New York Day 1

We had the best time in New York!  The B’s were the best hostess and host in the whole wide world!  I know Terence and I would have been running around the city like two chickens with our heads cut off if it weren’t for them.  They have such a cute apartment and live in a great little neighborhood in New York.
Sum and I have been blog friends for almost 4 years now.  It meant so much to finally…after all these years meet her.  It should have happened a long time ago, but I’m just glad it happened at all!  She’s just as wonderful and awesome in person as I thought she would be!  She’s my triplet and I love her so much!  🙂
Terence and I started off the morning at 4:00 am to get to the airport in Dallas on time.  Our flight left at 6:00 am.  I thought I was going to literally die because there was NO Starbucks in the airport and it was so early!  Hello???  What airport terminal doesn’t have Starbucks these days?  When we finally landed in Chicago there was a Starbucks there.  Unfortunately we had an hour and a half delay and then found out our flight was re-routed to Pittsburgh for GAS!  Oh boy!  When we finally landed in New York we had our first experience in a cab and it was crazy!  Terence just kept laughing at the way they drive.  He said “Staying in your lane is not the law here it’s a suggestion.”  It would be our first of many cab rides….
This is like 2 minutes after we walked into the B’s apartment….I think we were both in shock that we were finally meeting each other 🙂 
They took us to a fabulous pizza place that night.  I’m telling you this pizza was SO good!
I don’t know why I look like a doof in this picture, I was just being silly!
The B’s
Okay….now I am really really missing this pizza……
After dinner we got cupcakes and walked home in the snow and hail.  It was a full blown hail storm with lightening and everything!  It was CRAZY!  Thankfully that was the only night the weather was koo koo and the rest of our stay in New York it was just cloudy and cold.  The sun peaked through the clouds occasionally.  I am telling you I ate my weight in cupcakes on this trip!  We walked a ton, but I don’t think it did any good because I ate so many sweets!

Day 2 coming tomorrow…..
These are going to be some LONG posts because I think we took around 300 pictures! Yikes!
Thank you B family we had the best time and we love ya!

A Bachelorette, A Birthday, and Vacation!

It was wiiiindy up on the rooftop!!!

This past weekend I attended a bachelorette party for Lauren, a co-worker and friend of mine.  The gals I work with are crazy and a lot of fun.  We had a great time and it was nice to get out and have a little girl time for this Momma 🙂

Lauren & Cassie
 This is the bachelorette Lauren

 I also wanted to remember Miss Arielle’s 1st birthday….

 Connor and Arielle spend every day during the week together and are very close.  They were born a day apart and are almost like twins.  We are so thankful for the time they get to spend together.

The Year we all turned 30

Terence’s best friend since elementary school, Kyle, turned 30 tonight.  We celebrated dining on Kyle’s favorite food….Mexican.  Kyle has always been a very special friend to Terence, and I’m thankful that he has such a good friend!  Happy birthday Kyle we love ya!

 This picture was taken over 10 years ago at the lake by me 🙂 
A place you’ll see Kyle about 300 days out of the year!
Yes-they love each other what can I say??? ha.ha..
 Connor loves some Mexican rice!  It was finger licking good 😉
And 5 seconds later…..

Rockin my Red Shoes

Connor got some new red shoes last weekend.  He thinks he is something else when he has big boy shoes on.  Now that he’s a walker and all (well sometimes).  I just wanted to snap a few photos for memories because he was looking so cute in his new shoes 🙂

Swing Momma?

Up Up Up

So sweet…I never want to forget him at this age. 

I love you sweet boy, even if you have been totally out of it because of the time change this week.  He’s not been wanting to go to sleep at night and when I wake him up in the mornings he is like a floppy bunny because he DOES not want to wake up.  Which makes Terence & I SO.TIRED.

Last night we visited Terence’s Granddaddy in the hospital.  He’s having another surgery on his head this week.  If you would keep our sweet Grandaddy in your prayers we would really appreciate it.  We love you Granddaddy!!!

GET WELL SOON!!!

Skidders Socks & Shoes

Connor and I recieved some really cool socks and shoes called “Skidders“. 
Innovative and hassle-free, Skidders introduces a new way to wear socks and shoes.

About Skidders:

A durable, non-slip outsole and cushioned insole will comfort and protect his/her feet during indoor and outdoor adventures. You will appreciate the pull-on design for easy on-and-off ability and she will appreciate the effortless cool look that little kids crave. Keep feet comfortable and stylish as our upper designs are colorful without the constraint of shoes. Our lightweight outsole provides the stability, flexibility, and traction that new walkers need.

Connor got some Skidders shoes & socks.  First of all let me say how CUTE they are!  Connor is just starting to walk and he falls a lot!  We have hardwood and tile floors & those can be very slick for a new walker to manouver on.  These have a gripper on the bottom of the sock and it’s almost impossible for him to skid around & they are so easy to get on and off.

Look how cute the camo shoes are!
This is what the bottom of the Skidders socks look like
Skidders even has adult sized socks with grippers for ME too!
I’m loving this leopard print…so cool right?  I slip and fall more than I’d care to admit…ha…ha…so I think I’m going to like wearing these 🙂  Thank you Skidders for our stylish new socks and shoes!
