My Weekly Ellen Clip...

I have been on the fence about getting the iPhone for a few months now and this definitely pushed me over the edge. I am sold for the T-Pain app alone.

Noah Timothy Ateek!!

This post is a little late, but I needed to include that sweet baby boy Noah is finally here!! He was born on Thursday, Sept 10th weighing in at 7lbs 9oz. He is GORGEOUS and I am in love with him. Kathryn did an amazing job and she and TA made a beautiful little boy. He had a hard time his first few days and spent a week in the NICU, but now he is home safe and keeping his mommy and daddy up all night like he is supposed to :)

I spend my days off staring at his sweet face and holding him...being completely enamored by him. In fact, I have the day off today and I am about to head over there to see him for a little bit. Kat is a natural mother and its so fun and neat to see her with him. Crazy that after 15 years of friendship, we are at the place where she is a mom!! I am so happy for her!! And for sister Sarah too - we have to wait until April to meet her baby though, but I cannot wait!!

I will probably post many pictures of Noah on here because I have been anxiously awaiting his arrival for months and months and everyone knows that I love babies. So here is your first look at him, but be prepared for many more to come...



And then of course the first picture of Aunt Katelynn and baby Noah...we dressed him up in his tiny little Aggie gear and put him through a photo shoot. The first of many I am sure.

ummm...what!?

We all Want Her...

This is why Ellen is SO AMAZING!! Today was the start of her Season 7 and she opened the show like this...

Hook 'Em??

I guess by default I have turned into a UT Longhorn fan. Luke graduated from there and living in Austin, it seems that everyone is a fan. They must all bleed burnt orange here. I am pretty sure I bleed the standard red and I don't even look good in burnt orange!! Regardless, I love football and I love going to sporting events so when I was able to score tickets to UT's home opener this past weekend - I was super excited. They played Lousiana Monroe so we knew the game wasn't going to much to watch as far as good games go, but it was going to be exciting nonetheless. The entire city was wearing Longhorn attire and buzzing about the game. The news coverage and traffic were insane and the number of people was even crazier.

We went to tailgate a little before the game start - not really into tailgating and loud drunk people, but I am into friends so I went. We had fun and the threatening thunderstorm made for great weather. It was nice and overcast and a really perfect day weatherwise. It was for sure the coolest night we have had all summer and what perfect timing!! Maybe God is a Longhorn fan too :)

All in all it was a great night - the game was a blowout and we knew it would be, but still so fun to be there and watch. We even left early when they put the second string in. I was able to enjoy all of my favorite foods - stadium cheese nachos, a big fountain Coke, and pink cotton candy. And there is funnel cake!! It is the perfect menu for me all in one arena. Maybe this is the reason I got into football...

It was an exhausting day and getting by 10, all I wanted to do was get in bed. I put my UT shirt in the dirty clothes and I guess I will have to do laundry before next week...or invest in more of this color that is actually starting to grow on me. We are going to try and get season tickets next year, but as far as this year goes, guess we need to start looking for tickets to the Tech game in a week :)

Milo Getting Bigger!!!

So, I have realized that I need him to start going up the stairs...its inconvenient when I have groceries or something in my hands and he needs a ride up as well. Trying to teach him has been slow going and he still prefers to sit at the bottom of the stairs and cry until you go back down and get him. He is getting better though...and its really cute to watch his little furry self give it a try!!
