Christmas in Burleson

During our Christmas break we did lots of traveling. It was all worth it because we got to see so many family members. We started off our Christmas vacation in Burleson to spend time with Tracy's family. We had a blast. All the grown-up kids gave mom & dad a special gift this year. We did some work around the house. We painted the living room and added crown molding in the living room, entry way and down the hall. Gary and Dad focused on the crown molding, Ron, Tracy & Edi focused on the painting. We were all a great team. It was interesting to listen to Dad and Gary decide which angles would work the best... two stubborn men working together. However, the results were great. All the cousins had a blast playing together and just running wild. We had a wonderful few days and can't wait until we all get together again soon. Enjoy the pictures.

Merry Christmas from the McCown's

Merry Christmas from the McCown's. We want to wish each of you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a great new year!!!

Dan & Jan's new house

While out in West Texas for Thanksgiving we got to go see Uncle Dan & Aunt Jan's new house. It is so beautiful. We are so happy for them. Mandi & Lee live directly across the street, (too bad there is not a house for us!). Uncle Dan and Sheldon have so many things in common. Sheldon was so excited when Uncle Dan brought out his telescope and set it up so he could show Sheldon all those stars in West Texas. The next morning, Sheldon and Dan got up at 6:00 am to see the rings around Saturn. Sheldon loved it. Thanks Uncle Dan !!!!

Thanksgiving on the Ranch in West Texas

Over Thanksgiving we went out to West Texas and had a blast. We got to go out to Aunt Linda and Uncle John's ranch. It is amazing. It is way out in the country, very rustic but oh so nice. They have many, many wild animals for pets. Sheldon and his cousin Cameron loved feeding the deer. Linda took us around on the four wheeler and showed us John's cabin. Very impressive. We had a great time.

RA Derby Car Race

The Annual RA Derby Car Race took place in December. Each year Ron & Sheldon work very hard on their car. This year Sheldon's car was red and he called it the 'Cardinal', after the St. Louis Cardinals, which is his favorite baseball team. Where is the loyality to the Astros. Don't worry, Ron & I will continue to cheer for the Astro's.

BOO Bingo at School

At Sheldon's school they had a fun family night, with Bingo. Do you recognize the lady in pink? That is Sheldon's teacher from last year!!! She is so precious.

Happy Fall !!!!

Enjoy these great pics from the Fall Festival at church and the BOO Bingo at school. Happy Fall !!!
Sheldon choose to be Albert Pujols. He is on the St. Louis Cardinals and they just won the World Series. He is a Christian and an unbelievable athlete. Sheldon really likes him.

Go Houston Astro's

We love the Houston Astro's!!!

All of you know that we love our Houston Astro's. Well, we got the honor (and were lucky) to go the last home game of this season. We bought super good seats and Sheldon got to bring a friend. It happened to be the last game in the series with the 'Red Birds' (if you watch baseball, then you understand my last sentence). The Rocket, Roger Clemons, was pitching !!! A sell out crowd to over 41, 000. It was amazing!!!! We had a blast. We are very sad that the Astro's did not make to the play-offs next year. However, we are already looking ahead to next year's season. It makes me sad because I am guessing that it will be Craig Biggio's final season. He is my favorite. Anyways, enjoy the pictures.

Go ASTRO'S !!!

Weekend road trip!!!! We went to see our special friends, Rocky, Kristie, Anna Beth and Parker. Enjoy the pictures. We had a great time. We miss yall very much !!!!!

More Astro's Pictures

Here are some more great pictures from the game.

Houston Astro's beat the Texas Rangers...and we saw it!!!

On Sunday, July 2nd, we had the fun of going to the Ballpark in Arlington with my Dad to watch the big game between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. This is an event that we try to do each summer. We all love it!!! It is always very hot, but so worth it. As you can tell from the pictures, the East Texas McCown's love those Astro's. They are our favorites. We go to the games in Houston as much as we can. We love to meet them and get their autographs. This year we got to meet and talk with Andy Pettitte. He is a pitcher for the Astro's. He is also a Christian, he is one of our favorites. Our other favorites are: Craig Biggio, Brad Ausmus, Roger Clemens, and Lance Berkman. We actually love all of them. At home, we watch them everynight. We are so hooked on Major League Baseball! Of course, watching them last year make it all the way to the World Series. What a ride. Hope you enjoy the photos. From the McCown's.
