Papaw & Devin

Our first week in the states we flew to Tn. We celebrated Christmas early and had our annual steak dinner with the Lancaster's, Hatcher's, Ledlow's & Cross' ! I believe this is the 4th year Jeremy & Papaw have grilled steaks for the family. And boy are they yummy! It's always fun but I seem to gain at least 10 lbs while we're there. Cody enjoys driving the golf cart. I guess he's a pretty good driver because Devin was asleep by the time they reached the end of the driveway:(  Magic is such a good sport because Devin wouldn't leave her alone. Too bad we can't bring her with us to Bahrain. We enjoyed spending time with Grandmother Kay she's an inspiration! As always, it's such a pleasure spending time with family and making great memories!!

Going for Gold

To all of our loyal fans "Thank you so much for your patience"! We're back in business: everyone is well, we've adjusted to the time change (sigh) and I really shouldn't write this because I'm afraid to jinks it but I'm not having problems downloading our pictures (yeah)!! I gotta feeling today is going to be a good day:)

A day after we landed in Houston, Jeremy registered the Kingwood Cannonballs in the Woodlands Winter Blast. And boy was it a "Blast"! It was very cold, rainy and muddy. But the Cannonballs had fun. They went 5-0 and are the 2009 Winter Blast Champions!! Way to go Cannonballs:)

Harlem Globetrotters - Bahrain

We went to the US base to see the Globetrotters perform. What talent & a great show! Afterwards, they had an autograph & photo session. They were all good sports. At the base they have Taco Bell so Cody enjoyed some mexi melts as well. They only take US dollars at the base so we had to pulse some cash out. It's great to see that our Men & Women stationed here are taken care of. Thank God!!!

We can't wait to see all of our Family & Friends in a couple of Days!! Please keep us in your prayers for safe travels and good health!

Golf

For Father's Day we bought Jeremy a round of Golf on Riffa's Golf Course. After a few months they finally had the opportunity to get some golf in. From what they said it was a very hard course. This is the same course Cody took his lessons.

Rugby Club

We enjoyed a fun day at the Rugby Club. Cody & Qoasi enjoyed doing an obstacle course, penalty shoot out, sack race & egg toss. They ended up winning the egg toss.  I have to say Jeremy & I made it to the finals and lost to them. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful.

Our First Thanksgiving Away From Family

Devin always getting held, it is a wonder he can even walk!

Being in the Middle East did not stop us from our annual deep fried turkey (the only way to cook a turkey).   We had some friends over from work and had every traditional dish you can imagine for Thanksgiving.  My mom (Ma) even gave us my great grandmother's pecan pie recipe and it was a big hit.  We had a bit of everything.  The weather was beautiful and an enjoyable day all of  us.
