Then they told him that since he is going paperless that Progressive will plant a tree in the rain forest for him. I thought that was pretty cool so I wanted to share. I bet other insurance companies do something similar, so check it out!

This picture was taken 2 years ago at the pumpkin patch. I decided to post it because this year Anthony wore the exact same shirt and he is pretty much posing the same! lol
Anyways, since she is all black and we found her right before Halloween we named her Samantha, like the witch on Bewitched. She is just a little sweetie. She likes to curl up against you, particularily your face, and go to sleep. The kid's are going crazy over her, they just love her. But she will get to stay an outdoor cat. Her and Caleb don't get along at all, so she can't stay inside.
Here we are at Christmas at my Aunt Ruth's house (my fav place in the world).
That was when I learned there were no more male O'Brien's to carry on my family name. That is why my son Anthony's last name is O'Brien, not Bagby. The baby is my dad's little sister.
This picture was taken exactly 3 months before he died.
Here she is with her husband Henry (who I love and miss Happy late Birthday to you) and their son's Christopher and Conner.
And my jalapeno pepper.
And my husband's make shift support for the tomato plant. He took a stick and tied it to the plant with a straw that he found on the driveway. There are so many comments I could make on this. lol
A) Four places that I go to over and over:
B) Four people who e-mail me (regularly):
C) My favorite places to eat:
D) Four places I'd like to be right now:
E) Four people I think will respond:
F) Four TV shows I watch all the time:
Okay, here are my answers!
A) Four places that I go to over and over: Walmart. Seriously that's it. I can't think of another place I go over and over. I am such a homebody, I like to stay at my house. Maybe the library but that's only every 3 weeks. I've been off and on sick for the last month so we haven't even been to church. I need to get out more.
B) Four people who email me (regularily): Hmmmm My mom and Shelly. That's it. And really I talk to Shelly more on IM than actual email. My blog is my outlet to the world.
C) My favorite places to eat: Olive Garden, Taco Casa, Maggiano's and TGI Friday's
D) Four places I'd like to be right now: Seattle, San Francisco, at my Aunt Ruth's house and North Dakota
E) Four people I think will respond: That is a hard one. I think Helen will...Holly guessed she would too. Probably Dawn....again guessed by Holly. And I'm gonna say Chel....because she should! And I'm one short...I say Holly!! I know it's cheating since I got this from her, but I don't know who else would! lol
Four tv shows I watch all of the time: Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Law & Order: SVU and CSI Las Vegas.
Okay, I did it, now you go to your blog and do it too!!!
Here is Emma dressed up as Cinderella when I took her to the ballet at Bass Hall to see Cinderella performed. She is 6 here.
Here she is all sassy striking a pose. She is 4 here.
And that's it for this week. I will be doing older pics of Anthony and Sara over the next couple of weeks, and hopefully I will remember to actually do them on Friday!! lol
Right now the Texas/OU game is going on. I really hope the Longhorn's win. If they don't, I feel sorry for Aaron's employee's when he goes into work tonight because he will not be a happy camper!!
That's all...hope everyone else is having a good week!
The exhibit was pretty interesting. They had a huge picture on the wall showing Tutankhamun's family tree and Sara got excited whenever we came across a statue that was pictured on the family tree. I definitely learned some interesting things. Like Tut married his half sister whose mother was Nefertiti.
When the girl's and I did our Ancient Egypt unit, we did basic stuff, pyramids, canopic jars, mummies, pharoah's. We didn't go into detail about the people because they simply would not have remembered it. So it was neat to learn so much more. Oh....and boy was Tut skinny!! He was only 5'6" (an inch shorter than me) and they don't know exactly why he died but they think it's because he broke his leg right above his knee a few days earlier and it became infected.
Another interesting thing was that they found the mummies of two female babies, believed to be him and his wife's stillborn babies. They had the tiniest little coffin's. Some of the artifact's they found were believed to have been used by King Tut as they showed signs of wear. The jewelry was absolutely beautiful. But the ancient Egyptian's were some little people! Their were a couple of chair's on display and it's hard to picture anyone sitting in them they were so little.
This weekend the girl's made mummies of their own using Barbie dolls. This one is Emma's.
And Sara's.
I just love how Sara's mummy had flaming red hair!
These are the Egyptian puppets they made showing how the ancient Egyptian's dressed.
Yeah, that is pretty much it. You couldn't take any picture's in the exhibit.
Emma
Anthony
Cortni
Aaron
Then we came home for a bit. I was reading my email and when I got up to go to the bathroom, this is what I found in my room. Aaron and the girl's totally crashed out.
Then I woke them up so we could go to the dollar movies to see Kung Fu Panda! Which we all loved! I will definitely buy it when it comes out.
Here is Sara pretending to be Tigress.
Here is me and my mom. I was 11. This was taken at my grandpa's wedding. I think Emma looks like me here. Her face is rounder and her skin is definitely fairer than mine, but we have the same eyes and cheeks!
This is me with my best friend Rachel. Short isn't she? hehehe This was taken back in Dec. 1999 and we were both 23. I am pregnant with Emma here, but you can't tell. Actually I didn't really show with her until I was in my last month!!
Awww here I am when I was 3. I was a HUGE Mickey Mouse fan. I remember that one year for my birthday my mom made me a Mickey Mouse cake. And if you ever see pictures of me before the age of 10, my hair will no doubt be in pigtails. Ugh
And last.....this is the day I got married. I don't have very many pictures of that day and most of them are messed up like this one. We got married at the JP's office and I wore all purple. Even my mails were purple (so gross). But I was in love with lavender. Aaron and I were both 25.
