Out of state experience

Well our little bub has left the state of Texas for the first time in his young life. We as a family are now in Hot Springs Arkansas for a few says visiting his great Grandma and a few other folks from his mommies fam. It was a long ride from the Houston are to Hot Springs our little guy was a trooper the whole way. He slept for the most part but had a little crying spell towards the end of the trip which Meemah in the back seat did a great job calming him down.

As I told my wife I will take 45 minutes of him crying during 8 hours on the road over some of the horror stories out there of traveling with kiddo's.

But he had a little practice on Saturday as we drove 3.5 hours from Dallas to Houston for Christmas with his meemah and pawpaw while not forgetting about his TUK (Texas Uncle Kyle). For those who are not in the know he has two uncle Kyles one in Katy, Texas and and I also have a brother Kyle living in Jos, Nigeria. Hello I am Toebee and this is my brother Kyle and my other Kyle.

Well anyways we had a great Christmas day with her Fam and Caden cleaned up on the toys. Even though it was promised they would not go over board on the gifts. Oh well we will forgive them for it is their first Grand Kiddo.

When presents attack! His iFlop is taking a cheap shot on the boy from behind, to the face even.

See all the toys, there were to many they were clamoring for air.

Hope you all had a Blessed Christmas and I will write once again upon our return from Hot Springs on Saturday.

Caden and Clause

" Ahh mom, whose this guy?"



This time last year it was just my wife and I and an unknown growth within my wife. As you can see it, he, Caden, has grown a bit. From something unknown to us, known to Christ, to someone awesome.

Pray for our Fam as we take our first long trip with the little guy. He is usually a pleasure to be around but who knows whether that pleasure transfers well to long car rides. First we are heading to outside Houston, Texas to visit Caden's Memaw and PawPaw for his first Christmas. They by the way are not excited at all. It is only like their first grandchild and all.

Secondly we are then traveling to Hot Springs, R-Kansas to visit his Great Grandmom and other parts of his family who are also excited to meet him for the first time as well. It will be many hours on the road, we shall see real soon how much of a road warrior we have.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a great week!

"The View" from here, CRAZY!

This morning as I was at the gym I noticed on one of the TVs, that they have for our viewing pleasure, as I strain to move my body working out is some text from this dear old book that I know. The Bible.

So I flipped over to the show and to my surprise it was "The View". You know the view from the left! It was actual text from President Bush's Christmas Card that he has sent out for this year that Babra Waawaa (Barbara Walters) received. One of the ladies started to criticise the card and asked if it is being sent to Muslims, Atheist's and the sort. She went on to say how "un PC it is" for the President to share this view with the general public.

Well then later on they went over cards that some of them sent out and on one of the ladies cards she had a photo of herself hugging a monkey. The reading underneath stated something like, have a wonderful holiday season as your ancestors have in years past.

So how is it PC for one to share her thoughts and beliefs of evalution on her card but not one to share his beliefs in Christ? Yes it is the President of the free world but he is still a person with beliefs that he would like to share.

It just seems to me to be two sides and one side seems to be right and the otherside, the Christian side, wrong in some peoples eyes.

On a relative story I have noticed a couple of things on the back of peoples cars this "Holiday Saeson" that state "Keep Christ in Christmas". Yes Christ is no longer in Christmas but as I see it today that Christmas as a whole is slowly disappearing in todays society as well. It is now just a plain ol' Holiday! If the trend continues this way it will be interesting yet very scary to see what Christmas in 20 years will look like. Will it just be another day off of work? An opportunity to get your drink on? Or will Christmas return?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

This last month!

Hey there sports fans, Toebee here!

Who you may ask, well I am the originator of this Blog and the one who should be keeping up with it. But as you can see it has been a while. I have a few pictures to show you what has been happenin’ within my life.

First off we had an awesome visit from my big brother (OK he is a bit smaller than me, really) from Wisconsin. This was their first visit to meet our little guy Caden. Caden is doin' great but I think he has gone thru a bit of withdrawel from his cousins. They wanted to be around him all the time to hold him and to feed him. It was great!

Here is my Old bro along with his Fam and my little Bub.

This was too cute of a pic not to include for you to view, Caden with his cousin.

The 3 cousins on a slay! Not outside since we do live in Texas by the way.

As you know we are a Packer Fam and they recently were here in Dallas to play the cowboys. Well the Pack lost, but not by much may I remind you. IT could have easily gone the Packers way.

Well today we went to a Christmas Party for one of Cadens Docters and they had a couple of Cowboy Cheerleaders. So to have a little fun we went over and had a picture taken with Caden.

Here is the pic, ya notice how smart of a boy I have? He's crying, not due to the ladies but who they stand and represent.

Wanted to include one more picture from the Gaylord Texas Resort.

I took the picture looking up towards the Christmas Tree and glass dome above that has the "yellow star of Texas". I thought it turned out to be a great picture of the tree and star above.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
