Our 19lb Turkey

This Thanksgiving we had dinner with Linda and Wayne. My contribution was a big fat cheesecake. It's hard to tell from the picture, but if you look close enough you just might see a little hand print. The cheesecake was in the refrigerator cooling, and apparently I didn't shut the door fast enough. I little tiny Milo hand swooped in for a taste. No one ever knew, until now. I was able to camouflage the hand print with a mixed berry topping.

I tried my hardest to get Milo to wear a turkey hat that I made him... He would have no part of it. So, I put it on him while he napped! All I wanted was a picture. Here it is, our 19 lb turkey.

Video of this past week

Here is a montage of just a few high lites of this past week. Milo seems to have a twisted sense of humor... wonder where he gets that from?

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was my 36th, and Milo's 14 month B-days. We celebrated with play dates, good food, and trashy TV. Yesterday morning we headed over to Alexander's house for a play date. This was the 1st time the boys got together outside of the LLL meetings. Yesterday evening Milo had a "play date" at Linda and Wayne's house while David treated me to a yummy birthday dinner at Carrabas. Milo was exhausted and in bed by 8, allowing me to watch uninterrupted trashy TV! The season finale of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the season opener of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

The birthday fun didn't end there. This morning Milo had another play date at his friend Brant's house. Beth made me a fabulous birthday lunch, as well as Milo. Chicken and shrimp gumbo for me, roasted chicken and veggies for the little man. Milo was a bit whiny, and didn't feel like being social. We cut the date short and headed home. We enjoyed the rest of our lunch at home. Milo tends to clap when he likes something, as you can see from the picture he LOVED his lunch, and me too! It was the best gumbo I've ever had.

I got a bunch of wonderful cards, but one very special card from a very special little man.

Sharing is caring

Monie and Milo sharing food and toys, just a few of the many things they share.

D'oh!

A couple of new acquisitions. You know you're a Mom when you get a mini-van, and an inflatable Christmas lawn ornament all in the same week. D'oh!

Wedding crashers

Our 1st wedding adventure as a family. Last weekend we took a day trip to San Antonio for our friends' wedding (Casey and Staci). Note to self, Milo prefers the reception over the ceremony! We saw very little of the ceremony. The reception was a blast. Milo was the 1st to hit the dance floor, and probably would've been the last to leave if we would've let him.

Check out the video... Milo scores at the reception!

Road Rash

My poor baby had his first bout of road rash. This morning he ate pavement while trying to ride up the driveway. He caught the lip of the driveway with his car and flipped forward. It didn't seem to phase him much. A couple hours later he was riding in the house, and crashed again. Adding more damage to the picture below. He's getting a little too adventurous. Time to surround him with stuffed animals, helmets, knee pads, bite guards, or maybe just a giant hamster bubble.

2008 BMW CCA drive and dine, Fredericksburg TX

This weekend we loaded up the wagon, and took a family fun road trip with the BMW car club. David and I went 2 years ago. This year Milo joined in the fun. The itinerary included a Halloween party Friday night, a hill side drive Saturday followed by dinner, Sunday another drive through the hills back to Houston... stopping outside of Austin to dine at the Oasis. The Oasis is this way cool restaurant over looking lake Travis. Unbelievable scenery, the food stunk, but the scenery was more than worth it!
