Fall Follies Day

Friday was our Fall Follies Day at school.  It was a day filled with dressing up, a costume parade, and hundreds of sugar crazed children!  I must say there were some pretty creative costumes in the parade.  I think my favorite was the little 4 year old who brought a live piglet riding in a wagon with a spider web and spider attached to the cage.  Case you guess which story book character she dressed up as?  It was by far the cutest thing I have ever seen!  My camera battery is dead but I will post a pic of my partner teacher and I in our Fall Follies costumes!



Last home game of the year!

We are getting down to the end of regular season football and this past Friday was the last home game of the year.  A little sad but exciting to know that playoffs are just around the corner!!  The Cubs played the Magnolia Bulldogs and won pretty favorably, 72-14! 





It's a Boy!

About a week ago we went for our 19 week check up and ultrasound.  This is where they take all kinds of measurements of the baby and make sure that it is growing like it is supposed to.  They check to make sure all the organs have developed properly etc.  We were also hoping to find out the sex of the baby.  Right off the bat she goes to find the legs and we are proud to announce that...It is a Boy!  When she focused in on the area between the legs, I believe her exact words were "There's no doubt it a boy!"  We were so excited.  We would have been excited either way, but I was secretly hoping for a boy first.  I always wanted an older brother and plus we already have lots of girls in the family.  We needed a little boy to try to even things out. 

If you look closely you can see the two legs with a little "something" in between!

This is a profile picture.  He was turned away from the "camera" so it's not the greatest.



Babies R Us

It's been a while since I've posted so let me catch you up to date on things going on in the Mouser household.  Last weekend my mom, grandmother and I went to Babies R Us just to find a baby memory book.  Two and a half hours later we leave the store with much more than just a baby memory book.  It was a great time to check out things for the registry and get input for two seasoned mothers.  I never knew there were so many choices to choose from.  Good news is I think we finally have things narrowed down so when we do go to register it shouldn't take 5 hours!  Key word being "shouldn't". 

This past Saturday we celebrated Brett's 29th birthday!!  I was going to bake his favorite cake but then he decided he would really like a cheesecake.  Great idea because I love cheesecake but I have never made anything other than the Jello No bake kind.  The Jello brand is good but it's just not the same, and store bought, to me, just didn't seem personable enough.  Soooo...I decided to tackle a home made cheesecake.  I found a pretty simple recipe and went to work.  Much to my surprise it turned out REALLY good thanks to my kitchenaid stand mixer.  There is no way I would have been able to get it as smooth and creamy as the mixer did.  I would almost say that it could compete with Cheesecake Factory.  It was topped with fresh strawberries and everything!!  While letting it cool for 4 hours in the refrigerator, we went to dinner at Alicia's in Cypress.  If you've never been, it's worth a trip.  Great food and even though it was crazy busy, we didn't have to wait for a table.  Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!
