Number Twelve

We have all had so much fun with Ben's soccer this year. We love his little team, and they have all improved a ton! Here are some soccer pictures.

Last week, the Texans played a team called "FC Blast." Ben told us they had played the "French Fries."

We have two games left!!

Our Baby Girl Turned One!

Lindley turned one year old this past Saturday. We all had a great time at her party, and we are so thankful that our family and friends were there to celebrate with us! Of course her party had a theme and it was cupcakes. The kids got to make their own ice cream sundaes, and then the boys had tons of fun playing together, jumping on our bed (I had a pillow casualty out of that "game"), and playing soccer outside with their Dad's.



For her birthday, Lindley got her two front teeth, which I thought was traditionally more of a Christmas thing. She now has four teeth.

Lindley is not quite walking yet, but she is really close! She is definitely into EVERYTHING. She is still such a happy girl, and we love seeing all her smiles. Ben and Lindley are starting to be able to actually "play" together more, and that is a lot of fun.

Lindley also ate her first (and hopefully only!) bug not too long ago. And, when I say she ate the bug, I literally mean that I saw a black thing hanging out of her mouth, and I dug out as much as I could...here is what I dug out. Isn't this the grossest thing? I can't get her to eat vegetables at dinner, but bugs? Bring them on!

And, here is our little Aggie; it's too bad she hasn't brought them better luck!

One of Those Days

I think that my brain forgot to turn on when I woke up this morning:

First of all, I got Ben all ready for school, with lunch packed, and made it to my neighbor's house to pick up her kids for pre-school (we carpool). When I got to her house, she opened the door and informed me that there is no school today because the teachers have an inservice. I guess it helps to read the school calendar to find out if in fact school is in session on any given day.

Then, at work, I was asked to organize a SURPRISE baby shower for a co-worker. We've been working on it for a few days. When I sent out the e-vite, I included HER on the EMAIL list! So, she got an invitation to her own surprise baby shower. Thankfully, she deleted it without reading it, and so, at least at this point, she doesn't know when it's going to happen. Still theoretically a surprise, right?



Ugh....
