FOUR!!!!!

I'm not talking about my wild golf shot on the course, Chad, I'm talking about my little girl who's on the verge of womanhood. Well maybe I'm over reacting just a little bit...nahhh:( I can't help but freak out when I think about how fast she's growing up, and before you know it she'll be walking down the aisle... at Ralph's [I wasn't freaking out that bad]. For now I will cherish her and all the wonderful moments we share together. For her birthday we had a little party at Chuck E. Cheese's, which was a LOT OF FUN for ME!!! Pizza, arcades, and a sick performance by Chuck E. and friends [who keep getting creepier and creepier the older I get] made the night a great way to end her special day. Nate Dogg was ready to pull an all nighter, but he was the only one, so he came home with all us party poopers. The prizes suck, but apparently 4 year olds think they rock. Carissa was very happy to get some awesome gifts, and mommy and daddy were happy to see how happy she was. Thank you everyone for being a part of her special day.

Gimme some of that cake!!!

Chuck E. "Cheeeeeeeeeeese"

Now I just need a prom date.

Dora n Diego!

How am I gonna eat all this and still fit in my princess dress?

Excuse Me Waitress, What's the Soup De Jour? "It's the Soup of the Day". Yeah, I'll Have That.

3 Roundtrip tickets to Denver, CO: $537.00. 2 drinks before while waiting to board the airplane: $9.27. Traveling 1025 miles to the Heberts: 4 hours. Getting to hold Derek Matthew Hebert for the first time: PRICELESS!!!! It felt like I was Paul Bunyan holding Chad for a minute, but then reality sank back in. What a bundle of joy this little guy is and at only two weeks old, we share a lot of interests....eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, choclate milk (although i prefer Hershey's) Little man was a Big hit with the family as you could imagine...even Nate Dogg was interested in him. The trip started off great with some golf for Chad and I. I only hit 3 houses if i remember correctly. It was great to be with my bro for some time to just hang out with not much more to think about then what club to hit...Good times Hebert!!! Apparently Carissa must have performed the rain dance because it started coming down Thursday night and stayed until Saturday. Thankfully Michelle was in the baking mood with her little helper Travis, probably due to my contagious need for sweets. Freshly baked carrot cake and chocolate chip cookies along with oreo's and that look from Chad and we were gooooooooooooooood! Thanks mija. The childrens museum was a blast for everyone. There was something for all the kids and then some. We never had this stuff as kids.....lucky. Fuddruckers made me feel pregnant, but dinner at the river was sweet. What amazing colors on those mountains, which the camera just could'nt do justice....and all those rocks we threw; Boo-yah!! The Red Rock Amphitheatre was quite the sight for sore eyes...not to mention sore legs after running up those stairs with Nathan on my shoulders. What a list of musicians who have performed there, but, no Zeppelin! It was definitely a cool place to end our time in Denver. Thanks to the Hebert family for a great time in Colorado...where green sauce is the default sauce on mexican food. Enjoy some pics folks.

Houston, We Have a Crawler

Well, it's come to that time in life where sitting is now a memory...for Renee and I. Nate Dogg is a crawler! He decided on Monday, August 11th that he was ready to take his first step towards manhood, although it was a step that he took on his hands and knees. It has been so exciting seeing my son grow up so quickly, considering that he got a 8lb 12oz headstart. It's hard to believe that he's only four months away from being a year old. I can't wait til we start playing ball and doing all those wonderful father-son things together. It's amazing how such a strong love can grow in short time and I look forward to my relationship with my son. God has certainly blessed me with this HAPPY boy of mine. Thank You God.
