NKOTB/BSB!!

Last Sunday night I got to be 19 or even 9 again & go see the NKOTB/BSB concert with two of my best friends Becca & Holland. I showed Savh my NKOTB giant button, but I don't think she was too impressed. One day, little one, you too will be madly in love with a boy band!

First we had delicious Mexican food & margaritas at Mattito's in Dallas. So fun catching up with my girls...it had been years since the 3 of us spend time together.

Then to the concert! Holland & I wore the giant buttons & got so many jealous stares! : )

The place was nuts! So many screaming girls! Holland even brought ear plugs...maybe b/c she was sitting right next to some of the screaming girls : )

And now lots of pics of the boys (I jacked these from my friend with a good camera...hope she doesn't mind!)

Oh Jordan! The love of my life from ages 9-10!

They came out in Mavs gear for the finale.

What an amazing night we had!! Can't wait till Savh is 10 with a boy-band crush of her own & I can chaperone/live vicariously though her : )

Brandy's Shower

We had a brunch/baby shower for my sweet friend Brandy from Bible study.

So fun getting all of our kiddos together.

It's incredible how difficult it is to get a pic of 5 little ones together! Henry was in charge of holding baby Andy, Breck was chewing on a toy, Savannah was ready to run & Brayden with his Mamma.

Take 1:

Take 2: Brayden, what are you looking at?

Take 3: Already tired of sitting for a pic : ) Oh well!

Berry Face!

Just love the blackberry face! Not so much the blackberry stains though...

Zoo with the Toddlers

We had an awesome time at the zoo last week with Kelly, Laci, Mallory & Jackson. Let me tell you, 3 toddlers are hard to keep up with at the zoo!!

The girls getting a closer look at the flamingos.

Savh snuck into the duck exhibit.

And wanted to bring a duck home : )

Rangers vs Astros

We had a fun family night with Jason, Summer, Elijah & Judah at the Ranger's game!

Happy Father's Day!

Savannah sure loves her Daddy! We made him chocolate swirl French toast for breakfast, spent the day relaxing at the pool (with a little yard work thrown in there) & then dinner out at a German restaurant & a yogurt bar for dessert. Here they are eating their yogurt.

It was also Uncle Jamey's b-day & so we emailed him this since he & Danae are on a mission trip in Brazil.

Watermelon

Gotta love eating watermelon in your bathingsuit on a hot summer afternoon.

Savannah & Baby Wyatt

Our sweet friends Brittany & Zane just had their baby Wyatt last week. Anxious Wyatt arrived 6 weeks early! He's beautiful & so tiny-less than 5 pounds!

Savh was into this baby more than ever!

I think b/c he's the size of her babies, she really wanted to hold him : )

Water from the Hose

Our little gardener found the water hose.

Ponytails!

4th Time's a Charm!

We'd been trying to go to this little Italian place called Nonna Tata ever since my JPM friend Scott recommended it over 3 years ago. 1st time-it was raining & we didn't want to wait in the rain. 2nd time-a 1 1/2 hour wait & we had Savh. 3rd time-they are closed on Saturdays. 4th time-got in!! It's a tiny little place on Magnolia with about 6 tables on the patio & even fewer inside. Super cute, tasty & worth the wait!

Craziest thing happened while we were there: a group of about 7 came up (bottle of wine in each hand-it's BYOB) & sat down at a table where people had just left. The only waitress asked if they had reservations b/c there was a wait & they told her they were friends with the cook/owner. A tiny Italian lady with an apron came out to greet the group & after a little talk, they unloaded a large table from their SUV, chairs with fancy chair covers, a table cloth & even a fresh flower centerpiece! They set it up on the sidewalk & proceeded to drink the night away. Wow!

Under the Sea stickers to keep her busy.

Then to Sammy's off of 7th for their yummy cookies with BlueBell sandwiched in the middle. We got one to share, but Bran & I each only got 1/4 I think!

Such a fun family night!
