Blue and Gold Banquet - Cub Scouts

What an exciting night for Eli, McLain and Elijah! They were able to participate in the Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts (even though they are not quite 8 years old) Together the boys with their mothers made pies for last night's dessert. The boys were presented with a blue and gold patch and then the Boys presented their mothers a certificate for the pies that were made. Mine was We're "NUTS" About you!

I can't believe my baby is going to be a Cub Scout! The boys will even get to participate in the twilight camp out in June this year. How exciting! So - here is another activity to fill their cup! Good Luck boys!

Heidelberg's Thor von Indiana

We are so excited to introduce the newest member of our family! Robby is so excited he is finally getting his shepherd!! We visited the Heidelberg German Shepherd Farm on Saturday (just to look!) and we found Thor! Robby has been talking for the last year that when he gets his shepherd puppy he is naming him Thor. When we got to the puppy farm, we looked for 3 hours at all the beautiful shepherds. We were there when the cold front moved in and rained then the temperature dropped 25 degrees! We played for a long time with Thor, the boys ran around in the grass with him, loved on him, kissed him, etc.

Thor was born on December 27, 2008 - He will get to come home with us on April 14, 2009 when he is 4 months old. We can't wait! We will keep you guys updated!!

The Happy Couple! 9 Years and counting!!

What a time we had last night! Robby surprised me and took me to the Boardwalk in Kemah last night. I wanted to ride the Bullet - but it is closed for Winter maintenance?? Winter?? This is Texas - we don't have Winter. Anywho - we had dinner at The Saltgrass Steakhouse (Robby's Favorite!) He had the Ribeye and I had the porterhouse! That's right, I ordered the Porterhouse!! That is the biggest steak I have ever seen! By the time we had our fried pickles, Shrimp enbrochette, and soup.....We were so full there was no room for the Steak! So - we have plenty of leftovers for Sunday dinner! As we sat in our booth, I was taking pictures of us (super fun!) and an older couple that was sitting next to us offered to take this picture of us! The gentleman asked if we were celebrating anything special??? We told him our anniversary! He said, "Well, that battle axe and I have been married for 50 years!" and she quickly replied, "Don't scare those babies!" They were both very nice - I hope Robby and I will be that happy when we make it to 50 Years!

My Stinkin' cute boy!

I just had to share this picture I took of Jacob last night after gymnastics! What a cutie pie!!

Yurtle the Turtle story!

Thank goodness we now have a fence! Robby was cleaning the turtle tank on Tuesday. He put Yurtle in the wagon (thinking this would hold him) while he was cleaning - Robby needed to run a quick errand to pick up supplies at Home Depot. He was only gone a little while, but when he returned Yurtle was nowhere to be found! After looking through the entire backyard for over 2 hours. He finally called me with great disappointment to tell me that Yurtle had escaped. Lucky for him I was leaving work and came home to help him. I went in the backyard and walked the perimeter of the fence and when I arrived at the swing set - there he was! Hiding in the grass!! He is greeen - the grass is green..... HMMM! Small details! We are so glad that Yurtle is safe and back in his tank!
