High Speed Heaven!

I'm in absolute love! I just downloaded all of these pictures in 2 minutes! Who knew? Certainly not these Joneses. We entered the 21st century and have ourselves some high speed internet. Who knew that all of the pictures on your blogs weren't really blurry? Heaven. Moving on. What's that behind Evan you say? That's right folks. A beluga whale. Evan and I took a quick trip to San Antone and made it over to Sea World with my fam. My brother's cute girlfriend Valerie works with the animals there and took us all behind the scenes. So here's me (Mrs. Salt water and everything in it scares me) petting the whale. Do you call it petting? Thanks a ton Valerie!

And now for some Colton mania. My mom's only called daily asking for some picture updates. Here's Colt riding the merry-go-round at the zoo with his Poppa.

Below, he's having some Saturday fun with his Dad. Bless our little backyard. The grass is trying so hard to grow. We also snagged a little tryke (no idea how to spell that) at a garage sale and Colton is in love. Madly in love. And I'll admit that I'm vain. There were a few other cute pictures of this but I didn't want the whole world wide web seeing my dirty house. :) On a non-Colton note, is anyone else able to contain their excitement for Harry Potter 7 making its debut on Saturday? My husband thinks I'm nuts. So what if I want a wand and want to be BFF with Harry and company at Hogwarts?

A Few Shout Outs

Sad as it is, here's my glorious picture of my first garden produced strawberry! Now mind you, if I was a talented photographer (aka, Cristy...if you want some true talent, you need to check out her blog) this would be a beautiful, well-lit, well-documented picture but we'll have to settle for this blurry one. Who knew I could grow anything? I've had 2 tomato plants bite the dust and my thumb is not even remotely green. So let's celebrate my tiny baby of a strawberry.

Another well deserved shout out goes to Evan for an awesome birthday. A yummy Italian dinner and a surprise manicure and pedicure. He did awesome and made me feel like a birthday queen. I love you babe!

And last but definitely not least - a shout out to Chanel and Kristen for turning another "mother" birthday into a special day. Kids don't seem to care that it's your day. There's still diapers to change, mouths (in my case, one mouth) to feed, etc. Chanel showed up on my doorstep with breakfast (can you believe breakfast??) and then hosted a lunch with Kristen (who made a to-die-for cake). Nothing like some good ol' fashioned girl talk.

PS - for the devoted grandparents and aunts out there, some pictures of Colton to follow as soon as I get my hands on some high speed. I can't imagine that you'd rather see pics of Colt as opposed to this gorgeous strawberry. :)
