Spa day...mani, pedi & a new hair-do...

As you all know, my sister's anniversary was yesterday. So, we watched the girls all day today and tonight so that they could celebrate! They spent the day going to lunch, the museum, laying by the pool for all of 15 minutes before the rain came, going out to dinner and staying at a nice hotel in downtown Dallas!!

The girls played, we took them to Double Dave's for pizza and games and then I took them for manicures/pedicures! Lucky girls!



We came home, played some more, ate dinner and got ready for the movie and popcorn! How much fun!! The girls giggled and laughed. They really had a good time!!

It was all fun and games until we came up to check on them and found these...

I still can't believe what happened. It just makes me sick.

More pics to follow tomorrow!!

I scream, you scream...

What's better than good friends and ice cream?

Ashton went to Vacation Bible School this week, and she had so much fun! She really enjoyed the music, snacks, new friends & fun! Ashton's friend, Anna, came over for lunch and to play after VBS today! They had so much fun together!!

Big Day...

Today is a very special day in our family!!

Happy Birthday to Papa!!



Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad!!



Happy Anniversary, Julie & Patrick!!


I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

She finally cut it...

Ashton has been begging for Aunt Jaclyn to cut her hair. I kept trying to get it cut when we were out, but she wanted to wait. Well, Aunt Jaclyn came over today, and she finally got to cut it!! It turned out very cute too!!

Thanks, Aunt Jaclyn!!

Fun times...

We went to a place called Strikz for Johnny's company party on Friday! We had pizza, played a lot of games and Ashton bowled for the first time! Ashton had SO much fun, and she is now saying that she wants to have her b-day party there. Let's see how many times that changes between now and March!

We headed to Lake Texoma on Saturday morning early! Johnny played golf with my Dad, and Ashton, Reese and I went with my Mom. My Mom got her haircut, and Ashton got a manicure and pedicure while we waited! Lucky girl. Then, we shopped a little! There aren't too many places to shop in the Sherman mall, but we managed to find some good deals! Ashton got a new pair of Nike tennis shoes that are very cute! She was so excited to get new shoes! I know the feeling because I LOVE to get new running shoes!! Any new shoes are actually fun! Then, we met the guys at the marina for lunch! The girls both enjoyed seeing and feeding the fish and the turtles. Ashton stayed at the lake and had a sleepover with Grammy and Papa! She was SO excited when Grammy asked her to come! In fact, she didn't want us to come at all! She wanted it to be HER thing! She is already asking when she is having one again!!

Ashton came home with Grammy and Papa on Sunday morning since she still wasn't ready to come home! We met them at Isabelle's softball game, and we all went out to dinner afterwards!

What do you do...

We were in such a good routine of sleep, and I think that I messed it up! Maybe its just teething, but I am blaming myself. I FINALLY decided to get back to the gym this week. I have been 2 times so far, and I am planning to go tomorrow morning! The only problem is that the girls can't seem to get "in sync" as far as sleeping! Reese normally gets up at 7 or 7:30, and Ashton gets up at 8 or 8:30. So, Reese is almost ready for a nap by the time we are all ready to go to the gym. I decided that she will adapt, and we just went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday. The end result...She took a morning nap, NO afternoon nap and woke at 5:30 2 days in a row! Ugghh!! We got back on track yesterday, and she slept until 7:45 this morning. I put her down at 9:15. 30 minutes of crying. Gave her a dose of tylenol IN CASE her tooth might be hurting. Finally got her up and gave her a bath. She FINALLY went to sleep a little after 10! GREAT. Not so much. We have to leave at 10:40 for gymnastics and then out to lunch with friends! Oh well. The life of the second child (I guess)...

Will I ever get back into shape? Maybe so. I guess we will all have to lose a little sleep in the process!

Happy Father's Day!
