Galaga

Overcome by technology, I retreated to the safe embrace of 1981 where everything made sense.

Some days I feel like a dolphin

Does anyone have a SeaWorld employment application?

The most convincing evidence that this guy's tricks are for real: "United We Stand" tee, classic 80's sweats with pearl white adidas and a solid tuck.

Did you hear that the Energizer bunny was arrested last night?

He was charged with battery.

Thank you Chris Hurt for this gem.

Secily's Photo Shoot

While we were at the arboretum last weekend I thought it would be great to take some cute pictures of the kids in the flowers. I had thought ahead & dressed Larson & Secily in coordinating outfits....this is the only picture I managed to get of the two of them:

But I really wanted some cute pictures of them in the flowers, so we kept at it. After a few pictures of Secily that looked like this:
We finally got it together (well, partly together, you will notice that Larson didn't quite make it into the rest of the pictures!) and got some cute shots of Secily:

The Wiebe's Visit Texas

As I said yesterday, we had a great time with Geoff & Teresa in town. They stayed for a short 3 days, so we packed a lot in!
The first thing that we packed a lot into was....our Suburban! Check it out - 4 adults, and 4 car seats!
Don't Geoff & Ryan look absolutely ecstatic about being the ones to ride in the back with all those kids! :)

We picnicked at the arboretum,

Picnic lunch

Took a trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo,

Sweet baby Gracie
And spent some fun time around the house

Jumping, jumping, jumping.....they had a blast!



We also threw in a lot (a LOT) of shopping, a Stars game (thanks B-Lars!), some golfing, and a ton of talking! It was a great weekend!

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic

My sweet friend....

Our good friends, Geoff & Teresa, came to visit us this weekend. Teresa & I have been friends for a long time - around 15 years (which as of the 12th of next month, equals out to half of my life).

She & I became friends in high school,
Yes, this is prom (or as we Canadians call it "Grad")...and yes, I am aware of my *awesome* hair. Thank you.

We stayed friends through college,
And through meeting future husband (that is husband singular, mine only, since she & her hubby Geoff have been together since 10th grade!)
I stood up for her in her wedding.
And she stood up for me at mine.
She is most definitely, one of my most favorite people on earth.
And this past weekend when they were in town, we did as we usually do - and had a fantastic time!!
More about that.....tomorrow.

Byron Nelson

Garrett and I went by the Byron Nelson Pro-AM today where 2008 Masters Champ Trevor Immelman politely asked me to mention him in today's post.

"Ok, I just need you three to act like you're taking a picture of
something really interesting....Alright, got it. Have a nice day."

Suite

B. Lars hooked us up with Stars tickets in the company suite. They had
free cookies and the Stars won. Sweet.

Moving

What percentage of Americans have changed their address in the last 5 years?

Band of Brothers

With the NFL draft a week away I'm always reminded of the best non-drafted athletes.

Country Livin'

Curlers...check.
Fishing equipment...check.
We're still missing the double wide and a pantry full of Spam. Actually, just the double wide.

Verdict......Guilty.

The mug shot tells all.

He did indeed stick a blue M&M up his nose.

Yes, we did retrieve it. But only after a few tries of me telling him to "blow" and him "sniffing" instead.
He oozed blue the rest of the day.

Parental Units

• When my dad was 16 he beat Jimmy Connors in tennis.
• My mom played a cream pie wielding clown on TV named Piedo.

A full bag of chips

In high school I had a friend whose part time job was to fluff the
bags of chips to make them look as full as possible. I am not making
this up.

Gone Fishin'

Aunt Chandra came over last night with a present for Larson....a fishing pole!! After trying it out in the backyard,
we decide to hit the pond



He had a great time, and caught a lot of seaweed. Thanks Auntie Chandra!!

Secily was so excited for him that she did her signature dance move to celebrate.
