Super Stars!

Emery (my little diva) loves wearing sunglasses. Since she gets attention wearing sunglasses, Huston now likes to wear them as well. Here they are sporting their shades...

Sic Em Bears!

So close yet so far away... The Bears had a chance to make the Big 12 Championship, but in the end they ended up losing. Saturday night we were invited to a "Baylor Bears" get-to-gether to the country club by the Allen's. Our fellow Baylor Bears (the Talleys) and their Baylor bound cubs were included. We all tried to wear at least green and gold- but it was chilly outside so our normal Baylor t-shirts were covered up by something else or had a different color added to the mix. We had a great time and Emery LOVED being doted on by the two Talley girls. She was soaking it all up! I had never seen that before. Future babysitters... hopefully this summer!

The game tended to be a little boring... no offense, Bears! Kathryn "Lovey" and Huston decided to take pics of each other- hence the random K shot.

What's that brown thing...

Today Emery woke up with a fever of 101.4. I kept thinking that it would go away and I wouldn't call the doctor. Yeah right, I tend to call the doctor and make appointments super quick. Being that it is March- the month of sickness everywhere- I wanted to make sure that she didn't have an ear infection. Yep it was an ear infection. Huston had one last week and is finishing up his meds from it. At our appt today, the doctor wanted to take a look at Huston's ear (the one infected last week) to make sure it was healing well. Huston had his hand covering the ear after the doctor took a look at it today- mind you it was like he was getting a shot- terrrible! When we got home, the only thing that made him stop crying so hard was to put a band-aid on it- hence the band-aid on the ear. After hearing him moan about it for half an hour we fixed it with a band-aid. Then his dad had to make a comment (H had totally forgotten about it by then) and then it started all over... My sister, Aunt Elise, gave Emery her old Barbie's from our childhood. Emery wanted one for the tub and then Huston wanted one so I pulled out the old Ken doll (a boy doll) for Huston.

They had a blast with them in the tub! Huston and I had a funny conversation while he was bathing. He asked me what I was chewing (gum). Then I told him that he couldn't start chewing it until he was 5. He told me that he was already 4 almost 5 (he will be 4 in July). Then he said.... "I am old- really old". Gotta love it! I left the kids playing in the tub while the water was draining from the tub to get their jammies. I came back to find brown spots floating in the tub right next to Emery. What in the world?!?! After realizing what it was and laughing so hard- Huston starts screaming that it was coming close to him and about to touch him. I could hardly get him out of the tub I was laughing so hard. Then Emery gets up from the tub and says- "Uh-Oh!" Priceless!

This post is dedicated to my younger brother. While all three of us kids used to bathe in the tub together- Elise would be the one to scream- "What's that brown thing!?!?" Love you guys!!

Bob the Builder

Emery loves Bob the Builder. Can't get enough of the guy (along with Elmo and Bob from Veggietales- something about the name Bob) :)

Recently, Bob the Builder came to SA but when I looked into the price of tickets- I fell to the floor in disbelief. The cheapest tickets that I could find PER PERSON were $79.00!!! Yep, you read it right... $79.00! Oh, they had other tickets that were higher priced.... Some tickets were $418.00 a seat! Come on! That's absurd!

Ode to Bob...

And the Oscar goes to...

I found this funny pic online from Chicago. While we were out shopping (imagine that!) on our last day, they had a promo for the Oscars airing that evening. We took a photo with an actual Oscar (those things are pretty heavy AND they had it wired down to the podium). Here is our funny pic...

Happy Birthday, Mom (Grandma)!!!

Wedding

Clark, Elise, my Mom (Kristi) and I went to a wedding Saturday night. It was such a lovely wedding and even better catching up with "old" friends. Clark gave me the evil-eye because I took a pic during the ceremony- when did that rule come about? I didn't know you couldn't take pics during the ceremony?? The bride looked stunningly beautiful and very happy. I am excited for their new lives together. The brides father is a dentist but has a hobby of oil painting. He does a really great job and painted a portrait for the couple of their engagement pic. It was awesome! The grooms cake was really cool. The groom is totally a Texas Rangers junkie. Most of their pics together are at the ballpark. It reminds me of the movie with Drew Barrymore where she dates the guy who is a baseball/ballpark fan- Fever Pitch. Naturally her choice for the grooms cake was very fitting! It was an awesome looking cake. Best Groomscake that I have ever seen decorated! Way to Go Dondo!!
