Dallas Or Bust, Baby!

So my sister in law, Marqae, and I spent a week in Dallas for the annual Mary Kay Seminar and we had a blast. It was awesome just to spend a week of "Marqae Time", but the seminar was very good also. We learned SO much and they had some really fun entertainment, like for instance, the "man angels" as shown below. Aren't they graceful??? He he he! Marqae and I all dressed up for Awards Night. Sure wish I was one of the lucky random winners from the audience who won the trip to Disney World or the $1000 cash or countless other prizes.

This is Day 1 and we got to tour the Mary Kay corprate Office. It is HUGE!!! and super NICE. We even got to see Mary Kay's office.

This was taken on our tour of the manufacturing building where they make all the products. It was actually a very intersting tour, and of course so fun. It probably would have been better if we didn't have to be in skirts and heals the ENTIRE time. Needless to say we both have very tight leg muscles now....Thanks Marqae for an awesome time!!! It seems like it went by too fast though.

Callaway Beach

On Friday we went to the beach with Kristin and her family. It was Kaleb and Kaden's (Braydon's Best Bud) birthdays. So we decided to head to the lake and have some fun. They had big blow up slides and trampolines on the water that we got to play with. It was a little hard to climb up those things, but way fun to slide down. I felt a little old when Braydon climbed right up the tall slide and made it look easy and I struggled to get up. Haha. By the way, sorry Kristin for falling on you!!! HAHA I just think this is cute......

Here we are. We could not get Braydon over to join in the picture, he was having tooo much fun with his friends.

Braydon and his best buddy, Kaden. Jason calls them the "A-dens"

Better Late Than Never

This was at my sister Janelle's wedding last September. I just came across these and thought I would share. This picture CRACKS me up, cause both the kids are making the same WEIRD face! So, if you need a good giggle, scroll on!This one was a little better!

The Girls

My friends and hubby threw me a surprise birthday party last saturday to celebrate my Bday! Complete with a BBQ, singing, cake and presents. (oh, and I also got to wear this AWESOME pretty tiara!) LOL. It was so fun! Above is me, Leiah, Erin, and Kristin. Thanks you guys are the BEST!!! XOXO

Birmingham Or Bust

This weekend was my good friend Jessica's birthday! Happy birthday Jess! They live in Nashville and we all met in Birmingham for some fun girl time. We ate at some really cool restaurants and saw a movie and stayed up way too late at the hotel talking. And then did some shopping....so fun.

Here is me, Jessica, Beth, and Lori...

Beth and Sarah. We ate dinner at this realy neat restaurant called 26....(don't know what the name means). It was really cool inside. And actually the bathroom was my favorite part, cause you got to go through beaded cutains to get there and then they weren't labeled Men or Women, and yes to answer your question......I guessed wrong. But then the other bathrooms were behind sliding doors that I thought were closets at first and there was just a little toilet and a troth like thing to wash your hands...so weird, but awesome! I wish I had gotten a pic of the bathroom.

Me and Lori. Thanks for a great weekend girls.........love ya, had a blast!

I got home Sunday night around 8 pm. I thought Ambria would be excited to see me cause she has never really been away from me that long before, so I was expected this great reunion with hugs and stuff. But instead I came in and she saw me and just froze midstep and looked away. She wouldn't even look at me. She was MAD at me! She held her hands and stuck out her bottom lip and looked down and wouldn't come to me. I couldn't believe it. She would sometimes peek at me from the corner of her eye, but she had to warm up to coming to hug me. It was crazy. I must have really broke her little heart. Eventually I got her and then she wouldn't let me put her down until we put her in bed.......pppooooorrr girl!

Braydon's gifts from Santa. He said is was the best Christmas Ever! I think he might be a little biased...

Ambria's Christmas. She loved all her gifts. Once she saw the Elmo live though, we would try to give her something new to open and she would just push it away. All she wanted was to watch Elmo. It was fun!

One of Jason's gifts. He got some Oakley Sunglasses, a watch, this xbox game, and some new slippers.

His game came in this box. I didn't want him to guess what it was!

I got a Cricut Expression! Yeah. I wanted one of these for a long time! Thanks baby!
