What's this wet stuff called?!!

Sooo, last night we were all sitting in IHOP and come out and the ground was wet! Then, we looked off in to the South and saw lightening! We figured it wouldn't last long, but we have experienced two bouts of power loss, and it hasn't stopped yet! Yay for rain! 100% chance of all day rain ...

Asia loves to play in the rain but today she looked at it like "What in the world could this nasty stuff be?!!" It was really cute ... just thought I'd share ...

There have been billions of grassfires up here and they have really been destroying stuff, so hopefully this will calm that down for a while ...

And this may be off topic - Millenium Monopoly is fun but goodness, does the game ever end?!!! Haha, it was lots of fun, though! And the car is really neat ... I was the cell phone ... go figure! =) Hehe! I love my friends ...

"Baby it's rainin' on Sunday ... stormin' like crazy ... and we'll hide under the covers all afternoon." Keith Urban ... yum ... ;-)

Have a good Sunday everyone, and a great upcoming week, as well! =)

The Nutcracker Ballet

Mark and I at the Nutcracker Ballet

Morgan, the King Rat, and Stormy

I am not quite sure how many of you are aware of my past and ballets/plays. My Mom and Dad are very arts-y and love the theatre! Going to see musicals such as 'Les Miserables', 'Phantom of the Opera', 'South Pacific', and 'Grease' at least once a year were very common occurances.

In addition, going to see 'The Nutcracker Ballet' at the Wortham Center in Houston every single year was a tradition! I had not been in years, until this past year! My Mom and Dad decided to take my Aunt Patsy, Mark, Me, and my two little cousins Stormy and Morgan! I had not seen them in forever! During the intermission and after the show, the performers come out in their costumes and take pictures and sign autographs. It's really cute! My Mom just sent me a picture of Stormy and Morgan with the King Rat! Seriously, how cute are they?!! Morgan just attached herself to Mark the whole time, it was really sweet ... I love you girls! =)

Happy 2006!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year! So far, this new year has been awesome - sleeping all day, then grocery shopping!

Last night was fun - I didn't feel all that good, but it was fun to be spending new years eve with friends and just all around having a great time!

I hope that you all have a wonderful, happy, and healthy new year! =)

Always,

Mark, Haley & Asia
