Look what's in Fort Worth!

Titanic artifacts!!! It won't be there much longer either. Preston will be home the week or so before it ends and I have got to make him take me! I'm a little obsessed with Titanic, I LOVE when stuff about it is on the History Channel, I could watch it all day! :) take me Preston, please:)

New baby:)

This weekend was full of kids! Julia Ann had her 5th birthday party ;) and I helped her mom after that with a few of the girls that had a sleep over at their house and did princess hair and nails etc. lots of fun, wore me out!


Sunday my sister Katie and I drove to Louisiana to meet our new baby cousin Cooper! Isn't he a doll? So tiny but still looked big with me. Sweet baby boy.


Now I'm home and trying to rush around and get laundry done, I was supposed to dust and vacuum and deep clean my bathroom this weekend ... That didn't happen. Oh well kids are more fun anyway :) Preston will be home in a day or two for just one night before he leaves for two weeks, and so it begins!

Sushi :)

I never thought I would be one to eat and actually enjoy Sushi, because I hate fish/seafood. Until recently the only seafood I would put into my body was shrimp scampi (love that yummy greasy stuff!) Shoguns is a hibachi restaurant in tyler and can be quiet expensive to eat there but we discovered that sitting in the sushi bar area and just having their yummy house soup and fried rice was a nice cheap meal and we eat there often. Preston is one who will eat anything and he liked to get sushi too and one day he finally got me to try some and its now my favorite - Shrimp crunch roll - it just has a piece of fried shrimp on top and there is some crap, avocado and cucumber inside with a sauce on top. Delicious. I also love their Texas roll now it's about the same except no shrimp and it has a slightly spicy sauce, and I always dip each bite into a little soy sauce. So I don't eat the weird raw stuff but I definitely enjoy the others! I'd say be brave and give it a try :) last night I went to have sushi with Katie & Jared and it was great! (The dragon roll was Jared's .. I did not try that one)

27 years :)

First of all I just discovered that Blogger has an app! Hallelujah that's is sssooo much easier that trying to do it from the web on my phone! Anyway back to what this post is about ...


Today my crazy husband turns 27! He is the Beast to my Belle, the peanut butter to my jelly, He is my other half that makes me whole. We have been together 8 years and they have flown by, we've grown together, apart, and back together many times and although its been tough I would not change it. I love you to the moon and back and don't you forget that.
Happy day of birth Preston!

Lent & Kids

This year when trying to decide what to give up for Lent the first and only thing that came to mind was our beloved, addicted FaceBook .... not internet or blogs, just Facebook. I can do that right?  its only been 4 days and i feel like its been a month already ... i feel completely lost and out of everyones lives because i cant see what everyone is doing! I have to actually call/text someone to talk to them - weird! I don't know what to do without FB asking me "Whats on my mind" every day lol I only have like 40 more days-ish .... at least i get it back the week before Baseball, I cant go to games and not post photos! aahhh the horror! seriously though its been hard to shut that out of my life but i'm hoping to learn from this experience. 

XOXOXOXO



                          I am with the kids this weekend .... don't you just love them? I do!
I even got a quick photo with Jacob - see he does exist too he just never does photos.

I am never bored when i'm with them that's for sure, i'm not sure if this video will upload correctly or not i have never tried that before but anyway i'm on my laptop playing around and listening to music and i look up to see the girls rocking their dance skills. 

I also had a couple of hours with Jenna ( Julia was at dance) and so we played beauty shop and fro-baby got her hair straightened! took forever. she brushed it and played with it all day she loved having "long princess hair" poor baby was upset when i gave her a bath tonight and it went back curly. she is cute either way but it was nice for her to have manageable hair for a few hours lol. I'm letting her sleep in braids tonight with heavy duty WEN conditioner in it and ill rinse it out in the morning and she will have pretty curls for a day before they fro out.

the girls said they want to stay up all night ... meaning until they have melt downs from exhaustion and i make them go to bed ... which could be soon.

Tomorrow I should get home after lunch and ill have to get laundry done and then i plan to veg out with Preston one last night before he leaves till mid march.  Good night!

The Majestic

• Saturday night we did a very grown up thing and went to Dallas with a few friends to the Majestic Theater to  see our favorite comedian Anjelah Johnson! this lady is seriously funny. we have never been to a live comedy show and after this i hope to go more, we scored fabulous floor seats for super cheap because Lyndee follows Anjelah on twitter and she had a pre-sale deal a few months ago when we bought, unfortunately you cant take photos during the show so none of her :(  none of us had ever been to the Majestic theater was absolutely beautiful, brought you back in time check out one of my favorites from her below :) 
• .Nail Salon

                                               best time! We laughed until we cried

Today (Sunday) I am recuperating and doing laundry etc. i'm making experimental food for dinner .... meaning we may be eating cereal if its not good lol. trying to make some type of meatloaf and doing it in a muffin pan, i just threw ground beef and a couple of seasonings and a little tomato soup and bread crumbs and cheese and tossed it in .... scary. 

Next week is going to be busy between work and babysitting i'm off to bed early, here's to a good week!

Wedding Weekend Photos

Preston's sister got married yesterday and since we never get dressed up and my husband never looks this good(he was a groomsmen) and had semi groomed facial hair ;) We took the opportunity to take a nice photo. We got married almost 4 yrs ago hard to believe! 

The Bride & Groom - congratulations 

                                                     This is his real personality                                     
                                        

                                                     Grandmother & I <3 b="" love="">

                                                Cousin Kaitlyn and I -my sidekick 

I also cut my hair/bangs this weekend, i went straight from the salon to the wedding so it was cute curled but i'm not really sure how it looks straight lol its short but i think i can still get it into a duck tail on days when i want to be lazy and not fix it. and if its not what i want it will grow out and i can do something else with it :) i like to have fun with my hair - in the summer i like to get highlights ( i had some caramel low-lights done this weekend ) its only hair its fun to play with and it always grows back or color can be changed :) have fun.

Preston wanted to watch the super bowl tonight, I only have love for Baseball and this Football thing is quite boring to me but i'll make a sacrifice to have some quiet time at home together,

  But seriously - 8 weeks till Baseball - Thank you, Jesus. :)

This next week will be busy and i hope it goes by fast!

 i'm ready to make our Dallas trip on Saturday! 

Hurry Up May!!

(I started this blog post a week ago! and then got busy and forgot to post it. fail)

I cannot wait until May 29th!!! Disney bound again! and once again i am more excited than the kids are!! woohoo! 

Thank you Feliciano's :) 

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

This past few weeks I have tried a few new recipes some were a hit and some eh maybe wont eat that again lol. Chicken Parmesan was fabulous and we really liked this creamy cheesy chicken quesadilla's that we had too, we also did a smothered pork chops recipe that was super easy and had a really good flavor, over all I was very pleased with the new things we tried and will definitely do them again sometime! Preston will soon be on the road ( A LOT!) so i'm squeezing in home time all i can, my favorite thing to do it just lay around the house watching movies and eating junk food :) so i try and force him to do that as much as i can.

we did taxes the other day .. boo. but its done and our refund will make another nice dent in my 2014 House fund :) so that makes me very happy! 

The next few weekends are busy - next weekend is my husband's sisters wedding and the following we are going with a few friends to the Majestic theater in Dallas to see Anjelah Johnson's comedy show, I CANNOT WAIT! she is so funny.. If you dont know who that is YouTube Bon Qui Qui or the Nail Salon video of her. That is going to be a fun night!
