Painting with a Twist...Date Night!

After the Happy Birthday Jesus party, that night, CR and I went on a date...WoooHooo! We decided to go to Painting with a Twist and make a snowman painting. It was SO much fun!

Six Year Anniversary!

We had to celebrate our anniversary a little early this year because we were going to be in Hamburg on our anniversary.  I can't believe it's been 6 years already!! We went to a nice dinner at Superiors and to a movie.

We ordered dessert and this is how they brought it out...

Happy 6 year Anniversary CR!



5 Years...ALREADY??

On June 25, Cecil Ray and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary.  Our plans were to go back to Jamaica but with moving and two little ones that wasn't possible.  So, instead we went to the Gaylord Texan for the weekend while my mom kept the girls.  It was a MUCH needed and relaxing weekend!!  Neither of us had ever been there so we were excited and had several things planned.  I took a lot of pictures...

Our room (yes, there were two beds but we had a "buy and night get a night free" and this was the room)...

 It's really been 5 year??

This is where I wanted to stay the WHOLE time and just relax...

 Thought this was cool... 

 On Friday, we just hung out at the hotel, went to eat at the sports bar while watching the Rangers and went swimming!!

We got up Saturday morning, had breakfast delivered to our room and took our time getting ready.  Then,we headed off to lunch at an AWESOME Mexican restaurant and to the Ranger game...

We picked the hottest day to go to the ballpark I think, it was like 115 outside.  We watched the Rangers play the Astros just like when we were dating!

It's JOSH... 

 Here we are sweating to death (no, really we are)...

After the game, we decided to eat at the "fancy" place at the hotel.  It was fun because we got to get all dressed up...

Grapes growing at the Gaylord in Grapevine, TX...

The hotel was so beautiful...

Later that night, we decided to meet Brooke and Hunter at the movies to see Grown Ups!  It was funny!

Sunday morning we slept in and got up to head back to Mima's to get the girls.

The hotel as we were leaving...

We had such a wonderful time and if hadn't been for Mima keeping the girls it would NOT have been such a relaxing weekend...THANK YOU MIMA!!  Even with all the fun we had we couldn't wait to go get our girls!!

Date Night!!

Last week, Sonya and BJ called and said they were going to keep the girls while we went out for DATE NIGHT.  My first thought was have they lost their minds how wonderful!  So, Tuesday night CR and I got all dressed up for our date...WhooooooHoooooooo!! We went to dinner at Osaka and then to the movies (haven't BEEN to a movie in forever).  We saw "The Last Song" and it was very good!!

We had a BLAST!  Now, I'm not so sure about Sonya and BJ.  You see they had "triplets" basicly.  Trey (their son) is only 2 weeks older than the girls and they kept all three of them.  Sonya wanted to remember the moments with pictures and I'm glad she did...
Gotta love baby jail...

Sippy anyone?

Trey...

Hannah...

Hayley...

Hayley is OBSESSED with burp cloths.  She carries them around in her mouth like a dog and just sucks on them.  Hannah now tries to take them away from Hayley and it turns into a game.  They will start snatching it from eachother and laughing about it...

Sonya with the "triplets"...

When we got home all three of the kids were fed and sleeping!!

We can not thank them enough for our MUCH NEEDED date night!

THANK YOU SONYA & BJ, you are the best friends anyone could ask for...

(This was AFTER we got home and look how good they look...no sweat!)

Mommy & Daddy get a DATE!!

Well, we had a wonderful Friday night.  We got a DATE...WHOOO HOOOOO!!  We have been on dates since the girls have been born for a couple of hours but last night we I was away from them longer than I ever have been...4 1/2 hours!  I finally got to get all dressed up and go out on the town.  Now, Cecil Ray doesn't understand why this is so important and exciting for me to get all dressed up but girls, you understand.  It just makes us feel good!  Anyway, Shawn and Maci came in town to keep the girls so we could have an early Valentine's.  We went to eat dinner and then went to "The Pocket Community Theatre" to see "Arsenic and Old Lace" it was really good!!  One of the guys Cecil Ray works with was in it and he did a great job...it was his first time to do theatre. 

Here we are all dressed up...

Thank you Aunt Shawn and Maci...

We had a grat time!
