thursday three.

so, i'm totally stealing this from a friend's blog. she does a "friday five" for her family, where she posts all five members of her family's highlights for the week. i thought it was really cute, a good way to document our life at a glace annnnnnd gives me something easy to do each week on my blog.

score.

i decided to continue the trend with doing mine on thursday for "thursday three". so, here goes!

nick

i don't even have to ask my husband about this one. nick teaches (7th grade life science, 9th grade biology and 12th grade anatomy) and coaches (football, basketball and track) at a private christian school downtown. there he is known as "coach cornwell", the young, cool teacher... and i'm pretty sure the heartthrob of the female student population. it's true. so last friday they had a pep rally for the last football game of the season... which included... a dance off. right. up. nick's. alley. (if you haven't seen my husband dance, i really think he might've missed his calling. i mean, my man can dance) and even better? it included the song "bye, bye, bye" from the ever popular N'SYNC which luckily nick remembered all the moves to from when he was in middle school. and no christian school pep rally is complete without playing "soulja boy" (??!) which, nick also had the moves to go along with as well. not only did he win the dance off but that night at his football game, i was bombarded by parents, students and other teachers all telling me what awesome moves my husband has. he was definitely the talk of the school... and probably still is :) oh, how i love that man!

it's hard for me to pick just one highlight of this week... but i'm going to go with our family photo shoot we had on sunday evening with the *amazing* amanda guevara of {aka} photography (http://http//www.facebook.com/#!/pages/aKa-Photography/109238242457095?v=wall). amanda is a good friend of mine and she is seriously just so talented. if you live in the metroplex, you should book her ASAP! and if you don't live in the dallas area, well, she's only a plane ticket away :) she's THAT good. those of you that know me well know how much i love pictures. and we have an incredibly hard time trying to get family photos that actually come out! so this photo sesh just made my little picture-loving-heart soooo happy. i am just in love with the style and look of these photos and they capture our lil family so perfectly... here are just a few of the ones she took!

bella

this week nick and i introduced bella to "baby einstein" videos for the first time. she's been teething and just has had some cranky days so for her sanity (and ours) we broke out the ole baby entertainment. saturday afternoon she snuggled in bed with us and we watched together. she was soooo excited, just kicking and squealing away and loving the images and music. it was so cute. getting to be with daddy and mama AND getting to watch tv?? life doesn't get much better for our almost-six-month-old. she was in heaven.

so there you have it. our first thursday three. tune in next week... same time, same place :)
