Weekend Where Abouts

I figured the best way to get caught up on my blog was not to do individual post but to cram them all into one. So here you go:

Weekend Where Abouts

The kids were out of school Friday due to Teachers Conference so that means its a perfect time for a shopping trip. The kids were needing Fall/Winter clothes and the weekends are always crazy this was perfect timing. We headed out for Mississippi early Friday morning and stopped by Starbucks to get a Pumpkin Spice Latte Venti to get us up and going. 

Dogwood Festival Market & Promenade is one of my favorite places to spend a day away from home or a weekend would be perfect. It is only 2 1/2 hours away so its not to bad. While there we can also stop by Northpark Mall and Renaissance. Its tons and tons of shopping all within minutes of each other. With that many shops we didn't get to go in half of them especially with kids it takes a little longer. Their Target is larger than ours and I could live in Target.

We has lunch at a Mexican place that was heavenly. They def didn't skimp on the food either.

Looking rough...Up at 6am and shopping with kids. Mauri was being very honoree that day.

I know I have a stain dripping down my shirt. Took a sip of my PSL and my lid wasn't on good UHH

While at a kitchen store which are my favorite stores ever I found this cute corncob whisk and was in a pack with a carrot whisk too and can we talk about a huge spatula. My first words when I saw this was OMG how awesome would that be as my new spanking paddle. So I decided to give it a try Saturday morning while making Pumpkin pancakes. 

 

The kids loved making these and were so easy and fun.

 

I got my hair done and went on a different route this time and added in some red freak streaks. I am in love with it and wondering why I didn't do it sooner. We all need freak streaks!

Saturday night we went to eat at River and Rail Cantina had a few drinks, Guacamole and Nachos.

 I know Mexican again yes we love it

Then the haunted house

As soon as we got in line we saw some of our favorite PVA high schoolers. The girls were s lil freaked out watching the craziest run around and scare the people in line while the Sister n Law and I reminisced about our high school Haunted House days. They found out the girls names and would walk up to them and yell their names. They were like they know our names YIKES



We couldn't take any pics inside Christi got her phone out to take a pic and they almost escorted us out. LoL We sent Christi in first and then myself, Maci, Gracie, and Kammie. We all screamed, laughed, and ran. It was so much fun and cant wait to go back!

 

 

Sunday we went to Sunday School and Church then came home and relaxed the rest of the day.



 

That night we got ready for the Broncos vs Colts game and ate Sunday dinner at the In Laws.

Peyton is my #1 yes even beating out Drew Breeze I loved him before anyone knew who Drew was and I love him still. I didn't like the loss but you win some and loose some but some you just want to win because of who they are playing and this was one of them.

I wanted that win more than a super bowl

 

 

MIL's 50th Birthday Getaway

I am up for any reason to have a getaway especially if it includes being kids free. Yes the angels start to sing amen! I love those lil monsters to death but a getaway does my Mommaing duties a world of difference. My MIL is turning 50 March 26th and she wanted to go to WinterJam and saw that it was going to be in Little Rock on the 9th. She got us some sweet VIP passes.

 

Little did she know Christi aka SIL and I had our own surprise up our sleeve for her.

 We had booked a Spa day and had an hour full body massage and hour facial waiting on us.

I had to sneak a picture, I mean what is a blog without pictures?

 

After that we headed to River Market and had a spa deluxe pedi and mani that was so needed.

I know the poor lil lady thought I must have never had one ever, yes they were just that bad.

Excuse the fat thighs

 

Since we obviously worked up an appetite we caught the trolley and headed down River Market and came across Gusanos Pizza. I'm not a pizza fan but at this point it really didn't matter what we ate just as long as we ate. If I could eat pizza like this I would be a pizza lover OMG it was the best!

I just cant even began to describe this without the word heaven in it.

I didn't go totally unhealthy I did stick something healthy in there. Yes the drinks were out of this world too. We went 3 rounds could of put back more but knew we had some shopping to do.

I'm a Amaretto Sour drinker that's my favorite drink without the cherry of course. Hate cherry

 

While I was enjoying my dranksss and good girl gossip I look up to find him staring at me.

I couldn't even take it I mean really? I wanted to shout what tha explicits are you looking at?

 Oh see those doors in th middle of each table they opened up so we could feel the nice 72 degree breeze and people watch. Oh the people watching we did.

 

 

We went for desserts at Brown Sugar Bakery and I was beyond thrilled to find red velvet cupcakes.

I ended up getting a Red Velvet cupcake and a cheesecake Blondie.

 I saved the Blondie for a late night snack. My momma didn't raise no fool child!

I was trying to get a sexy pose so I could send the Farmer but as you can see not so much

 

We rode the trolley around and shopped what little was left of the day.

 

I even saw a real dog walker Ive only seen them in the movies.

While we were taking the trolley back to our hotel I captured this amazing picture of the river.

 I know you can see my head on the top of it but I still love it.

 

to be continued..........



Weekend Where Abouts

Maci had a Basketball Championship so we started off the weekend with that. Although they didn't win they did come in 2nd place overall for our district. The game was so close the whole time and they even went into overtime. I am so proud of her and these girls for all of their hard work.

KiKiLaRue has my outfit in check I'm wearing the Teal Piko top with the Mustard Lenore scarf.

I am also sporting some Summer Pastels nail polish from one of my Birch Boxs.

I just love this color because it reminds me so much of my favorite color Tiffany&CO.  Blue

My friend Stephanie opened up a Bakery and since we were in the area we stopped by Simply Sweet

I have been craving King Cake and this was ok but I like mine with some filling in the inside and this was just plain so I think if it has filling I would give it a 10 out of 10 

 

Now these Red Velvet and Chocolate cupcakes we a 10plus these are amazing! I haven't had these kind of good cupcakes since Curlz Cupcakes closed. I ate way to many over the weekend I not ashamed ate 4 of these and I know I'm going to gain 8 pounds because of this but it was worth every second! These are amazing and I cant wait to try out her cakes.

 

With all of us being on a sugar high we decided to play a game of B-ball. With the kids we have to set some rules because I knew like always someone would end up having a melt down so I set the rules and we all ended up having a great time. It is so fun to see the kidos especially the little kids move this big ball around. Rhett is really good at dribbling and he is such a ball hog, while Mauri is very good at defense and stays right there with him and doesn't give him any room for error.

I know the horse trailer in the yard and not at the barn but we took Bentley to his new rider Big Macie and she will be riding him this whole year. After our Maci  accident  she is no longer interested in barrel racing so we are lending her horse to a high school girl who taught Maci so much and who loves Bentley and we cant wait to see what their year has in store. We still own him and no we will never sell him. We can still see him any time we want and we cant wait to go watch them.  

 

Mauri getting her shots right on point

 

We couldn't skip our Farm chores. I may or may not have had to bribe them to get this picture

 

Sunday we got up at made it to church even though the rain was in full force. Our drive way was under water so we got a flood. I am wanting it to dry up but every time it looks like it is almost dry it comes a pour. My yard is one hot mess and I can not even get anything done due to the fact it is so wet. Our yard is so low that even the slightest rain it floods our yard.

 

 After church we decided to hit up El Chico

This is my cheese dip Queen she eats it with everything and we buy tons for her she uses it as ketchup. She can go through 2 cans a week. You name it she dips it in Cheese Dip

 

Maci thinks she is to big to get her picture took. She said Hello Mom I'm chewing

so this is all I got. I'm not a fan of growing up and that is exactly what she is doing

Her Steak Nachos looks good doesn't it yes it is that's what we all got

 

We couldn't make our going into the city trip complete without a stop at Orange Leaf

 

Fill those cups up

Rhett doesn't know which one to try I think he ended up getting them all in his cup

 

He has a combo for sure but loving it and his favorite part is all the toppings

 

The Farmer and I enjoying every minute of this family weekend.

I can hear the Farm 2013 calling his name not many more weekends with him so we are taking full advantage with him being with us on the weekends.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well. What did ya do Boo?

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Last year while we were in Vegas I spotted blue you know the only color blue that makes you light up and even though you didn't even go in just seeing the color puts peace in your heart. I knew right at that very moment I was destined to own piece of my very own. I had already spent way to much and said to myself I was going to go home save and order it but when I got home ands saved I hoped right online and went to plucking away and something wasn't right..... this isn't what I want I want to be Aubrey Hepburn and walk in and purchase it so that's what I was going to do. So as soon as we got to Vegas I made it very clear that before we left I was going in and conquering my mission. Two days before we left it was time and I have never been so excited I waled in so slowly taking every moment in. I knew exactly what I was getting but I had to do it the right way I walked around looking and admiring every single piece and then when I came across what I went in after I stopped and took a deep breath smiled and got that bad boy! I just checked that off my BucketList and even better than I imagined. Now I cant wait to fil it with charms while I was there I already picked out a few

What is it about these colors that send me over the edge? Im madly in love with these colors. It just gives me peace and happiness.

Who Dat

Its game time!

 

Jerry's House aka Cowboys Stadium

 

Walking the 10 miles to the stadium was exhausting but not as paying 60.00 for parking.

 Are you elfin kidding me really? As if tickets are not enough?

Back to where we were...

I just love this picture I snapped while walking to the stadium 

 

I thought that with all the kids I would get nose bleeds seat so the kids would be out of the craziness and it would be less of a crowd. Well I was bad and I mean bad wrong. It was the worse mistake I have ever made when booking things. It was horrible it was over crowded and higher than what I imagined and I'm not scared of heights I bungee jumped with my dad and uncle when I was in jr high so I'm not scared of heights what so ever but this stadium is built crazy the very top isn't slanted it is straight up I was so terrified the kids were going to fall. But let me back on up see the bald guy well while getting to our seat as the Farmer passed he didn't say anything but when the kids walked by because they were wearing Saints jerseys he had the nerve to call them losers....yes Momma lost it and went 9 kinds of crazy. They are kids are you kidding me?

 

The roof is open and the game is fixing to start 

 

and then the clouds parted and I heard "Hey Nick, Kelli Come on I got yal" It was my cousin I knew he was going to be there with his company his boss was making him take clients to the game but what I didn't know is that he had the hook up of all hook ups. He hooked us up in his Boss suite. We got to watch the game from the luxury suite and we were all in heaven. The view of the game was perfect the kids got to run around in the room while not watching the game they had a bathroom in the room with all the food drinks and liquor you wanted. It was amazing and I thank him so much!

 

Everyone in there was sporting their Cowboys attire we sported Saints attire but it made for an even better game. Who doesn't love friendly competition?

 This is the life

We watched the game while

the girls loved meeting Sunny they were really taking her all in.

Rhett didnt take to her one bit, he will be regretting it in 10 years.

She was so sweet and took so much time with the girls and everyone else in the room.



It was a good game and when they went into over time it got loud

Mauri Laken and Rhett celebrating the Win
