Me and my sweet hubby in Vegas for Nascar!!

The whole gang at the Hogle Zoo this weekend!

Ok, you might have guessed that this isn't Anna.....this is Angie. Oh the joy of sweet talking passwords out of people!! For Anna's blogging friends that don't know me, I am Anna's favorite step mom in law....ok...her ONLY step mom in law...but who's keeping track?? I wanted to do something special for Anna to let her know how much I love and appreciate her. So please leave a shout out and comment and let's all wish her a Happy BD! I have known Anna for 4 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Anna is one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I have never met anyone with more talent and creativity than her. I love that she loves to build and create projects. I have definitely benefited from her talents! (wink wink) She does such a wonderful job and I usually am standing in amazement looking at all her creations. I'm so envious of her ability to sew and paint. I wish I could have just a hint of all her talents!!

Here is Anna a couple of days before her big day. We were fortunate to be able to spend this last weekend with her and her family.

I love this picture of her and her boys. Chefin's homecoming Feb 09

Christmas Party 2008

Anna, you have become such a best friend and a sweet DIL to me over the last four years. I treasure our friendship and value our time that we do get to spend together. I wished we lived closer so that I could spend more time with you. I have truly enjoyed getting to know you more and the more I learn, the more I love about you. You are an amazing person and I am so LUCKY to have you in my life. I LOVE that I can call for no reason at all and we can sit on the phone and chit chat about nothing. I LOVE that you patiently listen to my drama and put me in my place. I LOVE that you love me enough to make things for me! What in the world would I ever do without you? What did I do before I knew you is the question??? Thank you so much for being a part of my world. I don't know what I would ever do without you! I love you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Love, Angie

Big boy bed

Coen started climbing out of his crib last week.  After about 3 days of dealing with that I decided I'd just take the crib down and let him use the toddler bed.  We did that last Friday night and he went to bed and never got out.  I think climbing out of the crib was just plain fun.  So he did it because he could.  Now that it's not as fun to climb out of bed, he doesn't have an issue.  He goes down for naps and night night very well considering.  I was planning on leaving him in his crib till he was 3 years old.  I guess he had another idea.  

Nascar Day

Since Cody's lube shop is a Mobil 1 oil distributor - which is the official motor oil for Nascar- He got to host the official Mobil 1 Nascar for a day. This isn't OUR guy, but it was still fun.  Everyone even got to sit in it.  The boys thought it was pretty cool.  They had a simulator there as well.  I didn't try it out, but I saw each of the employees and Cody and stragglers try it out. I think Asa may have even tried it out.  They were hoping for a big day down there.  We had Texas Roadhouse bring food and even had Kbull 93 down there for a bit. It wasn't as busy as they'd hoped, but it's okay.  It was still fun. I don't think you can tell in the picture, but our boys are sporting what I refer to as "the team colors" which really means they are wearing Checker flag shirts.
