We love Emily and Molly Jane

Thursday was a fun day! Our friends from Dallas were returning home from a Houston overnight and stopped by for lunch. It was so great to visit and try to cram a whole year into two hours. I had the best time. We sure do miss you! These pictures are so funny, they kept taking them with the umbrella????? It's sad when the kids are growing so fast and we are missing out. Molly is amazing. Braelyn toted her around on her hip the entire time even though Molly is a big girl now. :) We loved it.

What's Your Favorite???

I am taking a poll of my blog-land readers to find the most popular scent from Bath & Body. I think your opinion  counts as the general consensus, don't you agree! 

I am putting together a Valentine's Day basket for MandysWallCandy  and I want to put some goodies in it from B&B but I am not sure what's hot! Please comment and leave your fave. 

Mine is Coconut Lime Verbana

F.Y.I.~ MWC is coming out with V-Day gifts. Be thinking about a personalized gift for your loved ones.

Our Car: More than a Funky Smell

Some people, who will remain nameless ;), tell me often that our car smells. Here's something extra special about the car. It is WAY more than a funky smell. Check this out:

Amazing! You know, it made this noise about two years ago then it stopped and today it started back up again. It seriously sounds like someone (or something) is hitting the back panel in the back row. Kinda creepy. If I remember correctly it first did it to Shannon when she was driving. Today it made me laugh. Should I be laughing? What else can you do. 

Look Who Came and Look Who's Happy

Recycle Much? 

Uh Huh!

Loathing Houston

I am very  happy in Houston with the exception of 2 things. I absolutely hate 

1) the humidity (it kills my hair. For a reference picture see the 'Aquarium' post below) and

2) they do not come to pick up garbage or recycling on or after a holiday. There is no make up day! 

I have two garbage days each week so that's not a big deal. Recycling however comes every Thursday and for the past two Thursday's it has been Christmas and New Years. And with Christmas we had enough recycling PLUS Shannon and Jared left town so they brought over their recycling too. It is driving my absolutely crazy in our garage! Can someone throw me a bone please? I am getting ready to load it all in my car and drive it to HEB and sort it out and recycle it myself. I have one more week to wait if I am waiting for the city. Help me! I am drowning, literally. 

So, the scooter is just resting on all the mess and the lawn mower lives there but the boxes and all three totes are full of recylclables. And I love how the garbage is exploding out the top of the can. Lovely.

Building Bears

For Christmas the girls were given gift cards to "Build A Bear". We decided to take them to the Galleria Mall to use their gift cards yesterday. I am not sure if we chose the best day to go because all of Houston was at the mall on New Years Day! This mall was amazing, the largest mall I have ever been to! It has four floors (the top floor had all businesses) and had pretty fancy stores! I was blown away! The girls had fun using their gift cards. I was glad Mr. Numbers went with us to help the girls buy their bears and the outfits to go with. Thanks Blake! 

Mad Search

On New Year's Eve Cali and I went on a mad hunt for some CHOCOLATE COVERED CINNAMON BEARS. Can I tell you that Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, gas stations and Wal Mart do not carry them? Please help us out... does anyone know where you can buy them?
