A weekend for T day one...

We started T's birthday weekend today. J and I took the day off and took T for a personal tour at the fire station close to where I work. I know 2 of the fire fighters and they did such a great job of making it special for T. They blocked off an entire hour for us! We all enjoyed learning about the fire truck and how the fire house works. It really is amazing...and yes I still love firemen!!! Anyway, then we headed off to the Jumpy House (as T refers to it). We met up with the grandparents and A there...let's just say for the next hour we all felt like kids again. We got in the bouncy houses with both kiddos and had a blast! We headed off to Chuy's for lunch (yummy mexican food). This evening we met up with friends for dinner and went to a very very small carnival. Tomorrow is the big birthday party!

It's all about the cupcake...

We have a busy next few days coming up in our household. It's T's 4th birthday this coming weekend. The festivities will start tomorrow, he is taking cupcakes to school (no I didn't make them this time...HEB did ;-). Friday we are taking him to the fire station for a personal tour, that's right I get a personal tour with a fireman, oops I mean my son get's a tour of the fire station (haha). We are also taking him to Madagascar 2 that afternoon. Saturday is his birthday party, woohoo!!! Then Sunday is the acutal birthday! What a weekend. I guess this weekend cake will be a food group for all of us ;-). Oh and yes, I will be making his birthday cake. It's a space theme so I am making a rocket ship, I will take pictures and post them after it's all said and done (hopefully it looks like a rocket, I am no Martha Stuart).

And the score is...

33 to 39 Tech!!! That was the score from last night's *7Texas Tech v. *1Texas game. It was one heck of a game and this morning I find myself with very little voice, but it was all worth it to see Tech beat Texas! What a game!

Happy Halloween

The kids loved Halloween this year. It was the first year where A actually got to walk up to the doors and say "Trick or Treat". She and T had a blast together. A was a Texas Tech cheerleader and T was Buzz Lightyear!

It's all about the outfit...

"I Did It Mommy..."

A has been expressing interest in the potty lately. She has been asking to go before bath time and a few other times throughout the day. We have started putting her on the potty before bath, but mostly she just sits there. Well...last night she asked to get on the potty again and I took her off and put her in the bath tub, she cried the whole bath. After bath she asked to go again so I let her. "I did it mommy" were the next words out of her mouth. She did it! She went potty!!! I was so excited. Tonight she did the same thing and went potty again! I can't believe it because she is not even 2 years old yet. Maybe we will be diaper free by Christmas? We are very excited about the pay raise we will get with not having to buy diapers anymore.

It's The Weekend...

It's the weekend and it's off to a great start! Last night we headed out with our good friends to Oktoberfest in Walburg, TX. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the band. It was a different sound then I am use to but they were great! We all had a great time. The camera was acting up so we were not able to capture the night as well as I had wanted. Saturday morning J headed out to run the Livestrong 5K and will ride 90 miles in the Livestrong ride tomorrow. He has a busy weekend. As for me...let's see...I plan on getting a pedicure and manicure later today, do a little shopping, and watch some good college football! It's going to be a nice relaxing weekend. We are so proud of J for rasing money for the Livestrong ride and going out there and joining everyone in the fight against cancer! Thanks J!
