Father's Day

For Father's Day we wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse...after getting out late from a great church service....the wait was waaayy too long. We decided to go to Todd's other favorite place, Wings 'N More! It was a great relaxed lunch and we even went to go get Coldstone afterward.

Todd is an amazing father to Cambria. She loves being able to be rough and crazy with him. He's always willing to play and wrestle with her. He takes her on long bike rides where they sing songs together. He loves this little girl so much. She is so lucky to have Todd as her daddy!

This last picture is of Cambria at my in laws hotel last night. They had to stay over a night in Houston because they missed their flight due to mechanical difficulties on the first plane. We drove over to their hotel and saw them for a few hours. In this picture, Doug was making the hot tub turn of and on (with a switch). Gigi would tell Cambria to say "go bubbles" and then Doug would hit the switch. Cambria thought she was magic! She loved it!

Our SIXTH Anniversary

Yesterday, was our sixth anniversary! We are so blessed to be celebrating this wonderful event with our child. We started off by going downtown to the original Pappasitos. We LOVE that place so why not go to it on our anniversary? We both had Sangria Margaritas with our dinner and Cambria felt that she needed a drink to toast, too. So our sweet waiter went and got her a virgin daiquiri. He also brought a kids cup to put it in but she wanted it just the way he gave it to her. Then, we headed to Minute Maid Park to watch the Astros play the Rangers. We decided to go a little early and I'm glad we did. We got to park for $1! Last night also happened to be Texas Tech Night so we got great seats and proceeds went to the Alumni Association. Cambria had SO much fun at the game. At the Astros game, they have a train that blows it's whistle at the beginning and end of each game as well as for home runs. Cambria loved this and kept saying "train, woo woo" with the hand motion. At one point she says the same line, and adds "bye train, I love you!" We had some sweet people behind us two rows back who just loved Cambria and all the smiles, waves and "Hi's" she kept giving them. They even shared their food with her! They sent down a whole tray of popcorn for her. Another memorable part was during the seventh inning stretch when they play the songs. Cambria and her dancing got us all on the jumbotron BOTH times! Those sweet people behind us were so ecstatic for Cambria and her debut!! Finally, on Fridays they retract the ceiling and have a fireworks show. It was awesome! The ceiling retracts very fast, 10 min or so it seemed. Cambria was crying and scared at first but then decided it was very cool. She then started shrieking and clapping saying "did you see that daddy?" She clapped when it was over but was disappointed, asking "all done?" All in all it was a memorable anniversary and Todd couldn't have made better choices! It was a great night. We want to go back!

The Train!

The cake I made us....lemon with raspberry mousse...sooo good!

San Antonio!

This past week Valerie and my mom came to visit us in Kingwood for a few days. We had a lot of fun shopping and eating at the local Kingwood places. On Sunday, Cambria and I rode back to San Antonio with them. We got to spend even more time with Valerie, our families and some wonderful friends. Here are a few pictures of the time we spent together. I'm really sad I didn't get any of Valerie and Cambria!!!! However, it was great to be able to see Valerie before she heads back to Oklahoma City.

Model in Training

Aunt Valerie loves high heels! So, Cambria spotted this pair right away and put them on. She was a natural. We thought she might trip and/or fall but she did so amazing you would've thought that she did this everyday! I guess she's perfecting her model walk.

Summer Begins!

Summer is here!!! We are so excited to be spending all this time together and then at the end, Todd and I still get to work together! For the first week of June, Todd and I still had to work. So, Cambria's grandparents on both sides excitedly wanted to watch her! My parents took the first part of the week and Todd's took the second part. She was extremely loved and spoiled. She had so much fun and came back very happy with new phrases she'd learned. Not to mention new PJs and clothing.

The picture below cracks me up! It's Cambria trying to show me her straw wrapper right as I took the picture. It is a common Cambria thing to want to show you something up close!

Below are some pictures of Nordstroms. Our waiter was awesome. He brought Cambria raisins instead of bread without asking. She made sure there were no more raisins left in the container. She also was waving and saying "hi" to some of the other customers. She had a blast!

I had Cambria's hair cut into a bob so that it will grow grow grow! We were taking pictures of it and she grabbed my mom's little stuffed Donkey that she loves and my mom's phone. She wanted to take pictures of me. She kept holding it up and saying "cheese" and then would look at the phone and say "awww cute!"

Her hair cut before. The lady in Boerne did such a great job. The lady in Kingwood did not. I guess we will be getting it cut when we go home, now! It's so hard to know when to cut it when you want it to grow but I think they did a very good job!
