Fun with Football and Friends!

Zach and I have now traveled through 5 states and 1400 miles for a total of 22 hours in the car! We had so much fun cheering on our Rebels in Dallas and then packing up to visit the Schmidt's in Houston. On Saturday we made the drive to Houston to find the most perfect 80 degree sunny weather!

We had a great 20 hour visit with the Josh, Lisa and Mady. We even found enough time to get a bite to eat at my very favorite restaurant Maggianos! It is sooo delish! If you are ever close to one you would be a fool in my book to pass it up. You can never ever go wrong with Rigatoni D! umm ummm yum!

I must get on my soap box about how adorable Madyson is. I mean she is the sweetest, most friendly, and smartest baby! Not to mention she loves her E. What I would do to go back and steal a few more hugs from her. :) Here is a classic story from our playtime! Madyson and I were playing upstairs when she decided she was sick of me saying, "what letter is this?", "Who is that?" , "what does the sheep say?" and so on. She thought it would be appropriate to quiz me and see how smart I was. She handed me a block and said, "Whats that?". I quickly responded "its a block". She looked at me with this "you must be kidding" face and said, NO its RED! I nearly died. So here you go. I am not smarter than a 20 month old!

Aside for my kiddie time, we had so much fun catching up with Josh and Lisa! We did learn a few things about each other in a short period of time. Josh puts on boots and he suddenly talks a little bit cowboyish and that I am the queen of Mario Cart and Donkey Kong. My skills are simply amazing! Wouldn't it be nice to live a tad bit closer together....like 7 hours apart instead of 9.5!

PS- Don't let Lisa trick you into coming to visit her by telling you that the drive is only 7 hours....You might want to do a little investigating before you leave town! Just Kidding...we wouldn't have mind driving 16 hours!


We are still Hotty Toddying here in Oxford! We love some Rebel football!
