Go Frogs!
So me and the family attended the SMU vs TCU game this past saturday. I received my MBA from TCU and my husband his Masters of Engineering from SMU via our company paying for them. THANKS!!! :)
Well since my boss and many others that work for my company attend the games and tailgate, we made our visit. Plus we got free tickets to the game! As you can see in the new photo that I got them TCU shirts. My husband didn't care either way. He's more of an Texas A&M fan b/c he went there in undergrad. Anyways, we had a good time! It was hot, but not as hot as like say 105. It was only 88, but sitting in the stands in the sun was draining. Plus the boys can't sit a whole game anyways, so we ended up going down to the lower level to let them walk and run around. Took picture with the Chick fil a cow that was there. All in all, it was a fun trip even though, I had to work that morning from 9-11:30. I also missed a friend's son's 2 year birthday party at 11 at her house. Still very sad about that, but it's hard sometimes. I have to realize that I can't make every event, even though I do try...
I missed another friend's kids birthday party and I honestly think, I've been to everyone of her parties. Well maybe 3 years old was he first one I went to. Anyways, I was sad.
On another note, the boys are so good! Preston's new words are "Nope", "Not Yet" and "Okay". So cute. I mean he says many other words, but those are some cute ones.
Chase hasn't caught on to those words, but I"m sure it'll be soon. Preston is usually the first to bring in new words. I love the fact that I hear them talking with each other and having cute little conversations that I can actually understand! Oh yesterday, I was making cookies from scractch and Preston says' Mommy?, What you doing?" I love it!
Let's talk Europe
9 More days until London (1day), Munich(4 days), Berlin(2 days) and Salzburg, Austria(1 day) ! Crazy huh? I'm so not packed or prepared. I'm just trying to get through each day.
Once again, I has so much to talk about and someone called and got me distracted on my thought process, so bye for now.

Resturants and children
I just read the funniest post from a fellwo blogger. The name of her blog is Buried with Children. See link here.
She is a mom of triplets and a singleton. She was saying how she has trained her children how to act in a resturant and if you never take them to resturants then they will never know. Well, we don't ever go to resturants b/c of what had happened the few times we have take them. So Friday was my husband's birthday, 9/15 and we went to Fridays. We figured since Friday's is NOT a quiet resturant if they were loud it'll be okay. Well it wasn't the fact of them making a lot of noise or crying it was CHASE throwing things! He threw a napkin over the booth to another girls plate, it was horrible. He did it soo fast we couldn't stop him! He just wouldn't sit still. I was really impressed with Preston. AND no the crayons and paper did NOT hold their attention all but 3 minutes. The games on my phone pretty much kept Preston's, but Chase could care less.
Anyways, what I think I am going to do now is take them to a resturant every Friday night and TRAIN them on how we act while there. Otherwise, we will never be able to go to resturants b/c they won't know any better...
Someone commented saying they take their kids to Mexican resturants b/c of the chips ans salsa. My kids have never had salsa, but I think it's time to expose them to it! That might keep them occupied till food comes, but what will they eat? A fajita? LOL!
Any ideas of good kid resturants/loud ones to get your kids accustomed to how to act? I'm determined to get them to sit down and keep themselves busy.
In another note, I ran 2 miles on the treadmill at lunch today work. Now for my 4 miles on Saturday. :) On the road to my Half!

where do i begin
Oh gosh, it's been so long since I've blogged.
Hmm... What's been going on?
1) I'm actually training for the half marathon in december. YAY! Started this week.
2) Work is busy because I have a new manager and i'm like training him?
3) I'm heading off to Germany with my sisters for our bi annual sister trip. Minus one sister.
4) Kids continually keep me busy and puzzle me. Preston has a rash on his leg that we can't figure out what's up. Changing Pediatricians finally, MINE is just horrible.
That's what's going on in a nutshell.
Every day on the way to work, I see a plan either landing or taking off from DFW Int'l airport and I just imagine that being me in 24 days!! YES! I am counting down!! :)
There was so much I wanted to blog about, but I forgot now. :(
Goodnight everyone. Wait not one reads! LOL! :)

Dinner
I need knew dinner recipes/ideas! I cook the same 7 things over and over again and I really want to try something new!
If anyone still reads this, could you send a recipe in my comment area or email me? I've tried going to allrecipes.com, but I don't know if those are good. I don't know... I need something simple and fast! U know?
Anyways, our weekend was slower than usual. Not big events. I just went to a friends baby shower Saturday at 3:30pm. It was lots of fun actually.
There were so many pregnant ladies there, I hope something wasn't in the punch! I atleast counted 5 of them! It seems like a lot of my friends are popping up pregnant with their 2nd pregancy this year.. I think I'll let them have that and me, wait a while longer, if it ever happens again...
I can't imagine my life being any busier than it already is!
Oh MY GOODNESS!! I have 7 more weeks till I go to London and Germany and Austria!! Crazy!!!!!
I guess I need to sort of prepare!! Does anyone have any tips on traveling to Europe?

What I LOVE Thursday
This post was orginally typed yesterday, but forgot to send it last night. I was going to up load the photo. Never did.
I LOVE H&M!!! It opened today at the Dallas Mall! The first one in Texas!
I work close enough to go by during lunch. Well... didn't quite get in. The line to get in was in sections in the whole mall and people had been outside since 9pm last night. I had no time for that. So I'll be revisiting. I swear In and Out burger, now this.
I love H&M, but I don't love them that much!:)

This Morning Set it Off
Here I am driving to work, going down the SAME street that I got 3 traffic tickets on a week ago. I've been avoiding this street like the plague ever since. Well I decided against my better judgment to go this exact same way to work again. Well, I accidentally ran a red light. It was a quick yellow light and I couldn't stop! I tried, but it was impossible. So there I see the camera , then the flash and now I owe the city some more money. I think its $75 for the ticket. On to another payment plan.
I had just recieved, a $195 speeding ticket, that I Can NOT take defensive driving. I guess I'll get it deferred so it won't go on my record. I ticket for my inspection sticker( we are getting on this week hopefully) and then no insurance. I have insurance, but it wasn't in the car. The other car had like 3 of the them. Go figure.
Anyways, that set me in a somber mood and I'm just here today... Gosh, I hate my circumstances sometimes in life. Can I catch a break? ONCE EVER!????
Preston told me yesterday when I put my hand on his forehead, that he HAD a FEVER! Where does he get this from? It's not like they been sick recently. I just busted out laughing when he said that. It was sooo funny. You kind of had to be there too! They are both having Allergy issues right now, so not only does Chase have a runny nose , he has his famous drainage cough. So funny, Preston NEVER gets that cough. I mean, they are TWO different people. :)

What I "Heart" on Thursday
I guess, I'm joining the trend of doing "certain" things on "certain" days of the week.
EX: What I Wore Wednesdays
EX: Wordless Wednesdays
So mine is What I Love or "Heart" Thursday
So here it is.
MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Large Tote
It retails at Macy's for $348.00. 5 years ago I would just buy it, now.. I can only dream.. SO perfect for work and for weekends b/c it has a strap!!
For my birthday my mom gave me Estee Lauder's Pleasures perfume and my dad gave me Quicken! LOL! I'm in love with that also. Now we can forecase out weeks ahead on how much we can or can not spend in order to keep from spending too much! I LOVE IT!! I wish we had done this 5 years ago!!! :)
So tomorrow the boys are off School for Teacher Training for the upcoming school year, so I am taking the day off and taking the boys to the Dallas Aquarium! Thank goodness its free for them! I'm not going to like it when they turn 3 years old next year! LOL! So I know they will enjoy all the fish and sharks etc... My mom is meeting me there since my hubby will be at work. I'll take pics!
Have a great weekend! It's friday for me today!

Work
I rarely talk about my job , but I am today because....
I love where I work! I love the people here! Super nice! Super helpful. My manager is so cool, laid back, not a micro manager! Family oriented. Flexible. I really just love it here. And the work I do here , ain't that bad either! :) I'm just really happy here , more than I thought I would. I mean I don't dread going to work. WEll I hate getting up and driving here , but I don't hate it when I get here b/c it's such a great environment!
I've met really great people here. Some ladies in a nother group b/c I;m a one man island or woman, brought me Sprinkles cupcakes today for my birthday! She over heard me talking about how I LOVE sprinkles! So surprising! Then I got 2 different Birthday cards signed by many people and then my manager offered to take me to lunch, but it was after I had already left with another co worker. :( He said we'll probably do it in a couple of weeks. My friend also bought my meal at Pei Wei for my birthday! That was so sweet! So anyways, today has been really enjoyable and busy at work today.
The only thing I wish that I could change about my job is where it is located. :( It's about 35 to 40 minute commute. Oh how I wish I could be 15 minutes or less from my home!
