My Texas Shower!

What a fun weekend we had! The weather was beautiful and absolutely perfect for a baby shower! My lovely Texas friends were kind enough to throw me a wonderful and special shower which I thoroughly enjoyed! Here are just a few pics....

Isn't the cake sooooo cute???!?!? You all know how I LOVE a good monogram! 

The shower was simply perfect and as I mentioned above made me feel so special! Tyler and I have only lived in DFW for a little over a year and gosh, we've been lucky enough to meet some wonderful people who I'm really going to miss when we head to San Antonio. The good news though is most of the friends we've made work with Tyler, so we'll still get to see them :) Yay!!! 

Thank you ladies so, so much! 

Hey you, yah you....

So, as we near the end of this long, long, LONG experience I think I may be starting to lose my mind. This morning as I was pouring myself my one cup of coffee, I found myself chatting with my tummy. Yes, you read that right. Chatting with my tummy. Like not a " Ford, stop kicking.." like a "Ford did you sleep well monkey? You awake in there? We've gotta get in the shower so we can get to the dealership...." Yah.... I'm losing it. 

I know baby's can hear inside the womb, but I think this may be a bit extreme :) 

Laughing at myself.....

So, this morning I was going through my typical morning routine- waking up, coffee, shower, facial regimen, drying hair, doing hair etc. all while blaring my ipod. I have a habit of singing along to the songs that pop up and every once in awhile when a really good one comes on, I tend to belt it. So how embarrassing when our lawn man knocked on my door to talk about some flower beds..... here I am belting out the lyrics to Do You Believe in Love by Cher  (don't judge:))..... wow.... I'm that woman..... to make it even funnier. He actually said, "Ms. Deneault you have a great voice"...... I am DYING........

This actually made me start thinking of the oldie but goodie commercial from way back when. Do you remember this commercial? Love it! 

(obviously the lawn man is not my husband, but you get the point) 

Happy Hump Day! 

Weird things my husband does......

So, this week, I'm cleaning, getting organized and deciding what we're taking to corporate housing and what we're not. The good news is T's company does a really good job of "moving" you when all goes according to plan. Unfortunately, since we haven't sold our house yet, there's no need to technically move all of our stuff since decorated homes tend to sell more quickly. That said,T and I are on our own for the first move. Which basically means stuffing all our clothes, food, and baby Ford's essentials into our cars this Sunday! Fun! That said, I'm trying to organize and get prepared to add some sanity to the impending chaos :)

So, with that background in mind, I'm going through our pantry and come across this little baggy:

What you can't see is behind this, there's one filled with soy sauce, and then another filled with ketchup and mustard.... Wow.... my husband may have an issue. So I did what any good wife would do, I of course call him out on this weirdness and take the opportunity to tease the hubs justttttttt a bit :) Here's how the conversation ensues....

Me: Hey Connie, do you mind if I pitch your stash of sauces??
Tyler: Why are you calling me my Dad?
Me: Well to be fair I'm not sure if I should call you your Dad or Meme? But since I never met your Meme I'm going with Connie.
Tyler: Why?
Me: Um.... why do we need a gazillion little packets of sauces
Tyler: Well, I mean you never know. Don't throw those out! We can USE those!
Me: Tyler we have a bottle of hot sauce, soy sauce, ketch up, AND mustard.....
Tyler: Don't throw those out they're perfectly good! I'll use them! (says in angry, desperate, fearful that I may pitch them while he's gone voice)

Wow..... if I wasn't sure before, I am completely convinced Tyler is his father or at least a TRUE Deneault. Let me put it this way, last time Tyler's Dad was in town he not only "ganked" enough extra Target plastic bags to sink a ship, he relished in all the ways we could use said bags. And although I never had the pleasure of meeting his Mother (Tyler's Meme), I'm told (via my husband) she was known to clean out a sugar packet bowl on a restaurant table. Well folks rest assured, if you are EVER in need of sauce packets, plastic bags, sugar packets or hotel take-aways--- my husband is your man. :)

Love you honey! 

Weekend Recap

Tyler and I had a super weekend. It was nice to put all that's going on aside and just have a weekend that focused on us. No baby, no moving, no selling our home- just us.

Friday night we headed over to the Southlake Deneault's house and hung out with the family. Tyler's Mom was in town visiting so it was great to get to visit and catch up with her! Tyler made his world famous twice baked potatoes. This time he variated a little bit though, after some advice from my Dad, and added sautéed portabello mushrooms and onions to the taters. I'll tell you what-- they were already amazing, but these extra ingredients push them OVER the top! Of course in true Crispin fashion, I neglected to take a picture. (Hopefully, I get better at this when Baby comes!)

On Saturday, Tyler and I woke up and took Tana for a very long walk! The weather was finally cooperating ( it was GORGEOUS!) so we wanted to take advantage. Here's a pic of me..... as always in an attempt to always be completely honest.... This is me WEARING TYLER'S WORK OUT CLOTHES!!!!! ARGH.... I'm so at that uncomfortable, maternity clothes are starting not to fit, AGHHHH " get this baby out of me" stage..... (Brooke and Ashley STOP laughing! you'll be there soon enough :))

 Then T and I took an introductory camera class all afternoon. As you may or may not remember, T got me a spiffy Nikon D5000 for Christmas. It's the coolest camera. Or at least it will be, once I learn how to use it :) The class was really helpful and T and I learned a lot! I'm glad T took it with me though bc he was able to pick up much more quickly what the teacher was saying. There were a lot of technical terms which made me kinda scratch my head and say "huh?" But all and all- VERY helpful!

Saturday night was our "Date Night." T and I headed to Central Market and picked up all the ingredients for some yummy pizza. I gotta say, we outdid ourselves....

After dinner, because we obviously weren't glutinous enough, Tyler and I took a drive to get some ice cream. YUM! Have you ever had a hand-dipped cone from DQ..... This was my first experience and I gotta say- IT'S DELISH!!!!! Good thing it's about 3 blocks away from m house. I've gotta feeling I'll be stopping by there again sometime this week :)

Hope you all had a GREAT weekend! This week we're super busy in the Deneault household. I am packing up and getting organized! That's right, the Deneault's are moving to San Antonio this coming Monday! Lots to do, lots to do! No, we did not find a house. We are Corporate Apartment bound.... ARGH.... that said.... I'm sure this only means I will have LOTS of fun stories to share during the next few weeks! 

Pray! 

Happy Weekend!
