Okay so me and blogging haven't been getting along lately. So here I am playing catch up. Let see...the first big thing of the year was my favorite Nephew, Andrew "Drew Dog", was born on January 7. He is the cutest thing ever!! Here are a few pics....

Halloween

Alissa went trick or treating with her BFF Jenna. They had a great time!! I have never seen kids trick or treat as fast as they all did it! It was crazy!

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!

Texas Trip

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!!

Taking a look at the beautiful beach!!!
