Pizza Seeds :)

E is a pizza fanatic. I think he would eat it for every meal if we would let him. He always orders pizza if given the opportunity. That being said, yesterday we stopped by Whole Foods to pick up a snack for T. and E was hungry too, so we grabbed a good ole slice of healthy pizza to go. When we finally stopped to eat, I said to E., "you are going to turn into a pizza because you eat so much of it". E's response, "na, I won't because I am not eating the seeds". "Seeds?" I say. He says, "Yeah, if i eat the seeds I will turn into a pizza". I was trying desperately not to laugh because he was serious. So I say, "Pizza Seeds?" He says again, Yes, and looks at me like I am crazy because i didn't hear it the first time or didn't know that. I know I should have taken the opportunity to explain that pizza doesn't come from a pizza seed and that my first statement was a figure of speech, but i didn't yet. I just enjoyed the moment and our discussion about pizza seeds. I will save the explanation for another day. :)

E News

Ethan knows how to tie his shoes!!! We are so very proud of him. He has been trying for a long time now, practicing and practicing. T has been showing him how and finally this weekend, E did it all by his self. Yesterday morning Ethan got ready and I was ready to tie his shoes, but he came out of his room completely dressed and shoes tied. He has grown up so much. We are extremely proud of our Ethan.

Full Weekend Report

This past weekend was so full and fun. Friday night (which was the anniversary of the first Friday in August the T and I truly talked), was the Rumor of Glory concert and food drive. It was amazing. There were tons of people who brought lots of food. It definitely made a dent in restocking the food pantry for a little bit anyhow. Nate Navarro http://www.myspace.com/natenavarro opened for Rumor of Glory and my goodness he is good. His words and music shared his heart and that is awesome. Then the Rumor of Glory show was sooooooooooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooooood, GREAT, Wonderful! I am a little biased,however, those weren't just my words to describe the music and the message behind the music. After the show and some socializing, we headed home for some much needed "hang" time. We put Ethan to bed. Then T and I just hung out enjoying each other and couple glasses of wine. We have gotten a bit caught up in the day in day out that we haven't just hung out together. It was great and much needed.
Saturday morning, after a feeble attempt to sleep in, we got up and headed to the gym. I wanted to try this Fitness Yoga class and T was going to appease me and go too. :) T and I were both amazed at how much we enjoyed the class. WE will be doing that one again. Tony picked up Ethan and went to the rock climbing walls while I enjoyed a few minutes in the hot tub, then the steam room and after my shower met back up with them. Ethan climbed higher than ever....we are so proud of our little boy!!! We really love our gym. We ate some lunch and headed home to change and drive to my company picnic. The picnic was a lot of fun. It was hot, but hey it is August in Texas. We enjoyed snow cones, games, bbq, ice cream and more. After the picnic, about 7:30, we headed to Cedar Park to drop Ethan off at Aunt Jenny's and Uncle H.'s house. Tony and I were going to have some date time. Thank you Aunt Jenny and Uncle H. After dropping Ethan off, we rushed home and got showered and dressed. We went out to Lake Travis to hang out with Michelle and Frank on Frank's house boat. We had good conversation, good snack and it was sooooo fun to watch Tony and Frank rock on Guitar Hero. After a couple of hours we headed back to pick up Ethan get home.
Sunday morning be went to church and after enjoyed some lunch at Jason's Deli together. After lunch, we went home so I could prepare for my leadership meeting later that afternoon. T and E went to the pool at the gym and ran some errands while I went to my leadership meeting. I beat them home and actually had a little bit of time by myself. Crazy...I know. I used it to clear out a some clutter and purge some more stuff (I have been doing this in little projects). E and T returned home with a set of hand weights for me and a new workout outfit (good for yoga) for me too. Love my thoughtful husband for picking it out! We spent a little time together before T headed to work. Ethan went to bed and I fell asleep on the sofa until T got home from work.
Jam packed weekend, but it was full of great family time. I love my little family ;-)
