Weekend in Austin...

THEN, we ventured to Austin for a wedding reception of a girl I played soccer with in college. B's brother and his wife are so amazing. Not only do they love our kiddos, they agreed to watch them over night while we danced the night away!

B's old roommate and his wife flew in from California! We felt very fortunate to be able to spend some time with them!! The kids were so happy to see them as well!!! So glad they decided to come!

The reception was such a GREAT time...other than my typical blunders. There was this other guy that "shaves his head". He looked like B and I couldn't tell them apart!!

Here I am with E. We met on the soccer field when we played together in college. I used to always say I had a non-sexual crush on her, but lets face it...she gorgeous and its sexual! WOW! She looked amazing... it may have been that she was happy to be there with her friends, family, and love of her life, BUT, it could also be that she is just radiant...

KC and I had a good time on the dance floor! I love this girl! We are so lucky to have them in our lives...I truly hope we are "life-long" friends!!! Can't wait until S's wedding!!!

C's Christmas Concert...

So our holiday season has been busy to say the least. C had a Christmas Program put on by his school. He is such an angel and was really focused and trying hard!! It was difficult to decide which pictures and videos to put up because he is so great in all of them!!!







































One of a few videos we were able to capture! He really sings well!!!!

Our Baby is 7months old...

Do you like how I missed 6 months? Man, we have been busy. Being an adult is not really that cool! At any rate...our little one is now 7 months old and she is really changed this month. She can now eat her baby food so well. Before, she would just spit it out :) She will spit it out if it is something she doesn't like...carrots for example. She can also sit up like a big girl. I had a dream last night that she stood up...hopefully she won't do that for a while:)

Here she is a Thanksgiving. She was a little turkey:)
































Don't worry...her mom and dad love her so much even though she is the 3rd child. I guess I love her too much :) I thought she wouldn't push me away until the teen years.

She's an angel:) I just wrote angle instead of angel...funny.

So it snowed on Friday...did you hear about this?

Snow? in Houston? The poor city was frantic...including me:) The school district let out an hour early and my college closed at 2pm. Traffic was horrendous when I was trying to go pick up the kids. B said that it was pandemonium at the high school.



BUT, When I got the kids home, we ran around outside and threw super tiny snowballs at each other. B and I kept saying how beautiful the snow falling really is. So fluffy and pretty:) We considered moving somewhere that we would see snow on a regular basis. That lasted about 10 minutes...and then I was too cold.

Thanksgiving, is a special night...

Gramma and Papa came to town for the first EVER Thanksgiving at OUR house. We have always traveled or were at someone else's house. I had to make the turkey and everything...

As soon as my parents got it, I put my mom right to work. She feed the baby, read books, ran around outside with the kids, etc.

Papa helped too!! He loves his granddaughters:) It helps that AC is agreeable.

You know I love the self-timer...especially when its combined with a tripod!!!

The pups even wanted to get in on all the memories being made...

A&M vs Baylor...and my birthday

We went up to College Station this Sat because B's college roommate was in town. We were lucky enough to get to go to the game as well. This was a plus for so many reasons...one of which was that we WON!! Whoop!!!

We started off the weekend with lunch at Chicken Oil. Very crowded and very delicious...mmmmm...Tiajuana fries...

We had to park a half marathon away from the stadium and on our walk the weather was frightful...so cold and misty rain:( By the time we made it to our seats there was a beautiful rainbow...
The game was great. The company was great. The weather turned out great... Aggieland is great!!

Vegas Baby!

So, I went to Las Vegas for a math conference! The best part was that my mom went too:) We were just a couple of math teachers hangin' out in sin-city...good times.

Here is the picture from the plane. Turns out Vegas is pretty close to the Grand Canyon...huh?
Here's me and mom on Freemont St. We saw the light show and then went to eat at B&B Ristorante, Mario Batali's restaurant. Here is a couple of my new friends...
My mom wouldn't let me take a good picture of her:) We are walking around in the Venetian here. See the fake sky?

I spend most of my time with my new buddies at these Virtual Black Jack tables. They were very fun and you could yell at the dealer when you got bad cards...
