Chuck E Chesse AGAIN

So, this week was pretty normal..nothing too exciting happened. Just the same School, dance, homework. Friday the girls had their friend Morgan over to stay the night. They had so much fun! They played games and watched movies and they ate cereal for supper (that is what they wanted so that's what they got..lol)

Saturday we went out to eat with my dad and mom at Ihop (we allow ourselves one cheat meal a week and this was it) it was sooo yummmy!! Then we went to Chuck E Cheese (i feel like we live there now..lol) for Adisyn's 3rd birthday party. Here is the birthday girl...she didn't want her picture taken..lol.


My friend Alicia (Morgan's mom) and her lil boy Zac who is 2 months younger than Preston.


Me and Preston using my peanut shell...that I love!!!!

The kids having fun with Chuck E Cheese.

After the party we went to sign Savannah up for t-ball and Catelyn for machine pitch. I am soo exctied for baseball season. I love going to the games and cheering for my babies. I am such a soccer mom...lol!!! Then I went to a Pampered Chef party at my friend Christy's house. We had so much fun. I bought a few neat things to use in the kitchen.

We have moved Preston from his baby bathtub to his big boy seat. He loves to slpash! Poor boy is surrounded by girl toys...loving the princess wand..lol.

He loves bath time!!

Mommy's lil redneck :) Excuse his drooling all over the shirt..lol.

Just a lil update on our weight loss...Michael has lost 11lbs and I have lost 5lbs.

Baby shower and pizza

Yesterday I meet up with Val and Elizabeth at Target to get a few last minute things for Jenn's baby shower. I was super excited to see that Target had a ton of cute new things!! I got the girls a dress each (which will be their V-Day present...I don't believe in buying stupid stuffed animals or stuff that they will just play with for 2 minutes) a set of monkey bibs and onesies for Preston and a new summer dress for myself. Then we headed to Atlanta for Jenn's baby shower that we helped throw. If I say so myself it turned out super cute!!! She got a ton of awesome stuff! Here we all are.

Here is the beautiful mom to be

Oh, and by the way I'm still on the diet and I was super duper strong and had NO yummy cake!! While I was at the shower Michael took ALL 3 kids to Chuck E. Cheese....YES on a Saturday. My first thought was what the heck where you thinking....but he is such a good daddy and loves taking the kids places....even though he said he would never take them there again on a Saturday. Here is a pic of the girls...he got them ready all by his self....lol. What can I say he did pretty good for a man. At least they match and they have bows!





They had a very eventfull time at CC. Michael said there was a lil boy around 8 or 9 that would not get off a ride so the mom made him get off. So this lil brat of a kid took off his shirt, pants and underwear...YES HIS undies and threw a fit BUTT naked on the floor of CC!!!!!!!
Poor Michael said that he looked around to make sure the girls where not watching...luckily they where NOT!
Anywho after the shower Elizabeth and me had the brillant idea to make Valerie stay in town (instead of driving back to Hot Springs) and have a lil get together at my house. We had so much fun!!! Tiffany came over for a few minutes and Brayden also got to play with all the pretty girls.

Savannah and Aubs playing dress up.
My totally handsome boy!! Who by the way has 2 bottom teeth trying to come in (could be the reason for all the drooling..lol)
We ate pizza, played a lil Wii, and watched the movie the Pregnany Pact (while Michael and Travis played X-Box..like they would ever watch a movie about a bunch of young dumb teenagers getting knocked up on PURPOSE.) Valerie and Aubrey stayed the night with us we stayed up extremely late (for us that is) watching Where the Heart is.

D-Day

Ok, so today was the first day of mine and Michael's diet. Michael wants to loose 40lbs and I want to loose 15-20lbs. I'm really hoping we can stick with it! Diets are very hard for me because I love to snack and I LOVE my cokes!!!!! All we are doing is watching the calories we eat and we are going to work out at least 3 days a week. I am going to weigh every Monday, so I will try to keep you updated on my weight loss.

Oh, and yes yesterday was a sad day for all Cowboys fans. They lost their playoff game to the Vikings :(

Sorry for the very short blog, but I gotta watch Cake Boss and wish I was eating all the cookies, pies, and cakes...lol!

Bedtime at the Williams house

So, I think I have turned Catelyn into a clean freak!!! She is so particular about her room. She flips out if it gets messy. I told her the other day that her room is going to get messy when she plays in it and she said well that is why I play with one thing and when I'm done playing with it I put it up. Well, who can argue with that...lol!!! For the past couple of weeks this is how she has been sleeping.
She likes for her bed to be made so instead of making it every day she would just rather sleep on top of her comforter...lazy or smart..hummm..lol????


Then I go into Preston's room to check on him and this is how he is sleeping...just thought it was cute how he is holding onto the bumper pad and his teddy bear.

Last but not least is Savannah. This child can fall asleep ANYWHERE!!!!


I wish I would fall asleep while eating...lol..that way I wouldn't eat as much!!!!




Oh, and I played bunco tonight. I just started playing a few months ago and I love it!!! I love the themes that we do and I love getting out of the house for a few hours. I didn't take pics, but I will try to next month.

Can't wait to watch the COWBOYS play tomorrow!! I pray my BOYS win!!!
GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my blessings

I have so much on my mind. I'm not very good at putting it all into words. I have all these thoughts that I just want to say. God has just blessed me in so many ways.

I don't think I can ever thank God enough for blessing me the way he has. I truly believe that God sent Michael to me. Michael is everything that my parents prayed for in a husband. He is such a great daddy and husband. He loves us all with his whole heart. He is a hard worker and puts his family first. He is a great role model and a great Christian man and I'm proud that my kids have him to look up too. I also thank his mom for raising such a great man!!

We have three wonderful, healthy, beautiful kids. I pray over them everyday. I pray that God will keep them safe. I pray that God has a good christian man/woman picked out for each of my kids. I pray that they will grow up to be good ,hardworking, well rounded Christians. I pray they each have goals in life and that they achieve all that their hearts desire. I pray that they go to college and become successful in whatever they want. I pray they will become great parents one day.

I thank God for such a wonderful family. They have always been there for me and always will. My parents made sure to teach me the importance of having good morals and standing up for what you believe in. I would not be the woman I am today without each and every one of my parents (God blessed me with more than one set of parents..lol) They always put me and my siblings first. I have 2 sweet amazing brothers. I have enjoyed getting the chance to watch them grow up. I know they are going to be great men one day! I am also lucky to have a terrific sister who I would be lost without! I have 2 nieces and 4 nephews and one more niece/nephew on the way.

I thank God for awesome friends. They are always here for me no matter what. I know that God placed each and every one of my friends in my life for a reason. They all bring something different to our friendship. They all are the BEST!!

I pray each and every day for patience. I ask God to help me be a better mother, wife, sister, and friend. I pray that He gives me the guidance I need to live a better Christian life.

Momma needs her sleep!!!

This week started off pretty rough! Preston was up ALL night long Sunday. He wasn't being fussy. He just didn't want to sleep! Finally at 5am I let Michael take him and he got him to sleep. Michael went to work but ended up coming home because Preston would not take a nap and Momma needed a nap!!!!


Preston tried sweet peas for the first time yesterday. He is getting so much better eating with a spoon. I think he is getting eczema. His lil cheeks are soo red!
We had a ton of company over yesterday. Elizabeth, Emma Grace, Kristen and Kenzie came over for a play date. We had a great time talking and letting the kiddos play. Didn't take any pics though :( Then my cousin Alicia and her lil girl Morgan came over after Catelyn and Savannah got out of school.

The new American Idol started last night...YAY!!! I just love it!!!! Can't wait to see who wins this year!

busy busy weekend!!

We had a very busy weekend!! Catelyn made a 100 on her spelling test (WAY TO GO CATIE) so her friend Tatum stayed the night.




This pic just cracks me up!! We had sooo much static electricity this weekend!!! Everyone was shocking everyone...lol.


Saturday we had the Larey's over for the Cowboys VS the Eagles play off game and of course the COWBOYS WON!!!! We where sooo excited! Now they have to win two more games in order to go to the super bowl! We would just love to see them in the super bowl!

Our family pic minus Preston...he was asleep and I was not about to wake him up..lol.
Michael and me made this football cake. Kinda crocked but I think it turned out super cute!

Sunday we went to church and our friends Holly, Jimbo, and Tatum came. We where soo excited to have them at church! After chruch we went to Ta'Molly's to eat. Then we went to Emma Grace's 1st birthday party!! Here is the pretty birthday girl and her parents Elizabeth and Travis.

Savannah loved riding on the carousel


Catie bug also enjoying the carousel

My Grandma ROCKS!

Not much has gone on the past couple of days. I worked yesterday. Savannah and Preston went to Kristen's house. I'm soooo very thankful that she watches them for me while I work 1-2 days a week. All my kids just love her soo much!!!!


It was such a COLD day today that I didn't want to get Preston out, so we stayed at home in our PJ's. My Grandma came over to visit. She is the best Grandma ever!! I can always talk to her about anything. She has helped me out so much over the last couple of years. I don't know what I would have done without her while I was in nursing school. She would come over to my house and clean and fold clothes for me while I was at school. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!!



The weather is supposed to get bad tonight, but we shall see. I just want it to snow!! I want there to be enough that they close the schools and we can stay at home and play in the snow! Savannah says bundle up folks it's cold outside!!!

Where does the time go????

Last night was a rough night for all of us. Michael was up most of the night vomiting. Preston woke up at 3:00 running 102 degree temp (this was his first time running a fever). Then Catelyn got up around 4:00 and was having diarrhea. So, needless to say Michael and Catelyn both stayed home from work/school. They all 3 where ok around mid morning thank goodness! Not sure what was wrong with Preston. He ate and we gave him Tylenol and he went right back to sleep and woke up at 10:00AM and was just fine.

On Monday's my girl's go to dance class so since we where all feeling better this afternoon we got ready for dance. We get to the dance studio and guess what.....no dance class!!!! Ugh, i was not to happy. Since most of Texas schools where still out today there was no dance class! So, we decided to head to Wally world to get a few things so it wasn't a complete waste of a trip to town....and yes you will see me write...to town...up town...in town...because we live 20-25 minutes away from TOWN..lol.

Then we came home and let Mr. Man try squash for the first time. He isn't too sure he likes baby food just yet.





He LOVES the camera. He is sooo mesmerized by it..lol. Get used to it Preston...it will be in your face for the rest of your life. :)

I was looking through old pictures tonight and I came across a few of my faves. Makes me sooo very sad that my babies are not babies anymore:( Where did time go?? Why does time go so fast after you have kids?? You really do have to cherish every minute you have with your kids because before ya know it they will be 16 and dating.


This pic was taken at the park. Catie bug was 3 and a half in both of these pictures.






Yes, my child had some crazzzy hair...lol.





Savannah was a year old here.






Savannh at 5 months old

Cowboys, bathrooms, and parties

So, we (well, actually JUST Michael..lol) have been repainting our bathroom this weekend. We have lived in this house for 3 years in March and I have just now figured out what I wanted to do with our bathroom. We painted it green and I LOVE it!We missed church this morning :( because we where all having to get ready in the girls bathroom and i kept having to run back to my bathroom and move the ladder and move the plastic we had covering everything. So, we ended up running out of time. We had two birthday parties to go to today. One was our lil cousin Peyton and then my friend Nicki's lil girl Macie. The girls had a great time at both. It was nice to see my BFF's from high school...Nicki, Lisa, and Missy. Then we headed home to finish watching the COWBOYS beat the Eagles!! Now the Cowboys are NFC champs...yeah baby!! Next game will be the play off's!!! While I was at one of the birthday parties my friend Missy had a baby sling and it was the coolest thing. She let me try it out and i held Preston in it for 30 min. and it never hurt my back. It's called a peanut shell. So. I game home and ordered 2 immediately!!! I hate carrying him around in his infant carrier....he is just getting too heavy!!

Well, tomorrow the girls have to go back to school. I'm going to miss them being at home with me everyday. Hope everyone has a great week!!
