I forgot to totally mention Beth’s 31st Birthday here on this cool cool blog. I hope she doesn’t read this too often. Hey, maybe I can change the post date and make it look like it was written back on feb. 5th. Maybe sooo. I also speak geek.

Anyways, we had the Grandparents keep the babies (girlies), so that I could take Beth to a really swanky place to eat. There is this new upper scale restaurant off Space Center Blvd., on the edge of Pasadena, called “Cullen’s”. You can drop a chunk of cash there very easily. The atmosphere was really really nice. Excellence service. The food is gourmet… you have to kinda work around the fluff to eat the meat. :) They brought us a dessert for Beth’s day. I am so glad this restaurant is not one of those s”singing ones”. As a former waiter in college…. I hated singing to people at the restaurant  HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. oh the pain. Ok,back to beth. I got to spoil her at least for one night. She is a wonderful wife and deserves way more than I can give.

Two Year Olds

NEWS FLASH: Macey turns two!!!
It seems lately we have been spending alot of time at Chuck E. Cheese. But thats all Macey has been talking about. The only sad thing is that she wasn’t feeling too well the night of her party. She had a great time anyway: blowing out candles, playing games and staring at Chuck E. 

She has been playing with her NEW magna doodle.

Audrey’s 6th Birthday

Audrey turned six this January. It is amazing how fast time is flying buy. Beth dediced to have her party at Chuck E Cheese. What kid doesn’t like that place. A place where you spend tons of tokens for tickets on items that cost less than what you spent on tokens. Audrey loved it. Too bad I was sick for the whole party thing. Beth ventured with the three girls by herself. Audrey raked in the loot  and gifts.

Audrey also made a cake with Grandma B. It was rainbow in color and in flavor on the inside. What is rainbow flavor, I asked? I still can’t tell you. At least she let her sister’s help in blowing out her candles. What a sweet girl. Before we know it, she will be a teenager. What do we do then? I am still reading up on that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY!

A Christmas Carroll

Funny title huh. I had been made fun of my name most of my life. Finally, for at least one day, I get to enjoy it. On great thing about being a parent, is that you get to make Christmas amazing for your children. The looks on their faces, their excitement of opening gifts, and the times we spend together with no work or school. Oh such great times. This Christmas the girls opened presents as usual and played with them lots. For Macey, this year she actually understood that their was something in the boxes. She would open one and scream… oh my… in her cute kiddo voice. Then she would open another and scream again.

The other girls loved their gifts of course. Beth got me some cologne and a very cool longhorn hoodie. The girls and I bought Beth a purse and some perfume. Yes, you heard right, I went purse shopping. Audrey wanted to pick out some pink fluffy purse, I almost bought it just for laughs. After this it was off to grandma’s so they could be spoiled some more.

Any way I thought I would share a few picture for you to remember.

The Night Before Christmas

On Christmas Eve evening, the girlies baked cookies for santa (yep! he liked them) and they wrote him a cute little note. They were sooooo excited, that they were dancing and jumping around in the living room. Shelby, who usually sleeps really good, didn’t go down till around midnight then woke up around 2am and then went back down sometime after that. Crazy Crazy night. The hardest part was trying to keep Macey from eating Santa’s cookies. Every time we would turn around she would sneak over and have on in hand.

Shelby’s Christmas Play

cplay1

All the of the Second grade classes put on a play at the Elementary School called “The Littlest Reindeer”. Shelby role was to be in the choir. This was our daughter’s first school program. We were very excited, but not more excited than she was. Shelbs kept bouncing around running from us as we came to the school.

Grandma also came to cheer Shelby on. Macey watch for approx. 3 sec. then decided to wander thru the crowd, just to walk around. Who’s say you came make a toddler mind. :) Anyway, we had an amazing time. I guess you can’t tell that we are very proud of our girls. Merry Christmas.
