COWBOYS vs Steelers & a 9th Birthday!!

December 28th, 2001 was a fabulous day in the Richardson house! We were blessed with a baby boy after a long loong looong wait!!! Seems like just yesterday that we brought him home. The years have flown right by us and now he is 9!! Boy how we love this little guy. What a blessing he has been to us. He is quite the little ham and keeps us laughing and on our toes at all times!

Jackson had another fun birthday party this year. This is the 2nd time he has shared his party with one of his best buddies. If you know Jackson he is the number one Cowboy Fan of all time. Just make a visit to his bedroom if you don't believe me. Well, his buddy Bryce is the number one Steelers fan so what better birthday party then to invite all their friends and have a football game. COWBOYS vs Steelers ( guess who won??). There were 26 boys at the party and guess what???? we did not have one fight or wrestling match the whole hour and a half. Now that is miraculous if you ask me.

COWBOYS won!!! Happy Birthday little man of mine! We love you!!

Snapping Dragons!

Rylie made the the music group at her Elementary this year. They go by the name Snapping Dragons and she is having a ball. They have performed at a Hockey Game, StoneBriar Mall, Hebron High School's Holiday music performance and will be performing again this May for a competition. They sing, play several different musical instruments and have a lot of fun together. The group is made up of 12 - 5th graders and 12 - 4th graders.

2 Buchanan's, 1 Balls and 1 Petersen

November 2010 was a good month! We had Rugby's 11th birthday, Thanksgiving, and family come to visit! Hooray!! My parents, my youngest sister and my nephew came to see us! Gosh!! I really love when family comes to our house. So thank you all for making the long trip and spending some time with us. We had a fantastic time as usual with you all. Hope you did too! My Utah family are the biggest Dallas Cowboy fans! I mean it is non-stop Cowboy talk when we are together. So of course we had to take them to tour the stadium. They were in heaven. Weren't you guys! Especially my dad and Brayden, it is their favorite team. ha ha ha!! They aren't really Cowboy fans but we are so we made them tag along with us to the stadium. I think

they might secretly be fans now. Don't tell anyone! Especially the rest of the Utah family that

wasn't here with us.

After we all gave our Press Conference post tour (you can catch us on ESPN this month) we headed to the Texas Rangers stadium for some quick pics and the kids scored some pretty awesome hats!

Rugby turns 11!! November 7, 2010

Halloween 2010

Everything's bigger in TEXAS y'all!!!

First trip to the Texas State Fair turned out to be loads of big Texas fun! I finally decided to take the kids to the famous Texas State Fair. You know the one that Oprah visited last year? Anyway, we did have a great time but I think it is just like any other state fair. Sorry Texas! One thing holds true to what they say though Big Tex is pretty darn big. Look at him! Wowsar!

CHE Fundraiser!

The school Fundraiser each year is a fun run. For every lap the kids run they make money for the school. The kids enjoy it! This year it was so stinkin hot outside. The kids were bright red and soaking wet when they were done. This was back in September! After it was over I couldn't stop thinking about the poor teachers and how bad the classrooms must have smelled after the kids got done running. They did this in the morning so the teachers had to endure that smell the rest of the school day. ugh! Can you imagine??
