"The Best Daddy Daughter Day Ever!"

I was able to spend the entire day with my little girls yesterday and it was a blast. We wore each other out big time. We had so much planned for the day that we had to write it down to make sure that we got everything in.

Here is everything that we did yesterday:

• Ate cinnamon rolls and three fresh strawberries for breakfast




• Constructed Lego works of art



• Went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch, fun time, and mad dashes from the big mouse




• Watched Meet the Robinsons DVD with freshly popped corn




• Took a nature hike at town lake




• Played air hockey at the rec. center




• Had Leftovers!!!




• Went bike riding at Glen Oaks Park




• Gave Mom BIG hugs

Here are the highlights:

• Three strawberries can go a long way when they cost $80




• Legos are still my favorite toy for booby traps and hours of imagination/creativity time




• Ella won the jackpot on the Deal or No Deal game (aren't you proud, Grandpa Smith?)



• 2 Minutes and 45 seconds for perfect popcorn




• Gotta love free rec. center games




• Always good to $ave some sweet mula




• The girls are pros on their bikes!!?? Where does the time go?




• We really missed you Mom!!!!
  

It was a great day that every Dad should get to enjoy. I've been wanting to give Holly a day off for a while now...she so deserves it. It also gives you such an appreciation for your wonderful wife and all the hard work she puts in every day. Aubrey and Ella ended the day with saying, "This was the best Daddy daughter day ever!!" I would have to agree...

Hola Señor!

I got the promotion I was up for and I'm the newest Sr. Engineer for T-Mobile! I just want to thank all of my family members for their prayers on my behalf. I want to especially thank my sweet Holly for all of her encouragement and support. I'm so happy and humbled at all the Lord has done for me and my little family. We have come a long way and the Lord's arms are extended still. I feel so blessed to have so many opportunities and I know that I have my parents to thank for that. Thanks Mom and Dad for being such great examples to us kids and for your endless support. Now it's time to partay!

P.S. I love working in the wireless industry and especially for T-Mobile. They have taken really good care of my family and I stand 100% behind our new tag line, "stick together." What did I do when I found out the news? I called two of my faves (my wife and my mom) on my cell phone to let them know.

Spotlight: Ella

Here are a few pics of my little Ella. Yeah, her hair isn't done, but this is her in her natural state. :) She said the sun was too bright while she was swinging in the backyard so I let her wear my shades.

My Real Name...

OK everyone, I've been living under an alias and Aubrey cracked the code to my true identity.

Plano Balloon Festival...Say Wha?

It's late once again, but I have to post some pics. I've been wanting to post some more of my photos and here are a few more of my favorites. These are from the Plano Balloon Festival that we went to back in September 2007. It was awesome.
