Mothers Day

What a great Mothers Day!! Hillary came home, we went to my very favorite restaurant ever…Maestros in Chicago, and I got my new iphone 5C!!  woo Hoo!!  Im super excited about that.  We really had a great day.  Hillary came home Saturday night and stayed til Monday morning.  We all got up and went to church together.  Hillary got up especially early to go get me a Starbucks first thing…Love!  the Weather was great and it was just a wonderful day!  then to top it off, Jackie came by for dinner on Monday on her way back to school.  So I got see 3 out of the 4 kids!  

How in the world did these two grow up so fast?  I can't believe how fast time flew by.  the saying "in the blink of an eye" has never hit home so hard as it does when I look at old pictures!

These two have grown up to be the best kids ever!

Here is my life in a one picture!

After dinner, these times are my favorite times….just being together and goofing around!  I am one lucky girl!!

He is my world!

The next race is this weekend, we are Atlanta bound!  We are making a stop in TN on our way to check out the progress of the kitchen.  Im super excited to see how it is coming along.  I never knew it was SO MUCH to organize a remodel!!  Wow.  Every little thing.  but it will be so worth it.  the few pics I have seen already I absolutely Love!! 

Here is what the floor looks like.  I love it so much!!  We put the same down in the motor home and it looks really sharp!

I went with white cabinets, because I have always wanted them.  Plus I really think they look "Lake House ish".

Here is another shot of it.  The doors should be on when we get there this week.  We have the counter coming in a few and a pendant light hanging above that window.  All this needs to be done by June 21 for our big family reunion!!

Day one of Wedding Dress Shopping

What a great weekend!  I hope yours was just as good as mine!  I went wedding dress shopping on Saturday.  Wow!  I can't believe the dresses that are out there!  So pretty, so Beautiful!  It is going to be so hard to decide…  I cried a little when I put one on, But I want to go at least to a few more stores and try a lot more dresses to make sure I find the right one.  The best news of all of the day was that the dresses they had in stock as the demo ones to try on, were fitting me!  OMG!  I couldn't believe it.  There were a few that didn't and they had to improvise, but the 10's and 12's fit, which we all know in reality those are probably 6 or 8's!  I don't know why formal gowns have to run so small!!  I was happy though.  

My sister and I went dress shopping.  Hillary couldn't go so we are going with her later.

This one was the Ariel, from the Disney Fairytale Line.  I didn't really like it a lot, but I loved how it looked on…Doesn't really make sense does it?

This one was pretty too.  I just wasn't feeling it.  Not enough "bling" and sparkle for me.

This is the same one as above only a side view.  it is going to be so hard to pick!  This is only our first day of shopping for one and our first store!

Of course we had to end our day with a Margarita and some chips.  It never tasted so good!  Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Sunday I made stuffed red peppers, only I made some tuna salad with Walden Farms Mayo and wow were they delis!!  I used the red peppers because I like the sweetness of them.  It was super filling and it gave me both my veggies and my protein.  Plus it really filled me up!
