Sesame Street Live 2008 - "Elmo Grows Up"

We went Sesame Street Live for the second year in a row and were not disappointed! This year we had GREAT seats, about 10 rows back from the stage on the floor level. The kids really enjoyed it - especially Joe. Joe was mesmerized by all the lights and all the characters. He kept pointing and exclaiming "ooohhhh, ooohhhh". I was pregnant with Joe when we went last year, so technically he's been twice. :)

The Hulk

Brent is a huge HULK fan since childhood so we buy the boys anything "HULK" related. This is Jack's new HULK shirt and in the photos below he is pretending to do a HULK "grrrrrrrrr". Actually, I asked him to smile and instead I got a "grrrrrrrr". :)

"Here's the scoop I Love You!"

When I picked Jack up at school today he had on this cute hat he made. In case you cannot read it, it says "Here's the scoop I love you!". He wore it all the way home in the car without trying to take it off. It even fell over his eyes at one point while he was trying to look at a book in the car and he just kept moving his book and his eyes around so he could see - he never took it off. So cute!

Joe The Artist

Joe is already drawing and seems to favor his right hand. Pretty amazing huh?

Mommy & Daddy's 5th Wedding Anniversary

Brent and I celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary on Friday (February 15th) by going to dinner at the French Room in the Adolphus Hotel then we stayed the night in a suite at the Magnolia Hotel (thanks to a generous XMAS gift from Brandon and Omar!). We had a great time despite the freezing and rainy weather (and oh yeah, the Cheerleading Nationals going on in Dallas with millions of cheerleaders everywhere!). We got room service breakfast on Sat. and then saw a matinee movie which I am embarrassed to say, was probably my favorite part. :) The Magnolia Hotel lobby (this whole building has been beautifully restored - it's the old Mobile Gas Building)

Jack Dancing and Joe Causing Trouble

Jack got a boombox from Grammy for his 3rd Bday and he LOVES it! He does his version of dancing here in this video and then lil' bro Joe comes a long and wreaks havoc. Then you will see Jack sign "music" to Daddy so he will turn it back on.

I Caught A Smile! And A Beautiful One It Is!
