beach trip!!

wow! This week is flying by! Sunday we took a trip down to the beach...it was great getting away for the night. My parents drove down from Ocean Isle to stay with us and then to drive KB and I back to gv! We had a great time visiting Fort Macon!

Flea market..visit with Crystal...and dinner date with Mr. Conner...OH MY!

Today was Kathryn's first trip to the flea market! We had a wonderful time and oh man it was BUSY!! I wish I had tons of money to spend because the vendors today were oh so fabulous! The only downside was that it was HOT HOT HOT and I was worried because KB still had warm clothes on!! She was "glistening" all day! Fairy Godmother Crystal went with us and it was so nice to have her around!! It has been so long since we had spent quality time together so it was really nice to catch up!!

Then for dinner The Berry's had us over and as always we have a wonderful time! Esp. we the embarrassing stories start to come out:) Conner and Kathryn had fun trying to see who could score higher for the worst fall! (eeek!) I think they both scored 10.0! The meal was yummy esp. the cooooooooOOoookies!!! and.. I enjoyed playing with their amazing camera! I am looking foward to many more warm dinner nights out on the porch!

Locked Out!!:)....oops!

So ... i had my first locked out of the car episode with no phone today...THANK GOD...KB was out of the car or my mom's car would have had a broken window:) But who you going call when your in Wilson...parents are out of town...hubby/brother on the golf course and not answering #'s they don't know...U CALL GRANDMA! I mean who else is A.home B.still answer calls she doesn't know C.can get to you faster then a 911 call when it comes to her granddaughter and GREAT-granddaughter in distress!!:) You should have seen Kathryn face light up when she drove up!! She couldn't stop clapping and laughing! So after she saved the day the least we could do was get everyone to go to her house and visit with her:) Here are a few of the pics while we were there!

Only Kathryn...

HGTV-WANNABE Bathroom Make OVER:)

I have wanting to re-do Kathryn's bathroom for the LONGEST TIME! So when it was time to have Jeff's party it gave me the motivation to go ahead and do it! I am sooo happy with it...and love spending time in there now! ha ha:) I had tons of help to get it just the way I wanted:) Thanks to my dad for helping put everything on the wall and "Seeing" it...Elizabeth for my swirls...and Marsha for sewing my ribbon on my fabulous shower curtain. The inspiration for the came from the curtain I found at Target! I took to Rocky Mount to have it Monogram and just loved how Kathryn initials came out! I call the bathroom the SECRET GARDEN ...after my dad called it vines instead of swirls...thats when the thought to just add flowers to my swirls. Then I personalized it all... now I want to re-do even more rooms:)

Before:



After!

OH ..here we go:)

SNOW!

WILD DAY!

What a day...

Jeff got up hoping that it would be a Snow Day/No work DAY! but...we wake up to NO SNOW! After he left I put Katie Bee down only to look back up and see her pushing/walking across the room!!!! WOW! Then after picking her up I discoved WE have one FRONT TOOTH!! As, if we have not had enough excitment it SNOWED while Uncle Ty and Bec came to eat dinner!! As we were winding down for bed...I thought nothing more crazier could happen... Katie Bee crawls to the side of couch and FLIPS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhh!! Scared Jeff and I to death luckly she was more mortified of us screaming then being in pain herself bc after a few min of crying she was back to laughing!! Thank God! Well Im off to bed to END this Wild DAY!!

Jeff's 28th PoKeR pARTY!

Happy 28th Birthday Jeff!! We spent his real birthday with the fam @ CPW this wed. We had a great time with the two sets of grandparents...and great gma Lois. Tyler also graced us with his appearance:) On Friday, Jeff old roomies, Steven and Nicole came down from Richmond to spend the weekend with us to celebrate the birthday boy big day! We took them out to Ham's for some old memories of the many days they spent at the one in Rocky Mount. Then back to our house to hang out. Kathryn of course was the first to pass...out...followed by me:) (I was exhausted from spending all day cleaning and from helping my dad build JB awesome bday prize) Sat. we all woke up for breakfast (well except for Steven of course...he needed extra beauty sleep) Jeff did our normal drive around all the breakfast joints complaining on why they all are so busy...and then we drove right back to good ole' faithful Bojo's. (BTW~I have swore off Bojangles's this week...I think we had everyday last week!!!) Nicole and I spent the day fixing up the Poker decor and she did a wonderful job babysitting Katie Bee(THANK U). Even allowing KB to nap on her for an hour! I packed Katie Bee's Going to Grandparents bag...and they picked her up at the perfect time bc she GOT time to rub Baby Blake's feet! ha ha Being the professional poker/card chewer and chip thrower we fig. that she was better off not mingling with us armatures. We had around 20 great friends come join us for a wonderful and special birthday. After about 1000 oysters and tons appetizers it was time for the CAKE. I had got Jeff a special Poker Cake and had found sparklers for the top. Unfortunately I set the fire alarms off for a gooooood five min! OOooOOopss! The poker game started off strong...however the real game was conducted by LeAnn "catch phrase"! LOVE LOVE LOVE that game! With 2 teams of 5 we battled each other...OooH I DONT THINK I have laughed that hard since the ole' CoUrTnEY Square/Tennis days with the roomies!! From...Scot-tie Pippn',Kevin Costner in Armagedons, and just "RUSS" it was def. a night to remember!! After we had played the game for 3 hours we ran out of cards...so on to pictionary! My facebook wifey Heather... read my mind so most of the time I didnt have to draw...she IS my BUG SPRAY for life:) hahaha! After- another hour we had to mix up pictionary/with acting pictionary...whoa too funny! By 12ish...I think we were all laughed out...BUT the poker game was still going! At 1ish we had a winner...STEVEN...followed by HUTCH..and the BIRTHDAY BOY!:) What a great night! Thanks to all our wonderful new and old friends for making it such a special night!
