Brian here... Michelle wasn't as eager to share this story so here I am. Michelle and I were fortunate to have been invited to an exclusive event over the weekend. I don't normally get that excited when an Evite shows up via email, but this was no ordinary party invitation. We had been invited to Sam and Andrea's 1st Annual "Mustache Bash!" I was pumped (shocker)... and immediately started thinking back to the late 90's at TCU when I was always begging this good looking Tri Delt to be my date for our next rediculous theme party. Who can forget Monochromatic '97, or the great Foam Party of '98. Anyway, as you can see from the photo above with me, Rodriguez, Morgan, and Woolford... good times were had by all. Because I spent time with my boss and my bosses boss a few days prior, I was unable to represent with something as authentic as Sam's 3 month hairyness. However, I am honored to have taken home the "Most Aggressive" Mustache award for my themed outfit.

So like many aspects of life, some things never change... I still love a good theme party and continue to beg the good looking Tri Delt to be my date.

Fight Song

Kendal LOVES this TCU football, it says Go Frogs and plays the fight song.

Here is her "dancing" to the fight song (even though it looks more like she's praying to Jesus).

Jeep Ride

We took the Jeep to Royce's party over the weekend and I have to tell you it was the quietest Kendal has ever been in the car (besides those rare times when she sleeps), maybe I found the solution.

Kendal making her goofy face.

Kendal

Just goin' for a ride.

You want me to get rid of my diapers?

Isn't she going to be the best big sister?!

Eating, a rare occasion.

The frog boots were worn all day and the baby went along for the zebra ride.

A Week in Pictures

Today started off by chasing Kendal around the house with both of us carrying footballs saying, "down, set, hike." Thank goodness we had Jumping Bean class to exert her energy, which was a huge hit, and then we met our friends at the park.

Feeding the ducks.

Twinkles and Daddy (she of course picked out her shoes). Daddy took Kendal to get a "new computer" (since the old one didn't do anything but the alphabet) when she got it she said, "Kendal's computer...just like daddy's."

Not one but two horses.

She looks so grown up here to me.

Kendal has the crazies.

Michele and sweet Reagan.

Check out Kendal's face.

Scale

Today I had to go to the Doctor's office for a check-up. After they called me back the dreaded scale is there just waiting to be approached...so, I put my purse down and Kendal says, "take off your shoes." Honestly I have no idea where she got that but it was hilarious!!!!!

Pics from the last few days

Notice the frog rain boots in the background.

Time for a tea party.

Kendal and Claire having coffee.

Down, Set, Hike

Unfortunately what we didn't capture was the touchdown move and her announcement of touchdown but believe it or not it is better than what you see here (the papparazi were also there to capture the moment). Her Uncles will be so proud!

We're back!

Back in the US but not voluntarily. Here are a few pics from our recent trip but you'll have to look at the pics backwards as I added them the wrong way, oops - sorry.

After 15 hours of travel a very tired mommy and two-year-old stroll our way to our luggage.

Had to take a picture of daddy's doughnut, this was his second at the airport in Milan.

Hold the photos please.

We stopped at a random town in Italy. It happened to have a beautiful castle and a carnival with live bands and Halloween like costumes.

Ms. Thing (and her horsey).

This is Lucerne, Switzerland. Can't you just picture what is was like hundreds of years ago?!

A beautiful ski town in Garmish, Germany. I think we were the only non-skiers/snowboarders there.

Kendal riding the train to the castle in Salzburg, Austria.

At the castle in Salzburg, Austria where Kendal says "the pretty princess lives".

The view from the top of the castle in Salzburg.

Our hotel (and car) in Innsbruck, Austria.

We woke up to snow!!!!

The movie star takes a brief pause for pictures.

The streets of Innsbruck.

Snow piled up on the roofs in Sils, Switzerland. We didn't go skiing, ice skating, take a sled ride on a horse drawn carriage but we still had a wonderful time.

Our lunch stop on Lake Como.

We're off

Twinkles is ready to see all the princesses castles in Europe, ciao!
