Visiting Great-Grandmas


This weekend Stuart, Hannah, and I drove to Dallas to visit our grandmothers. Before we left, I took Hannah up to the office to have Teri take a look at her. She hadn't been sleeping well and had a really wet cough. Turns out, she has ear infections in both ears. Hannah was really fussy on the way there but we had a great weekend. On Saturday, we spent the day with my Grandma. Stuart did some handy work for her while she enjoyed Hannah. We also went shopping and Grandma went crazy buying Hannah lots of toys! Uncle Barry cooked another fabulous dinner and we had a great time hanging out with Aunt Harriet, Uncle Barry, and Grandma.

Aunt Harriet and Uncle Barry go all out for dinner at their house! These are our appetizers!


I wish I would of taken more pictures of my grandmother with Hannah but this is Grandma and Hannah playing with one of the new toys that Grandma bought her.

On Sunday, we stopped by and visited Stuart's grandma. Mema looked great and also really enjoyed seeing Hannah. Hannah slept the first half of the trip home and fussed the rest. On our way home, we also stopped by the ranch. They have really done a lot out there and I was able to see where Stuart likes to spend his weekends. Hannah cried for the last hour and a half of our trip, but we made it home safe and sound.

Last Sunday we went to another 1st birthday party. It was Cady's first birthday and we had a blast hanging out at the Lange's house with lots of Hannah's friends. Colter cooked hot dogs, burgers, and dove. Hannah crawled over the yard and played with her friends. She ate her first hot dog (she actually ate all of her friend Hannah's hot dog) and an entire piece of cake! Hannah really enjoys going to all of her friends birthday parties and we have a great time hanging out with all the parents!

The Pumpkin Patch










Last year while pregnant with Hannah, I imagined and wished for this year to come to take the obligatory pumpkin patch pictures... Seriously, for a year, I had been looking forward to this. I took Hannah out the St. Luke United Methodist Church's Pumpkin Patch yesterday and here is what we got... We didn't do a lot of smiling, but we seemed to enjoy the pumpkins.

The March of Dimes - Tour de Vine


Thursday night our friends, Laura and Jeremy invited us to the March of Dimes fundraiser event, Tour de Vine. We had a great time! Outback catered and we got to dress up (Stuart even wore his suit) and Kristan stayed with Hannah. The March of Dimes is a wonderful organization and a cause I personally feel drawn too. Maybe it is because I take care of children, maybe its because I have a child, I don't know but I like to support it. Our freinds Heidi and Will Krueger's family is the Ambassador family this year, their daughter Hannah was born at 30 weeks gestation, and is doing great now. Anyways, lots of our friends were there and we really enjoyed spending the evening with Laura and Jeremy. You could buy chocolates for $20 a piece and in 10 of the chocolates were jewels. We bought 1 chocolate and there was a blue topaz in it!!! Wow, I never get lucky. We did purchase several cupcakes looking for the diamond pendant, but we didn't get it. There was a live and silent auction where Stuart bid for a this adorable tutu outfit from Le bebe for Hannah. We had a great time and thank Laura and Jeremy for inviting us to such a fun evening.

A gift

I walked in this afternoon to my wonderful and always thoughtful husband saying "Don't be mad, but I got you a gift..." In a way, I got excited, perhaps he meant he had spent too much money and bought me some really nice jewelry, or even and iphone, or maybe something even for Hannah..." but then I walked into the living room to find....

these... A brand new set of golf clubs! Yay! But, I do not play golf, do not enjoy golf, and certianly do not have time for golf. But he "got a good deal"... Oh what a wonderful and thoughtful husband I have...
