Erin's Baby Shower

I can't believe it's already almost time for Baby Machicek to arrive. Rebecca and Chrissie and I threw a baby shower here at the Bubela house yesterday and we had lots of fun socializing, eating and watching Erin open all of her goodies. Best of all, everyone brought their babies so anybody who wanted practice got it :) Here are some pictures:

Marbled cheesecake from Bumdoodler's - believe it or not, those flowers are made out of sugar

Eating and socializing - notice Erin in the back with baby Ryan. She's such a natural!

Measure the belly! Brandi won with the closest guess

Yay for presents!

The whole gang

Right before we cut into the cake...isn't she gorgeous? (Erin, not the cake)

Me, Rebecca, Erin and Chrissie

YouTube at its Finest

This is so awesome I had to share...think Riverdance but for lazy people with a much better sense of humor:

Zoo Fun

I know it's weird, but we've lived in San Antonio for a really long time and never been to the zoo. We decided to go over our anniversary weekend and had a great time!

Me and the python - their reptile house had a very wide variety; I was impressed

The okapi, Kenan's favorite animal - part horse, part zebra, and part giraffe

Us with the okapi

Don't tell me you've never had a day like that before - we've all been there

Behold, life as the world's fastest creature (not much to worry about)

Us in the treehouse lookout above the Africa exhibit

Now, this part was very fun - the aviary. You can feed the birds nectar, and mine were clever enough to open the container on their own and start going nuts. The one on my shoulder never even tried to eat it though. He was too busy eating either my hair or my shirt. Good times.

But Kenan wins the prize: a bird found him that liked him so much it wouldn't stop licking him (and I caught it on camera - insert evil laugh here)

Happy Anniversary to Us

It's been the best five years of my life, hands down. We are so fortunate that we found each other and were smart enough to recognize what we had.

Here are the beautiful flowers he gave me (one bouquet of two - he's very good)

Sneak preview of the Christmas card picture for this year

Out with the Old, In with the New

Here's one last look at Old Reliable (she sold in two days):

But I freely admit to thoroughly enjoying the replacement:

I Love October Weather

Maybe it's not quite as good as we'll have in November through February, but it's tough to beat. Kenan had a great idea so yesterday we got our lunch in Boerne and ate it at River Road Park with the ducks (I even snuck in some reading). We saw a couple of tiny little ducklings; they were so cute!

Apparently I was going for the "my aviators look really cool but for some reason they are pushing up way too high on my head and I didn't know it when this picture was taken" look. Good times.
