I am ready to go Mamma!

So Monday morning I say we need to run some errands and "Kenzi, you need to get your shoes on." Needless to say this is what I see when she comes back to my room and Says "I am ready to go Mamma!" She of course gets tons of attention with the hat and the all purple always gets at least once "Is purple your favorite color? I love my little girl and wow is She adorable!

Is my girl pure bread Texan or what?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

GO STARS!


Well Last week we had a Stars week. It started out that Kenzi and I took the train down to the American Airlines center and met Carter there for a Stars vs Flames game. Which they totally won. At the game we found out that Marty Turco (Mommy's boy!) is going to be at the JcPenny at Stonebriar mall on Saturday. So after Carter and Kenzi convince me to go and try and meet him we did so. Unfortunately we were about 15 minutes to late as they cut the line off at 4:00 pm and we were about 20 people back. Though we did get some pictures of him signing other peoples stuff and who knows Kenzi might be pictured somewhere. As we went up to see him closer there was a guy that looked rather official with a camera with a huge lens. He could probably get nose hairs if he wanted. He turned around in front of us and said "Oh how cute", flipped up the camera. I said smile honey and he took the picture. Of course, my kid is adorable but she was especially cute given that she was wearing her Turco mask. (As shown above.) One person as we were walking past all the people in line who got there between 11:30 and 3:45, (yes the first person in line got there at 11:30 am) one person said, "Oh, it's a girl!" She made me proud! Though we did not get to meet Marty Turco, we had a great day trying to do so and it was great to spend time together as a family. Thank you Kenzi and Carter for helping me to have a memorable day. Oh and I did get to try on the Stanley cup ring for the 1999 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was actually a pretty hefty ring! That will probably be the closest to Marty I will ever get. Well, actually I take that back. I was closer when we went to the St. Louis Blues game last year, but I could not have picked any of the players out of a line up at that point. Though I did tell Robidas "good Game". That is another story! So sorry for the babbling and have a GREAT day! Later! Kari

Sophie goes for a ride!

We spend Monday nights with the Sophie and her family and I was fortunate to get this on video... Enjoy! Kari

Mommy turns 35!!! Yikes

Well unfortunately, I turned thirty five recently! Though I have to say that my birthday was great! I didn't have to do anything and Carter made me dinner and Carter and Kenzi made me a cake. It was such a nice day and Kenzi got me the Mother & Daughter Willow Tree statue. Thank you to everyone who wished me well and helped to make my birthday special. And especially thank my husband and daughter for loving me so much to help make my day extra special! Kari
