Date Night at Urgent Care

Buzz off mom.

Hunting airplanes...we do this every day

Eating crackers...we do this every day too

My child is OBSESSED with baby signing time...she watches tv like her father- mesmerized.

An update from our world. My sweet baby has had a sinus infection and been on antibiotics for two weeks. I was all excited to finally get her off medication and the day she was scheduled to stop the meds her nose starts running AGAIN. So per doctors advice I continued her on the meds for another week.

So this Saturday our church put on a date night event where they gave you a bag of goodies to help you have wonderful night with your spouse. Troy and I had friends over to the house for a few hours before we were scheduled to go on our DATE NIGHT. I had been looking forward to date night for what seems like forever. We were going to go to a new restaurant in town that allows you to bring your own wine from home...saves you a little cash and then the world was going to be our oyster. But plans changed when Kendall spiked a fever of 103.6. After calling the nurse help line, Troy sped us over to urgent care, hazerds blazing, to get us in just before the urgent care doors closed at 8pm. Kendall was seen by a doctor who diagnosed her with an ear infection. Poor girl...I had no idea her ear was hurting her...no signs.

After urgent care, we had a romantic drive through dinner at Chick-fil-A We used one of the coupons from our goodie bag which got us a free meal. For dessert it was off to CVS Pharmacy where Troy bought us a diet Pepsi and Symphony Hersheys chocolate bar to split. He got Kendall two awesome bouncey balls, one with tinkerbell and then other that has glitter and flashing lights inside of it, and her meds. When we got home Kendall collapsed from exhaustion and so did we.

Oh well so much for the date night I planned it my head. It was still a great night spending time with my two sweeties. Man I hate it when babies are sick.

Since I don't have pictures from our urgent care date night, I thought I would post some from an awesome date night we had in December. We went to Troy's office holiday party and had a blast. The food-amazing, my date-hot and craps- kicked tail at it. Troy and I decided craps where so much fun because we weren't playing with our own money but the fake stuff. :-)

Valentine's Day Love

I LOVE VALENTINES DAY! I'm not exactly sure why. I guess it's all the flowers, chocolates and love floating around. This year for Valentine's Day Kendall received a bubble blower so she could continue her love for bubbles! My wonderful husband sent me 36 Red Roses. They are beautiful and I had a great time arranging them just how I wanted. I made Smores and chocolate covered strawberries (yummy) for Troy in our backyard on our chiminea while we sipped our favorite Champaign. We ended up having to use the grill to roast the smores since we couldn't keep the chiminea fire burning....I forgot about the kinling. It was a wonderful Valentine's Day for all! Hope yours was just as lovely.

Multi Tasking

Today at lunch Kendall decided to put her multitasking skills to good use. As you can see she is both sleeping and eating at the same time. Notice how she has left her sandwich on her bib for later. She is amazing in my opinion! :-)

I also have an great video but the darn thing won't post to my blog. Oh well the pictures give you the idea.

Christmas Holiday Vacation

We had such a nice holiday visiting my family in California. We got to see both my dad's and mom's sides of the family...my mom hosted both Christmas Eve and Day...she's insane. We got to spend two weekends with Jon and Lou which was awesome and spend time with my Grandma (my mom's mom). Uncle Jon taught Kendall how to pick her nose so a big thanks for that...don't you just love brothers. They are never up to any good. Then my dad taught K how to hit the wall and say "Boom". I have no idea why but she loves to do it and is still up to it here in Texas.

We got to visit with my girlfriends and their hubbies. We played this fun dice game...it was especially fun because Troy & I won approximately $40 in one dollar bills. We never win so it was real exciting. We also got all the kiddos together for two play dates; it's always so fun to see how they all have changed in just a few months. Troy and I spent our first night away from Kendall since she was born; we stayed at lovely Wine & Roses hotel for a little R&R. We were also able to met up for dinner with the Horton Family, our dear friends from D.C. and their baby, Isaac. We spent 3 days in the mountains at our family cabin. Troy and I went skiing which we had not been able to do in 2 years. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful.

What a wonderful Christmas Holiday Vacation!

Post New Year's New Years

The 3 Amigos Band

This year we were in CA for New Year's so when we returned we had a Post New Year's New Years Party with our awesome friends, the Tellez Family. We made dinner at their home while the kids played and once the kids went down we sampled all kinds of champaigns and played games. The next morning the kids decided to start their own rock band and even incurred some injuries in the process. It's rough out there! It was a blast Tellez Family. Thanks so much for having us. Looking forward to celebrating 2011 with you at our home!
