Chilly on the outside, chili on the inside!

Sara got a new, much larger crockpot for Christmas this year. She picked the perfect day to break it in. There is an arctic blast heading our way bringing snow and a high temperature of 9º tomorrow. What better way to keep warm than homemade chili!

DOH-nuts!

The FOX network sent some promotional DOH-nuts to celebrate the 2oth Anniversary of The Simpsons. Sara picks out one for her dessert. "Thank you! Come again!"

Tearing it up!

Watching the Oklahoma State Cowgirls vs. Sam Houston State. At every home game, they have a contest for the best sign created by a fan. If you win (voted on by crowd applause), MidFirst Bank gives you $100! Here's tonight's winner.

Tennessee vs. Oklahoma WBB

Watching two of the better teams in NCAA Women's Basketball. I consider it scouting for Oklahoma State.

Redbox Rocks!

We rented a movie last night at McDonald's for Amber to watch. The Hannah Montana Movie. It's almost showtime!

Starting the new year with McDonalds

This is a project where I take a picture every night at 7:15PM. It's a great way to document my life, my activities, my memories, etc. I'm hoping it will breathe new life into this blog.

This is picture 1, on day 1, in month 1 of a new decade...January 1, 2010...7:15PM. We wanted to go out and eat dinner at El Azteca to celebrate the new year but they were closed. McDonalds is where we ended up. I think it's the first time I've ever spent just $3 for my portion of the meal. That dollar menu is the best!

Amber's Artwork - The Choice of a New Generation

A couple of mornings a week, Amber spends time at Sara's office while Andrew is at weights. She'll watch a movie on a portable DVD player or read a book. Well, this week, she decided to draw. I found this on the kitchen table and was amazed at how good it was. I asked her how she drew it and she said, "I just leaned over to the trash can to look in it and drew on the paper." I think this is fantastic for a 7-year old. So, it made the blog. Grandpa Haden will be proud.
