Star Struck at the All Star Game

This year on Valentine's Day, David & I spent a very fun night with Peyton. We went to the NBA All Star Game at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. We were part of a Guiness Book of World Records crowd the included 108, 713 people! Although I have to admit that it really didn't seem like that many people. The game was a lot offun but it was a pretty subdued crowd. The boys liked it because there were lots of cool slam dunks but I liked it because there was lots of star gazing to do. The halftime music was done by Usher, Shakira and my favorite of the three Alicia Keys...that girl has got some pipes! Other notables in the crowd included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shaquille O'Neal, Spike Lee, Magic Johnson and Carmen Electra. Preston stayed with Gran & Pap and had his own Valentine's Day fun!!

Not so Super Bowl

Each year my sister hosts a fabulous Super Bowl/Birthday Party at their home for her hubby Bryan. And although I always look forward to these get togethers, the night brought with it some mixed emotions. Here's why:

The boys were pretty agreeable when it was time to go

Peyton was bummed that his namesake's team lost. :(
