Baby Shower

My sister is having her first baby in the begining of January. She still has not figured out what she is having...BOO!! Its been driving me nuts, but I guess I will be finding out in about 5 weeks. So at the end of October my mother and I threw her a baby shower. I love to throw parties so I had a blast and I think all of the guests did too. Jen got so many things, that I don't think she had to much left to buy! I can't wait to meet the little girl or boy!!




Lots of presents...this baby will be spoiled!



The games were great!!



Me and the baby Mama...



The fruit carriage I made...so cute!!!

The table spread, it turned out beautiful!!!

OCT

Well its been a long time since I updated this blog, so I will have to go back to Oct to catch everyone up....

Lets start with Alissa's 7th Birthday...boy I can't believe how big she has gotten! She is turning into a beautiful (rotten) girl! So this year she got three cakes all in different cities...the first was with me in Tallahassee...

Her second cake was with daddy and my family in Jacksonville, I had to work so I wasn't there. The third cake was in Orlando and it was for three generations: Great Grandma, Mommy (me) and Ali....

For Alissa's birthday we decided to go to Discovery Cove in Orlando and swim with the dolphins. It was such a wonderful experience!! If you ever get a chance to go...do it! So worth it!!

We got to kiss him (Kai)...

He sat on our laps...

We got to ride him...

The family: Ali, Me, Joel, Ryan (my little brother), Aunt Tonya, Uncle Taz, Mom and Dad!

So I am a little late with this blog...haha..only two months. Well Alissa and I headed out to The Woodlands for my BFF's Wedding. We had a great time catching up with old friends and all of their babies! I really miss The Woodlands and wish I could live there again! Maybe one Day!

Dance Recital

Alissa had her dance recital this past weekend. She was so cute! She did really well and loved shaking her tushy for the crowd. They think she has the potential to be really good and invited her to join their mini company, which is their 5-8 competitive team. So we are really excited to see how she does with it. So enjoy the pics!

Getting ready, she loved the fact that she got to wear makeup!

A little meltdown...it was a long day!

The three of us!!

Nati and Ali Cat

Rae Rae came to visit!!

My old roommate and BFF came into town this weekend. I have not seen Raechel since 2002 after I left Japan. Her and I were two peas in a pod back in the day! The stories that we can tell...well lets just say we hope our children will never hear them. Well she was sent to school in Pensacola for a month, so we decided it was time for a little reunion. We went to Panama City for the day. And then we came back to Tallahassee and hung out catching up on old times. Since 2002, we have both gone on great adventures...getting married, having kids and gaining footing in our careers. It was great getting to see her again!!

So I'm a couple weeks behind, but its better to be late than never!!!

Alissa had a snow day at her school. The kids had a really great time playing in the "snow" (more like ice). They also had some face painting, food and a bunch of other things to do. So here some pictures:

HAVE FUN!!

Happy New Years

Happy 2009!!

So for New Year's it started out as a fun day. We took my brother and Alissa out for some putt putt, laser tag and jungle jim fun! We had a great time and I especially liked whopping Joel and Ryan on one-on-one laser tag!! Then we decided to hang out at the house, since Joel had to work all night, but we got a call of a party and we headed out. Alissa was pretty mad that only grown ups were allowed. We told her when she gets big she can party all she wants..I'm thinking we might have to take that back at some point..LOL. So we headed over to a friends mother's house. When we walked in the average age of the party was some where between 50 and 60, so we all headed outside for "shot time". At some point of the night we even got some of the "elders" out for "shot timeeee". Joel had to dip out early, so I had to ring in the new year a little early. But all in all it was a great time!
