Zaza, Sfuzzi's and beautiful friends!

This weekend we celebrated Rachel's 30 (+1) Birthday! We got some of our best friends together for a night out! And to make it that much better, we got a SUPER nice suite at Hotel Zaza so we could all go back to the hotel after going out to dinner/drinks. Words can not even begin to describe how amazing our room was... so here are some pics.....
All ready for a night out! I love my beautiful Bestie! :)We got ready and walked over to Snfuzzi's for dinner. There was a 2 hour wait for a table so we just had some drinks at the bar until it was ready.We left Snfuzzi's 4 hours later and went back to Zaza. It was a fantastic night! Happy Birthday Rachel! :)

Weekend Rewind

We had a great weekend! Friday night Reagin, Mini & I went over to Pinky & Justin's house to babysit my precious nephew, Brody J. He was a perfect little angel. :) Reagin even changed one of his diapers! She loved helping out and wanted to "burp" him the whole time... whether he needed it or not! LOLSaturday morning Mini brought Jacquelyn over for some playtime before we took Reagin & Jacquelyn to see Beauty and the Beast. Reagin, Camryn & Jacquelyn have so much fun together!Then it was MOVIE time! Beauty and the Beast!!!
Saturday night my brother Kyle, and his girlfriend, Sarah, came over for game night. We played 3 games of Taboo, LOVE that game! They won the first game, we won the second, and then they won the third. We will definitely be having a re-match!!! We had lots of fun for sure!!













Sunday evening we went over to Heath's Grandma & Grandpa's house to celebrate Tata's 75th Birthday!!

He or She? Open to see!

Saturday night Heath, Heather, Justin and I went to Marissa & Garrett's baby gender reveal party. I love this idea (wish I had heard about it when I was still having babies) but I think it is so cool and think everyone should do this! No one knew the sex of their baby, not even the parents!! The doctor called the bakery after the sonogram and told them so they would make the cake either blue or pink. So Marissa & Garrett were really excited and anxious to find out too! When the cake was cut, it was BLUE! Congrats to them on their bouncing baby boy, Graham Randall Bothun, due in June! :)

I'm baaaaack! :)

Wow, I didn't post one single thing in 2011! Well, 2012 = new year, new start.

Heath and I have started 2012 off doing Weight Watchers. We aren't members and we aren't going to meetings but we have tons of recipes and know how many points we are allowed to have in a day so we're trying to do it on our own first, and hopefully save some money by not having to pay to do it. I'm really proud of Heath and his dedication to finally lose "the weight" For about the past 3 years we have called Heath's belly "Rocky". This was a name given by Reagin. LOL Well, it's finally time for Rocky to get lost. And I know Heath can do it. I am so mad at myself for allowing myself to gradually gain weight too. The holidays didn't do me any favors either. So I have 30 lbs to lose. I'm only 5' 2" so 30 lbs will make a HUGE difference! I'm ready and anxious to get back into my fave jeans again. And just to have more energy and confidence. This is the year. Last time I wrote about losing weight and getting where I wanted to be, I did. And I will again. :) We had Chicken Tortilla Soup this week and it was so good!!!

And the award goes to...

In other news, Reagin is in Kindergarten this year and they had a really fun awards ceremony Tuesday night. Her school's mascot is a star so the theme was Hollywood and all the glitz and glamour that goes with it. I'm such a proud Mommy! Reagin received 6 awards!!! Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, Classroom Leadership, Super Star Speller, Incredible Counter and Magnificent Musician... I guess Heath and I must be doing something right! ;)

Weekend Rewind

We had lots going on this weekend. Saturday morning I took Reagin to a trial gymnastics class at the ASI in Rockwall to see how she would do and if she liked it. She had fun and did a great job following directions and listening to her teacher! Here's a few pics:







Later that afternoon Reagin and I met Stephanie and Carson at their house and went to Kennedy's 4th birthday party together. The kids had a lot of fun!






Camryn played in Boston's cage for a while...






Sunday was spent doing laundry and hanging out around the house... it was a great weekend! :)

Bath Time Fun

So while Camryn was taking a bath the other night Reagin decided she was going to entertain her and help give her a bath too. It was too sweet and cute not to take pictures and share!

The Last 3 Months...

Okay, so I have really been neglecting our blog! We have been going through some pretty crazy stuff recently!

On April 29th I was at work and got a call from the Rowlett Fire Department telling me that our house had been in a FIRE and I needed to get there immediately! My heart sank to my stomach... please tell me this isn't happening!!!! So I got home and saw the damage. The girls' rooms (that I put many hours, love and work into) were completely destroyed. I was heartbroken!! :( The fire started in our neighbor's attic and spread to our attic from there. We always leave Boston inside in his crate while we are at work and for some reason (thank you, God) that morning I told Heath that we should leave him outside... it was a nice, breezy day and he agreed. He was about 5 seconds away from being in his crate. If he had been inside during the fire, he probably wouldn't have made it! :( Thank you Lord for telling me differently that morning!!!









So... we spent the next 3 weeks in a hotel...Reagin didn't mind at all, she like the free breakfast, maid service & the swimming pool! Camryn started crawling while we were there too! Of course the rooms weren't baby-proofed, but she survived!! :)






Memorial Day weekend we moved into a rental house.This is where we are now. It has been almost 3 months since the fire and the shock has worn off and now we are just trying to get a contract we're happy with and get it signed to get the ball rolling!!!



I must tell you how overwhelmed Heath and I were by the amount of people that offered any and everything they had to help us out through such a difficult time. Money, clothes, food & PRAYERS!! We truly have the very best family and friends ever! Words can not describe how everyone reaching out to us made us feel.:)


Reagin had her very 1st dance recital May 22nd. It was a tap dance to "Hey Goodlookin'" She did a great job! She had just a few "fans" in the audience! ;) Nana & Papa, Mamaw & Papaw, Nana & Tata, Mimi, Pinky, Mommy, Daddy & Cammie, Stephanie, Parker, Carson, Mini & Jackie were all there to cheer her on!







Heath danced a Father/Daughter dance with her on stage! It was so sweet!!




So, since then Camryn has started walking!! Little stinker!! She is walky walkerton these days!










She turned the big 1 on July 8th. We had her birthday party the following Saturday and it was a wonderful day!! She LOVED her cake! The cake I made her!! It was a big cupcake! :)









Let's see... Camryn & Reagin had their 1 yr & 4 yr old pics done in June... it was about 1,000 degrees outside, and Camryn was hot, sleepy, hungry & teething and of course, Allison got some great shots depsite all of that! My pretty girls!!





Reagin went to see the musical of Beauty and the Beast! She loved it!!







We also went to Carson's 5th birthday party last weekend and it was a lot of fun!!











I promise I will try to keep this up to date from now on... or at least the best I can. I know I missed some things from the past 3 months! If I think of anything else, I will post it too!
