SURPRISE!!

Mindi turned 27 in February and Levi did a great job of throwing her a surprise birthday party at Terry and Lauren's house. She knew Levi was up to something but couldn't quite put her finger on it. He told her that they were going to have dinner at Terry and Lauren's then go out afterwards. I think Mindi thought we would all surprise her after dinner at some bar but boy was she wrong. We all huddled up in the living room and when she came through we all yelled "SURPRISE"!! She looked a little confused at first but was pleasantly happy that all her friends came out to celebrate her birthday. The boys cooked some yummy hamburgers and spicy hot dogs and I have to say the cake was awesome ; )

Happy Birthday Mindi, love ya!!

Shhhh...here she comes

SURPRISE!!!

Look at that handsome boy

Make a wish

what did ya get

Mavs vs Lakers

Brent and I got to go to the Mavs vs Lakers game last week courtesy of MillerCoors. I didn't realize how big of a deal this game was until we got downtown and the area was packed to the hill. I have never been to a game where I had to sit is so much traffic just to get into the parking garage. It was all worth it when Brent pointed out to me that JZ and Beyonce where sitting court side on the floor. Once I spotted them I of course couldn't take my eyes off of them. I know, I know I'm obsessed but I can't help it. There were rumors that the Kardashian's where there watching Lamar but I never ended up finding them. Brent wouldn't let me scour all the suites in hopes of finding them, thanks a lot B-rent. Anyway, it was a fun night, glad I went!!

The Mavs kicked the Lakers butts

I know its hard to see, but that's JZ & Beyonce sitting in the middle of the picture, JZ has sunglasses on

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Brent did so good this Valentine's. He bought me a really cute card and coordinated it with my presents. He was very thoughtful and got me my favorite perfume and an IPOD shuffle for me to use while I'm working out. I couldn't believe how tiny the shuffle is, crazy small. He wrapped it in a sparkly red bag with matching tissue paper. Thank you honey!!

I tried my best and got Brent a new back tire for his dirt bike. The guys at the bike store thought I was the coolest wife because I was buying my husband a tire for valentine's day. They asked me if I had a sister because it was taken. It was pretty cute.

After giving each other our presents we went to Outback "our restaurant" for lunch. Brent wants to begin a tradition that we always eat at Outback for Valentine's Day. I love the idea and hope we stick to it. We stuffed our bellies then went home for the rest of the evening.

Cute wrapping job B-rent

All my goodies

Show me your card

I bet your surprised


I love my daddy and I couldn't resist making him cute valentine's cookies for Valentine's Day. Enjoy daddy!!

Jerod & Caden playing in the Snow!!

I got to spend a little bit of time playing in the snow with Jerod before it all melted away. We built half of a snow man before Jerod got bored with that and was only interested in throwing snowballs. Luckly Caden came over and took over playing duty with Jerod. Caden and Jerod are such good buddies!!

Record Breaking Snow Day!!!

I can't believe Dallas got 12.5" of snow yesterday!! It was so peaceful sitting by the window sipping on hot chocolate admiring how beautiful it was outside. I couldn't wait till Brent got home so we could go outside to play. When he finally arrived we threw on some warm clothes and played like little kids for a while. We threw a few snow balls, took a couple of cute pictures and then I was off to build a mighty snowman. He didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but at least I got a good workout! Happy Snow Day Everyone!!


You better watch it

Let the snowman building begin!!

2010 Update

Wow, I can't believe it is already February of 2010. I have a feeling this year will go by even faster last year. I haven't had much time to blog because work has kept me soo busy. I work all day then come home and do work on the computer all night. Seems like I might see Brent for an hour each day : ( Hopefully things will ease up soon and life will get back to some type of normal.

I will be traveling a lot this year for work. I'm going to Vegas in March for our MillerCoors Convention, then to Golden, CO for draft training, then San Antonio for our MillerCoors Region Meeting and then ending in Milwaukee for Linenkugel Camp. All during the months of March-June. Crazy few months ahead!

Anyway, here are some updates of a few things that have gone on : )

Cowboys vs Eagles Playoff Game at Cowboy's Stadium
Brent and I got to see the Cowboys win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Jan. 9, 2010 at the Cowboy's Stadium. I haven't been able to go to a game this year because I was always working so it was pretty exciting that my fist game was to a playoff game and we WON!! Here are some pics!




Jerod's New Puppy Jasper
Jasper is the newest addition to our family and he is so adorable. So sweet, never barks and loves to be loved. Welcome to the family Jasper!!







Happy 55th Birthday Mom!!
My mom celebrated her 55th Birthday in January! The family went out to eat at Texas Land and Cattle in Rowlett and then went back to Grandma's for cake and ice cream. We ended up going through Grandma's old shed in the backyard and came across a lot of childhood memories. Many of which included my PawPaw. Miss you and love you PawPaw!!


Frozen Water-Fountains
January brought many cold nights and while I was driving I saw this water-fountain off Beltline that was completely frozen. The picture doesn't do it justice, it was crazy looking!

This fountain is the one at our Townhome. I can't believe fountains freeze like this.


Punt-Pass-Kick at Cowboy's Stadium
Our On-Premise team for MillerCoors had a week long meeting in Jan in which one of the days our meeting was held at the Cowboy's Stadium. After a long day of meetings, they had planned for us to do some team building activities down on the Cowboy's field at the new stadium. It was really cool getting to walk out on the field where the visitor team does and seeing the stands from ground level. They planned for us to group into teams and compete against each other in a Punt-Pass-Kick game. We got to see how far we could punt and pass the ball down field and then see how many times you could kick the ball into the field goal moving further back each time you make it in. I passed the ball about 25 yards, punted the ball about 40 yards and kicked the ball into the field goal twice, I missed the third kick. It was a lot of fun and great memories!!

Walking onto the field from the visitor's side

Go Cowboy's!!

Punting the ball 40 yards

I can't believe I made it in...twice!! All the boys were impressed : )
