Garrett came to the kitchen tonight and announced to me that Wingo and Bob Cutlass would be leading the dinner prayer. "O.k.". About 20 minutes later we sat down to eat and we were about to say the prayer when Garrett stopped us and said I have to go get Bob Cutlass and Wingo. We waited... He then told us that Bob Cutlass would be saying the prayer by himself and he used a different soft, deep voice to give thanks. Instead of saying amen at the end of the prayer (which is Ansley's favorite thing to say) she gave a big clap and a Yay! We thought this was cute and I can't help but think God did too. :)
For those of you who don't know Bob Cutlass and Wingo are car characters from the movie CARS. We are a LITTLE obsessed.

18 months today!

Ansley turned 18 months today and like all mom's I can't believe how fast it has gone. She is all girl. Today I bought her a set of sparkly bracelets because she always wants to wear mine. I have a girlie girl and I LOVE it!!!

We started our summer off right and had our first swim at the pool today. It was great because all the neighborhood kids are still in school and so we had the pool all to ourselves! It was great!

New York/Day4

The museum was really neat. We went on fieldtrip day...Oh Joy! I felt like my grandparents at one point because we had to find a bench to sit on to rest. The bed at the hotel was causing Cody's back to hurt and I just hurt from pregnancy.


Cody likes to watch Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network. He had a throwdown against the baker at Levain bakery as to who can make a better chocolate chip cookie. She won and so I had to find this place. It's a tiny place but the cookie was huge! I know the picture doesn't do it justice as to how big it really is. It was soooooo good!

New York/Day 3

On Monday we took a boat cruise of the Hudson River. (Still freezing)!



Ellis Island

Pier 54 where The Titanic was supposed to have docked. They brought the few survivors here instead.


The Brooklyn bridge

We went and got pizza after the boat cruise and a "Medium" was ordered. Thinking a medium would be like a Pizza Hut size...uh that would be a NO! We wondered why the guy that took our order asked us again "medium". He was asking like "are you sure?"
I won't show you the after picture but there was half of one piece left.

Cody and the Bull

How smart was Tiffany's in building one of their store's right smack in the middle of the financial district! I mean I guy could grab some diamonds on his lunch break!

New York/ Day 2

We did visit St. Patricks Cathedral on Sunday morning. It was weird to have a service going on and all these people walking around taking picture's. I hesitated at first but it was so pretty inside that I couldn't resist. Picture's just don't do this church justice.


That afternoon we went to see WICKED. It was fabulous!!!


So black is supposed to make you look thinner but for some reason I look like I am 18 months pregnant. We sat 5th row which made this show even better.

Um so I didn't know there is an M&M STORE!!!!! My favorite candy on earth and there is a store that is two floors of M&M's. Didn't get any because pregnancy heartburn...yipee! but I love knowing my colorful friends have their own store. I got so happy seeing them many times in Time Square. It's the little things...


We bought tickets for the gray line and took the night trip to Brooklyn. It was FREEZING! We didn't pack well for the first of this trip. It was unseasonably cold. Runny nose type cold. We could have gone inside the bus but then you don't see anything. It's much more fun being up where you can see.

New York-Day/afternoon 1

We flew in to NYC on Saturday. It was the first time for both of us. When we got to the airport in NY I made one of my MANY bathroom stops. When I came out Cody was talking with some guy in a nice suit. When I looked at the guy I thought "who is he talking too, he looks so familiar", maybe an ACU guy? I think everyone that looks somewhat familiar went to ACU. Marty Turco from the Dallas Stars... Yea not an ACU grad. He was the nicest guy. We left Marty and walked a couple of yards and a group from Fort Worth Christian were buying pretzels. They were about to fly home from their senior trip. Seriously! NYC for a Senior trip!!! My class went to some forest/campsite/who knows in Oklahoma.

When we got to town we had an early dinner at Carnegie Deli. We ate here three times. I am not big on Cheesecake but theirs is really good!

Our hotel was just a few blocks from Time Square. We walked down here a lot.

We decided last minute to see Chicago on 1/2 price that night. I love this musical! We laughed because we were part of the Crown Molding we were up so high.

New York!

Coming Soon....

Mother's Day

I enjoyed my Mother's Day weekend. We spent Saturday night with Cody's family. This year we went out to eat so nobody would have to clean their house/cook etc... After dinner we all came back to our house so the kids could play.
On Sunday it was my mom's birthday so we met down town at the original Mexican Inn for lunch after church. (Let me just say the old one is soooooo much better than the new ones that are popping up everywhere).

Aren't cousin's the best. Sorry Garrett you have to continue to be the lone boy.

Our aunt Kelly is so much fun! She spent time jumping with the kids on the trampoline.

YCW Spring Show

I have been a bad blogger this month. I have lot's I want to get caught up on here in blog world. Garrett had his Spring Show for school. Ms. Shea always does a wonderful job with all of the kids.



Cousin Garron is graduating this year from the 5's.


Our Sweets came to watch the show this year.

We were even but now look who is out numbered...

Garrett called it and when the stenographer told him it was girl he was like "yea I know". We went to lunch after the appointment and when we were headed back to the car I told Garrett we had to take dad back to work. He asked why and Cody said his life just got a little more expensive and he has to work to keep up with the growing girl population at home.
I know the equivalent to Air Jordan's are headed our way some day.
