Boys Just Wanna Have Fun


Hub and friend scored Yankees World Series Game One tickets while we were up in New York City. (Please notice that they're wearing coordinating sweaters for their big date.)


The Yankees took a beating so the crowd was unusually subdued that night, but they did see Ice T when leaving the game, so they had that going for them.


Unfortunately, Ice T is not pictured here, but this is a shot of the outside of the new stadium.

Home Again Home Again

We're back, and we're tired. Even Lu, just back from the Bradly B&B, is tired. Pictures and commentary to follow sometime soon.

Happy Birthday, Leah!


Leah celebrated her birthday last weekend in cute downtown Plano, just down the road from her newly purchased house. We went to Upper Crust and showed that pizza who was boss. Then we went upstairs to their bar and rooftop patio. FYI, some people like to party in an apron. And some people like to party with a framed picture of their dog. That's just the way some people roll. Get used to it.

Beasties... I mean besties.


Lu and Sophie, hanging out, being cool, doing what cousins do.

Everyone loves him.

This is my sister and her son. I have caught a little grief over not posting about how great he is. In this first photo, he and Lu are having a contest to see who can be the cutest and thereby accrue pepperoni from the pepperoni distributor. So far, it's a tie, but I'm pretty sure they both ended up winners in the end.


Little nephew loves anything mechanical, anything with hinges, anything with buttons or screws or bolts. He will take it in his hands and pull it up close to his blinking eyes and move it and figure it out. Here, he is about to attack my phone and get really upset that I want to take his picture instead of just handing it over for his entertainment. Dooon't be distracted by this piece of random toilet paper or my fuuunky hair. Just hand over the black shiny phone to me, and everyone leaves happy.



A couple weekends ago, Sis and I went back to Palestine for a shower. Nephew is a champion traveler, and for the most part, was a happy happy little man for our four hours in the car. He did take his lemonade and try to get a party started by shaking it all over his face and the back seat. What are you going to do? Sometimes you just need to party.


Parties can be exhausting.


I caught him chewing on the face of his stuffed duck, and Sis told me he was trying to chew the eyes off. I keep telling Sis he's just like Lu, but she doesn't seem to like that idea. I don't get it. It's a compliment, right?

Old News


These pictures are actually from a few months ago, but I kept forgetting my phone cord and just haven't gotten around to getting them off my phone and onto the computer until now.


I got Hub what I thought were great Cowboys tickets for his birthday. I quickly realized after his understated/anti-climatic reaction to his gift that I had, in fact, purchased pre-season tickets, which apparently aren't very exciting. I mean it's essentially a scrimmage. I get it. We went anyway and enjoyed ourselves... sorta. Hub insisted that there's nothing impressive about the new stadium. Obviously, he has discriminating tastes in sports venues.



His thought bubble says, "Boring... I'm so not impressed."
