Sugar & Spice

That’s right…Rich and Lana are going to have a daughter!!  I am so excited I can barely stand it.  Sometimes I think I am more excited than they are because I know what they are in for.  And it will be so fun to have a little girl around.  Although that means I still have like 10 huge containers of boys’ clothing that I need to get rid of.

Rich’s Favorite Band

If you know Rich, you know who I mean.  The good part about the concert was that it was at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, OK so it wasn’t a big clusterf*** like the American Airlines Center can be.  The bad part about it was that it was in DURANT, OK.  Yeah.

But we bought tickets and off we went.

Notice the scarf because it snowed that night.  In March!

Notice the 5-necked guitar!

IMG_4187   We went across the street to walk around the casino after the concert was over.  Unfortunately, I didn’t gamble because you have to pay to play blackjack!  Yet another reason to hate Oklahoma.IMG_4200 IMG_4206 All photos.

Up next: exciting, awesome news that I already alluded to in this post!

Conversations with Noah

Noah: Mommy?
Me: Yes?
Naoh: Be quiet.
Me: Noah, we don't say that.
Noah: Mommy?
Me: Yes?
Noah: Be quiet, please.
Me: That's not what we say. We say, "Excuse me" and then wait our turn.
Noah: Excuse me. Mommy?
Me: Yes, Noah?
Noah: Be quiet, please.


OMG.

Operation Catch-up: Christmas

Yes, I’m a lame ass.  I uploaded Christmas pictures over 3 months late.  You can see them all here or 6.32% of them below.

 

Getting ready to go outside and play in the snow.  I have really big hands!  (Or I’m wearing Mommy’s gloves.) DSC_0391

More presents?!  For me?! DSC_0424

This is the first year we’ve had to stay up late and put gifts together.  And by “we” I mean “Trevor”.

Coming soon: my niece!

Okay, so I might get a nephew, but I am really convinced that it will be a girl and I have never been wrong yet when it comes to gender prediction. 

Believe it or not my brother is actually going to be a father at the ripe old age of 44-almost-45.  He & Lana are so excited because they don’t know any better.  (Kidding.)  I am thrilled that Noah will have a cousin on my side of the family.  I am already thinking of all the cool stuff they will do together and vacations we can take and how much fun they will have! 

So, for Rich & Lana…in September 2010 everything changes.

Snow!

We’ve had several “snow events” (shout out George Carlin!) in Texas this year, but they were nothing compared to what Maryland got.  I took a few (hundred) pictures while we were there in December, but lucky for you I will only post about a dozen.
