This Must Be Just Like Living In Paradise

I can smell the suntan oil from here. Jerad and I just spent 5 days in Mexico and it was fantastic. We wanted a relaxing get away and man did we get it. We stayed at the El Dorado Royale Cassitas Resort. It was an all adult, all inclusive resort near Playa Del Carmen. Beautiful blue water and hot, hot sunshine. We slept late, took naps and had a few adult beverages {wink}.

We stayed in the cassita section of the hotel which was really private and separate from the main hotel. We stayed in a little "hut" which was about 8 steps from the beach. Our room had a hot tub, a bath tub AND an outdoor shower. We used the outdoor shower everyday. So Cool!!!

There were about 20 pools and the one near us snaked around to our back patio. I got such a tan. Jerad too. We are already planning our next trip. Now, bring on Christmas. Hugs

Girls Houston Getaway 2010

WOW!!!! Could it be as fun as last year? Would we all get along? Could we stay busy? Ummmm, SHUT UP, of coarse we could and we did. I never dreamed we could have so much fun, or laugh soooooo hard. I will never see a carnival again without thinking of each of you :) Shiner Cheer, pappasitos margaritas and pink punk cosmos were a BIG BIG hit. Three projects from the FABULOUS Janet Hopkins. Late nights, Texas BarBQ, and more shopping than the average person can stand. Keely shouting "Just one more picture and that's it". Shari, giving Reagan the most AMAZING quilt I have EVER seen, made from her baby clothes. Oh and you are the queen of mixology. Susan, knocking people down for her morning Starbucks :) Carolyn, you just can't make that stuff up. Really!!!!! Ann, can I be honest? You made our group complete. Thanks for taking that leap of faith. So glad you came. Christa is a shitty friend but other than that, YOU ROCK Christa :) I love each of you more than you will ever know. Tanya, I missed you my BFF terribly. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!

PS. Don't take a chance on getting sober :) Enjoy the pics. PSS....check out the lady behind Ann in the first picture. She is NOT feeling it :) Hugs

Kit Of The Month Pages

Well, I was up this month for Kit of The Month at By Design Scrapbbook and these are the pages I came up with. Had a great time doing them. Felt good to work with paper. My friend Janet Hopkins will be coming to Houston to teach and 6 of my VERY BEST GIRLFRIENDS will be here to take classes with me. I am just giddy thinking about it!!!! Have a good week, Hugs.

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Time for our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch!!!! I love doing this and my kids tolerate it very well. They sit still for all of the photos and LOVE to search for that perfect pumpkin. So much fun to watch them circle the pumpkins and examine the stem. The color has to be just right and you can only buy what you can carry. My mom goes with us every year and then takes us out to lunch. It is a tradition I look forward to every year. What is your favorite Halloween/Fall tradition? Hugs

My Baseball Boy

Roman is playing T-Ball with the Pearland Dad's Club. He is having soooo much fun!!! He really loves the sport. He is happy to practice and he LOVES game day. He and the other kids are taking turns trying all of the positions. On Saturday, he was asked to try catcher. He stopped the ball and even got someone out at homeplate!!!!! He hit the ball twice and "drove" in a run :) It is so much fun to watch them play. He even got the GAME BALL at the end of the game. One of the other moms took these photos for me. Aren't they GREAT. Hugs
