A fever has taken hold...

Jeff randomly decided on a Wednesday afternoon that we were going to visit his brother Jon and Liz and their 2 little ones the next day. So we got up at 4am so we could beat the traffic in Houston which is a 90 minute drive from our house. It wasn't too bad of a drive. Only 4 hours away so that was nice but we did have to take our own little one with us. And Nala was so good during the trip even though Jeff won't admit it... he loves her dearly and all the extra pain we go through lugging our own "child" around. :)

So this is us at the Alamo. I realize that this was a fort that housed women and children but I never entered a place before that they made you take off your hats and tell you to be as quiet as you can. Is that a Texas "proud" thing??? I think so. I guess its true when they say that Texans are very proud of everything Texan...



We went to the mall to hang out. Oh compared to the malls in SLC, it was fabulous!!! (as most malls outside of SLC are). Here is Jon and Jeff.. you can totally see they are brothers.

Oh look at this adorable little nephew of ours.... now can't you see the family resemblance??? :) Tee Hee... I so funny!!! This just happens to be the point of the trip where I'm sulking.... Yep!! My husband was nowhere to be found with me... He forgot his wife existed and became all about little Riley! Boo Hoo for me.. Someone pass me a tissue!!! :(


Ahh, during dinner Riley and his Dad had moments together!

Look at that face.. Jeff- I forgive you for forgetting me...

I think it hit us... the fever came ever so slowly... This is 3 month old Carson and what a cutie he is!


This is when Jeff and I realized we were both sick!!! Horribly sick... Jeff was holding Carson over his shoulder when I reached out my hands for my turn.. I mean, he had been holding him for nearly 2 minutes.. It was clearly time for me to have a turn. So when I asked for him, Jeff refused and I knew it!!! It had hit us both!!! I said to Jeff... "I think you have baby fever." and you know what he did? It was absolutely the cutest thing ever. He gave Carson a big hug and said "I KNOW!"
Uh oh!!!! Look at this.. Jeff and I both have baby fever.. Look out everyone.. a new baby may be on the way... and Jeff is so excited about it!

A fever or pure insanity, I'm not sure.
It is fun to play with nieces and nephews. Zack and I use to love to do that with Carly and Lydia before we had our own. Once you have your own its harder b/c you are tending to them.
