My Baby Shower

JUST DAYS NOW UNTIL I HAVE THE BABY. THURSDAY, JULY 2ND!!!

CAN'T WAIT...

My great friends Lumanie, Carol, Tracy, and Jennifer threw a baby shower for me. We had such a good time!!! Alexis and Kylie joined me in the fun.

The girls and I.

My friend Lumanie is from Haiti and she got all those outfits there and then gave them to me after the shower. This child will never have to repeat an outfit.



Isn't this cake soooo CUTE!

The Stockyards in Fort Worth.

Matt and I spent a fun date night in Fort Worth, where we ate steak, went to the rodeo, and then to a concert to see the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. We got home around 2:30am and were struggling to stay awake on the ride home. We just can't party like we used to.Alexis and Kylie went with Dr. DeMoss (Matt's work partner) and Marianne and their granddaughter to see the Musical the Wizard of Oz in Dallas. They had such a great time.

We take our annual berry picking trip to the berry patch, and collected lots of blueberries! They are soooo good!!!

Kylie hangs out in the sand pit as Alexis plays in her softball game.

Alexis played softball this year for the Pink Diamonds. We loved watching her play.

The Dallas Arboretum

I took the kids to the Dallas Arboretum. Here is the skyline of downtown Dallas.

ALEXIS IN THE FRIEND

We submitted this a while ago, but it finally made it's way into the magazine!

OK, I know I have been totally lame on the blog front. Life has been SO busy that I have not had time to update.

The biggest news that I have is that we are expecting a BABY GIRL at the beginning of July.
I will try to be better about keeping this site up to date, but life has showed no signs of slowing down. I did resign my PTA board position for next year, so I am excited about that. I will stick to being a general member and homeroom mom. I just signed Nikki up for Kindergarten for this fall. I'm sad about that- she has been a good little buddy to have around. She is constantly making me laugh. We had a mommy horse and 2 baby horses wandering around our neighborhood for the past couple days and so when we were leaving the neighborhood in our car I told Nikki and Dylan to look for the horses. Nikki my 4 year old said, "Mom I think you should concentrate on your driving and not looking for horses." She defiantly soaks up every thing she hears.

We go to a fun Easter carnival. The chicks were all dyed different colors. They looked so cute, but I felt sorry for them.

My mom, my sister Emily and I decorate Easter cookies. All the really cute ones were decorated by my sister.

For Dylan's 3rd Birthday we went to the Circus.

Everyone wanted a camel ride except for the Birthday boy. He said it was too scary.

We have a Lightning McQueen birthday party for Dylan. He is obsessed with the movie cars.

We spend some time in WASHINGTON DC

We take a tour of the CAPITOL and the WHITE HOUSE.

Ford's Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

General Lee's house in the Arlington Memorial Cemetary.

We watch the changing of the guard and then check out the Ampitheatre at the Arlington.
