It's official...I'm way behind!

I'm not even going to try to get caught up from last summer...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to remember much.  I'll see if I can go through my photos and try to get caught up from the first of this year.

Brent's friend Jeff, born and raised in Louisiana, sent all these jerseys to the family after LSU beat the Aggies in the Cotton Bowl this year.  Everyone (except Carolyn) seems to be cheering!


The video below was just cute. Jax stops at the little kitchen center then makes his way to the table to do a little coloring. At the end of it, he decides to sit down, but forgets that the chair isn't there.
I love this photo of Carlee, getting down with her music, dressed in fancy black tutu and pink crown, microphone in hand. It's so Carlee.
Jax must have had something on his mind here.  He looks deep in thought.  
 This was on Carolyn's birthday.  All are eagerly waiting for the cake ceremony!

Carolyn got roller-blades from Brent and the kids.  Kate is standing by for support, if necessary.
 This wasn't taken on Carolyn's birthday.  Jax was under the weather and Carolyn had a patient, so I was there to snap this photo of Jax, so ready to nod off that his head is held up by his lip on the edge of the cup.

Brent built the dollhouse/bookshelf pictured below to donate to the auction at the St. Philip Dinner Dance in February.  I should have taken the photo with a child beside it in order to give it perspective.  It might look small here, but it's probably about 3-4 feet wide and about that tall, too.  After he painted it, it was taken to St. Philip's where Carolyn and other mothers of children in Kate's kindergarten class finished it with paint decorations of flowers, trees, bees, caterpillers, etc.  Books and baskets were added to show how it could be used.  The childrens' fingerprints were used to form the painted decorations.  Click on the picture to enlarge it and see how cute the little decorations are.

This is a view of the back of the dollhouse/bookshelf.  The names of the children in the class are painted onto the leaves of the tree.

Kate and Carlee, just hanging out with balloons.

It's evident that Kate and Carlee have done some modeling for Aunt Robin.  Carlee seems to have that beauty queen/parade wave going on.
Bathed and ready for bed, the kids are rewarded with a little play time on Mom's and Dad's iphones.  Jax seems content to watch.
So, that's a little about what has gone on at the Bubela household since September.  I only looked in a few folders.  I'll bet I find a lot more folders to go through!
