Just Mommy and Me!

This past week, Reese and I had "Mommy and Me" night and just the two of us went out for yogurt. She thought this was so special, it brings a smile to my face just thinking of the excitement she got from this little trip to the local yogurt shop. She told her daddy and Charlie that "the stinky boys have to stay at home, me and mommy are going to eat ice cream!" Definitely something I'm going to have to do again....it was just too cute to not do often!! Also, this was the first time that we have ventured out of the house in our big girl panties and she did great! No accidents, I just have to remind her every few minutes, but she is doing wonderfully!! I love you sweet angel Reese!! =)

Happy Birthday Jennie!!

Saturday night we went out to celebrate one of my bestest friends birthday! We had dinner and then went out for drinks.....it's so nice to have some adult time with no kids (we couldn't talk the boys into taking their picture with their heads together!!!) We had a blast! Happy Happy Birthday Jennie......I love you!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Philip!!

Saturday we had Philip's 2nd Birthday party at McWane. He LOVES Thomas the Train, and his party was Thomas to the max!!! The kiddos had so much fun -- Happy Birthday Philip!!

Happy Birthday Kristen!!!

Today is my lil' sister's birthday and we have eaten so much cookie cake I feel sick!! Me and the kiddos went over to her house bright and early this morning to take her presents and sing Happy Birthday!! We had lunch at CPK this afternoon with the whole family and Kristen and I did a little shopping. Kris, hope you had a wonderful birthday and we love you!!

Sporting her new jacket.....so cute!!

Look at Charlie eyeing the cookie cake.....

Mary Kay Party

So one of my best friends has decided she wants to sell Mary Kay makeup -- what do I do? Support her fully and throw a Mary Kay party (woop, woop!!)!! I invited a few people over for Jennifer's first, yes, very first Mary Kay party and we had such a good time. We had lots of greasy foods and dips and a plethora of wine to keep the party bumping!! Jennifer did such a good job, no way could you tell it was her first, and we got to play with makeup. That equals a good night for everyone!! Good job Jenn......so proud of you!!

Jennie and Allison scrubbing their faces!!

Even mine and Jennie's mom's got in on all the fun times!! (They are exfoilating their lips!!)

My Little Ballerina's First Day of Dance

Today was her big day.....her first day of dance, and she could not have had more fun. She is such a doll baby. She did wonderful, looked absolutely adorable and her teacher said she followed directions perfectly. This is going to be such a great experience for her and her little friends. I'm certain there is nothing more precious than a group of little girls all dressed in pink leotards and ballet shoes. I was one proud, beaming mother today. Good job sweet Reese.......

showing off their ballet bags!

we are sooooo excited!!

not sure this is what the ballet bar is for??!?!!

getting directions from Mrs. Cindy.....don't they look so serious?!?!?

Oh how I love this sweet angel!!

I'm a big girl!!!

She is so proud of herself!!

First Haircut!!!

I finally did it, I took the plunge and got my little babies haircut. I didn't want to do it, to me, it's just another obvious sign that he is growing up ever so quickly, and I try to avoid paying attention to those signs at all cost. We loaded up the whole family and made a really big deal out of it for Charlie.....ok, maybe we made it a big deal for me, but still we made it special! He did so good. They had all types of sports equipment scattered around which kept Charlie's attention, and Dada was there to twirl balls around on his finger and make silly faces. Truth be told, he didn't have much hair to cut in the first place. Really, just the back needed to be cut, he still only has a little hair up top, so the haircut itself only took about 5 minutes. Still, he did very good, cooperated and sat still, all of which was very surprising to everyone! Good job Charlie man.....the first of many haircuts to come!! =)

my gosh they are cute!!

i know, i know......we were WAY overdue!

basketball in hand = Happy Charlie!!

doing sooooo good!!

ta da!!!!

he was so proud of himself! yayyyyy Charlie!!!

and what haircut isn't finished off with a sucker???

Sweet little Reese did such a good job cheering on Charlie he said she could have a sucker too!!!

Season Tickets are here!!!!

Joe and I have been on the list to get season football tickets for 6 years......just a short time ago, we got the call and our name was up! Although we wanted 5 seats together, we only got 2......hey, you gotta start somewhere!!!!! Today, they came in the mail.....

and we are OH SO EXCITED!!!

Roll Tide!!

Hard Rock

We went to Biloxi this past week/weekend for a little getaway and had such a good time. We got lots of sun, got to do some shoppinig, lots of good eating and always a good time, gambling!!! I realized when I got home I had not taken as many pics as I usually do, but here are a few of us from our first night there at the Hard Rock.....

Really Joe??

Charlie and Guitars

So my sweet little Charlie man has been in this guitar phase now for about a month. He LOVES, and I mean, L-O-V-E-S guitars. He likes to watch them on TV, he walks around and plays the air guitar, and when he hears a song that he likes, he strums his belly. It is oh, so cute, not sure where he got it, but oh, so cute!! When we took him to the Hard Rock Casino I thought he may have a heart attack. It started with the giant guitar at the front entrance, and continued on with the hundreds of guitars on display around the hotel and casino. Here are a few of my favs of him in awe......

check out that pose.....

too many guitars, too little time!!

L-O-V-E!!!!
