daddy won the gold!!!!

I know, I know.......I always take forever to post something. I feel like I have blog moments but they dont always translate into a typing moment for me. This last week was a blurr. Ed has been in a START workshop for his MBA program which concluded last night at Joe T Garcias for dinner and awards. I want to do a pix but as usual that will have to wait for another day. They split into groups for a final project that was "graded" by the 2nd year students. So Ed's group did a car/ vanpool concept. I was like.....(you know me) how boring!!! Do something cool. lol Another group did a morbid idea that was still very interesting. Their idea was an alternative to cremation. Anyway, as morbid as it was it was still very interesting. So the did a medal ceremony and gave out gold, silver and bronze. So when Ed's group didnt win bronze or silver I was like....oh well, Ed's group is out. Waaaaaaayyyyyyy to boring of an idea to win. So they announced the winner and they started to describe the benefits of the winning team project and it sounded a lot like what Ed had done. I was like...NO WAY!!!!! And of course it was so Ed has his first gold medal in grad school. We are so proud of daddy. Several people came up to Ed and said that he was the glue that won that whole deal. Yeah my head is swelling again. I not only married a hunky guy, he's a stinkin genius!!!

Also this week we got to meet our newest Guidry in the family. Esther Kenna, she is beautiful. Adorable and tiny. Uncle Bill and aunt Mandy are so cute!! We didnt get to spend much time with them but the time we did see them was fun.

Zach is starting to wave at people and is just growing like crazy. The blessing of him growing so fast is that Zach and Ethan may be in the same size clothing by the end of summer. Unless Ethan hits a growth spurt and Zach slows down. Ethan is growing like a normal kiddo its Zach that must be getting into the miracle grow. He hasnt nursed in over 2 months so its not my fault anymore.

Lexie is such a sweetie!!! She is a big time momma's girl. She's prissy at times and rough and tumble with her brothers too. She's the total package. LOL

And Ethan, he is such a good kid. He amazes me with things that I didnt even know that he knew. He has an amazing memory. Its creepy at times when he talks freely about things that I think he should be too young to remember. He remembers everything. He is currently into trains and tonka type work trucks. Our neighbor gave us one of those plastic lil tikes car beds for Ethan. We dont need it really but I had the idea to make a sand box out of it. So that will be our next project. We need something to play with all of our work trucks in. They really need to haul the muck as he would say.

Anyway, I'll try to be better soon. Pray for us please as this new journey should be interesting.

4 nights in a row!!!!

Zach has been sleeping thru the night now for exactly 4 days!!!! I could do the minutes too but that truely seems over the top. lol He is doing so good, I almost hate to say it outloud. He has always been a good sleeper just not all the way thru the night. I could always get him back to sleep quickly when he did wake. Such a good boy!!!! The first morning I woke at 6:30 am I jumped up and smacked Ed on the arm and said....."its 6 fricken 30 and this is the first time I have been awake since last night!" I was so excited!!! Poor Ed.

So also in our little world here in TX(aka Africa). Ed started the "welcome to our MBA program" last wednesday and all went well. He is still liking being a bum(not working) and going to school. I tried to get him a Big Cheif tablet but he said he would be fine with locker magnets instead. lol He has a good group to work with for the first semester, one guy just got here from Saudi Arabia and in his intro he assured everyone that he wasnt a terrorist. Gotta love that he has a sense of humor. I'm still not as tense as I should be about this whole quit a good job and go to school deal. Im sure its coming though. lol We are trying to prepare some things, we have already done Christmas shopping for each other and gotten gift cards for family so as to not have to buy them later. We need to do a bit more of course but it is nice to think some is done!!!

We are still trying to decide what to do about Ethan and school this year vrs. preschool. The Keller preK program which by the way is a very mature way to say it for me lately is not an option afterall. Although I still think we should write the super here and let them know whats up. Ethan barely turned 5 right before the cutoff. So they are saying that they dont take 5 year olds. We arent ready for a full day full week school for him so prek was going to be a great deal, or so we thought. This rule of no 5 year olds was not on the internet qualifications so we have been pumping Ethan up for awhile that he is going to the school across the street but I guess the idiots here cant get their crap together enough to actually put ALL the qualifications on the internet. Be a shame for someone to actually do their job, I know. YES, I am still bitter. LOL This whole deal has really been crazy. Prek here is so expensive. Should be interesting, thats what I say now when i really want to curse loudly!!!!! lol Ok rant over!!

Lexie is at a funny stage now where she says the funniest things. She's always making us laugh. She loves taking care of baby zat, as she calls him. Anyhow, we went to the Wiggly Play Center last week and had a blast, I havent downloaded the pix yet but I will and get them up soon. I hope.

Well, here's to another week here in africa. And by the way, when school starts here I get Amy for some blog cuting up!! I am such a dink on the puter that I havent cuted this place up much. After visiting others blogs I seriously need some cuting!!!!

Date night!!

I had been waiting to post this because I wanted to get some Uno's clip art and attach it . But that is not going to happen. lol I just cant seem to get it together enough to do that. Anyhow, Ed and I worked at Uno's Pizzeria when we first got married. It was a way fun job and the food of course was fabuloso!! So last Saturday night we had a fabulous date night and we went to downtown Ft Worth. It was awesome, there were really neat street performers and the live music was awesome. It was hot but not too hot to walk around for awhile. It really is a beautiful city in the downtown area that is. So for dinner we went to Uno's and had pizza skins and spinocoli pizza and their yummy house salad with the red wine vinaigrette dressing. It was soooooo good!! It brought back so many memories and we had a great time seeing and smelling our past. We worked in the Tulsa store but there were alot of the same signs at bar and the tile floor. It was just so fun. Then we went to see Batman. Ohmygomy!!! That movie was frickin intense!! Really good though. Christain Bale is almost as hunky as my Ed, but not quite!! And the joker was about the scariest and funniest bad guy ever. Heath Ledger really did a fabulous job. Do you wanna see a magic trick?? lol I about jumped outa the chair when he did that!! Anyway, we got home really late and the next day was fast Sunday at church so we had all day to think about leftover Uno's for dinner. What a fabulous way to end a fast Sunday!!!
