Sic 'em Bears!

Days 46-55 of 365

Today we had the great privilege of getting to meet some of the lady bears.  Our P.E. teacher worked really hard to get them to come celebrate with our school for raising $10,000 for Jump Rope for Heart.  They shot some baskets, did some tricks, dunked with our teachers, talked to the kiddos, and let us take A LOT of pictures.  They were all so nice and great with the kids too.  You should have seen the kids' faces; they were SO excited!  It was a great day!

Excited for their arrival! 

Showing their BAYLOR spirit!

Day 32

Our kitty the "dog".  Here he is eating ice cream off a spoon.  No matter what we are eating he get very close to us and meow until we give him some of our food.  When we are eating at the table, he even sits in a chair and waits for us to drop something or give him something.  Sure he eats his cat food, but for some reason, also likes human food.  He likes chips, pasta, ice cream, chicken, and pretty much everything I can think of.  I think the only time he hasn't eaten something was when it was a vegetable.  We only give him a bite every now and then, but it is funny.  Silly kitty!
****Update****    So yesterday I found out he also likes sweet potatoes.  Yes, I think he might be a dog.  But, he does have a cat's personality. 

Day 33

My first car!  Which I actually owned about 9 years, from when I was 16 until last year.  Sadly, after we sold it, the lady who bought it totaled it.  May you RIP Honda!

Day 34

My current car!  It actually used to be Karson's, but I really like it.  I never thought I would own a mustang, but now I love them.  Karson also sells Ford parts so it's convenient for us. 

Day 35

Snow in Texas!
