Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

I took Chuck to L'auberge Du Lac casino for a 24 hour getaway for his 28th birthday! Once again, thanks to Grandma Henry and Auntie L for watching our little bambino while we participated in some lazy river action, gambling, drinking adult beverages AND sleeping in.... = )

We had a fantastic time celebrating with some friends and family and it was even extra awesome that we ended up $500 on top! Funny side story- our friend James told us if he won $500 he would buy us all massages...well, Mr. Dye, I can't wait for my 6 massages!! Our friends totally racked up! Fun times!!!

Next adventure- traveling to Virginia Beach on Thursday for THE Weise family reunion!!

Just another manic monday!

Christopher met the boo boo bunny today. The boo boo bunny is nothing more than an ice cube surrounded by a washcloth and tightly closed with a hair tie. He face planted today at school into a table and cut his upper eye lid and bruised his cheek. THEN he came home and fell into his toy shelf in the new playroom and busted his lip open. Poor thing...I think it really hurt his feelings. Anyway, he loved sucking on the ice cube for 15 minutes or so and it seemed to really help with the swelling.

Also, I finally captured Christopher's Mr. Yuck face on camera. He's such a stinker when it comes to eating dinner. He's so picky. He loves milk and cheerios. I never know with the rest....

Here's Christopher after bathtime-

One Thousand Miles Later....

This past weekend Charlie, Chris and I went on a little adventure from Pearland, Texas to Fairfield, Texas (to see Ma & Pa), Ada, Oklahoma (to see my great-aunt Lorene and visit Dane's gravesite), Rockwall, Texas (for cousin Nate's 1st birthday celebration) back to Fairfield, Texas THEN home! We put 1033 miles on my car! It was a looong weekend but well worth the travels! Chris was AMAZING this trip. He didn't fuss AT ALL! Thank the good Lord because that would have been a long 14 hours in the car had he been fussy! Here is a look at our trip in pics! Enjoy!

Happy 1st Birthday Nate:
I had so much fun making the birthday cakes!:

Health Advice!

If you are over:
40 and female- get a mammogram! (or younger if others in your family have breast cancer)
50 and male/female- get a colonoscopy! (or younger if others in your family have colon cancer)

If you are reading this you should have a skin check YEARLY!!! Skin cancer can kill anyone! Find a local dermatologist.... I'm just sayin'!


These 3 simple exams can save your life!!!! And I like you and want you to be around for a long time so JUST DO IT! = )

Encourage those you love to do the same!

Detour!

Well...our bluebonnet adventure this weekend didn't really work out...maybe next year! Instead we took a detour to Brazos Bend State Park to go gator hunting! It was pretty scary being that close to the gators! Check out the pics below!
Taking a water break!
We managed to find a few bluebonnets!


Also, Chris' two top teeth are sooooo close to busting through...can't wait for him to have 2 more sharp teeth to bite my shoulder with....(insert sarcasm here). And for those of you who heard about Chris' 2 week episodes of diarrhea and vomiting...we have been D/V free for 2 days. Thank goodness because I couldn't take one more day of vomit running down my back! = )
