Too early!

Lyric has been going to bed too early lately. I miss my late night girl! Though it is kind of nice to have the evening with just Jon and I.
Yesterday she went to bed at 8:30 and tonight a little before 9.
You can ask her if she wants to go to bed, and normally, if she is tired she'll nod her head yes.
She has really learned the meaning of the word "No" and she uses it all the time now! It's seriously adorable! I mean, she seems too little to start using words, but she does. I know that she really knows what she is saying too, because if she wants something, she'll answer yes (or nod her head at least).
Here is a video of it per Mabrie's request :)


I watched Enchanted tonight. It's a cute movie, not my favorite, but cute.
But the real goodness was American Idol. I was quite sad when Kristy got voted off. She actually has a great voice, and she loves horses... I love horses too... and country music! We are like the same person! I honestly would have rather Brooke left than Kristy, because Brooke has sucked it up the last few weeks. Anyways, I'll miss my little bit of country on AI, however, she'll do great, just like Kelley Pickler (also wasn't in the finals of AI), who has gone on to country fame and rocked it out at the CMT Awards a few nights ago. So ya...

While watching Enchanted/American Idol, I should have been tackling this:

Laundry, shmaundry. I just am NOT in the mood! I did cook some yumpty chicken spaghetti though! I have so much left over. I'll probably take it down to Courtney's as it will not get eaten in this house. We don't do so well in the leftover department. We need a bigger family to make that work better. More kids! (hint-hint)

This week has passed really quickly. That is soooo nice! Still no word on me going part-time... I really hope I hear something soon. I'm getting a little tired of feeling like I'm in limbo.

Well, that is basically all I've got tonight. I need to get in bed. I'm reading a good book by Terry Brooks.

Lastly I just want to send a special shout out to the Shulls. I love you guys and will always be here for you. True friends are forever friends.

Fun with Friends

I know I'm a few days late, but Saturday night we went out to Buca de Beppo in Southlake for Aaron Smith's birthday. Good times had by all! I love the food there and it's fun because each dish is made to share with at least 2-3 people, so everyone gets a variety of things and the whole table just passes it around. Even the salads are made to share. YUM! My mouth is watering just thinking about it... oh and my Italian Margarita! :)

Here are some pics of the night:













Aaron's brother and his girlfriend


And the birthday boy!




The group (minus me of course)


Dad stirring his tea... I told you everything was larger at Buca's


Mom and Judah


He was disturbed by the guy at the table next to us... he was LOUD talker!



Random pics:
Here is Korbin after Church on Sunday. Someone stuck his nursery sticker on his head, and it didn't bother him in the least bit!


Here is an old pic that I just rediscovered as I was trying to finish Scrapbooking Lyric's 1st year book in time for her fabulous Elmo birthday party!
This was when we were in Paris at the Louvre. She was deciding where to go next! :)


So ya, last night we had a girls night... it used to be a small group connected with the Church, but then the requirements to be a sanctioned small group got too stringent and to be too much for our fearless leaders to keep up with, so we decided to just have random nights out. We went to Pappasito's last night, but I forgot to take pictures... oh well!

I had the worst cramps I've had in a very long time yesterday and left work an hour early because they were getting worse and I couldn't concentrate. I was soooo stinking tired and achey and in pain. Plus yesterday was such a crappy weather day I think it made it worse.

Lyric is doing better since that tooth is finally starting to poke through... Baby Orajel actually works for her... so kudos to them!
I'm trying to get her newest tricks on video. First, if you ask her any question, she nods her head yes. It's really funny. Then you ask her what a lion says and she growls! So cute!!

Well, I think that's all I got. I'm hungry, so I want to go and get food. Plus I have some errands to run.

That's all folks!

Pictures From Shabbat!

We had a fantastic night at Shabbat this past Friday. It was Tiffani's birthday and so we all got together and celebrated! Lot's of fun! It took me forever to get these uploaded because Brad (who took almost all these pictures-- click HERE for his site) put up a blog and because I already saw most of these, I just mentally checked it off like I had already posted a blog about it.
So anyways, the night was so gorgeous, we spend the first part of the evening outside letting all the kids play.

Lyric and Tiff checking things out


Korbin flying

Korbin was the mac daddy that night. Here he is hitting on Lyric


Then Kadyn


But he doesn't really like younger women


But he loves him some Kadyn!


But how could he choose Kadyn over this gorgeous girl!


Racing with the girls


We always end up having a jam session of some sort

Saturday night we went out for Aaron's birthday, so I'll post pictures of those once I get home.

Much love!

Sophie Aviel Shull is here!!!

Abby had her baby this morning!
She was scheduled to be induced this morning at 7am, but when Abby woke up to get ready, she realized she was in labor!
She got to the hospital and they checked her and sure enough, she was in labor. She was at a 4 and 70% efaced.
Well within a few hours she was complete and little Sophie made her arrival at 12:10pm.... and the craziest part... ABBY DID IT ALL WITHOUT AN EPIDURAL!!!! GO ABBY! Mom and Sophie are doing fabulous!

For the time being, they are requesting no visitors because the flu season is so bad right now.

I am going to be doing meals, so if you would like to cover one day that would be great.
