Girls Trip!!

So, several of us from WRBC decided it was time for a girls weekend trip! The guys go away on two camping trips each year, so it was our turn to leave. We went to CANTON on April 1 and 2. We had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! We stayed at this VERY "rustic" lodge/cabin. We laughed ALOT about how it looked and smelled, but it worked out perfect and held all 6 of us very comfortably! We went on Friday afternoon and shopped a bit, and ate a yummy Mexican dinner. Saturday morning we ate in downtown and then made our way to the Grounds, and shopped ALL DAY! 3 of the girls were too tired and had to leave about 3:00, but us other 3 lasted several more hours. We finally got home Saturday night, and husbands and kiddos were VERY happy to see their mommies! I really LOVE all these ladies! We had so much fun, just having ladies talk, and discussing ALL the great things God has done in our lives! Andrea and Tiffany Car #1 Clarire, Andrea, me

Breakfast in downtown. Ready to SHOP!

Update

As of last week, I can WALK freely again!
Doctor said
I could go without the crutches, unless it was a long walk, or somewhere where there could be a slick/wet floor to fall on.
My leg is 85% healed the dr reported. Wahoooo!!

I go back in 3 weeks for hopefully the last round of X-rays.
For now, I'm doing physical therapy several times a week, and hoping to get back my strength and range of motion VERY soon.
There is still pain, but its caused from all the scar tissue.

Thank you for all your prayers.
I'm so thrilled to be a happy, mobile wife and mommy again!

Halloween 2010!!!

We had a fun filled Halloween weekend! Saturday night we attended an 80's theme party hosted by our dear best friends in Cleburne. After church on Sunday, we watched football and napped, and then it was time to trick or treat!! I must say....MY ladybug was the CUTEST ladybug out there! There were random people asking if they could take her picture! :-)

Our totally 80's costumes!!



A few of the ladies.....




Mommy so proud of her little ladybug after 2 hours of trick or treating!

Almost home and she was just too worn out to walk anymore!

Old and New

As you know, I had a silly accident on August 28th. A simple little fall, yet I managed to fracture my tibia in 2 locations. The first 10 days were PURE pain, but each day the pain seems to get better, although each night is not fun from the all day pressure.

So, being on crutches, and in an immobilizer, I am VERY limited to what I can do. I can't cook, clean house, do laundry, or even buy groceries. I can't play with Reagan, bathe her, or pick her up from daycare. While I am missing my angel like CRAZY, I am oh so glad to see her bond with her daddy growing stronger!!

This little girl has always been my absolute JOY. She was a miracle, and not a day goes by that I dont thank God for blessing us with her.

She has definitely been a "mommy's girl", but with this injury, I am LOVING how Reagan is now so intrigued with daddy.

It really does make me tear up to watch them interact. I cannot give enough thanks to God for both of them. They are my WORLD.

I just wanted to share some old pictures that make my heart so happy every time I look at them.

I LOVE my Reagan and my great husband!!!

enjoy the pictures!

VACATION!!!!!!!!
We decided it was way, way past time for us to take some time off work. We needed to refersh our minds, so we took the week off. It worked out perfectly, because princess had vacation also, because daycare was closed.
Since our anniversary was on Monday, we wanted to have a couple days away for some quiet time. Princess got to stay with nana and papaw.
We stayed at a lovely new hotel in New Braunfels. We were so tired the first day from driving and shopping, so we went to Gruene for dinner. We ate on the river, it was so pretty.
Monday morning we went on a zipline tour in Wimberley. It was incredible!! 150 feet abive ground and going 35 mph. It was very adventerous! After the ziplines, we went to "float the river" after renting tubes. The water was high and VERY cold!
After being in the water for 4 hours, we cleaned up and went to our anniversary dinner. It was a quiet, elegant place in downtown. It was super yummy!! Great food AND wine!
On Thursday, we wanted to have a family day out, because Wednesday we hing out at home. We went to the Dallas aquarium, and princess LOVED the birds(more than fish).
After seeing the fish, we went to look at "big girl beds". Well, she found a low-to-the ground bed that she loved. We bought it for her, and bright colored bedding.
On Friday, we re-arranged her room, and put in her brand new bed! She was oh so excited! i will soon post pics of her in her bed.
We'll get to end our vacation week by going to church and then to the waterpark for church baptisms!!
