2010 Here We Come

Hello Friends and Family... We have been out of the blog world for awhile. Time at home for me in particular has not been spent on the computer. We are not going to dwell on the blur of 2009. We, the Fuxa Family, all four of us survived. We learned alot about ourselves, we learned alot about each other. We learned alot about the ones we are close to.

The stadium had 30 STADIUM WIDE events from June 6 2009 - January 9, 2010. We had 11 Cowboys Games, 6 HSFB Days, 1 Cotton Bowl, 1 Big XII, 3 other College Games, 2 Soccer Matches and 4 Concerts, 1 NCAA Basketball Game and 1 Star Wars Movie. And YES I worked all of them... Carrie attended 7 of them, Trevor attended 9 of them and KK and Connor attended 4 of them. Enough about all of that... 2010 should be much more relaxed if only because we have been through all of this before and have somewhat of a gauge.

Christmas was spent at home. Grammy and Pop Pop came on Monday and stayed until Saturday. We were able to see the Rosenthals and the Gyarfas'. We also went to Aunt Eileens for lunch. LOTS of fun playtime at the house and a slumber party for the grandparents and kids at the "apartment" that is what the kids call the hotel. We also landed some tickets to the Rockettes which all of us enjoyed. I was off Tues-Christmas which was GREAT!!! We were able to wake up Christmas morning to a WHITE Christmas here in Texas. Grammy and Pop Pop were here to celebrate with us. Currently we still do not have any BIG traditions, we have made a gingerbread house each year, and there is always alot of singing with the Christmas CD's. So pretty much we go with the flow each year. Carrie had to work in the morning of Christmas so she came at lunch time!! So we continued to open presents all throughout the day. Connor got a drum set and KK a cheerleading outfit from Santa. At the end the night Trev created a scavenger hunt for their final present; sleeping bag and flashlights. (That was fun, that may be something we do moving forward). Some of the other gifts were a password journel, easel, monster truck remote control and Carrie's favorite... 2 seasons of Full House on DVD!! Bonding for KK and Carrie... memories for me as I remember coming home from school seeing Carrie watch them over and over...
Then the very next week the Brumlow flew in from Idaho. Trev and the kids spent the WHOLE week in Weatherford with the cousins. I went 2 nights. We did Christmas morning on the 29th. All of the grown ups were awake before the kids. The gifts from this session were, books, Charlie Brown dvd's, baby alive, hot wheels tracks and bouncy balls.
Soccer is getting ready to start again, both of the kids are on the same team as last year. Trev and I are picking up the kids one day a week and Maw Maw is picking them up 2 days. All of our babysitters have new schedules that are not condusive for picking up the kids after school. We consider us lucky that KK only has to go to after day care 1 day a week.
That is a quick recap of our Fuxa happenings. I will try to be better this year with updates.

Below are some pictures since the last post in October!! Hope everyone is doing good.

Christmas 2009 KK 6 and CB 4

Blake, Heather and Carrie at the Stadium, The Cowboys are practicing in the background. This was before the Nov 22 WIN over the Washington Redskins. Blake came in for the game and the kids had lots of fun with their uncle. They even had a slumber party with their aunt and uncle at Carries' house:) Went to Amarillo in November because we were homesick!! Well actually parent sick. Carrie and the kids and I met them in Amarillo, exactly 1/2 way for both of us.

Grammy, Pop Pop and the kids at what they call a zoo in Amarillo:)

One of the first games in August I think!?!?

Star Wars Fanatics. They were able to watch clips of the movie on the BIG screen. Trevor did mention the first time he saw the big screen how cool would it be to watch Star Wars. WOW!! Dream come true!

Trunk or Treak at our Church!! This was a great way to go trick or treating!!

Connor at the pumpkin patch. Unusual for him to get his own pic!!

He was hamin' it up.

Connor started a new pre-K and for the first time EVER someone we do not know is watching him. Sidebar, he loves his new school.
My sweet great aunt passed away
We have been to Six Flags more than 5 times
My sister ran a MARATHON!
Our babysitter quit to go back to school and left us 3 days with no babysitter
I get off 3 days early to pick up the kids from school!!!!!
Trev found a new favorite drink, Caramel Frappacchino!!
Soccer started for both kids and so it begins, 2 practices, 2 games a weekend
Connor started piano lessons, only because he is too young to do guitar or drums, this doesn't mean he doesn't continue to play both at home

Other than all of that we haven't been doing too much:)

Where has the summer gone?

Trevor made KK's cake again this year. We went to Chuck E Cheese with some
of her close friends. Her cousins were here as well which was a huge bonus. Littlest Pet Shop was the theme this year.

KK and Connor's first Concert. JONAS BROTHERS. It was a GREAT
Concert.
The Hobbs Clan on the FIELD at the new stadium. Tour Number One.

The Brumlow Clan on the Field at the New Stadium. Tour Number Two.

This is where the most of our pictures were taken. The elevator!!!

WOW! We have done a lot since the trip to Nebraska!!! We have been to Six Flags a couple of times, The Stadium opened with a BANG!! We have now had 4 major events, the kids were able to go to the Jonas Brothers Concert. They loved it!! We had 4th of July with the Brumlows who were in town from Idaho. They were here for 17 days in Texas. We were able to see them for about 7 of them, we got a water park day and a Texas Rangers and a tour of the new stadium. The kids and I actually did 2 tours on July 3, one for my parents, grandfather, cousins and uncle. Then we came back and toured the Fuxa's and the Brumlows.
KK and Connor were able to spend the weekend with Pa and Maw Maw last weekend. They had lots of fun. They will be going again this weekend as Trev and I are heading on our 8th annual Trev and Heather only vacation. This year we are off to San Antonio. We are going to float the river, head to the Cowboys training camp (we are HUGE fans when I am not working) and then to Fiesta Texas to ride the adult rides.
KK has had a lot of fun at FCLC this summer, she was reunited with 3 of the fab 5 from her pre school years. They have gone swimming, to Bounce Houses, the zoo, the park, movies and she LOVES her teacher.
Connorboy is loving his class that has dwindled to 6 kids, it started with 13 last year. I like that he is getting personal care. He is beginning to recognize letters and trying hard to keep up with his sister on wanting to spell words. He is as funny as ever. Keeps us laughing most days. Think he is getting taller, the video below shows his new found leaping ability. He has no fear!
