Dallas with Jen Hall Scott

Last Monday at 6:45 am we hopped into the car and headed to Dallas. First stop: Frisco to visit my buddy from high school, Jennifer Hall Scott.

Don't the girls look thrilled???? Yes, we woke them and they were still waking up at this point. But the girls were complete saints in the car. We made it in 8 hours exactly and I had planned for it to take more like 9. Of the 8 hours they only watched an hour and a half of DVD's' the rest of the time they were listening to books on tape, reading books, coloring, doing stickers, playing with their toys, listening to music and talking with me (Oh and Ashley maybe had a 20 min nap). We took 4 potty breaks (one at lunch and 3 on the side of the road in the potty in the mini van) and Anna and Ashley wanted to eat lunch in the car. So that saved us time like you couldn't imagine. I was stoked to see that my girls are like their momma; they don't like wasting time on car trips... they just wanna get there!!!

We stayed at Jen's house until Wednesday after naps and had a blast. We played with their son Nathan's toys, read tons of books, played with the toys we brought, took a bath at their house, went on a hike, played on a playground, went out to eat for dinner at a Mexican restaraunt, and went shopping at Target and a Mommy's home decorating store. Anna even got to sleep in a huge full bed that was high off the ground all by herself so she was super stoked to have her own room with a HUGE big girl bed!

Jen has always been a great friend and it was so great to visit her home in Texas and see her as a mommy. She is the hostess with the mostess and we can't wait to visit again. I already declared on facebook that Nathan can have any one of my girls hand in marriage because he is such a rockstar. It has been officially decided that the next visit will consist of a arm wrestling tournament to determine his wife and a quick trip to Crate and Barrel to begin the wedding registry!!!!! :)

Anna HAD to have this picture of her and Ursula the sea witch. Anna just loved going to potty in this bathroom to visit Ursula.

Thanks again Jen!

Much Love,
Jenny

PS Anna just looked at this post and said, "I had so much fun there. I just love that Ursula house!"

PSS Here are some fun pictures with Anna! It was hilarious trying to get to her take one of Jen and I on the iphone. But I'd say she did a pretty good job!
