Okay and (I can resist) my nick names for them in no particular order are ~ Huddy, Huddy Buddy, Maj, Majie Bear, Chicken Nugs, Bugs, Bubba, Booger, Bugga Boo and Bugga Boo Boo ~ Feel free to call them these also. They answer to them and everything.
I got to go with Stephen to Vegas for about 24 hours, literally! We took off early one morning from Houston with our kids in the wonderful care of Grammy and Gramps. By the time we got to Vegas it was lunch time, so we quickly began a search for something delicious, and remember, living in Victoria makes the food choices oh so much more important! We ate lunch at Grand Lux Cafe. I think it's related to Cheese Cake Factory. We had been to one before in Houston so we knew it would be good and we were hungry. Stephen could no longer resist the call of the black jack table and I could no longer resist the call of the shops at the Venetian! We went about our separate business happy as can be. I wondered around to my hearts content and then made my way towards my spa appointments at the Venetian spa. I got a massage and facial. The facilities were amazing. Had I known the spa would be like a mini paradise, I would have camped out there more that day. The different pools, steam rooms, rain rooms, cold room (not tempted by that one), showers, were so inviting. I had lots of cucumber water of course and felt very healthy by just being surrounded by so much earthiness. I had to head back up to our room for some primping and dressing up for our NOBU dinner. Nobu is inside the Hard Rock. We took a cab and sat down for one of the best meals ever. I can't remember it all now. But we stuffed our faces with some of the best sushi ever! I mean it was such a tasty treat. We turned in early by Vegas standards and slept until Stephen had his meeting the next morning. Our trip ended with some walking around the strip and a nice lunch. We were back with our boys by dinner time and heading back to Victoria, TX. It was quick but I'm so glad we went for it.
The kiddos that have been around for awhile ran around like nuts most of the time.
Stephen brought home some (illegal) fireworks for the boys to play with on New Years EVE. Stephen grew up in Houston where this is legal but in Victoria it isn't. Oh well, we went for it and so far no issues. They loved it!
See Julianne with a 39 week baby bump? Well, it's there and I got to go to her check up that week. We both tried really hard to look sad and pitiful so he would induce but I guess he wasn't convinced. No induction yet... but stay tuned!
