Aunts

We were lucky enough to have some visitors this past week. Two of Tyler's little sisters came down to visit the heat and their favorite niece. We spent the first three days at Sea World, Six Flags and Schlitterbahn. We relaxed all day Sunday, after church of course, and spent Monday in a cute little town called Boerne. Hopefully they didn't melt while visiting, we have had record breaking heat for the last week and a half. It's been so hot we have a weather advisory to stay indoors as much as possible.

For those of you that didn't know, Tyler's birthday was on Father's Day this year. We celebrated and ate lots of yummy cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory


I can't even begin to describe my love for Tyler. He is an amazing husband and an even better father. I can't picture my life without him, he brings Bella and I so much joy. He is always making us laugh, and continues to amaze me with his selflessness. I love how hard you work for this family Tyler.

XOXOXOXOXOXO love your two favorite girls

So apparently no one agrees with me, and you all think Bella looks most like me. Fine, fine. But I will say that my vote weighs more than all of your votes put together, so there! Maybe as she gets older I will begin to see what the rest of you see :)

Here are some pics of us from the last month or so.

Me and sleepy Bella



So proud she could walk in my tallest stilettos

Mmm, like a little kid in a candy store

So over the past week my office has been closed and I've been studying for days on end. I took a break one evening to go find a treat.
The closest stop that was convenient at midnight...The Corner Store! It has been a while since I've shopped the shelves of a corner store for a snack and was surprised to find that this store only carried King Size candy bars. Someone in sales was smart to go forward with this idea. You are left with one other choice. Go somewhere else.
Well I was already there and just like everyone else, I gave in and bought the bigger snack. Who am I kidding, I always buy the bigger snack. This was just a convenient justification! As a bonus I found two treats that I haven't had since Silver Tab Jeans rocked the shelves of ZCMI. I was like a kid again! Except now I could buy as much as I wanted. Please feel free to share your enthusiasm for my great find!

I guess there is a chance that this isn't really a "find" and these candies have always been available? I would love to see Bonkers and PB MAX make a come back.

Look-a-like Poll ---------------------------->

According to most people Bella looks the most like me. My own personal opinion is that she continues to look more and more like Tyler everyday, minus the hair that is resembling red more and more each day. So I leave it to a poll of friends and family to decide. I know I am tipping the scales in favor of Tyler by only posting one baby picture of me, but the one photo is all I've got. The rest are in Utah. Try not to laugh too hard at our baby pics, we were not as cute as Bella (and by that I mean me).
