Tom, Joyce and I having dinner on the beach

David and I went to go visit his Dad and Joyce in Vero Beach, Florida. I was only able to stay for a week and David stayed for two weeks. It was very important that he stayed the extra week to spend his dad's 50th birthday with him. We had a wonderful trip. Ken and Joyce always go out of their way to make our visit so pleasant. During our trip, we had many great dinners made by Joyce and Ken. One night, Joyce made homemade Lasagna and it was so YUMMY!! We took the "Kelly's Girl" boat out for an afternoon ride. We anchored and had some awesome Cuban sandwiches. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean water and went for a nice dip. David's grandpa came over to visit for a couple of days. It is always so nice to see Tom (FYI: the sweetest grandpa in the world). We also got to meet Kevin's girlfriend Erica for the first time and that was a pleasure as well. I can't forget the bathing suit shopping that Joyce and I did. I found a new one at JCPenney's and I think Joyce got two there and one at Target. Ken and Joyce took us to Orlando for the day to Blizzard Beach Water Park. We met Kevin there and we made a wonderful day of it. It was so much fun!! I did most all the rides, but the guys could not convince me to do the Summit Plummet (sp). It was a straight down slide, that you can get speed up to 55+ miles per hour. No, thank you and not to mention the wait was close to two hours. The last night that I was there, we decided to play left, right and center. It was such a fun and easy game, especially if you are having a couple of drinks along with it. We also got to meet Toni and Tilly for the first time. They are Ken and Joyce's keeshonds. They are beautiful and I can't wait for them to meet Katie and Lacey at Christmas. We had the best time and wish it did not come to an end so fast, but we are looking forward to seeing you guys at Christma

Happy Birthday to us!!!!

My father-in-law and I have the same birthday. Unfortunately, we could not spend it together because I had to come back home a week before David. I want to wish the best Dad and Father-in-Law in the world a Happy 5-0 today. I hope you and David had a great time hanging out all day. Also, I can't believe 30 is creeping up on me so fast. I am 28 years old today!!!

Everything is normal!!

I have been out of town for the past week visiting Ken and Joyce in Florida, so I have lots of updates and pictures to come shortly. Also, I will put up pictures from Jason and Sarah's engagement party. But, I wanted to update that I got my blood work back and everything is normal with that, too. So, it looks like David and I will just pray that the next time around we have a healthy baby :)

Mini-Reunion

My good friend Bernadette came in town from Dallas to visit family and friends. So, we planned a girls night out to Shotgun Dan's pizza. Bernadette wanted to eat somewhere that she does not have in Dallas. It was great to catch up with everyone. We can't believe that our 10-year high school reunion is coming up. Joslin, Katie, Starla and Bern just wanted to let you all know that I had a great time and we will have to do it again soon :) Also, congrats to Bernadette and her husband Will, they are expecting little Jaxon the first of January!!

One test down, one more to go!!

Well, I just got great news from my doctor. The chromosome testing is complete and everything looks perfect. David and I are very relieved. Also, the baby was a little girl. My doctor said that most people do not want to the know the gender, but for some reason I just really wanted to know. I have blood work on Thursday and that should take about 2 weeks to get back, so if that is normal the doctors believe that the two miscarriages are just a fluke and we should try again soon.

Our Weekend!!

David loves going to the lake!!

Dam Site and Blue Sky

My sweet babies!!

David and I had such a relaxing weekend. We had Morgan and Scott over for dinner on Friday night. Morgan is one of my good friends from college. We had so much fun catching up and a having dinner. Thanks for coming over Morgan and Scott, we need to do it again soon. On Saturday morning, David went to play golf and I think I slept in until 9am. Then, on Saturday night we went to see Stephen King's 1408 movie. I did not really care for it, but it was David's turn to pick and he loves scary movies :) We were hoping for a beautiful day on Sunday and we finally got one, so we headed to Heber Springs for the day. We put the boat in at the dam site and we had a blue sky all day!!! I think this is the first so far this summer, we always seemed to get a least a rain shower!! So, the pictures I attach explain our weekend in for the most part. Katie and Lacey have figured out that floating on the raft, is so much easier than doing the doggy paddle.

David's mom came to visit!!!

Lesley came to visit David and I for several days last week and we stayed very busy. It had been several years since she made a visit to Arkansas, so it was neat to her to get to see our house (she has only seen pictures of the final product). We began by taking her to Cheers when we picked her up from the airport and we had some dinner and just got to catch up on everything. Then on Wednesday we went TV shopping, she is in the market for a new television, so David showed her the pros and cons of the televisions at BestBuy. We then had a cookout and went to Lake Willastein in Maumelle to watch the fireworks. The next day we went to visit the Clinton Library. It was very neat and I was very impressed with the architectural job. We then went to have lunch at the "Flying Fish", which is one of my favorite restaurants. On Friday we took Lesley to Greers Ferry and went out on the boat for the day. I think this was her favorite by far, it so beautiful there, how can you not love it. We got rained on, but we made the most of it and just anchored up and had a little picnic on the boat with the top up.

In the next couple of weeks we have a very busy schedule, so I will have lots of posting to do.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

David and I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July. David's mom just got in town tonight and will be visiting through Sunday. So, we will post pics of her visit :)

At the hotel on Sunday morning

My little Katie Bug

This past weekend David and I went to Greers Ferry lake. I wanted to make a weekend of it, so I called every hotel in the area to see which ones accepted pets. I finally found on in Clinton, it was a Best Western and it was only $65/dollars per night, so I reserved it for Saturday night. We left early Saturday morning and the weather was gorgeous at the time. We picked Sarah up in Conway because she was meeting Jason up there at Sugarloaf for the annual Camperee (spelling??) for the Knights of Columbus. We put the boat in at Choctaw and we won't even go there. David and I are still trying to find a plan of action to put the boat in, since I am not comfortable controlling it while he is parking. We are usually in his truck and I can't drive a standard. I wished I would of learned that early, but oh well. Once, we got on the water, it was beautiful, so we went and picked up Jason and Sarah and went over to a cove and swam and just pretty much relaxed for awhile. Well, the next thing we know lightning bolts and thunder are coming out of nowhere, well we didn't have time to get back to the campgrounds, so we just rode it out. It is funny now that I look back on it. David and Jason used my cheap air raft to keep the rain from coming in from the side, it was hilarious. But, then the rain stopped and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. Well, around 6ish we headed to the hotel, got settled and ordered some pizza. Lauren, we bought phase 10, but did not play it we were way too tired. So, the night was horrible because Katie and Lacey were restless all night, doing this muffle bark that kept me awake. I got up several times to take them outside to go to the bathroom and it was pouring down rain. On Sunday morning, it looked like it was going to rain, but we decided we would go out to the water for a short time, well I walk out to load the bags in the car and you can see what I saw in the picture that I took. We headed back home and just relaxed the rest of the weekend. This weekend, we have a few going to the casino with us, since I have a free room. I will let you know if we win the "JACKPOT".

Golf Tournament for Charlotte Mulhearn

My friend Susan's niece is awaiting a heart transplant at Arkansas Children's Hospital. She's only 4 weeks old (born May 29, 2007). A benefit golf tournament will be held on August 6 at the Centennial Country Club in Conway to help with medical expenses. If you're a golfer get your team all set up. If you are not a golfer then you can donate money, prizes or sponsor a hole. Check out the site about the tournament www.golfforcharlotte.com and also Charlotte's site www.caringbridge.org/visit/charlottemulhearn to keep up with her progress. Thanks in advance for your help!! Please pray for baby Charlotte.

Hanging out at Cajuns' with Sarah

Sarah and I needed a girl's night out really bad. We decided on Cajuns Thursday night, since the deck was open. We had a great time hanging out and not to mention the two hours of dancing our booties off :) I had a great time with you Sarah and I love you so much!!! I am so lucky to have such a great little sister!!

Let's make a deal!!

For those of you that don't know, David loves golf. He would play it seven days a week if he had a perfect life. Well, this past Saturday he wanted to practice his putting, so we both decided to play. Keep in mind that I am using a right-handed golf club and I am left-handed. So, we had a putting contest. David put several pieces of tape from different distances in our garage and he had some golf thing (I have no idea what it is called and it catches your golf ball). So, I got a few practice rounds. Well, let's say I did not need those. We stayed tied through much of the game, but Lacey and Katie kept trying to catch and stop the balls, they thought it was a game for them. So, in the end I won and my prize was a 60-minute massage given by my husband. So, I decided to use different time increments, I am down to 30 minutes. So far I think my feet are the only parts of my body (it's my favorite) that I have used my time on. I am thinking of saving the rest for when I start running next week because I will probably be so sore. This weekend we are off to Greers Ferry for a weekend boating trip. I put a veto on camping in a tent, it is too HOT!!! Luckily, I got reservations in a hotel that accepts pets in Clinton, so we will just put the boat in at Choctaw. So, I really want to go get some fun board games for David and I to play once we head back to the hotel. The only game I have is Skipbo and I wore that out on our last cabin trip. So, any suggestions would be great :)
