newphew E's first haircut.

E and Chrissy came in town last month, one more time before their baby girl, Lydia Grace, is born in September. One of the highlights of that weekend was when I got to spend some time with them at mom's shop, Salon Basia, giving E his very first haircut. He did awesome, especially after mom gave him a brush to distract him with!

He looks so handsome with his new haircut! Man, I miss that boy.

a great week

This week was a great week for both Scott and I.  Work went well, Scott and I stayed up late having fun conversation a few nights in a row, God blessed Scott with the opportunity for an interview, and Scott may be bringing home a motorcycle tonight he found on craigslist....mm yeah, the motorcycle and the interview are probably tied on his list of excitement.  I'm really excited about most of that list and will be more excited when I actually get to go on a motorcycle ride. I trust when he sees it he will make a wise decision about buying it, right Scott?  Please be praying for Scott's interview on Wednesday!  Now we get to see Chrissy and Elijah for the weekend along with enjoying Amie's baby shower for Blake Douglas (I like to call him Blakey D) in Chicago on Sunday!  Lots of babies in my life right now to hold me over until I'm ready someday.  Have a great weekend!

couldn't resist

the Schneid's road trip to TX.

Scotty and I just got back from our nice, long road trip to TX on Saturday. Surprisingly, the drive was a lot of fun. I didn't think I would not enjoy it, but there is only so much you can do for 15 hours in a car. Not for Scott and I!  We made each other laugh a lot, danced, sang, at a lot, talked, listened to a book on tape, etc. Yeah, I love him. We got to Josh and Chrissy's apt on Saturday night and of course, right away, I took video of Elijah. He's the cutest ever. Our video basically consists of Elijah, Scott and I being dumb, and the awesome food we ate. So here's an overview of the Schneid's trip:

We played with Elijah...a lot.

We got to see the church where Joshie works.
We at at an awesome places like, Chewey's, Rudy's, and Round Rock Doughnuts.
We went to the pool twice...it was 90 degrees there.
We slept on an air mattress for a week.
We saw one of Scott's campers from Kanakuk.
We explored downtown Austin: the capitol, UT's massive campus, and 6th street.
We experienced Mount Banal. and $3 million homes.
We stayed with Ashley and John Barret for a few days in Dallas.
We sat 8 rows behind home plate at the TX Rangers game.
We celebrated Ashley's 24th bday with Uncle Julios and frozen custard.
We saw Troy Aikman at the frozen custard place (I didn't know who he was:))
We experienced Dallas traffic.
We experienced the love Texians have for their "country."
Scott grew a nice mustache for the week.
I cried when Lucy, the pigeon, had to have her baby eggs taken from her on Ashley's porch.
We walked around SMU's campus and Highland Park (one of the richest areas in TX)
I got to eat at a Chick Fil A.
Whataburger is not tasty like every Texan thinks.
And the cherry on top was getting to see the Kirchner's new baby Zeke!

awaiting our roadtrip to TX.

In one week Scott and I will be in Austin, TX visiting Josh, Chrissy, Elijah, and baby #2! We are pretty pumped about this road trip. We've taken a few road trips, but not this long and far of one. We are leaving on Friday, staying in a hotel in Tulsa, OK till Saturday, then driving the rest of the way to Austin, TX. We'll be there a few days then we'll go visit with my great friend Ashley and her husband, John, for a few days. Woo...lots and lots of driving! I'm glad hub and I get along because it's a good 15 hour drive to Austin. So excited to see this face:

This is the face I can' wait to kiss all over....

Elijah turns 1 year old!

Well, I'm slightly...ok, really obsessed with my nephew, Elijah.  He just turned one on February 13th, so Josh, Chrissy, and Elijah all came in town to celebrate his one year of life:)  He is the cutest boy in the world!

he had that doily so far in his mouth!

the game of "let's going under daddy's legs"

he loves his uncle Jess

watching a youtube video with grandpa Dougie.

 On the day of his birthday, we had a birthday party for him.  It was his first time ever having sugar...he wasn't sure what to do with it at first. He knows would not put that cake in his mouth because he knows what "no touch" means, so Josh finally put Elijah's fingers in his mouth for him.
