Welcome Baby

Hudson David

7 lbs. 1 oz.

20 1/4 inches

We are so blessed and grateful.

Thanksgiving

For thanksgiving break Grandma and Grandpa Wille and Uncle Logan came for a visit.

Skating in action.

Baking with grandma.

Before our thanksgiving feast the men and children went for a hike.

And went to slay our turkey for dinner.

We had a wonderful visit. Now it is Christmas time and we are trying to wait patiently for Wille baby #3 to make his entrance.

November Birthdays

On 11-11-11 I turned 30 years old. Look what surprised me on my doorstep. Best birthday surprise ever!!

Check out the 11-11-11 shirt the little bros sent with Krissy. I felt so loved.

Kaya loved giving hugs and posing for the camera.

The following week we celebrated Tad's 33rd birthday with pie and Trollhunter.

Halloween

Halloween weekend Tad's work treated us to Sea World.

In between rides and shows Eliza lost her first tooth.

FHE hot cider, donuts, and painting pumpkins

This year we recycled costumes out of our dress up box and ended up with Indiana Jones and Little Red Riding Hood.

Garner

We needed one more campout before I pop and decided on Garner State Park. Here we could climb to high places and still get wet. And explore a cave. And it was quite pretty.

High School Football

After finishing the series Friday Night Lights we decided we needed to experience another Texas high school football game. We grabbed some other fans of high school football to join us. Live football is fun. Much better than on TV.

Some Soccer Shots for the Grandparents

Schlitterbahn

The Wille's favorite german waterpark





My personal favorite part is the lazy river that sends out a giant wave every few seconds. Not so lazy. I also really love the old tube rides in the older section and the fact that it is mostly in the shade.

Back to School

Big day. First day of Kindergarten and 2nd Grade.

It was kinda sad to see her go for the first time. She's barely bigger than her back pack.
