8 Months Old Today - August 31, 2008

Time is really flying. Landry is 8 months old today and still has NO teeth! Her bottom 2 are trying real hard to pop through but no luck yet. No teeth aren't stopping her from eating, though. Her favorite is Club crackers, but she likes Cheerio's, Nilla Wafer Mini's, and Mini Ritz with Cheese, too. And Raspberries, can't forget those! She tried a pickle at dinner, but wasn't sure what to make of it.

We got her a little car at the Goodwill that she can ride on or push. She likes it. Although, we about fell over today when we were at Ashley furniture. They had those little cart things that look like cars with the steering wheels. We put her in it and she started turning the wheel like she was driving it.

Her new favorite game is kicking her brothers in the head while her daddy holds her. You should hear her giggles!

The boys started school on Monday. Toby started Middle school, yes, I said Middle school. He's in the band playing percussion. Scout is playing football again this fall, and oh..Brian got fired for being too experienced of a boat sale rep, oops! Happy Labor Day Everyone!

P.S. - Don't miss the pics of Landry in her Aggie Cheerleading outfit!!

5 Year Anniversary

So Brian and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this past Sunday. He was actually able to pull one past me and order me flowers with out me finding out on one of my daily credit card charges search!! They were really pretty and I was shocked. I gave him gift #1 on Friday night which was a new camera lense for his camera. He loved it. All the pictures you'll see were taken with it. You won't be able to tell online, but it makes a HUGE difference.

Sunday night, our actuall anniversary, dad came over and watched Landry so we could go out to dinner. We went to Nick & Sam's in Dallas. It was really nice. I was also able to give Brian his favorite rum that can only be bought in Grand Cayman thanks to my good friend Kelly who went there on vacation and I begged her and her hubby to bring it back.

I can't believe it's been 5 years already. Time really does fly! Enjoy the pics and check out the close up's on Landry and see how BLUE her eyes are! There are some pics of Scout's football practice, too!

Summer STAYcation 2008

So this year we took a summer STAYcation instead of a vacation. It's too expensive to go anywhere so we decided to do things around here normally we would not do....

MONDAY - Six Flags Over Texas
What I learned from this day......I'm getting way too old for this crap. Even older when Brian and I realized it had been 15 years since we worked there. And even OLDER when we realized how old we would be when Landry was big enough to ride roller coasters!! TUESDAY - Relaxing and grilling at the house
Kevin and Becky are on their whirl wind tour before heading off to China so they came over for the day and we all just hung out. We grilled hamburgers and then went to the pool. Kevin and Brian played football with the boys and Becky and I played with Landry in the baby pool. After swimming everyone came back to the house and the boys challenged Kevin and Becky to some Guitar Hero and Wii playing. It was a good day!
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY - Going to the Lodge, Great Wolf Lodge
We headed to Grapevine to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge, for those of you that don't know....They have lots of water, they have lots of fun, they have lots of everything for everyone.....and for those of you that do know, now you are singing their theme song out loud :-) Basically it's a hotel that has this HUGE indoor waterpark with lots and lots of water slides. They also have an outdoor water park as well. Once you get tired of swimming you are sucked into their MAGICQUEST game. It's this 6-8 hour game where you use you wand to find things all throughout the hotel. After completing 9+ Quests you then must complete 3 Adventures and slay the dragon to win! Toby successfully completed, Scout came close but couldn't defeat the dragon. We ran out of time and had to leave.....This is a sore spot for Scout as he wanted to win, too.......
SATURDAY - Belt Testing Time for Toby again
We got up Saturday and went to Toby's never ending belt testing. He's now an advanced purple belt, whoo-hoo!!!

Kylie's 1st Birthday Party!

So Landry went to her friend Kylie's 1st birthday party yesterday. It was fun. The kids played and we ate BBQ. When it came time for cake, Kylie wasn't so sure what to do so Landry had no problem showing her. She had almost an entire cupcake eaten before Kylie even got to the cake!! She was still in the icing phase!!!

My Landry, a little piggy piggy!!

After the party we came home and just snapped some random pictures of her playing and the dogs lounging.

This is what happens with brothers really fight.....

His face is filthy cause he just ate ribs :-)

AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HIS MOM WORKS FOR ONE OF THE BEST COSMETIC DENTISTS IN THE AREA..........He put the tooth back on, bonded it and you can't even tell all in less thatn 45 minutes. It was remarkable.

Landry's 7 months old

I totally forgot to take some pics on Landry's 7 month old "birthday" before we stripped her down to nothing. So here is the one little picture I took with my phone!
