Isabel really got excited after a couple of bites of food that Byron gave her and we captured her craziness on video.
You might want to turn down your volume as Isabel has really found her voice in this video clip and she can even compete with my brother's low loud voice and my moms!

Boot Scootin' Boogie
"Heel, toe, dosey doe come on baby let's go boot scootin!"
Did I tell you lately that my cousin Leslie is the best!?
Well, if I didn't, she is!
Love this little country outfit on Isabel!
Leslie helped find a place that sells cowboy boots for babies!
Now Isabel looks like a gal from Texas with her hat and boots.
Leslie also got her a beautiful James Avery charm bracelet with a cowboy hat charm. So adorable!
Thank you Leslie!!!
Leslie, threw me another one of her famous New Year's Eve parties and it was fabulous!
My cousin can cook! She showered us in some wonderful tidbits and once again she out did herself!
BBQ Pork Tenderloin with Parker House rolls,
Fingerling Stuffed Potatoes,
Prosciutto, Basil, and Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates,
Artichoke-Spinach Dip,
.....and tons more!
YUM!
We had to bring little Isabel to the party, as there was no one that could keep her that night, but Leslie and her sweet hubby, James, didn't seem to mind.
We had Isabel decked out in her country and western hat and country dress, all complete with pearl-snap buttons
"Oh, Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback, we're gonna boogie"
"Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie"
Speaking of boogie, Isabel was full of beans and Greg caught our little bundle of energy on video below.
Isabel is on the blue jean quilt my grandmother, Memo, made. She made one for all of her grandchildren and Leslie is being kind and letting Isabel roll around and slobber on hers.
My friend Jan and her finance, Mark, came as well.
Jan made her famous queso that has everything in it but the kitchen sink.
It was very decadent and it was very yummy.
Also, my cousin, Damon, showed up but we forgot to inform him that we had the little one with us and wouldn't be staying up to bring in the New Year.
Poor Damon! But he didn't seem to mind and waved good-bye to us as he poured himself a 17th cup of coffee. Damon says he is wired differently (no pun intended) and coffee actually calms him down.
Around 11:00 pm, Greg, Isabel and I headed to our hotel that was near and brought in the New Year together there.
A little boring, I know, but safer than being out on the streets after midnight!
Isabel surprised us by not only bringing in the New Year with us but also standing on her own! It was a real treat and we were lucky enough to catch on Greg's phone!
The next day we headed back to Leslie's place, so the men could play golf and the women could do some shopping!
Where ever I wanted to go, Leslie would take me.
First stop at the local Starbucks for a Gingerbread Latte and Leslie introduced me to some Tazo Green Tea Nonfat Soymilk Latte ,it was very yummy!
The next stop was the mall, and not the TownEast Mall that was close, no Leslie took me to Northpark mall.
I think we went into every store there.
It was also a lot of fun to show off Isabel because complete strangers would come by to say how pretty they though Isabel was. Of course I was showing off Isabel, as I had her dressed in her tutu that Tamera got her.
I was pretty restrained as I only stocked up on makeup that you can only get in Dallas and only at high end places like Nordstrom or Neimens. Not sure what to do as I love my Trish McEvoy!
After some damage to the credit card we headed back to Leslie's and enjoyed some take-out Tex-Mex. yummmm I can taste it now! Yummy chicken enchiladas, queso, guacamole and corn tortillas. I NEED TO BE BACK THERE AND NOW! SO HUNGRY
James had fun with Isabel and helped keep her entertained as mommy chowed down.
Thanks James!
Thank you Leslie for helping me bring a little Texas to Isabel.
I wish I was back there now running around with you drinking Tazo Green Tea Nonfat Soymilk Lattes (whew, what a mouth full), shopping for makeup and eating your delicious meals!
Of course a stop at Houston's for their Evil Jungle Noodle Thai Salad wouldn't hurt either.
I love you!!
and miss you!!

Swing Time
My friend Tamera had a party for me on Wednesday, the week I was leaving.
Thank you Tamera!!!!
It was a lot of fun to see Tamera of course and my girl friends and catch up. It was on a work night but that didn't stop my friends from coming over, and it put a big smile on my face to see them all. My friend Jennifer even came with her 8 week old baby girl! That Jennifer is always on the go! I need some energy from her.
Tamera had ALL kinds of food and goodies! About every 10 minutes or so she was pulling out another pan of this or that, it was great and it was yummy!
She went to a lot of trouble and I really had a blast, even though I was SICK!
Yes sick!
I got sick pretty much after we arrived, the day before Christmas Eve!!
I was sad, as I was planning on having people over for a Christmas Eve party but felt too bad to do anything. Then the week I was leaving I got sick again!! Allergies everyone kept telling me from some stupid mountain cedar!
I now officially hate mountain cedar!
Anyway, my Dad had driven up from Houston (I think his 4th visit if not more!) and was good enough to accompany me to Tamera's and face a house full of women talking about women stuff.
Poor Dad, but he didn't seem to mind....or maybe it was good for him to be in a house surrounded by beautiful women, hmmm....
Dad entertained Isabel on Tamera's swing in her backyard. It was rather cute as when he placed Isabel in the swing she put her hands up high and looked like a seasoned swing pro.
Here is a little video too.
We all had a blast at Tamera's party, so thank you again Tamera for hosting and doing all the work you did! Thank you Dad for coming with me and entertaining Isabel some. Thank you Staci, Jennifer, Trinette, and Kristi for coming over.
It was a grand night and I hope it won't be another 2 years before I see you all again!
Thank you Tamera!!!!
