Happy Birthday!

Hey everyone! Today is Chris' 30th birthday! Feel free to wish him a happy birthday (or leave a tacky comment about being old.) I filmed Noelle answering questions about Chris' birthday, but I couldn't get it to load on blogger. Urg. Anyway, Chris, I love you and hope you have a great 3-0!

Here's a look back at Noelle's b-day wishes from years past. It's fun to see how much she's grown!

An Instructional Video

Recently, Noelle has been using her baby dolls to show us how she is going to hold Jared. She has been very loving and sweet...most of the time.





Despite our outbursts of laughter, we are doing our best not to reinforce this.

Growing Girl

For the second time this week, Noelle and I have eaten the same thing for a meal, and she's out-eaten me! And I'm pregnant & very hungry! I wasn't prepared for this to happen so early in her life.

It was me

Dear Readers,

I know that many of you have been waiting with anticipation to find out the answer to this post. I know that it is gross that I would actually tell Noelle to blow her nose into her dirty shirt. However, since the shirt was destined for the dirty clothes, there were no tissues nearby, and most of all, since I'm lazy, I did tell her that it was okay. Of course, I could say that I was trying to be "green" and save a kleenex whenever possible.

Yours truly,
Sarah

My Awesome Wife!

As many of you know, I have an awesome wife. There are many reasons that she is awesome, but one of the more recent examples of her awesomeness was that she gave me tickets to the A&M-Arkansas game at the new Cowboys Stadium for Father's Day. Despite the outcome of the game, we had an awesome time watching the Aggies and experiencing all that is Jerry Jones World.

** This was Jared's first time to attend an Aggie game; however, he had a somewhat obstructed view.

My brief thoughts on the game:

A&M lost 47-19, but I somehow didn't come away as discouraged as you might think. It's quite puzzling that A&M had more total yards, more first downs, more time of possession, and fewer turnovers yet lost by 28 points. I'd prefer to win the game rather than the statistics. Maybe we can work toward that for next week.



We got to spend some time with a good friend of ours from back home.




It's a long way down. Just ask Sarah what she thought about it.


Jerrod Johnson spent most of the game running for his life.


Moral victory: Our band was better.

Noelle's Version

Open Letter

Dear Readers,

Tonight as we were having Noelle get undressed for her bath, she took off her shirt and blew her nose into it. One parent quickly asked her what she was doing, but the other parent jumped in and said that he or she told Noelle that if her clothes were already dirty and about to be put in the laundry hamper, it was ok for her to blow her nose in them.

So that I don't have to mention any names, please leave a comment and tell me which parent you believe has instructed Noelle to use her clothing as a Kleenex. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

The Other Parent
