Big Dave's 4th of July Party

2008-07-26T14:19:00.014-04:00

In case you didn't make it this year, Big Dave's 12th Annual Crawfish Boil was a blast. Here is a sampling of photos of the festivities!

This is Mike, our captain leading us on a 3 hour tour!

Ethan along for the boat tour of the Dam

Mike & Oscar head out on the river with him saying "FASTER DADDY!"

Ethan decided to go on Great Mabel with me & his mommy, Jamie!

Then the gals took it out with just adults!

Mamason & Libby stayed on shore to cheer Mommy on!

Then came the real deal when me, Lindsey, Salina & Elizabeth all took the hardest ride with everybody getting thrown but Lindsey (but her husband was driving the boat)

Evelyn & Uncle Justin waiting for fireworks!

Harrison working on his Michael Jordan tongue!

me & my daddy in our annual shot!

our friend Tim & his daughter Chelsea

Oscar loving his sparkler...runs in the family!

"Look at that one Uncle Jim!"

Let the Fireworks begin, and this wasn't even the half of it...

Great party had by all...this year's theme "Good tings come to dem dat Honky Tonk!"

Flowers, Flowers

2008-07-22T13:09:00.012-04:00

I've always taken pictures of pretty flowers & never did anything with them....so now I am going to post them. Enjoy!

I shot all of these in Brooklyn, NY (mainly Prospect Park & the Prospect Zoo) while visiting the Morehead family. I am hoping to make this a regular blog series! They are great for your desktop (& I can email you the pic if you want to have a bigger picture)!

Bodie Scott Moore

2008-06-16T13:11:00.004-04:00

My brother Colin & his wife Molly welcomed their new son, Bodie Scott Moore on June 11, 2008. He was 18 1/2 inches and weighed 5 lbs 11 oz. but left the hospital at 5 lbs 13 oz. Here are some pictures taken at the hospital. We can't wait to meet him in a couple of weeks!

Oscar's new Playset

2008-06-06T10:42:00.008-04:00

Here was Oscar's 3rd birthday present from us, Mamason/Paw Paw, & Grammy/Grampy. Mike and I took 2 full weekends to put this thing together! But it turned out great and the kids love it.

Bob the Builders hard at work!

this is the picture Oscar took with my digital camera...I think he did a pretty good job!

what a team!!!

Oscar & Libby's quilts

2008-06-01T20:54:00.015-04:00

I made Oscar's quilt for him when he turned one. We spent so much time outside that a picnic blanket was the perfect idea. I hand pieced this one & then had it longarm quilted by a lady in the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild (Beaumont). Plus he learned all about color and his fruits/vegetables! Couldn't ask for a better combo.

can you see Oscar's name?

PICNIC TIME!

When Libby turned one, she needed something just as special. The walls in her bedroom were really bare in the new house so I decided to do a combo wall hanging/lap quilt that showed off her growth. Hers is a Jan Mullen project I did at the International Quilt Festival 2007. I machine pieced & for the first time machine-quilted. Hopefully you can see the detail.

can you see Libby's name?

grow, Libby GROW!!!

My Funny Daddy

2008-04-21T19:47:00.008-04:00

I was trying out my new Canon Digital camera and wanted to see how fast it would take pictures so I asked my dad to be the guinea pig. He had no idea I would post these, or he never would have posed. But just ask him, he is "ONE COOL DUDE!" and "ahead of the times!"

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

Libby's 1st Birthday

2008-03-20T13:23:00.009-04:00

Libby had a great time. Wanted to post these b/c it is taking me so long to send out photos.

Here is Paw enjoying some good ol' bday cake and ice cream (although North Carolina's ice cream doesn't have anything on Blue Bell...maybe we can get it shipped for Oscar's bday!)

Here is Mike finally getting a breather for some cake time.

The O-man loves cake and ice cream. Happy 1st bday "Wibby"!

Camp Family Photos

2008-03-03T15:36:00.007-05:00

Here are some photos of the family from when we were at the camp last year. Trips always involve playing our all-time favorite PHASE 10. Just watch out for Kyle cheating....

Here is my brother Colin and my nephew James:

Salina & Laikyn, cuddly (doesn't last too long):

And yes, Aunt Tab does get a little crazy....

we tuckered poor Audrey out:

James had a great time playing with all of Mamason's toys:

Here is baby Harrison with Lance & Kelly:

We miss yall!

Back in TX for last tailgate

2008-03-01T20:43:00.010-05:00

That's right...we went out with a bang...surf-n-turf.

Here is my mom giving her final goodbyes to lunch

Robin got to join the family for another fun tailgate.

GO TEXANS!!! 2009 Superbowl Bound!!!

Our new home

2008-02-26T21:43:00.005-05:00

We weren't here a month and got a great snow! So much fun!

So this was one of our last nights in our Greensboro apt...cold, cold!

Our Winter Wonderland:

Under Construction...

2008-01-07T13:23:00.007-05:00

Here are some pix of our new house that should be ready mid-Jan. We are really looking forward to being out of this apt.

This is the kitchen: Here are the guys installing the wood floors in the living room:

This is our backporch that will sure get some use:

View from the front and back of the house:

Really can't wait to move in.... (this is an old post I never got around to posting...stay tuned for the up-to-date version)

Libby strutting her stuff

2008-01-04T10:24:00.001-05:00

Last night Libby decided to start walking...or better put running. She gets going so fast that she loses her balance. I never thought it would happen so fast. She thought she was being funny at the end of the clip when she stuck out her tongue. Too funny, that girl!

Tailgating Texans

2007-12-03T18:59:00.001-05:00

So here we are another year rooting for our Houston Texans. Little did we know that this was our last season in Houston. We will still be watching on TV (that is if we get the coverage...) How adorable. My mama and daddy. What a handsome pair.

Dave-o, Colinski, & Papa....some crew!

Criminal? Or just Papabear (aka Justina)

my favorite chef Mike (he really needs his own show)

Red Sonya posing in front of Reliant Stadium. What's that in your cup before noon?

Justin, the hidden purple emblem chair, Daddy, hunchback Colin & Papa waitin' for the grub

All in all we had a great season. Fun times tailgating. We should make one last game this season but will for sure miss it next year. GO TEXANS!!!

Rice Vball Reunion

2007-12-03T00:41:00.001-05:00

Our own Samantha Jane Waldron Shannon was inducted into the Rice Hall of Fame this fall. What better time for a reunion?

First we started out at the Rice football game...saw double preggers Kelly Smith, Klara Zelinka, Jane Shin, Vanessa Shannon, Jen Sloan, and of course Sammy.

Here is Sammy getting recognized at halftime.

After the game, we all met up at Volcano's for a little partytime.

Jane, Ness, & LB cracking up

And here are a some photos of everybody as the night went on:

Lance & Kelly's Baby Shower

2007-07-06T15:34:00.001-04:00

We thought we would shower the new parents with some great gifts to prepare their home as the await baby Harrison. Here is a direct quote from Lance "Does this go in the butt or the ear?" (neither Lance, the bulb is for the nose or mouth!) Good luck Kelly!

Big Dave's 11th Annual Crawfish Boil

2007-07-05T17:20:00.001-04:00

Everybody had a great time at the camp this year. I had to share some great photos of our 4th of July party. The big story this year is "Big Mable" the 4 person riding float. Dad tried his best to throw people off, we all laughed constantly until we were too sore the next day.

The sequence photos of the 3 stooges is to die for. We had a great time, maybe one of the best parties yet. I am sure next year will be just as much fun.
