A Day at the Arboretum

We spent the afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum, followed by dinner at Red Robbin. It was a fun day, and I didn't want to overload my blog with the photos... so you can view them at our family website here (be sure to click on the "Play Slideshow" link for best results):

At dinner, we introduced Katie to what is known in our household as "crack-a-roni and cheese." I swear, there's something illegal they add to the mac 'n cheese at Red Robbin that makes our kids gobble it down!

Fall Festival

Here's a photo from the Church Fall Festival last night. Angie's a "Candy Robot," Katie is wearing a poodleskirt, and as for me...well, that's just how I normally look.

Now and Then...and Way Back When

September 29, 2001

Wow, I can't believe it's been six years since our wedding day. So, now we're even - we've now been married for as long as we dated before we got hitched. That's right - we've been a couple for twelve years. Just the other day, I was flipping through an old photo album, and I realized just how young we were when we met. Houston looked like a little kid, and I looked like I should still be eating off the kid's menu (that one's for you, Joey).

Here's a photo that was taken about 2 weeks after we met. This was a dance at the Doubletree in downtown Tulsa where, 6 years later, we would host our wedding reception!

Happy First Birthday Sixth Anniversary Extravaganza!

This past Saturday we celebrated Katie's first birthday....which also happens to be our anniversary as well! We usually spend our wedding anniversary at Chuck E. Cheese, but for Katie's sake we switched things up a bit and headed over to Macaroni Grill instead. Katie was completely fascinated by the crayons and the fact that we were actually encouraging her to color on the table, and she wiggled around in her high chair so much that by the end of the meal she was on the other side of the table! 

The highlight of the evening was when the waiter sung Happy Birthday in Italian - both kids were enthralled! Angela was more than willing to blow out Katie's candle, and I was more than willing to taste the cake!
