Seriously, I mean seriously ladies!

I am not sure I can explain this picture except to say we were at my sisters' house visiting with an old friend and the next thing we know out walks these things. They had it all over their faces, arms, legs, feet, and stomachs.

Notice the beautiful necklaces!!


It doesn't stop there! No tonight when we got home from San Antonio and I was giving the girls a bath Kendall had two hearts on her "cheeks" and Taylor had two X's on her "cheeks".

Thank God for washable markers.

Holy Guacamole!!!

My Aunt Karen is turning 50 on Monday (Happy Birthday), so for her birthday she wanted to go to Big Lou's to celebrate.

For some background knowledge, Big Lou's was featured on Man vs. Food for their 42" pizza!!!!! Yep, three and half feet wide pizza with over 30 pounds of cheese, toppings, sauce, and dough. Do you feel your waist expanding just thinking about it??


So 15 family members meet there to help her try it out. Well we didn't know that you have to order your food when you first get there, then wait to get your table, and once you get your table they will start your order. They tell you that it takes an hour to make your pizza!! So after a little (or an hour and half) waiting it was delivered.

Feast your eyes on this monster!

Check out my grandmother's face in the background- to funny.


This picture doesn't do it justice. It was HUGE! The waitress gives you a lesson on how to get a slice on your TWO plates successfully when it comes to your table and even with two plates the slice still hangs off!

Karen eating her birthday pizza!


We didn't even finish half of the pizza with all 15 of us eating off of it and the pizza tasted really good. You could only eat one slice and you were full.

Thanks Aunt Karen for a cool experience and hope you have a wonderful birthday!

A Year with Frog and Toad

So after Taylor's soccer game the girls and I headed to San Antonio we meet up with Grams, Avery, and Aunt Jennifer to go watch A Year With Frog and Toad at Magik Theatre. We love this place!


The set was really good this time but the girls were a little disappointed that Frog and Toad were not dressed as a frog and a toad. But the actual play was enjoyable as always.


After the play we stop at one of the historic houses next to the theatre downtown and had an impromptu photo shoot. Since everyone was being cooperative for the moment.

WE SCORED A GOAL!!


Saturday morning Taylor had team pictures.

Team Philadelphia


Yes you are seeing correct, this season she has four girls on her team and two boys. Unfortunately one of the boys was sick and couldn't make it.

After pictures we had game two and Taylor SCORED HER FIRST SOCCER GOAL IN A GAME!!!! Actually she scored twice!!

(that's Taylor kicking the ball)

She was so super pumped when she did it and so were Ryan and I. Yes we are those obnoxious parents on the sideline cheering the whole game and no not just for her but everyone.

Way to go Taylor!

Football, Friends, and Food

Saturday we invited a few friends over to had a little Baylor v. TCU viewing party.

The girls were super excited to have friends over to play and play hard they did!

Taylor and Caroline vs. Kendall and Finley

We had our own personal catering service (Jon E) come over to get his grill on and YUMMY is all I have to say.

The Baylor spirit squad thought so too!!

And the best part of the evening is that I got lots of baby love from Mr. Miles. He could be the sweetest baby ever.


Unfortunetly, Baylor didn't win but we had a great time with our friends.

You would think that it was a kid party because I didn't get one picture of the 12+ adults that were at our house. Oh well next time.

On a side note, Finley is completely obsessed with Marley. I think every time I saw Marley she was in Fins arms or lap. It was to cute.


It's Soccer Time Again!

It's Soccer season again! This season Taylor is on Team Philadelphia.


We have had a couple of practice and this Saturday was our first game.

Checking to make sure we have the correct gear.


This season has started off much better than last. First she is super excited about playing and loves going to practice.

I love her face in this picture.


She did awesome in the first game. She got lots of "game time" and was all over the field, running after the ball, and kicking it.


Her team won their first game!
Good job Taylor and Team Philadelphia!

Sic 'Em


On Saturday we headed to what the girls call "Sic 'em Bears" or Waco for the Baylor-Buffalo game.


We met Ryan's parents and his Uncle and Aunt on campus.

Taylor, Mimi, and Kendall


First, we had to go see Lady and Joy, who were both out (which is rare- usually they are sleeping in their caves)!


Then we headed over to the stadium to do alittle tailgating. Carina had never been to a football game or done tailgating so we had to give her the whole experience.

The girls were excited and did some cheers for us.


Poppy, Ryan, and Uncle Neal


Then we made our way to watch the football players get off the bus and meet some cheerleaders. The girls were totally intrigued by them but unlike last year they would actually talk to them this year.


Next up was Touchdown Alley! First up was tatatoes for the girls.

Kendall was not liking how hot it was (have I mentioned that it is like 500 degrees outside) so Ryan took her back to the car to cool down but Ta and I stayed around to play some more with Uncle Neal and Aunt Carina.

Obstacle Course


Catching money!!!


Finally it's game time!!



The girls were amazing at the game. Kendall sat with Ryan most of the first half asking all kinds of questions about what was going on in the game. I thought after five minutes he would get annoyed and want to watch the game but he didn't, he answered all her questions no matter how many times she asked. She referred to the other team as "the buffalo" the whole time. It was really cute.



We watched the half time show, did lots of cheers, ate lots of junk food, and had a really good time!

Baylor won 34-6!!!

The 3 Amigos!


This past weekend my sister, Jennifer, brother-in-law, Joe, and niece, Avery came in to visit.

I have mentioned before that when these three get together that they act like they haven't seen each other in years and it doesn't matter if it has been one day or three weeks. They just love each other!

So on Saturday afternoon we headed out on the lake for some fun (and to wear them out!).


They girls put on some water shows for us.


Lots of driving off the end of the boat!

Well, Avery and Taylor did the jumping off and Kendall would swim from the front of the boat to the back, over and over again.


Avery swimming with noodles!


Avery had never tubed before and the girls were so excited to tube with her.

Taylor and Avery- she did awesome!


Kendall and Avery


We had our own paparazzi on the boat!


We had a fabulous day with lots of good laughs and we accomplished our mission on wearing them out! Thanks for coming and visiting!
