Where a Kid Can Be a Kid

Our Toys-r-us is so much fun they even have a big play area complete with a slide. Tyler is getting so brave that he will climb to the top with little assistance and slide down the slide. What a big boy!!


We all had so much fun playing. Tyler was into everything!!

Tyler wanted to try on ALL the helmets..it was so funny!!

Checking out the mini couch!

Sitting....

and laying!!

There was a huge stack on these chairs and tyler wanted us to unstack them all and then he sat in just about every single one =)

The Elmo Show

Crystal and I took Tyler to see Sesame Street Live. Tyler was so adorable. He got somewhat distracted at times but you could see his eyes light up when the different characters came on stage. By the end of the night he was even saying elmo. I had so much fun...thanks for letting me tag along sis.

Watching the show!!

What a handsome boy!

Ty and Mom!

Me and my Ty

Tyler says....no more pictures

Mom knows just how to get me laughing =)

Topping the night off with some yummy McDonalds!!

Mixing the sweet with the salty

What a fun day....we call this "the uncle john" because he is the only one we can think of that relaxes like this!

A Winter Wonderland in March?

Much to our surprise we got two snow days this past week. I thought I was living in Idaho or something!

Crystal and I were shopping and came outside to find our cars covered in snow and the snow still coming down...totally crazy. Not much stuck to the ground but it was still fun

Then a couple days later we had close to 9 inches of snow....they even canceled school

Sooo pretty but heck to drive in!!

Happy Birthday Hubby

John turned the BIG 28 on March 5th. We decided to take a trip down to Houston to spend time with his family.

Saturday night his family took us to Johns favorite mexican food place. I can never get enough chips and queso. The night would not be complete without a sumbrero and some whip cream. What a great sport!!

We had so much fun spending time with Johns fam...we love you guys!!

The most shocking gift of the night: 2 tickets to the NY Yankees vs Houston Astros...
I totally cant wait to go!!!!

On Sunday we met up with my mom, randy, papa, and marylou for a birthday lunch. It was so great to see everyone especially papa to celebrate his birthday. Papa and John shared birthdays wishes as they blew out the candles of their shared birthday cake....it was so cute =

Wednesday on Johns actual b-day we meet up with Crystal and Ty for a birthday lunch. Tyler is so in love with uncle john. They are so cute together!!

Those portable DVD players are the greatest invention ever.......

That night I gave John his present from me. I was going to keep it simple but I couldnt help myself...I ended up getting him 28 of his most favorite things everything from all his fav candy to pink floyd t-shirts...he was so surprised. But his favorite gift will take place in May. I bought him two tickets to see Roger Waters?!?!? All I know is he is/was a band member of Pink Floyd....so it should be fun

Even minnie joined in the fun =)

Christmas Cheer!!

Christmas was so great this year. I was so wrapped up in everything I did not take a single picture =(
We were blessed with getting to see my dad and johns parents this holiday
My Dad arrived Christmas Eve day and we were able to finish some last minute shopping before the stores closed early. We met up with Crystal and Ty for Christmas Eve dinner at McDonalds, Tyler was way sad when the playroom was already closed.
The next day Crystal served an awesome brunch with everything you could think of. The mimosas were my favorite. Then the unwrapping marathon began. Tyler was totally into it in the begining but towards the end he was just ready to play with all of his new toys. I still have about 5 things at my house to be opened!! Later that day Johns parents arrived with the best gift EVER, A 42 inch plasma TV. I could barely convince John to get off the couch for dinner.
Everyone was at my house for tacos and enchiladas...yummy!
My new years resolution is to take more pictures....we just got a new lap-top so I am hoping that will help.

Here Comes the Bride

The Shower

A little over a month ago we attended Britni and Chris's "couples" shower. It was decorated in a "country" style and there were even "redneck" games to play. The hostess served some awesome Mexican food with homemade desserts. The bride and groom were extremely blessed with many gifts and a great stash of cash for their honeymoon! John and I had a great time playing horseshoes with a toilet seat and playing basketball with a Nerf ball and a wicker basket. Good times were had by all!

The Wedding

Last weekend John and I attended the beautiful wedding of Britni and Chris. Britni couldn't have been a more perfect bride. She looked amazing and definitely knows how to throw a great party. John and I had the honor of preparing and giving a toast to the newly married couple. I of course totally hate to speak in public let alone a room full of people I hardly know but we rehearsed it a number of times and the delivery was flawless...yeah go us!!

We partied and danced the night away even into the wee hours of the morning. The plan was to stay and see Britni and Chris off to the airport at 3:30am but everyone was fading fast so we let the bride get her beauty rest.

Thanks so much for letting us share your special day! We love you guys!

We hope you guys had an amazing honeymoon!!!!

Fun Times in Houston!!

Britni, my best friends from nursing school got married last weekend so the past month I have been back and forth to Houston attending showers and throwing the bachelorette and bachelor party.
Our night out on the town consisted of eating yummy mexican food and going to a dueling piano bar. If you have never been to one before it is basically a band on a stage playing different song that people request. It gets kinda crazy but tons of fun. We were even able to get Britin and Chris on stage!! Thanks to the hospitality of Megan and Bobby we all crashed at their beautiful new home!

The Future Mr. & Mrs.

On the way there

Thank for being our DD!




Can never get enough of good food and great friends!!

Howl at the Moon

The after party

"Partyin' like rock stars!!"

Nothing like a little Guitar Hero to finish off the night
