened even more gifts. More big things to find space for...

Christmas Eve

Here the boys are in their new Christmas Eve Pj's. Nick can hardly wait until the morning when he can open presents. The funny part is Ashe doesn't really understand what tomorrow is all about, but it was him who couldn't sleep. I tried everything to get Ashe to sleep. It wasn't that he was crying, he just wanted to lay in bed and talk. I brought him to my bed and had to tell him a few times to stop the talking.
