Oh Baby, Baby...

This past weekend, I celebrated the babies of two of my sweetest, closest gal pals, Annie Hunt and Liesel Rios. Saturday, we had a shower for Annie and baby girl Hunt. Hattie Hunt (love the alliteration) will make her debut the beginning of September.Annie is seriously so beautiful pregnant and I cannot wait to meet the newest Disney Princess. It was also so fun to have Jill in town this past weekend all the way from Colorado!





Baby Moses Rios came to Big D along with his beautiful mommy, Liesel this week. Motherhood definitely agrees with Liesel. I had so much fun meeting this handsome, handsome little man. He has the cutest dimples I have ever seen and Ryann seemed to think so too. Wish the Rios family lived closer.

Medieval Times and First Trip to the Zoo

One of Mark's life long dreams was to go to Medieval Times. Not Really. But,he has always wanted to go...so my parents made his dream a reality and we celebrated our family's April Birthdays with a Belated Medieval Times Bash. Happy Belated Birthday Mark, Jason, and Read!!
It was so incredibly cheesy and so much fun! Our knight was much more interested in his flowing hair than fighting...which provided us lots of laughs.
Ryann did not attend this bash...but definitely got an awesome princess hat and scepter from Pappy and Lulu as a souvenir




Ryann had her first trip to the zoo last month. We had a great time with Lulu and the animals. Ryann didn't show much love for the B team animals but was postitively giddy when she saw the elephants, monkeys, and the giraffes

Ryann loved the petting zoo

Let's Potty!

I need help, all you fellow toddler mamas. Ryann is somewhat interested in the potty now and I am going to go buy one of those little training pottys. Is one better than the other? or all they all the same? Being a first time mom, I have no idea! Any suggestions?

Junction and Baby Jesus

For the past week, Ryann has wrapped herself up in a blanket and called herself "Baby Jesus". She does this several times a day and wants Mark to hold "Baby Jesus" and refer to her as only "Baby Jesus"....hmmmm


We went down to my parent's property in Junction, Tx Memorial Day weekend and had a blast. Ryann loves to be outside and the weather was perfect. She also had her first s'more, which she enjoyed thoroughly.

when Ryann tastes something she finds delicious, she is very dramatic and closes her eyes...this is her doing this when she tasted a marshmello for the first time

who's excited about this one?!?! I am, I am!!

Amazing Race

Mark and I are huge dorks and not afraid to admit it. Last week,I heard that The Amazing Race TV show was having an open casting call on May 2 in Grapevine. Mark and I decided to go. We love the show and always say that we want to be on it. SO SAD to see the day before the casting call, that it was cancelled. BOO!!!!!
We still decided to make our audition tape and fill out the super long application. I mailed it in yesterday. We definitely know that there is ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of us making it, but it was still so fun to apply. Thanks so much to Matt and Angie Wood for helping us edit our tape. It is so incredibly stupid and ridiculous, I can't believe I let them see it, that's true friendship:). If I were a more secure person, I would post it. But,alas, I am not. Just know, that there is a choreographed dance routine:) Knowing that NOTHING will come from this, we had so much fun applying. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Mark is a great husband, he is really is the funniest person I know. I love him.

That man is not my babydaddy

Ryann has been calling any man she sees "daddy" lately....which makes for some awkward situations. Today we were in line at the post office and Ryann was dancing/twirling. She stopped mid-twirl and turned behind me and said to a very nice, African American man..."Come on, Daddy let's dance. C'mon Daddy dance, dance" The man seemed startled at first and then laughed it off saying,"Oh, I dance....but just not in a post office"
Such a nice man
Such an odd kid (sometimes);)
