Brayden and Bryce are FAMOUS!

Seriously!! Remember the Santa picture I posted a few days ago?! My sister-in-law, Emily, emailed Brayden and Bryce's Santa picture to The Ellen Show and they called her this afternoon to tell her that they used it in the taping of the show today!! It will be on The Ellen Show TOMORROW (Thursday, 12/4)! Amanda, you were so right about sending that picture to the show! I am so pumped!

Much love,
Very Proud Aunt Becca

Bryan's Thanksgiving Day Cranberry Tradition

Every year at Thanksgiving, Bryan adds his own special touch to our Thanksgiving meal at my parents' house. You see, my mom always has the most beautiful table set up with the perfect dishes, the perfect centerpiece, and the perfect napkins! Bryan decided a few years ago that he would bring the cranberry sauce every year and to our family's surprise, he sculpted it into an art project. I'm sure my mom just loves Bryan's cranberry sauce creation on her perfect table! But, she is such a good sport! If you know my husband and his dad, you know that they never skip out on a chance for a laugh or a practical joke! Three years ago, Bryan made a turkey out of the cranberry sauce. Last year, the cranberry sauce had a Dallas Cowboys theme. And, this year, the cranberry sauce was in the shape of Minnie Mouse in honor of our sweet niece, Vivi. Vivi is obsessed with Minnie Mouse and Cinderella right now so she just looked and looked at the cranberry sauce in awe! Then, Mom's centerpiece for the table had pumpkins on it and Vivi pointed to the pumpkins and said "Bibbidi - Bobbidi - Boo!" I think she really thought they might turn into a carriage just like Cinderella's!

'Tis the Season...

To visit Santa Claus! How awesome is this picture from

Brayden and Bryce's visit with Santa yesterday?!

Two Baylor Bears and a Sneak Peak

Bryan surprised me this week with the most adorable Baylor t-shirts, newborn hats, and infant baseball hats! Both being Baylor Alumni, we will be tickled to dress up Jordan and Nathan in their very own green and gold. Look at how precious...

And, my sweet and talented Mother is sewing Jordan and Nathan's bedding, curtains, quilt and pillow for their nursery. Jennifer, Mom, and I drove all over the metroplex to find the perfect fabrics. Mom has been working away and I just couldn't stand to keep this picture from my blogging friends any longer! The quilt and pillow are complete!

Much love,

Becca

Update on the Twins!

We went to two doctors' appointments today. The first appointment was with Dr. Graham, a perinatal specialist. He did a sonogram and measured the babies. Jordan is estimated to weigh 1 lb. 11 oz right now and Nathan is estimated to weigh 2 lbs right now. That means they are measuring at about 25 1/2 weeks and 26 weeks! I am only 24 weeks, 4 days today! These boys could be some big ol' boys! Then, we went to Dr. Clark, my ObGyn, for our regular appointment. He measured my tummy again today. On Sunday, Janelle and Angela convinced me to ask Dr. Clark how my tummy measurements compare to a single pregnancy tummy and oh boy...this is hilarious! He said I measure the size of a 32 week single pregnancy! No wonder I feel like an 80 year old woman by about 2:00 in the afternoon. But, overall, I am feeling really good and I really have never been so grateful to feel these aches and be so tired! Here are a couple of pictures from our appointment with Dr. Graham today. But, I have no idea which picture is Jordan and which picture is Nathan. Bryan and I didn't notice that the pictures weren't labeled until we got in the car. Oh well, I guess they pretty much look the same anyway! :)

Much Love,

Becca

What A Week!

This past week has been super busy! My birthday was on Tuesday...and all my friends and family have spoiled me rotten!

Saturday: Jill started my birthday celebrations with a sweet visit to my house last Saturday afternoon. We got to sit and "girl-talk" for almost 2 hours! Oh, and do you love the new header on my blog?! Jill designed that and put it together for me...she is the greatest!

Sunday: Bryan's mom and dad, Emily and her bunch, and Granny took me to Mimi's Cafe for lunch after church. I just love their quiche! Sunday night, we celebrated my birthday with mom, dad, Jennifer, Jason, and Vivi. My cousin, Jason, and his wife, Teia, came in town on Sunday from Tennessee. It was so much fun to have them in Texas for a few days. My mom cooked one of my favorite soups and served a delicious cake after supper. It was divine!

Monday: We ate supper at Mom and Dad's house again to spend time with Jason and Teia. They are just the cutest couple!

Tuesday: We went to the Mavericks Game! It was such a blast! Pregnant girl (me) was such a good sport until about 10:00 and then I began to fade. Ya'll, that is one hour past my bedtime! Here are some pics from the game...

Jason and Teia

Pregnant Girl and her SWEET husband

Jennifer and Jason

Wednesday: We ate supper at Joe T Garcia's in Ft.Worth...delicious! My cousin likes to eat there when he is in town, and of course, we love it too. Vivi liked the Mariachi Band and queso so she was a happy girl!

WHEW! I'm hoping next week is a little more uneventful!

Love,

Becca

Lions, Minnie, and Audrey...Oh My!

Vivi (my niece) was the cutest Minnie Mouse ever for Halloween! Notice how she has a different lollipop in each picture...she was in lollipop heaven! And, Brayden and Bryce (my nephews) were the most huggable little lions ever! I got to tag along with them while they trick-or-treated on Main Street. We had a ball! We missed Bryan that night because he had a volleyball tournament at school to manage. He did meet us at Granny's house later that night just in time to see Brayden and Bryce in their costume.

This was our attempt to get all three of them in the same picture!

Lollipop #2

(I don't have any pictures of lollipop #3 and #4!)

PaPa is so silly!

Running through the hay maze!

And, I can not miss this opportunity to post pictures of Libby dressed as Audrey Hepburn for her Halloween costume. She's almost believable isn't she? Libby lives in Houston right now...we miss her like crazy!
