Thank goodness for the interpreter!!

Just had to share this funny moment from the Guymon household:
The other night we were eating dinner and Grace was adamantly begging for something. Usually I am pretty good at figuring out what she's saying, but occasionally I draw a blank. This was one of those times! She's a pretty determined little kid, so she just kept saying it over and over. What she was saying was very familiar, I'd heard it several times already that day, and in my head I kept thinking "I should know this one!" But my brain wasn't comprehending the toddler babble at the moment, so finally I just said "Sorry Grace, I don't understand what you are trying to say."
Suddenly Joshua pipes up, "Mom, she says she wants to listen to the 'Signing Time with Alex and Leah' song!" in this voice that totally said "DUH, Mom!
It's a good thing we have an interpreter!

Ta DAAA!!

The Texas Guymons family Blog finally has a new look!! Bryan picked the original layout back when there weren't any cute options and he loved it because it had a star on it, which is totally Texan. I have been trying for weeks to convince him that we could change it and it would still look Texan. My convincing finally worked, but on one condition: the new background had to have a Texas theme, too. I suppose it is fitting, seeing how we are going to be Texans still, we are even going to be owning our own little piece of Texas (more on that later!)! So if you ever wonder why we have patriotic colors all year round, it is because red, white, and blue are also the colors of the Texas flag. And, if you'll notice, there is still a star. :)
Ta Daaa!

Let Me Introduce.....

....My husband the
TTU LAW SCHOOL GRADUATE!!

Whoo hoo!
Go Bryan, go Bryan,
go Bryan.....
(this is where the kids do their happy "dad is done with school" dance!
It is very cute!)

Doesn't he look great!?
I was, and still am, so proud of him!!
The morning of graduation Bryan took his dad and his brothers
to the law school to look around.
They ran into one of the Deans, who also happens to
be one of Bryan's favorite teachers.
He told them that Bryan was one of the finest products
Tech Law School has ever produced.
It brought tears to my eyes to watch him walk across that stage and be hooded.
He has worked so hard.
He has done well in school,
participated in several extra curricular activities at the law school,
fulfilled his church callings,
and still managed to be a great dad and husband.
I love him.
