Funny Stories

I have decided that I am the worst blogger ever. I have always, unsuccessfully, tried to keep a journal/diary. My good intentions usually die with the hustle and bustle of life. But, I do seem to try and come back and update the missing months or years. In this case, I am updating the several months since Bree's Cowgirl birthday.

A run down from most recent of the latest and greatest in our household:

• I am 5 months pregnant with baby #2 and have just found out that we are having a boy!
• Dallas was iced-in over the Super Bowl weekend. We had four days of school off in a row. A first!
• We celebrated our good friends 30th birthday in Las Vegas. We went to the Bellagio Spa for a wonderful day of pampering. Also, Mike and I skeptically went to a dance club with bottle service, something we felt should be left to the young 20 somethings of the world. However, I can't even describe how much fun we had. Mike definitely had a blast!
• Mike and I celebrated 5 years of marriage with a weekend trip to Cowtown Fort Worth. We stayed at the Omni and ate a delicious little Italian restaurant in downtown. We had a romantic little getaway that was tons of fun.
• Christmas was bittersweet. Missing Ann was hard; this was the first Christmas without her. We hosted a wonderful celebration at our house with our new furniture from Ikea.
• We remodeled our living room. We painted the paneling, bought new furniture, a cabinet, and the prized possesion the mounted television above the fireplace.
• We spent Thanksgiving with Mike's Wisconsin relatives. Also, this was Bree's first plane ride. It was so much fun. Getting to see the family, eat, and enjoy card games!
• Since I didn't get to have a huge 30th celebration last year, my friends Lynette, Casandra, and Sable joined me for a weekend in San Antonio. We ate, went to the clubs, and enjoyed a nice spa day and the Mokara spa! It was a wonderful weekend.
• Our annual Birthday season enjoyed the addition of Bree's first Birthday. Which is where I left off last.
