Vegas Baby

Our Friend trip this year was at good ole faithful, VEGAS.  Yes we did come home broke, but it did not stop us from having a blast.  This year there were 8 of us that went.  We stayed at the Aria, and it was pretty awesome.

 

The first night we were there went and saw Terry Fator.  It was a really great show.  I enjoyed it.  He is very talented.

Me, Amber and Diana

After the show we met up with Dana and Joey.

 

Poor David got sick and missed out on the fun. (and group picture that he loves)

 

We had a girls day shopping and eating while the boys gambled, lost money and had LOTS of drinks!

 

Friday was Jeff’s 36th Birthday and we went to eat at Maggiano’s.   I love the those beef medallions.   Afterwards we went downtown for a few hours.

 

We had a great time with great friends!

My friend Jodi is turning 30

We all met up in Ft. Worth for Jodi’s 30th Birthday party.  We went to 8.0’s and then some ghetto bar afterwards. haha  We had a blast ,at 8.0’s.  A few of my friends that I haven't seen a while were able to make it, and some that I see often.  So it was a great time!  I'm ready for the next party.

Air Show

Denton has an Air Show every year, and Jeff likes to take the kids.   I have never been, so this year I decided to go, even though it was H-O-T.  We could only handle it for a couple hours before we started frying.

 

Faith was in California so missed out on the fun.

Swim Lessons

We signed up for swim lessons again this year.  This time we decided to go to TWU, and we had a better experience and Carson enjoyed going.  Carson was really scared and timid at the beginning of swim lessons, but after 2 weeks he was doing so much better.

 

Best part was getting the popsicle.

Good job Carson!  I'm sure we will be doing them again next year. 

My silly Boy

I was looking through my phone and found a bunch of pictures that I have taken of my son that are FUNNY!  I'm sure I have said this before but Carson does and says the funniest things.  So I thought I would do a little post of some of the things he says and pictures I have taken of him.

As you can see he is a ham and keeps us on our toes.  I'm not sure where he comes up with these outfits.  I'm really sad that my baby boy will be 5 next month.  Where did time go.  I still call him my baby boy and he says, “ I’m not a baby.”  Yes I know that, but he will always be my baby boy.

May–part 2

I had a great Mother’s Day! Unfortunately, I was not able to go home and see my mom on Mothers day, but made it up there the following weekend.  When I picked Carson up from school on Tuesday he had a present for me, and was begging for me to open it, and not wait till Sunday. So as soon as we walked through the door, I had to stop everything and open his present. He was so Excited!

Carson loves to pick me flowers from outside.  I love getting them and keeping them as long as they last.(not long usually)

And this is what was inside! Foot soak crystals that they made in class, and a jar of notes of why his mom is special. awwwwww  We took each note out and read them all. It was so sweet and I just love my gift. 

 

On Sunday, I got to sleep in and then was showered with gifts from the kids. Faith was dying to give me my card. It was about 2 feet tall and she had it picked out and bought it on her own.

Then they gave me my gifts. Some pretty tulips, WIK candles for my burner, dark chocolate, and a gift card to the coffee shop that I love to go to.

I had a great relaxing Mother’s Day and even treated myself to a pedicure.

 

 

The 5th graders had a swim party at Oakmont Country Club, and I signed up to chaperone.  I was really nervous about it.  I wasn’t sure what I could wear and what was appropriate, not that I was going to show up in my bikini but I knew it was going to be HOT.   I wore a tank top and shorts and I was fine.  I really didn’t do much but sit on a chair, talk to some parents, took some pictures and fried my white skin.  But I think the kids had a great time.

Man I remember when I was in the 5th grade.  I hope Faith keeps her friends all through school and continues to be friends after graduation.

 

My little man will be going to private Kindergarten in the Fall at AAO.  He misses public Kindergarten by 26 days this fall, which I'm kind of glad!  His daycare will  have a private kindergarten starting this year and they asked if we wanted to put Carson in it.  Of course I do!   It is the same price as my weekly tuition for childcare, so why not give him an extra year of Kindergarten.  As of right now there is only 7 kids in the class and max will be 15.  I think it will be great for him and prepare him ready for next year.  So my sweet baby boy (awww I know) walked across the stage and graduated from pre-school. (I guess) ha

I really can’t believe how big he has gotten!  I love watching him grow into a little boy.
