Go! Go! Go!

On Tuesday we took Faith to her first Houston Rockets game. We were fortunate to get free tickets through Keith's work. He had really great seats on the first level, so Faith was able to see all of the action. She enjoyed all of the lights and music and was entertained the majority of the night. Our seats were in the corner where the visiting team comes on to the basketball court.

Since it was Fat Tuesday, several people were dressed for the occasion and we even got free Mardi Gras beads to wear. We started talking to the man seated next to us and it turns out that his son plays for the Utah Jazz. The son's name is Ronnie Price. He isn't a starter yet, but comes off of the bench. I thought that was pretty cool. I looked up his picture and the son looks just like his dad.
The Rockets game was awesome and they played great! We got to see the new guy, Kyle Lowry in action and I think he will be a great addition.

Luis Scola is in the middle. Love him!
Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming!! (sing the song....you know you want to!)
We of course had to check out the Memorial Hermann Sky Court. They had a lot of cool activities that kids of all ages could enjoy!

Can't forget about Topper (Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital's mascot).
Keith and Faith with a few of the Rockets Power Dancers!

Faith almost lasted till the end of the game, but ended up falling asleep some how with all of the noise and cheering in the middle of the fourth quarter, so she didn't get to see her first ROCKETS WIN, but hopefully we will be back this year because we all had a great time!

Elena Grace & Overalls

We finally got to meet Virginia's and Roberto's new baby girl, Elena Grace. Her first name is pronounced: L - N - A (the Italian pronunciation). She is so tiny....I don't remember Faith ever being that small. She is so sweet and spent most of our visit sleeping. I am sure she and Faith will be good friends in a few years. :) We brought dinner over and had a really nice visit last weekend.

I made Miss Elena some Aggie overalls. I was a little worried on how they would turn out because I am not that artsy, but I think they turned out pretty good for my first attempt. It did help that I had Faith's overalls to use as a guide and expert advice from my friend, Trisha who has made dozens of these, including the ones for Faith. Thanks Trisha!! What do you guys think?

Here is Elena modeling her new overalls with her Mommy....I think it will take a few months before she can wear them. ;)Here is Big Brother, Luca and his daddy, Roberto

Going to the Chapel...

Matt and Tara are getting married!!! My brother, Matt and Tara officially got engaged on Friday the 13th....He proposed on the 13th in order to throw off her suspicion of the proposal. We went to Conroe on Sunday for lunch to help them celebrate their engagement. They already have a wedding date planned for June....in L A S V E G A S !! We can't wait till then! :)

Congratulations you two!!! Faith is so happy she is getting an Aunt "T".

Valentine's Day

While Faith was playing with her cousin Milan and making Valentine cards and cookies with Grandma and Grandpa, Keith and I had an enjoyable Valentine's Day together. We went to dinner at Polo's. The food was so good.....we were so stuffed afterwards.

After dinner we went to see Legally Blonde at the Hobby Center.

We have season tickets for TUTS, so it was just by chance that the date for the show fell on Valentine's Day which worked out well for us. :) Legally Blonde was so good!! It had such high energy and besides lots of music there was plenty of dancing which was great! It was a nice surprise that we had the actress who originated the role of Elle on Broadway, Laura Bell Bundy playing the role while the other actress recovered from an injury. Not sure if there are tickets left for the remaining performances, but I would highly recommend going to see it.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Faith wants to wish you all a very Happy Upside Down Valentine's Day!!

And a Right Side Up one too!! XOXO
