Finley Loves Filipino Food

I am in a breakfast club at work, two weeks ago was my boss's turn to make breakfast. His wife made an amazing noodle dish that reminded me very much of the Mee Hoon Goreng I enjoyed so much in Malaysia. Another co-worker is also from the Philippines and I asked her if she had a recipe for whatever it was that my boss's wife had made. She said it was very similar, just not as spicy as the Mee Hoon Goreng. Imagine my surprise on Tuesday when she brought me a huge dish of Pancit Sotanghon. It was soooo good and Finley loved it too.

A True Texas Girl

Finley loves her Blue Bell and she loves her Chappel Hill sausage. She also has a bit of Maryland in her, she adores crab lumps sauteed in butter...almost as much as ice cream.

Here is a cute picture of her enjoying her breakfast of sausage, eggs and biscuits...all made by dad!

Eat em up, Eat em up....Go Coogs Go!

Finley went to her first ever football game yesterday. She has now completed the big three, she has been to a basketball, baseball and football game. Go Finley!

The game was a 6pm start and Finley loved it. By halftime, she was tired and the Coogs were dominating and the second string was being sent in, so we headed home for the night. If the game had been earlier, she would have been able to sit through the whole thing. And if the Frenchy's chicken drive through hadn't taken 30 minutes with no end in sight, we might have gotten some tasty chicken.

The mighty Houston Cougars defeated the Northwestern State Demons by a score of 55 to 7. Case Keenum looked amazing, he is going to throw for 6000 this year, I can feel it. If the Cougars can win the next two games, they are going to be unstoppable.

No Water....Yet

One of Finley's favorite things to do is to mess with the faucet for the tub in our bathroom. She hasn't gotten water to come out yet, but I think she is getting very close to finding some success. I think the water will scare her more than anything!

More Pictures from the Weekend

Finley had such a big weekend, that I am only now getting to posting all the backlog of pictures. I still have cute pictures from this week to get to, so she better not get too cute this holiday weekend or else I will never be able to catch up.

Finley is saying "Uh-oh" when she knocks down her blocks. She also says "Uh-oh baby". On the rarer occasion, she will say "kitty-cat" when she sees Wrigley or Camden. Clifton, G-Ma and I have all heard her say it! She and Wrigley are going to be besties forever.

Crab Feast

Finley had all her family over for a giant crab feast. She wore her new crab dress in honor of the occasion. Finley had a great time playing with her cousin Faith, who even helped to feed her!She also had her first taste of crab...sadly...she was not a fan. She still has time to learn. She looked so jealous before and the time before that.

So, this is where they make all that goodness...

Grandad, Grammy and I took Finley to Brenham to tour the Blue Bell factory. She was great for the entire trip and she absolutely loved getting to taste the ice cream at the end of the tour. She liked it so much, that was all she ate for lunch. She tried Peaches and Cream, Vanilla, Key Lime Pie and Chocolate. She didn't have a favorite, she just loved them all!!!
