A Southern Shower

I've been really busy lately, but it's been a ton of fun. One of my good friends from NH who is like a little sister to me is getting married this weekend. Since she is getting married down here in Houston, we decided to throw her a shower yesterday. It was a little twist on a Southern Belle theme. Other than the food not being ready on time, it was a really great shower. Instead of mint julip, we had mint lemonade and we also had some of the most amazing desserts. I would have liked to have done more with magnolia's, since they are blooming right now and Houston is known as the Magnolia city, but most of the trees are in other peoples yards, so I didn't want to steal from them...plus, that's just weird. Anyway, thank you so much Bartletts for letting me go crazy with the party, Tessa is going to be a beautiful bride!!

Corpus Christi

Last weekend we went to Corpus Christi. It's only about 4 hours from here, so the drive isn't too bad on little Isabelle. Jer's brother is moving down there, so while they we here looking for a house we hung out with them a bit. We took Izzy to this park that was pretty cool, but she fell down and was too mad to play from then on out. She wouldn't take her sunglasses off the entire time. I put them in the diaper bag and one point and she got them out and put them back on. She even wore them the entire time she was crying. I guess she wanted to look cool even though she wasn't very happy.

Weekend in Dallas

Last weekend we went to Dallas. Jer's firm was having an attorney retreat there and since it's only four hours away, it gave us a good chance to visit with our good friends Heidi and Nate. I also have to thank them for letting us spend the night. It was a lot of fun and our kids had a great time playing together. The firm put everyone up at the Ritz, so Isabelle and I played stow away and joined Jer for one night. It was a really nice place, the first picture is of Izzy eating a grilled cheese on a really nice chair. I felt kind of bad about letting her get greasy food everywhere, but it's still a hotel and they don't have highchairs at the Ritz. We did get to go swimming in a fun pool, but I felt a little out of place with the strobe lights and techno music all the while holding my toddler. Here are a few pics of the kids playing together, they were really cute together and Logan was so cute to include Isabelle and even hold her hand. Heidi has a much better camera than me, so she has all the really good pics, but you get the idea. Thanks again Reeses Pieces for the birthday party and fun weekend. It was good to see you guys. Hopefully next time we'll be able to take advantage of the sweet media room!

Scary Movie Isabelle

This is Isabelle's new thing, she lunges forward at me and then laughs when I do it back at her. Sorry about the abrupt ending, my camera died. Also, pay no attention to the oh so very loud Glenn Beck in the background. I guess I got caught up in the moment and forgot to turn down the volume. I'm like an old lady with her radio shows that can't hear.....I really can hear, that's just what it reminded me of.
