My Funny Little Guy!

This is how Dresden liked to walk around today! He discovered he had pockets in the back of his pants and thought it was so fun to use these pockets. He looked like a penguin walking around like this - so funny! Tomorrow Chad and I celebrate our 5th Wedding anniversary, yeah! Then on Saturday I leave for a girls trip to NYC! I'll post pictures when I get back!
 

My Husband, the Sports Genius!

Every year Chad enters his company's Football Suicide Pool where every week he picks a football team who he thinks will win(he claims it's all stategic)- if they win he stays in the game, if they lose he's out. You put in money to enter the game and in 5 years we've never gotten anything out of it. So, this year I gave Chad a hard time when he entered by telling him it was a waste of money. His reply was "If I win, we're going to Disneyland". Well, being the sports genius that he is, he totally WON! By chance he won it by picking his favorite team, the Denver Bronco's. We knew he would win if the Bronco's won because the other people left in the game had all chosen losing teams. I have NEVER been so in to a football game - the Bronco's were down the entire game and pulled ahead in the 4th quarter! We were jumping up and down when they won and Chad told Dresden "We're going to Disneyland!"
We talked about other things we could do with the money (pay bills, etc.), but nope - we are Going to Disney World!! We booked our tickets and will be going Feb. 12-16, the picture above is the Disney Animal Kingdom Resort where we will be staying! We are so excited and I can now ease up a little on Chad's obsession with Football! 

Some days I really like living in Texas - there have been more than a couple of moments this week when I thought, Ya know, I really like it here! I think mainly because the weather has been so nice - it's been mid 70's all week, which is perfect! Dresden and I have been taking walks every day to the park and around town. I also really love living in the city - it's fun to walk down to the grocery store or take a trolley ride just for fun with Dre.
Just wanted to record these thoughts so when I have my days that I don't like living away from home I can remeber the perks too!

Dresden & Savannah

These two crack me up! Savannah was Dresden's first friend when we moved to Texax, Dre was 4 month old and Savannah 6 months! They play well together, Dresden usually acts like he's too cool and Savannah tries to dominate and boss him around (typical guy/girl behavior)! It's been fun watching them change and grow together. 

TRICK-OR-TREAT!

Dresden had a blast this year on Halloween! Some friends invited us to Trick-or-Treat with them and we had so much fun! You may not be able to tell what Dresden is dressed up as because he REFUSED to wear the hood, but he was a little kangaroo! He loved jumping around and the cutest is when you asked him what he was and he'd say, "kang ROO"! 

PUMPKIN PATCH!

During the day on Halloween some friends and I took the kids to a pumpkin patch about 25 miles north of Dallas. Even though it was only a short drive, we got there and suddenly the temperature had dropped and it was Freezing! Okay, so really it was only in the mid 50's, but the fact that we weren't dressed for it made it seem so much colder! We didn't stay long, but Dresden enjoyed every minute! There was a petting farm, pony rides, bounce house (perfect for the kangaroo) and other rides. A fun time, but next time we will be more prepared!
