Weekend fun

It has been an awesome couple of weeks, especially the weekend parts. Last weekend we drove down to San Antonio to see Cole, one of Ben and Lisa's boys be baptized. We were so excited to be able to just go for a quick trip...I think that is one huge perk of living here in Dallas. Unfortunately I didn't bring the camera so I have no photos to upload...I left my camera there the last visit and didn't want to repeat that.

Then this weekend we had another baptism. Tim (and now my) niece Alyssa K Howe, otherwise known as Ally, was baptized yesterday. She is a pretty awesome little chick and probably my most faithful blog reader, so this blog is dedicated to you, Ally.

Ally is hilarious, also very stylin' as you can see from the picture. Those are my glasses but she pulls them off way better than I do :) She was trying to walk down the sidewalk and said that "these glasses make me feel short" because of the distortion. I think we've also finally cleared up the confusion that Ally's 19 year old aunt Elizabeth is not mine and Tim's daughter. Hehe! Ally put on a Hannah Montana concert for us on New Year's that will never be forgotten! She likes to jam out on her new iPod Nano to, of course, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgins, and the Chickmunks...and she especially likes to leave out the headphones so we all get to enjoy her tunes :)

Liz flew out from Provo for the baptism, which was really cool. We packed as much as we could into our time while she was here. We went to a Mavs game on Friday. I was so excited when I moved to Seattle to have a pro basketball team in my city, even if they weren't that good. The the summer before I got there the Sonics were sold and moved so this is my first chance at that.

They give you these cardboard signs to crinkle-fold into a fan so you can slap them on your hand or knee as a noise-maker to cheer. They say you're not a true fan unless its split in two by the end of the game. Liz did it! I guess she's a superfan! And my eardrums are still telling me that's true!
