MILs 50th part 2

After going to back to our hotel we found out that a Pen convention was going.

I had no idea that there was such a thing. Things people get there motors running for.

Don't you just love it....Shopping bags and drinks, that's how we roll. LoL

 

OOTNight KiKi LaRue jeggins they are the best jeggins I have ever put on these hips. I cant explain how comfy and stretchy and what a great quality they are I have a black and blue and just order more colors. I got the top from a local boutique Bayou Gypsy. The shoes I adore are from my fave designer Jessica Simpson who I call JSimps. Oh don't mind MIL she has had a few to many dranks and cant figure out which piece of luggage is hers. I kid



 

We were lucky enough to have a wonderful Riverfront Steakhouse in our hotel we didn't have to go anywhere. After we got showered and put together we headed down to the lobby bar for some cocktails. I don't know but I seem to think people in Little Rock makes drinks like nobodies business.

Riverfront Steakhouse It was so good as you can see there was no dieting taking place

I got the Lobster and Steak w sweet potato fries, MIL got shrimp Alfredo with mushrooms and baked potato, SIL got surf and turf with garlic mashed potatoes.

We all loved it and the atmosphere are excellent as well. 



Now that is what I call a full day up at 5am and bedtime around midnight. Whew we were some tires chickas. The next morning we slept in and couldn't get our lazy selves up and the fact that it was drizzling outside didn't get us motivated. We decided to be lazy and order room service in our pjs.

When our room service arrived around 11am we were hoping for some delicious brunch. Needless to say it didn't go as planned it was awful and didn't even eat..yuck we threw that mess out the door in a hurry. I had to walk down and buy us all some drinks due to the fact that our room service drinks were so watered down. I will say that was the worse of our trip everything else was perfect. Finally around 1pm we made it out and onto the Park Plaza Mall. As soon as we got there we headed straight to the food court. Went into Sephora of course and after picking up a few things we headed to Winter Jam which was a cluster from hell to say the least. Being that we had passes we were able to get in 3:30pm ahead of regular people at 5pm. There was going to be a VIP line at a side door blocked off but since peeps cant follow directions it didn't work that way thankfully this lovely youth pasture with a VIP pass headed up a path through the crazy rude people and got us all in like we were supposed to. While going through all the rude crazies I vowed that this would be my one and only time to ever attend winter jam. We got in found us amazing seats since the public wasn't allowed in yet.

Around 5 they let the cows in and it got crazy we just watched the madness.

 Around 5:15 it was started with pre-concert bands.

 

 NewSong and I

 

tobyMac is who I was most excited about

In March 2006 I first heard him at Women of Faith event at this exact same place and now I am seeing him live. Couldn't believe how crazy that was.

 

 

It was a blast now ready to go back.

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.

Name that Cow

Alright bloggers Nicole @ Prairie Princess and I have got a fun filled treat for you and you could possibly pick up some great prizes also. We have come together and are letting you choose a name for our cow. Head on over here to check out all of the details and let the fun begin also be back the first of April and I will be doing the same thing.


I know I have been mia lately but I hoping to get back to the blogging world in a week or so if not I know I will be back on track first of April.

Weight Loss fail

Well needless to say between these 5lbs Ive been yo-yoing I cant seem to get this whole loss thing on the weight loss journey. I know my workout is on point but my eating is the reason why. I cant seem to eat good and the thought of  healthy eating just makes me want a girls scout cookie.

 

 Now that I have that figured out Im going to try to not deprive myself and then over eat Im going to try eatng what I want staying within my calorie goal but portion control so Im not starving myself or making me miserable. We shall see how this works but Im not starting until Tuesday because we are going out of town for my Mother in Laws 50th birthday and we all know you cant diet on a girls trip.

Yes I so killed it Monday but I paid for it the whole 2 days afterwards. So if  I can get my eat under control I think I will have the results I want.

Life these days

Life has picked up in the crazy busy area lately.

With Maci finished up with basketball softball is in full swing

 

The Farmer is assistant Coach so I captured this great shot with him and her

 

It is still freezing outside we are trying to stay bundled up I'm ready for warm weather

Also the school is having an a 1st-6th grade basket ball so Maci wants to play and Mauri is playing so practice starts this week while we have softball practice and drive an hour for hitting lesson for all 3 kidos so I'm on the go and will not stop until the first of April. Help me Jesus what was I thinking?

I am still working out but not eating good so I haven't lost a single pound but I'm going to keep on keeping on but man this really sucks!!!
