Narrative:
Preflight checks were normal and a route check was completed prior to the flight crew briefing. After level off; we were cleared direct to aex and the cqy arrival into dfw. After passing aex; houston center asked us where we were going and did we make a wrong turn. I replied that we were cleared direct aex; then the arrival. Both of us checked the FMC; made sure that LNAV and VNAV were engaged; then realized that nobbl and fzt were not in the box. Houston then cleared us to cqy; which we were already doing; and the flight continued without incident.
