Daddy's little girl

The other morning my son, who sleeps in only his boxer briefs, was chilly. Most people would simply put on some clothes. But not Brady!!! He went upstairs and got my pink Victoria's Secret robe and wore it around all morning!

Daddy was so proud!

Sara's Getting Married

My cousin, Sara, is getting married in 2 weeks. Friday night, she had a little bachlorette party. We went to dinner at a tasty Mexican restaurant and then went back to her house for gifts, drinks, and games. (Some of her cousins are underage, so they opted to have a party everyone could attend)

Here she is opening my gift. "What'd ya get, Sara?"

A little elephant for Jared! Won't that be fun!

*** Just so I don't take any credit, Jon went to a store in FW and found this lovely gift. I did not go with him. ***

Just Plain Pooped

We got home from Texas around 10:30 Sunday night. By midnight, we were all sound asleep. Monday morning, Brady and I went and picked up Raider at Dr. Wilkin's.

While I was fixing lunch later, this is what I found in the living room.

And then he looked like this.

Three hours later, he was refreshed and ready to go........ to Grammy's! She had called to say she made his favorite cookies for him!

I Can't Sleep

Now that I have all of our "Trip to Texas" pictures loaded, I thought I'd post a random update of random things. (Mostly because I took a power nap before dinner and now can't get to sleep)

While we were in Texas, some of the funniest moments were:
1. Amanda, my oh-so-smart sister-in-law, and her realization that there are only 4 time zones in the U.S. All this time she's thought Texas, Ohio, and NY were all in different zones. (Texas is, the other 2 are in the same zone) You probably had to be there, but trust me!

2. Megan showing her mom the necklace she got as a bridesmaid gift. (Another one that was only funny to me and Amanda at the time)

3. Jon and Brady getting pedicures

4. Jon's forehead on Saturday. He's a bit freakish looking in the pictures, but still funny

That's all I can remember 2 weeks later. I knew I should have posted all of this back then!

And now for this past weekend:
Saturday Brady's baseball team lost their final regular season game. Badly. They finished the season in 2nd place. They start tournament this Tuesday evening. If they win that game, they will be in the championship game on Saturday (maybe). Tuesday Jon has church softball. They too are vying for position. They're tied for 1st and will be playing the team they are tied with. So he'll miss Brady's game. And on Saturday, he is in an all-day softball tourney! But he thinks the other 2 coaches are also going to be out of town. So........ we'll just have to wait and see. They can't play coachless.

Saturday afternoon, we took Brady shopping in FW and drove thru McD's on the way home.
My 8 yrs. old son:
-- needed to shop in ONLY the young men's sections
-- bought 30x30 khaki pants and 30" shorts
-- has a foot that will currently fit into a 7 1/2 shoe
-- is so excited about the shirt Dad found for him that says "you can't spell AWESOME without ME"
-- and ate the same thing for dinner as his dad: a dbl quarter pounder (no cheese though), fries, and a drink!!!!
This kid is going to be a GIANT

Reception

I completely forgot to post pictures from the reception! We were only there long enough for the boys to eat. Then we headed back to the Van Cleave house to pack and sleep before hitting the road at 4:30 the next morning!!!

Here are the flowers at our table.

A view across the dance floor.

Brady getting a drink at the juice fountain.

Haley's cake was pretty, and I do have a picture of it...... but I'm a chocolate lover! Phil's cake was just amazing! I never had a piece, so I cannot vouch for the taste, but it was gorgeous!
