Cry Babies!

Well - some of you may know that Michael and I went to Whistler to go skiing about a month ago. We were childless - and my sweet sister in law shared P duty with my mom. P and Cooper are about 3 1/2 weeks apart - and cannot be any more opposite. Cooper is laid back, generally chilled, the loudest noise he makes can't be heard in the next room. Well, those of you that know P know that she is quite the opposite. Well, Crystal decided to brave the mall to have Valentine pictures of them made together. How hilarious is this? She said they cried the entire time. I love them! The best is the expression on their face - in the one holding the flowers. Presley looks like, "Why am I holding this?" and Cooper is "I don't want to give Presley flowers." Anyway - three cheers to Crystal for tackling this feat - and for some great pics! I can already see them in their senior slide show.

Yea for Spring!

Yea for Spring! Just to recap... P just turned 17 months and all of the sudden - she is EVERYWHERE! Running, climbing, jumping, making little disasters everywhere. She loves my blackberry - and evidently text messages all of her friends. (One of her favorites is Jarod Cox). She is also a little bit of a flirt. This, I assure you, is a trait from her father. She flirted with the man at Subway - enough to ensure she would receive one of their enormous chocolate chip cookies. You can see the results of that for yourself. She also LOVES to Dance! Dance! Dance! However, she is very particular about her dance music - it is only (I do mean ONLY) Dierks Bently... "Every mile a memory". (Country song for you rockers out there) It is quite appropriate, every little minute of her life is a precious memory - but this girl goes NUTS when the song comes on. I will try and post a video when Garrett is in town to do it for me. HILARIOUS. I hope you are all enjoing the weather outside... YEA for spring!

THANKS HANKS!

Our dear friends Wayne & Kristin invited us to celebrate Kristin's 30th birthday in Whistler. WOW! What a vacation. The HankOkruhliHolmes had a blast in Canada. This is all of us atop Whistler mountain - next to the icon that will mark the 2010 Olympics that will be held in Vancouver. For those of you who are expert skiers - Whistler is for you. For those of you who ski every 2 or 3 years - pray to the dear Lord before you head down the mountain. At one point, Meredith and I debated about whether we would continue down the mountain o'death - or sidestep 20 yards back up to go down the easier, greener route. Luckily - everyone escaped injury including Michael who had never been to a snowy mountain before. He did awesome. He learned to snowboard and kept up with all of us for all 3 days. It was an incredible vacation - and we are so grateful to the Hanks for including us in this memorable event. So... truly,
THANKS HANKS!

Dad was in charge of breakfast.

Well, sorry we have not posted for a while - I have literally been in one airport or another for the last 8 weeks. One last trip this week and I am home for a while. P has been on the move - walking/running everywhere. Here is a pic of P with Aunt Mere at the Fort Worth Stock Show - and then one morning after Dad fixed her breakfast. Strawberry jelly is GOOD! I hope you are all doing well - will post more P pics later.
