I promise I will post pics for Ethan's NEW DO.....

2011 SBANT Bowlathon

Check out Mr.Ethan's newest adventure! Check the above link "BIG E". All these donations go for the better good. Not only will our child benefit but soooo many children with Spina Bifida. It will help children to attend camps with their parents but also go off to camps without parents which give them independence. It seems the "big and heaviest" word in my vocabulary! A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!

NEW DO's

Look for new updates on hair-do's in the Rine Family!!!

It has to start somewhere....

Greg and I



So, everyone is probably thinking we fell off the face of the earth. We have just been crazy busy in the last few weeks. If you haven't heard we are putting our house on the market the 1st week of March. WE are wanting to move closer to Greg's work. The hour and half drive at times has really gotten to him...he has been doing for 4 years. So, I have been busy getting it ready for it to be on the market. It hopefully will be ready in two weeks. I also started my Certification for getting my teaching certificate.

In other news...I finally let Ethan spend the night at Fleetie and PawPaws house and I surprised Greg by us spending the night in Downtown Fort Worth. We had a blast hanging out togeher. Ethan loved spending the night with Fleetie and PawPaw. It was hard for me to realize that Ethan has to grow-up and that he has such great potential to become a very independent young man. I don't want to ever hold him back to the great places that he was born to go. This has been a hard ball to swallow. In the last month, I have been told by family memebers, therapists and people that know me very well...You have to let him GROW. Ethan was born for greatness and to be a fighter. I know our son very well, NO ONE will ever bring him down. He has this great passion for life. For the longest time I always wondered what it would be like watching Ethan run across the yard with his two legs...and I know in my heart that one day I will come.

There have been people giving me a big pat on the back for the Ethan's great recovery..I haven't done anything...this little boy is doing all the hard work. I feel like the most blessed woman for been given the oppportunity to be taken for this wonderful ride.

My 4-wheeler and Ryan...plus Mama and Dad

Ryan and Ethan racing each other!!!


I even rode the 4-wheeler...I used to go really fast but since having Ethan I learned to slow down!!!!


Our little man! He is fearless! Greg bought him those yellow gloves!! He loves wearing them! He is such a Little Greg!

We left Miami for This....Snow and ICE

We have been in the house since Monday...but we have made the most of it! Our house is clean as a whistle and Ethan has been busy doing homework and painting! It has been nice being home! Next week is going to be crazy!!!! We are going to play in the snow later!!

Cousin Jeb's Birthday Party!!!

We had a very nice time at the party!! It was great to see everyone! Jeb and Ethan are 7 weeks about, so it's fun to watch them talk. Hoak and Paisley are just precious!!!

Our Trip to Miami Beach

Way to go Dad!!! Greg won this trip through work! We had a great time! This was our family vacation for the year. Since we will be very busy for the rest of year we took advantage of the trip. Ethan loved the ocean and the heated pool!!! Greg and I loved the food!!

Ethan loves his Aunt Andrea..aka his god-mother

Aunt Andrea and Ryan went with us to the Stockyards. We had a very good time. Andrea really helps me with a lot of stuff concerning Ethan's education since she is a principal at Hickory Creek Academy. I am hoping Ethan will go there next year!!! We love her!
