Pink!

Saturday morning (EARLY) myself, my mom, Bella, Tori and my cousin, Melanie headed to Houston to meet up with Donna and participate in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. It's a 5K, so not too bad, you would think. We got to Houston around 7, got parked and went off to find Donna in the midst of 32,000 other people. We did manage to find her pretty easily, which is a miracle.

The walk was alot of fun, but it was so crowded. You had to walk pretty slowly and just after the mile marker B started wanting out of the stroller and had just had enough (it took over an hour just to walk a mile because of all of the people!). We crossed over and walked the mile back and walked through the finish line. It was an awesome sight to see all of the Survivors and everybody out there supporting the cause. They had a special finish line for the Survivors. They would walk down a path and people were slapping their hands and then they had their own little archway to cross. They got lots of freebees too. I got pics of my mom going through the Survivor Path and I was so proud for her.

THE END!! :)

We're ready!

Sunday we took the trailer out to the lease and got it all set up. Everything seems to work really good and the generator runs everything at once, which we were a little worried about.

We are headed out there Friday night to stay the weekend in it. I am looking forward to it except that I have a crappy head cold and not sure if I am going to feel like doing anything...but, I don't have much of a choice. Saturday is my birthday and it's also the Burnett Reunion. I am pretty sure that my mom has a little something planned for me there or else I would be tempted to skip it all together.

So..here are a couple pics. They were taken with my phone so they are kinda crappy quality.

Yay!!

We bought a travel trailer last weekend!! We have been looking for a couple of months and finally found something perfect for us!

I'll be back next week with pics...because I am too lazy to post them now.

This weekend me, Bella, my mom and several thousand others will be walking in the Susan G. Komen breast cancer walk in downtown Houston. We are all super excited about it. I had B the cutest shirt made to surprise my mom with. I am sure lots of tears will be shed.

Be back soon....

My Girl!

This weekend I spent the entire weekend thoroughly enjoying my girl.

Saturday Calvin went to the deer lease early and B and I stayed behind. We played, watched Yo Gabba Gabba, ate grapes and took a nap. It was AWESOME (as DJ Lance would say)!!




Sunday I cooked...all day. And Calvin watched football...all day. And B followed me around. I made a big breakfast. For lunch I made homemade pizza dough and then made a big supreme pizza. Afterwards I baked pecan pie muffins. For dinner I made bbq and my parents and Tori joined us. After that, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I had a couple of fall recipes I was wanting to try out...so I did and then I sent it all home with my mom so Calvin and I wouldn't eat it!

Last night after everyone left, I bathed Bella. After she got dressed she wanted Daddy to hold her for a bit and then wanted down. She proceeded to come sit by me on the couch and fell asleep by herself, immediately. I should have known something was up. When she started fussing in her sleep I picked her up and I could tell she had fever. It was about 100. I gave her some Tylenol and went and crawled in bed with her. She woke up about 3 with more fever so she got Motrin and went back to sleep. Her dad stayed home with her today and so far she has been fine. Hopefully it was just a quick bug that will not be back. I don't like my baby girl being sick.

MDO!

So I enrolled Bella is a Mother's Day Out program at one of the church's in town. Today was her first day. She goes from 9-2 so I am waiting to hear what her teacher's say when my mom goes to pick her up. I took her this morning and she did really well. She whined a little at first and when the other kids starting getting there she seemed to get more comfortable. I went to go sign paperwork and I heard her start crying but they gave her the paci and when I went back to check on her she was sitting in a teacher's lap and looking at a book. I snuck off and didn't even get to take a good pic of her. I did take this one on our way in, which is a sucky pic but I at least wanted something of her first day.

Moody Gardens Trip!

We left out early Friday morning (9/10) and headed to Galveston. Miss Priss slept the entire way there, which made for a good ride for us! After we got checked in we rested in the room for a bit. We ordered some snacks from room service and then changed into our swimsuits and headed to the pool.

Bella LOVES the water....loves it. She is not scared of it one bit either, which is scary for me. She just squeals and laughs the entire time. Did I mention the pool had a swim-up bar? Well, it did. Enough said. We stayed out there a few hours and then headed back to the room for showers and to get ready for dinner.

Our hotel was super nice and had a few restaurants in it so we decided just to eat there. We may or may not have also stopped in the lounge on the way to dinner for a little drinkie-drink. It was awesome!

We headed back up to the room and we all crashed!

We got up way too early the next morning and headed down for breakfast and then strolled around outside until it was time for B's morning nap. After she woke up from that we headed over the the Aquarium.

Bella loved seeing all of the sealife..and all of the kids. We also took a ride on the Paddleboat. It went around the bay for about an hour. Bella found some friends on the boat to play with.

After that we headed back to the room for another nap and then back to the pool for some more fun in the water!

We decided to finally leave the hotel and had dinner at Fish Tails.

The next morning I did not want to leave. It was so nice to be able to just hang out with my little family and not worry about housework, etc. We all had such a good time together and can't wait to do it again!

I Officially Suck at Blogging!

Life just gets in the way sometimes :)

Today is our anniversary...4 years. Seems alot longer though. We are headed to Moody Gardens tomorrow to spend the weekend. I can't wait for our little get away.

Little B is growing up into a sweet, sassy little girl. She has been off the bottle for 2 weeks. She pretty much gave it up on her own. Such a big girl! She's about to get 2 more top teeth. She is a climber too. I swear, we can barely keep this girls feet on the ground.
