Fieldtrip!!!!!!!!!!!

This past Thursday Laura got to miss school, and I took a day off work so we could go see Walking with the Dinosaurs at the Toyota Center. If you haven't heard of this show, you should check out the website and even try to catch the 'making of' special that runs on Discovery Channel. Check out:

Walking with Dinosaurs was a BBC tv series where animated dinosaurs were created to look really real and the show would show them in their natural habitat and teach you about their lifestyles, food choices, enemies etc. Last year some people decided that they wanted to make this tv show a real life experience and make the dinosaurs lifesize. So, they spent a year making the dinos, and now the show is touring the states and we wanted to see it. The history part of the show was interesting, we got some laughs from the evolutionish theories that dinosaurs live on in the creature we know as the bird....but it was really fun when the dinosaurs fought!
Here's a few pictures from the show. I had so much fun and really enjoyed getting to spend time with Laura. I love that girl! So Laura, thanks for playing hooky and coming with me! And Linda, thanks for saying she could :)

On the way to our seats. We brought our moms along for the fun!
Memorial Hermann sponsors the Rockets, who play at the Toyota Center where the show was put on....so we had to take a proud picture with our Life Flight helicopter! Momma and baby T-Rex. You can see how big they are compared to the show's human narrator who is there on the arena floor.
Our best T-Rex faces, along with some baby T-Rex arms.

Ba-beeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash back to a few posts ago and you'll notice how much I LOVE being an aunt.
I am very proud and excited to announce I am now an aunt to two beautiful babies!! One is just not here yet. Gina has a baby growing and she's due around the beginning of October. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, here's the cute story about how they told me that she's pregnant.
It was a normal weekend and I went to the houseboat in Austin for some good old R&R, and to hang out with Greg and Gina...one of my favorite weekend activities. It was late when I got there, but when I arrived Gina told me that they had gotten me a present. I was totally excited, but confused because it's not my birthday or any other special day....but when someone gives you a present I say you always take it!
So I opened the box and it was this!

A cute little baby bathing suit!! It took me a few minutes to figure it out, because these are so NOT my size, but then I caught on! I was soo excited!!!!!!!!!!!! They're not sure if it's a boy or girl yet, but I think Greg picked the shorts out because he's hoping to have a little son to share all his dirt-biking, skiing, wakeboarding, manly hobbies with.
Stay tuned for exciting pregnancy posts....you know Gina is going to be one cute mama!!
Congrats G2!

Hopped up on Easter candy...

Here's what happens when Brad and I drive home from Victoria, after feasting on our sugar filled Easter baskets...it was funny at the time.

A Day with the Dogs

While dog-sitting this week I decided it would be fun to test out my new camera and take some action shots of our dogs. They love their yard and love modeling even more, so here are a few shots of the pups out in the yard.

Holly and Emma are BFF's


Peek a boo! Where's Holly?

So, I did something I haven't done since I was a senior in high school. I cut my hair short. By the time my stylist was done 6 inches of my hair were on the floor, and I'm still trying to figure out what I think about it. Time for your thoughts...leave comments.
