More birthdays!

Happy Birthday to my favorite Slatonite under 5'!!!
And Happy Birthday to my favorite Longhorn! (Man was that hard to type!)

I've figured out Katie's baby's name - BETH!

I know what Katie is naming her baby - BETH in honor of her beloved DOG! She said it was a traditional name, spelled in a traditional way. That can TOTALLY be BETH. I've figured it out!

Guinness turns 7!

Guinness - aka Guinney Girl, The Pig - is 7 today! She has such a hard life sleeping around the house all day, getting treats when she wakes up, and all. She is a heckuva snuggler, though. And she has a 6th sense of when you need to snuggle - like when I was on bed rest or when I am sick. She one thing that I am glad "came with Paul."

Jennifer Ann's shower in Austin

Mom and I went to Austin this weekend for Jennifer Ann's wedding shower. This was the bridesmaids' attempt at making her bridal gown out of toilet paper. Yikes!
















I contacted her friends and family to send me recipes to make her an heirloom cookbook. I had over 80 sheet protectors with recipes on either side - over 160 recipes! She was SO surprised!! Todd, her fiance, sent me pictures of them that I used on the section dividers. He's a good man and he loves her SO MUCH!
















After the shower, we went out on 4th street with our moms. It's kinda weird how much our moms have in common.














I am so excited about being a bridesmaid in Jenn & Todd's wedding. It's so heart-warming to see one of my best friends so happy and in love with Mr Right!

Happy birthday to the ORIGINAL Paul Codd!

Cheers, Sr!
I like to call Paul Sr the ORIGINAL PAUL CODD. Funny story if you don't know it. . . my husband Paul Codd, Jr, doesn't show a Jr. on any of his legal documents other than his birth certificate - not his SS card or his military ID. So when we went to get our marriage license, they wouldn't put the Jr. on it. So technically I am married to Paul Codd, not Paul Codd, Jr.

This is Ann, Paul's stepmom, Sr, Jr and Stacie. They came in from Detroit last year for the Tech game in Dallas.

HAPPY early BIRTHDAY, KT!

Oh wait, that's ME with Ryan Aycock! But you can still enjoy the view. wink wink

Happy HAPPY early birthday, Katie! I hope your boys spoil you this weekend and that you get lost of rest in anticipation of Miss Penny's arrival. Any day now folks, Katie's going to be the proud mama of a sponge-rollered, bow-wearing, AquaNet-using, pinked-out baby girl!!!

A cousin for Patrick

Chris & Stacie found out last week that they are having a BOY!!! We are all really excited for them. And it's just what Patrick needs - another little boy to raise hell with! Paul told me today Chris' name suggestion. . . Randy Travis Farr. Oh, that brother-in-law of mine. . . Stacie is due December 18, so she's got a ways to go.
