Mindi's 25th B-day!!

Ok, so I know I am sooo late in posting this blog but better late than never. All the girls got together for Mindi's 28th Birthday at Manny's Uptown and it was such a good time. We all got strawberry margarita's (ok not Sue cause she is pregers!!!!), talked baby talk of course and I think we pissed the waiter off because we were there for so long catching up. After dinner, we were all feeling adventurous so we headed to Sherlock's for more drinks. At that point is when we found out how old we really are cause we complained to each other that the band was too loud and we couldn't hear each other talk. It was a fun night and we can't wait to find out if Sue is having a boy or girl!!!

Bring on the strawberry margarita's!!

Bring on the dessert

Happy Birthday to YOU

make a wish

Party girls at Sherlocks...umm yeah

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!

Super Bowl 2011 - Arlington, TX

Pre-Party at House of Blues
Brent and I got to go to the pre-party at House of Blues hosted by Miller Lite and the Dallas Cowboys featuring Drake. It was a lot of fun and I saw a lot of celebrities like the Matthew Morrison from Glee, Emmitt Smith's wife, all the Dallas Cowboy players like Miles Austin, Ashton and Demi Moore and of course Pete Coors to name a few. Brent proceeded to drink a little too much but luckily he held it pretty good until we were in the car on our way home. It was a fun night to say the least!!

Super Bowl Party at our house
Brent and I held a small family party at our house to watch the super bowl and to eat on some good grub. I was hoping Bub, Michelle and Jerod could come but they were all pretty sick that week so my parents and Brent's Mom and Dave watched the game with us. Brent's brother and girlfriend Jessie were going to come as well but last minute Brad got a free ticket to go to the Super Bowl...so not fair.

My corny decorations


Mini dounut balls...yummy!!

Munching on the good food...chips, dip, cookies, soup, fruit, veggies and mini smokies


Early Prediction - Girls vote Packers, Boys vote Steelers

Texas Sized Snow Day

I couldn't believe we got a blanket of 6" of snow after staying home from work for 2 days because we got iced in. This has been one crazy week considering all the big cities closed their schools 4 days in a row...that's unheard of. I enjoyed it thou...got to work from home, spend time with Brent, run the fireplace and ate odd meals all week because we couldn't get out of the house to get anything good. This weekend is Super Bowl weekend here in Dallas and we are hosting our first super bowl party. Pics to come...

Well good morning 6" of snow

Our new home covered in a blanket of glittery snow

Pizza never tasted better after eating what we had in the house all week

I couldn't resist stopping at the frozen pond, soo pretty


Look how my snow ball sticks to the top of the pond

What a great day!!

Spring Trimming

My sweet parents came over last weekend before all this crazy snow to help Brent & I get a grip on our yard that was covered in leaves. They even helped us trim all our crepe myrtles that I didn't realize would be such a feat. I walked to the back of the house to find my mom lodged up in the tree trimming the hard to get to limbs. That is true dedication. She got them all trimmed thou.
Thanks for your help you guys!!

Just one more limb mom

Yay you did it!!! Now how are you going to get down??

Wii and Nuclear Cowboys

Lately, Brent and I have been spending a lot of fun time with my little nephew, Jerod. He spent the night alone with us for the very first time a few weekends ago and we had a blast. Jerod and Brent played Wii for hours and they managed to make it all the way to world 8 in Mario (there are 9 worlds), we baked cookies from scratch, walked to the park, found rock chalk and ate at Chick-fil-a. Love every minute of it!!
Last weekend I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Nuclear Cowboy show at the AAC. Its a free-style motocross show and Brent wanted to take Jerod so bad. I ended up getting an extra ticket and invited my brother to come along. Jerod was amazed at the tricks those guys could do on their dirt bikes and he even got to see a guy do a backflip on a 4 wheeler. I was so happy that Bub and Jerod got to do a guy bonding thing too.
Can't wait for our next adventure, I think we might take him camping!!

Happy New Year 2011!!

Brent and I rung in the new year by celebrating at home with our family. My parents, Vicki, Dave, Grandma and Leon joined our party and it actually turned out to be a lot of fun. We ended the year on a great note eating pizza, pasta, bread and salad. Yummy!! For dessert, we had apple pie and a new fruit pizza mom created and it was delicious. The boys watched sports and the girls chatted all night till midnight. Everyone had a great time blowing their horns and popping their popper when the clock struck midnight.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
