I don't want to toot my own horn but...

TOOT TOOT!!!

So my friend Gwen and I got together and each made a bench. It took us about 2 hours to assemble (and that was with 7 children). But all the proud feelings of being a reinaissance woman were quickly negated when...
I sent Ty in to entertain his sister while I finished the project (Zoe had just woken up from a nap). Ty proceeded to put everything from her room in the crib. Yes, those are picture frames on the right side.

Zoe took it in stride.

She is going to be quite tough I think. Here is Jade putting a winter hat over her head.

She sure is loved, even if she doesn't want to be!

Okay ladies...let your husbands look at this!!!

Bruce Smith & Kade Smith

So some might say Kade is a very lucky guy. Both of my brothers were working this past weekend, so when my dad needed someone to go with him to the NFL Hall of Fame who did he invite...his favorite son-in-law, Kade. My dad coached Emmitt Smith at Escambia High School, so he gave 2 tickets to come to see him being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Kade is extra lucky since his idol growing up, Jerry Rice, was being inducted as well. Here are some pictures of his past weekend.

Emmitt, with his high school coaches Phil, Dwight (my dad), and Mickey.

Here are some Cowboys. Troy Aikman is in the middle

This is Emmitt's "little" brother Emory. He was always the kindest to me when I went with my dad to work, so I asked Kade to get me a picture with him.

Some guys have all the luck. Of course this meant that I was alone with the kids for 5 days...so what do you think I should get in return?
