Friends are the Best!

Our ward has a mommy and me group that is the best! Braydon loves to attend it. He asks me everyday if he can go see his friends from church. He has other friends that aren't from church but he know that he gets to see these friends at least once a week! This week was at Christie's house and boy did we have a "splash"!!! She had a pool set up and sprinkler. Braydon loved every minute of it and when we went to leave he said "NO, my Chistie house!" He did not want to leave! It is great to see friendships start at such a young age! I excited to have Braydon be able to grow up with kids his age!!!!

Garage Sales Stink but there are some new loves in my life!!!!

One of our Garage Sale Piles!!! AHHH...we were up till 4:30 marking this stuff!!!

Another view of the pile

Anniversary Present for the next 3 years!!!!

Another anniversary present!! This one is mine!!!

When we found out that Braydon had BAD allergies we decided to splurge and get a Dyson! I love it!!!! It Sucks!!! haha!!! It is the best vacuum in the world!!!!!

For Mother's Day Ryan took me and Braydon to Galveston! We had a blast! We have a little beach bum on our hands. Braydon did not want to leave the beach at all! I guess one day we will have to be rich and get a beach house. We started off by going to Moody Gardens. The best was seeing Braydon's face when there was a man swimming in the tank with the Fish. He was in total shock! All he wanted to do was see the fish. He loved it! We can't wait to take him back. We had a lot of fun. We then headed to what we thought would be a fun place to go for dinner, the Rain Forest Cafe. There was a talking tree and that broke that deal with Braydon. He was so scared of the tree that he wouldn't even let us go walk towards a table. We ended up eating at Landry's, AWESOME food and great staff. We then walked across the street and went to the beach. At first Braydon was not too sure about it but then he was in love! Ryan had to catch him before he went all the way out! We went back to the hotel and just hung out for the rest of the night! The next day we went to the Strand and had ice cream in a family favorite place. It was fun to bring Braydon since we have pictures of all the other kids there and now we have one of Braydon! We went to drive around and Braydon is now tall enough to see out the window and wanted to go to the beach...he doesn't say beach though it comes out as something else!!! Needless to say I had a wonderful Mother's Day that I will cherish forever! I can't wait to make another trip out there and have some more fun at the beach with Braydon!

This was cool! It is a shark cage thing in the middle of the place! Braydon thought that was too cool!!!

Weekend in Katy

so I decided it was finally time to let you in on what we did two weekends ago. Actually I just haven't been able to look at the computer screen long enough to write but I decided that I would try my old glasses today and I am doing soo much better!! So here we go! It starts with Ryan getting off work at like 7:30 Friday afternoon. We headed to Katy for what we thought would be a short trip but by the time we got on the road and get Ryan something eat we ended up getting there at 10:30. Lela had already started painting Emma's room as a surprise with her mom that afternoon. So at 11:15 Lela and I headed upstairs to finish the room!!! HAHA....almost 6 hours later we finished and all we had to do was put circles on the wall!! How hard could that be right? HARD!!! Between us laughing and getting phone calls from the guys it was a long time! We went to bed at 5:30 that morning and got up at 8. Emma's friends were coming over and I had to go get her from another friends so that we could surprise her with not only her room but a party too!! The party was kept a total surprise which is amazing since her friends are crazy!! But it was great! That afternoon we had Hayes' Boy Scout thing were he became a wolf! It was fun! We then went to eat at Los Cucos. My new favorite restaurant in Katy! Dad and Emma both got cream in the face!! It was great! Here are some pictures of the weekend in Katy and I will post later about my Mother's Day getaway!!!

Emma's new room that took 18 hours!

She was shocked!!

The only picture I could get of dad!!

Emma and I finished the night with Malts at Johnny Rockets....YUM-O

10 minute work outs

To anyone out there trying to loose weight I have a suggestion. If you have some rhythm I got this dvd called 10 minute workout dance it off and tone it up! I just did it for 20 min and I am sweating like CRAZY!!! It is really fun and really gets you out of that normal kick box, crunch, push up dull. I love it! I think I might go get the yoga and Pilate one too..I probably totally misspelled that!! It rocks! I am so excited to finally be loosing weight! I have so far lost 20 pounds since January! my goal is 30-40 more. Many of you know how much weight I put on AFTER I was pregnant! I was looking at pictures today from before I was pregnant and while I was pregnant and after I was pregnant. I think I have put my weight on SINCE having Braydon! I just got lazy! I am back on the band wagon though and ready to dance off the weight! Wish me luck!!!!! I will keep ya posted on my weight lose for those friends from high school...Amber and Amanda....so that when you see me next maybe you won't know who I am!!!! :-)
