Zoo, Burgers, and Butterflies

Tim finally got a little break from
school over the Holidays so
we went on a few outings.
We met up at the Zoo 
with our friends 
Daniel, Sabrina, & Holly 
and their Kids.

Bight blue-eyed baby Miles

Maddox with his BFF, Kolby, rocking his cool shades.

Silly kids

I thought we were gonna 
get kicked out of the zoo.
Tim taunted all the animals, 
imagine that!!
Monkey trying to hide from Tim

Just monkeying around...


We caught a Private moment with the elephant...
so of course I took pictures of it.  Hahaha



We were missing Bradley, who was at Scout Camp w/ Grandpa



Later we went with Daniel & Sabrina
to this quirky outdoor restaurant,
"The Shack" to eat the
biggest heart attack burgers, ever.
They have a burger with 
honey buns as the buns and 
fries topped with
Cheese and BRISKET!
And also some seriously 
good fried pickles.
Here's Tim with his burger that has
2 grilled cheese sandwiches for
the buns!  Holy Heartburn!

Me & Sabrina

Thanks to Groupon, we went to 
the Butterfly Museum for a 
whopping $14 for the whole family!



My manly man carried the baby around in a sling

Family Challenge: Eat these Worms!


Maddox- spit them out

Marci- spit them out

Bradley- spit them out

Surprisingly I won!  They had no taste, just crunchy.

Christmas 2011...slightly late ;)

Who blogs about Christmas 
this late in March, you ask?
This girl does! 
Better late than never...

We were able to split our time
time between both our families.
We are so blessed to have
2 great families!
Somehow I forgot to take
pics at Tim's parent's house. :(

Here we are at my Mom's on 
Christmas Eve.

The grandkids on my side of the family


I love Ashlyn's face

The kids with the blankets Grandma made!

ANOTHER pic with Tim smiling....wow!

Bradley excited to get his iPod touch

Happy bed-head Marci

Apparently I've passed down my propensity
to make crazy faces in pictures...

Maddox finally gets a DS

The only American Girl doll I could afford....
6 inches tall LOL


Again with the faces...

Miles' 1st Christmas


Marci with her "American Girl"-ish doll.
Fortunately she didn't even care it
was a fake!

*Spoiled Rotten

It's no secret that when it comes to
friends, I'm spoiled rotten!
They are the best!
My friends from back home came 
to visit me for my 28th birthday!
We also met up with my sister Amanda.
Of course, as our tradition, we
gorged at Cheesecake Factory.
But at least this time, Mandy didn't
drop the pager in the toilet! ;)

Me & Mandy

Cassey & Allison

All of us with Baby Miles in tow

Shopping at Woodlands Mall


Again, since I'm so spoiled, I went out with
my friends here in Houston too.
Food, friends, and fun- what more could
a girl ask for??

Cate, Me, Rosie, Dianna, Sabrina, Lindsey, & Holly

Cate, Me, & Rosie


Marci made me one of 
her traditional hilarious  B-Day cards!

*Funny story about me being labeled 
as "spoiled rotten"-
Cassey's husband, Jake, and 
Tim are good friends. 
 Jake worked at our bank when 
Tim went to order checks for back when 
I still had my own little account 
of "me money".  They ordered my checks to 
have "Spoiled Rotten" printed on 
the memo line of every single check!! Haha  
And this was not the only time 
those 2 messed with my checks.  One time, 
instead of the girly checks I usually get, 
they ordered me a whole case of MLK jr. checks, 
with his face and one of his quotes on every check!
