Elizabeth is growing like a weed! She's saying more words now - she knows a lot of her body parts (chin, eyes, nose mouth, knee, elbow, etc.). Last night I was calling myself "silly momma" and she repeated that. So, I guess we should watch what we say around her! :) She LOVES Winnie the Pooh right now. 
She carries around this 
over sized Pooh and brings us the Winnie DVD to put in. She sleeps with 2 Winnie the Poohs at night! I guess our big news is that she is binky (pacifer) free. She had some sores in her mouth about a week or so ago and we didn't give her the binky b/c we though
it would just make the sores worse, so, one night led to another and here we are. How cute is this little girl?!?! She still has a pretty good attitude, but she's spoiled.

I never did tell of my Star Trek experience. Kim and I had a great time. We got autographs from a lot of Star Trek stars - I got Nichelle Nichols, Leondard Nimoy, Walter Koenig & George Takei - all from the Original Star Trek series. Then I got
Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis from The Next Generation. Kim got autographs from the Voyager cast as the actors from the Original series. She got 2 more of those than I did since I didn't really know who they were but she did. One of the chicks from Voyager (Jennifer Lein) was a little on the odd side. She never looked up and spoke to people and when she did to Kim (to verify what color marker we wanted her to sign the picture) it was like she was drugged up. Not like she was a druggie, but I guess she is super uncomfortable with the whole meeting the fans thing so it's like they gave her something to get her through it. It was WEIRD!! Anyway, there were a lot of stars that we got to see on stage - Scot Bakula (I guess it was HUGE deal that he came, b/c that was only his 2nd one); Zachary Quinto - star of Heroes and will also play Spok in the new Star Trek movie coming out. Next year's convention should be pretty cool b/c the new movie comes out in May and the convention will follow in August. Anyway, we went to 2 parties - 1 at the Star Trek experience ride another in a ball room and Tim Russ (Tuvok from Voyager) has a band and they
played. There were not as many FREAKS as I was expecting, there were definitely some there, many with costumes, but they were pretty nice. There was a vendor area and there were some odd booths there. The guy who played Jaws in some of the James Bond movies was there and he was HUGE. The guy who wore the Chewbacca costume was there as well and he's really really tall. There were 2 cast members from the original Battlestar Gallatica there. The Asian guy who was in Revenge of the Nerds was there - he had a Star Trek connection - he played some kid in an episode from the Original series. There were quite a few people there who had been in one or 2 episodes selling there pictues. It was interesting! We didn't do too much Vegas sight seeing. However, we had one of the most expensive buffets EVER! We went to the Rio which has the largest buffet in the world (or US or something like that). I had the most amount of food I ever had in my life. I was going to get my $25 worth! :) We tried to go up Paris but they had it closed. We did a little gambling. Didn't walk away with anything - I kind of lost some, but I never played with much anyway. I guess that sums up the trip very briefly! Here are just a few of the many 100's of pictures I took! It was very hard to pick pictures to add to the blog, especially since I took so many! There was a costume contest and there were some pretty amazing costumes! Not sure that I would spend that kind of money again - but William Shatner is scheduled to be there next year....

My mom and dad came a few weeks ago and spent almost a week. Elizabeth got to spend a lot of time with "momma" and "papaw". She didn't know quite how to say Gramma and it came out as momma. My mom and I took her to the train restaurant. I wish I would have though to bring my camera. A train comes around and drops off your food at your table. She loved it. She became fascinated with trains when my parents took her to the zoo. Listening to her say "choo choo" is just too too cute! :) This past weekend, Brian's parents came to visit. We went to the lake for the day for a picnic and tried to fly a kite - wasn't windy enough.
I can't believe Elizabeth will be turning 2 in less than 2 months. On Thanksgiving Day! Man, I can't believe she's going to be 2 years old! WoW!
Well, no telling when I'll update this again...
