She Lost a Front Tooth

How time fly's. How I love being her mommy. How I love seeing her grow.

What is your best shot Monday? Check out others at Tracey's.

Oh my, is that real?

Uh Hu, yep all those bodies are the real deal! It was amazing! Lissy's school was out on Friday for a professional development day so mommy had to be the stay-at-home-mommy. I really envy those mommy's that get to do that every single day. We started out the morning eating a nice breakfast of fresh fruit and then made our agenda...museum...park...library...paint nails. Lissy saw the ad in the SA newspaper about a month ago of the "Body Exhibit" at the Witte. Me, being a biologist, was super stoked that she wanted to go (her dad, being so conservative was apprehensive if we should let her see the exhibit). Come on dad, she is addicted to discovery health channel and swears that she either wants to be a doctor or on American Idol. Support me on some little parent pressure, please.

Last Friday was our day. She was very interested in each of the displays (could not wait to dial in the audio for each of the stations). Truly phenomenal. It was like a once in a lifetime shot at looking at all your innards. Wow! Oh yeah, but we did skip over the "boy part display" (passerbys got a kick out of that). Lissy still swears that she is allergic to boys, so I think she was okay with that :)

Wordless Wednesday

Rodeo Time

This may sound kinda lame to most Texans, but even though I have lived in Texas for 4 years, I still had never been to the Professional Rodeo Circuit that comes every year. Last night was a first. Our intention was to go to the concert of Miranda Lambert (because Lissy is learning to play the guitar and loves to watch young guitar stars), and we were surprised to find out that the "rodeo" takes place before the concert. It started out awesome, parade of US flags, acknowledgment that freedom is not free, and that we have our US soldiers defending freedom who deserve a salute. I liked that part but did not like the part that seemed to be a little too rough on the livestock. It was going through my mind how some of the events are not outlawed. I don't know, maybe that is the non-Texan in me. I don't even wanna tell my sister about it because she is a PETA fanatic.

Lissy is so ready for "COWGIRL" dress up at school this month (each Wednesday in February). She has always been a cowgirl of a sense, even in North Carolina, but now it is even better because she says now, she lives in San Antonio, TEXAS! Have fun sweetheart, with your boots, hat and leather fringed vest and skirt!

Ewwwwww

Daddy sure must love his Lissy! He plays tea parties, Hannah Montana Concert, and Make-Up with Lissy-Lou. She has such fun with Chad, but the pink boa, pink lipstick, and girlie hat and jewels have got to go!

Christmas Morning

At 7:00am Lissy was up and ready to see if Santa came to visit her. Considering I did not go to bed until 2am, it was really hard to get up and be "Holly-Jolly", but I did it. Remember she asked Santa for all of that Hannah Montana stuff? She was definitely on the "Good List" because he brought it to her. I have decided though that blonde is not her color. Mommy got a Lambie blanket that is as soft as the Alpaca's. I love it. We hope your holiday season and Christmas morning was just as blessed.

Yummo!

In New Mexico (my home state) traditional Mexican food on Christmas Eve is a must. Thank heaven that momma moved with us to San Antonio to continue the tradition of menudo, tamales, carnitas, homemade corn tortillas, fresh salsa, the works! If you want to have "real" mexican food, come join us...but not if you are watching your calories (unfortunately).
