Happy 50th Dad!!!

Dad vs Mom (atv racing)

Today was my Dad's 50th Birthday! We started out the night at Shogun eating some delicious steak, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, soup and salad. It was a very entertaining dinner. Then we headed to our house for cake, ice cream, presents, rock band, and motocross vs atv on the PS3.

We suggested that my mom and dad race each other and it was hilarious. They both started out horrible, but only cared about where the other one was...basically if they were getting beat by the other one. Then, after a couple of races we moved onto rock band. We played several songs...blink 182, jet, soundgarden...and very last Boston. My dad loves only country, with the only rock band exception being Boston. So...he sang very enthusiastically to Long Time. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. We had a very fun night and I hope he will always remember this as a special birthday..as it should be!

Another Fun-Filled Friday!!!

This Friday Jeremy and his friends went to play miniature golf (The green jacket championship-as they like to call it...nerds) and then go watch the basketball games at a sports bar...so I got to have a girls night. Jess, Kinley and I met my mom, dad, Lissa, and Courtney at Haley's playoff game against Tomball. After her game Lissa, Courtney, mom, Jess, Kinley and I headed to our house to order pizza and play rock band. We had so much fun! My mom had always thought it sounded like such a stupid game, but we played for hours and she claims she'll be using the house key we gave her to come play on her lunch breaks!!! ;-)

Our Easter Weekend '08

Macy stayed at this tree all day and didn't budge...poor squirrel!

Me and Court (and for those of you wondering where Haley is, she was at a beach house with her friends for Spring Break) We missed her and aren't used to her being gone on Easter!

This weekend was a great time with family and friends. On Friday I went shopping with my mom, sister Courtney, and brother Matt. On Saturday Rachel came over to help me install my Uppercase Living items I'd bought at her party a couple of weeks ago. Then Saturday night we celebrated Easter with Jeremy's side of the family and then Shad and Kaleb came over to play Rock Band. Sunday we went to church and then went over to my parents for a delicious Easter lunch. Then we watched the Spurs beat the Mavs. It was an interesting game with Dirk getting hurt and Ginobli and Stackhouse getting physical. Stackhouse is a bit psycho if you ask me!

We hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter weekend, too!

Enter with a happy heart (Uppercase Living expression now in our entry way) The colors I got it in are Chocolate brown and sage green.

Forever & Ever now in our bedroom :) Love it! The pictures don't do it justice but I know several of you have asked me about this stuff and/or weren't able to make the party. I have several projects I'm working on instead of putting all the expressions directly on the wall so I'll try to update once I get some of those completed.

Superbowl Party!!!

Well, actually it was a rock band at halftime party! But we had a blast and were so glad everyone got to come. :)

Rockin' and Rollin'...

This weekend we got a new toy...Rock Band for PS3. On Saturday we had friends over, and played for about 4 hours straight and the guys were good enough to earn us some new gigs and songs. It was really fun, but harder than I thought it'd be. It was so fun watching everyone play the drums, sing, and play the guitar. We had a few pros (Jess' sister and her husband were in town) so that made it easier since they were really good.

We are having a Superbowl party next Sunday, so I'm sure we'll play it at halftime or at the end of the game...Jeremy and I'd better practice before then!!

Here are a few outtakes from our concerts :)

NOTE: YOU NEED TO HIT PAUSE ON OUR PLAYLIST TO HEAR THE SINGING ON THESE VIDEOS

Here we were creating a rocker..it was hilarious

I think Jess should keep her day job :)

Jeremy, the lead singer in his new glasses...haha

On another note, but definitely fitting under the title of this post, here's Taylor dancing on Sunday at the Goose's Acre Irish Pub in the Woodlands. She had us cracking up! I guess she really liked the music or something. :)

Kinley was trying to get her headband off while Taylor was her dancing decoy!


Oh, yeah, Friday night we went to Matt's game at home. They played Concordia and won by a landslide. Because they were so far ahead, Matt's coach told him he could dunk it...well on the way down the court he strained his hamstring and coach took him out the rest of the game. So, I only took one pic of him...

Here he is on the bench with his leg up

Since Matt wasn't playing, I had more attention to give to Kinley :)
