6th Photo in 6th File

This picture was taken in December 2006. This is Jillian and her best friend Gunner decorating a gingerbread house. This is not the best picture of either one of them, but it is still cute! This is a tradition that we have started with our friends, the Browns. They come over when the Cowboys are playing on the NFL Network and while the guys are watching the game, the moms and kids decorate a gingerbread house. It is a lot of fun!

How Do You Know My Name?

I finally figured out how to upload this cute background. Yea!!

The strangest thing happened on Friday. Gooch and I got a wedding shower invitation for a couple in Amarillo. The weird thing is, we have no idea who they are. We have never heard of them or any of the hostesses. The really weird thing is that it was addressed to Chris, Jodi, Jillian and Jorja Alderete. All of our names were spelled correctly and they had our correct address. Freaky! Hope they aren't expecting a gift!


I had a funny conversation with one of Jorja's daycare teachers the other day. She is from another country and has an accent, which made the conversation even funnier. It went like this:



DCT: Jorja talks about your husband all the time.

Me: Really, she talks a lot about daddy?

DCT: Well, she always talks about Gooch.

Me: Oh, that is his nickname.

DCT: She walks around all the time saying, "My Gooch!"



She is too sweet. Jillian's class wore caps on Friday because they were studying the letter C. She doesn't own any caps, but I have a swim cap from my "triathlon days". She insisted on wearing it, so she walked around all day looking like this:
