Pillow Talk

This Past weekend Karissa and I threw Mindy a Lingerie Shower. We made it a theme shower with the theme being Pillow Talk an old Doris Day Film.

Traci made super cute invitations letting the guests know it was a costume party. Bring your gloves, pearls and heels!

Vintage Hostesses

Here's the setup! It makes me wish it really was the 1950's!

 

 

Karissa and I had a few more things to finish up before the party started but we looked good doing it! Karissa looks just like a 50's housewife pearls and all and I feel like I came straight from the office of Mad Men!

Mindy arrived looking so Doris Day and the best part was all her accessories were from her Grandma! love it!

Once everyone started to show up we had some virgin martini's made by Karissa that were so good! We also had fondue, shrimp cocktails, gum cigars and everything 50's!

The bride with her sister

The first thing on the agenda was decorating mini three tiered cakes since Mindy had taken a cake decorating class before and she's practically a pro. 

The girl's and their finished cakes with aprons of course!

Normally the rule is you don't post pics of the lingerie shower gifts but this one is too good not to share! 

Hostesses with the Bride

More affection then Mindy was ok with but we just couldn't resist!

So happy for you Mindy! Glad we could share in your special time! And do it while keeping it classy just for you!

Meeting Baby Carson! AKA Watson

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I including little man Kade made a trip up to Arkansas to meet baby Carson!

So here he is PRECIOUS  baby Carson who will also adoringly be referred to as Watson (well sometimes).

Kade took a quick liking to his new BFF.

Love all his hair!

 Saturday we all headed to the Little Rock Farmer's Market with babies in tow. We stopped at this cute little diner for lunch before heading to see some ducks. 

 

 After lunch we walked down to this hotel that has a little duck pond so the boys could see the ducks.

 Group shot including Mr. Carson in his stroller sleeping. 

Donkey and Tonka!

Kade loooved the Elevators! Look at that cute face!

Pic with the new mommy! Looking good Callie!

 After the morning out on the town we went back to the house to let the babies take naps. Later that afternoon we headed out for mani/pedi's. So relaxing!

 

When we got back to the house Carson was up from his nap and it was picture time. 

The two mommies and babies in matching outfits! So sweet!

 

 Our friend Christy (Bifi) from FBC Euless who also happens to live in Little Rock came over with her little girl Piper! 

Group Shot!

Kade and I had a lot of bonding time over the weekend! He's just so cuddly!

  We headed out Sunday morning but had to take one more group shot with the wonderful scenery outside of Callie's house!

 Such a great weekend and makes me wish we all lived so much closer to each other so we could have more weekends like this.

Happy Easter!

 My Dad celebrated his birthday right before Easter so my grandma came in town for a couple weeks which was really fun getting to spend sometime with her. Especially since the two of us love to shop!

For his birthday we went to a new restaurant in grapevine. It was really good and the group just kept growing and growing as the night went on. 

 

My Dad has been trying to eat healthy so I decided to make him chocolate covered strawberries and write Happy Birthday on them. I mean that's kind of healthy right?

 We also experienced a first! Bella had her first grooming experience right before Easter. I wanted to try and keep her cool for the summer so we decided to shave her and go for the lion hair style. Here's a pic of the before and after. She looked so precious with her little Easter bandanna!

 We had a great Easter this year. We tried out a new church close to our house which was really great and then when we got back home we realized it was going to rain soon so we grabbed the dogs and took them to run at the park a little bit so they could use up some of their energy. (especially puggy)

 

Later that afternoon we all went over to my Aunt's house to have a family Easter lunch. 

 We met my sister and mom over there as well.

 

I stinkin love these boys! I haven't seen them as much as I would like to lately so it was great seeing them over Easter!

 

 

The boys decided to try to trick my sister and I by luring us into the playroom where they were waiting armed and ready to shoot us with nerf guns! As you can see Heather was caught a little off guard.

 And last but not least Traci and I got to meet this little guy, Deacon! Our old youth minister, Chuckie, and his family were in town finalizing this little guy's adoption into their family and they had a lunch so all their Texas friends could meet Deacon. He is so sweet and not to mention so stinkin cute!

 As you can see we def. connected!

Gettin our hair did!

 A couple weeks ago Tonka and I had a girl's afternoon out and decided to use our Groupons for the hair bar in Plano. It was a nice pampering time having our hair washed and heads massaged followed by a styling. 

These are the final products...well sort of.

 The lovely tonka aka Traci. 

annnnd then there was mine.. I asked for big texas hair/ kardashian volume and this is what I got! wah wah.

Since we were both pretty disatisfied with my lack of hairdo we went back and asked them if they could fix it and this time they gave me BIG TEXAS HAIR!

The bangs are a little out of control but after about 45 minutess the curls settled in and ended up looking awesome!

Overall fun day with Tonk and all things girlie.
