5 years.

Well 5 years and 6 days to be exact.  Our five year anniversary was last Saturday.  It has gone by quick.  Which is good, right?  My darling Jerbear and I ditched the little men with Aunt Tiffy and went out... by ourselves.  It was weird.  We never go anywhere just the two of us.  If we do manage to con a family member into watching them, it is always because we have plans with friends, never just the two of us.  It was nice, and weird... but mostly nice.  We went to our favorite hamburger spot, Square Burger, muy delicioso.  If you are in the McKinney area you should check them out- their sweet potato fries are aaahmazing!  Then somehow, some way, my husband talked me into taking him to a rodeo, a hour away.  Which turned into a hour and a half, because MR. navigator got us lost.  Once we finally got there, and I complained about the heat, 98 degrees at 9pm, for 15 minutes, I actually had a good time.  I am now a fan.  Can't wait to take the little men to one, they are gonna love it.

 

 

Oh and I was almost able to cross off No. 30 on my list, but I was wearing a dress and the county the rodeo was in, was dry, it wouldn't have been pretty.

My favorite picture from our wedding... it hangs on the wall in our family room.  It explains so much.  Happy Anniversary Jer, and here is to another easy five spot.

No. 13

A field trip to the Dallas Childrens Science Museum... check.

Sue and Maya, Lee's sister and niece were visiting from Israel last week.  While Lee was working, the little men and I decided to go on a field trip with Sue and Maya.  So off we went, to the Science Museum.  We had tons of fun.  I wish we could have spent more time wandering around and playing, but the boys have their limit, and when they are done- it is time to go... immediately.

We did have the chance to see some of these... and boy were the little men excited.

We did a little digging for bones...

My favorite area is the science area.  We blew bubbles and made ping pong balls float in the air...

I can officially cross of No. 13 on the list.  One down, twenty-nine to go.

Turning 2...

I have lots of posts coming up, with updates to my list, pictures and lots more.  I have been spending a lot of time lately getting ready for this though...

With true typical Teddi fashion I am sure that I am going a bit overboard on the party, I mean we are even going to veer away from the cupcakes this year and do something a bit different.  I figure I'll only have so many years before they start dictating how they want their birthday party to go down, so I will just live it up until then.
