A Fun Night!

Tonight was Tula's "last" night as an only child so we wanted to take her out and do something special and fun just for her.  And would Tula love to spend a night any other way than out on a dance floor cutting a rug with her Daddy?  Absolutely not!  We took her to a really cool place out by our house called San Tan Flats.  It's like an old Western restaurant and bar with live music and a dance floor and BBQ pits outside.  We had a great dinner and sat around outside for awhile afterwards taking in the entertainment.  As soon as we got outside and Tula heard the music she started boppin'.  First we just let her stand on our table, she kind of would bounce up and down a little and try and snap her fingers the way she does.  Then, when she finally got out on the dance floor, there was no stopping her.  John, Jenelle, or my Dad would take he our for half a song or so and go to bring her back to the table and she would be ready to go again.  John even requested and had the guy play some Brooks and Dunn, Tula's favorite! She actually seemed to recognize the Boot Scootin' Boogie, and danced even harder to it. Hopefully Baby Brother likes country music too, Tula seems to have found her genre of choice and it looks like she's gone country all the way.  

We had so much fun watching her out there.  I felt so proud, she was such a little joy and everyone was smiling and watching her and thought she was just the most adorable thing ever. Of course I couldn't have agreed more.  Watching her and John out there and the reminder of sheer joy that my family brings me was such a great way to spend the night. Tula, thanks for a wonderful last night just the three of us!  Can't wait to bring your Brother home to you tomorrow and start this new journey together with you.  Mommy and Daddy love you!

Muffin, You are doing a great Texas 2-step there, sweetie. You are going right into dancing school. Music and dancing are sure your thing. Who needs "Dancing With the Stars" when you have "Dancing with Tula and Daddy" ???

Love you baby girl. Counting the days until I get my squeeze!!!
