Spring Break-Saturday

Saturday morning, while Tyler and Austin stayed at Mimi's house, Carli and I went with cousins; Melanie, Monique, and Monique's little girl, Arlyssa (7) to the NAIL SALON! Oh yeah! Pedicures all around. THANK YOU MELANIE! WHAT A SPECIAL TREAT!Carli decided that Monique would be the one to paint her fingernails! :)

Arlyssa! Carli and Arlyssa- FABULOUS fingernails! Arlyssa has the prettiest nail beds! Look at them! TOES! Carli, Aryssa, and Melanie's!Then, we went over to Tia Cuca's house where she had LOADS of CLOTHES for Carli! THANK YOU TIA!!! The girls had such a fun time playing!Having snack!OOOHHH and the TATTOOS!!! Carli got three: two hearts and a turtle (MIRANDA! SHE LOVES TURTLES!)

When we were all done there, we went back to Mimi's house. Anthony was on his way. He had to close the bank that afternoon.

Tune in tomorrow for MORE...

Spring Break

Thankfully we are on Spring Break right now! We SO needed this time to chill out and relax! We're also thankful that Anthony is off this week with us! I don't think he's ever taken off work during our Spring Break? I have LOTS to blog about, which means I have LOTS of pictures! I think I'll just do a little bit of posting everyday about our break, instead of one giant post. Okay, enough rambling!
Our little vacation started off last Friday. As soon as the boys got home from school, we hit the road and headed North to: Sorry again Bryan and Hearne folks, but I love this funny logo and feel the urge to use it every time I can!! The drive was not as pretty as the scenery...Look at the BEAUTIFUL Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes! They're along the highway this time every year.

Yes, I DID take the picture as I was DRIVING!!! I know I should've stopped, but Carli yelled and cried the whole trip, so I was in a hurry to get to Bryan!

We always say that this is the first stop when we get to town:
(YUM YUM DELICIOUS!! We love our chili cheese dogs! I wish we had one here!)

We made it to Mimi's house and stayed the night. The next couple of days would be busy visiting friends and more family! Tune in tomorrow for more of our trip.

Happy Birthday Penelope!

Our cousin Penelope is having a birthday today! WOO HOO...she's 19! Nena, we hope you have a TERRIFIC day! ENJOY! We love you!

Resemblance

Last Saturday, with the weather being so cold and rainy...YUCKY, we decided to stay indoors and watch movies. Just be LAZY! We watched this movie. We've seen it several times before, but this time we all kind of thought the same thing...

that little Darla, looked a tad bit like...

little Carli! We laughed and laughed! What do you think, does she?

Just us girls!

The first weekend in March, Anthony and the "guys" (that's what Carli calls her brothers), headed to Bryan, leaving Carli and I to have some girl time. So what did us girls do? SHOP, what else?! We headed over to my friend, Jennifer's house to pick up her and her daughter, Janessa. Her husband and sons were also gone out of town. We loaded up my car and away we went. We went to a couple of stores and then went to dinner.

Once dinner was over, we needed to go to another store...The girls had so much fun! I found these puppies, on sale for $1.99! YES! $1.99! We took Jennifer and Janessa home, where we played for a little bit. The girls were not ready to stop playing together. They had a great time! The next morning, we went to church, where she was NOT the best well behaved child! Thankfully, I could hear the sermon from the hallway, visit with another friend who was out in the hallway too, and was able to go back inside at the end for Communion! We came home for lunch and nap. Later that afternoon, we went to a birthday party.Carli waving to the mouse! She had a blast!Her favorite food was served!The birthday boy, Elijah (Janessa's brother).

Tokens in hand ready to go play games!Oh the slide may have been what she played on the most!This girl played so hard! When the party was over, she kicked and screamed the whole way to the car! Not even telling her that her Daddy and her guys would be home when we got there consoled her! She wanted to stay at "CHUCKIESSSSS!!!!!!" Despite her behavior at times, it was wonderful being just us girls!

Slumber Party! LOADS of pictures!!

On the day of Anthony's Party:
Some relatives needed to leave to get back home, but some decided to stay the night! YAY! We were SO HAPPY they did! For dinner, we decided to grab some good ol' burgers and wings!Melanie, Monique, and I went to get the food, while this baby girl, back at home with Daddy and the others, CRIED SO MUCH FOR ME that she fell asleep on the floor!!!Once we ate, she woke up, and we all got our jammies on so that we could settle in and watch our favorite movie!The next morning, Tyler said, "I want IHOP!" Oh no, no, no, Tia Cuca said, "Tyler, we will bring IHOP to you! Your daddy will take me to the store and then we'll have the girls cook breakfast!" And that's just what happened! Monique and Penelope cooked, Cuca cleaned.Monique showing her itty bitty pancake!For Tyler, he got a custom pancake! Tah-dah! What a DELICIOUS breakfast! Our compliments to the chefs!!!!!!!!

Yeah, we're (or maybe ANTHONY) is just a little bit spoiled by the ladies in his family!It was very much enjoyed by all! Hey, look, a picture of Kathy! The only one I have of her!
We called Tyler's IHOP, the Wii HOP, because this is what was going on during the cooking:Lots of Wii Sports!

Then, everyone got dressed for the day and for them to return home, while SOME slept. Until carli decided he shouldn't!Miss Arlyssa! Carli loved having a little girl at her house to play with! What tired lil' faces! We had a great time and were sad to see it end! We definately miss those days back in Bryan when this was an every weekend occurance! Oh well, that just means y'all have to visit more often!
