Swimming

Kendall went swimming for the first time this past weekend.  We got a little family sized swimming pool, and Kendall had a blast.  She loved when we would splash water in her face.  She just hollered and laughed.  She also thought she was too cute in her little bathing suit too.  Just strutting like she was Hot Stuff!!!!!!  lol  I can't wait until the next day we go play in the pool.  Kendall being a little girl that loves outside, she can't wait to get back out there.  Check her out below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's just Me

As you can see, these are pictures of me at work taken on my Iphone. Yes, I do work at work, but I like to keep it fun (lol).


It seems like I have been soooooo busy! I’ve finally gotten a moment to actually blog. Well, what’s going on with me? I am currently on a “revamp my spring wardrobe” kick. I am actually looking forward to some warmer weather. Notice I said warmer not hotter. With living in Arkansas, you always know those hot days are just right around the corner.

I have also started running again. I am doing a walk 2 minutes, run 2 minutes regimen right now. I think I am doing pretty good. I walked/ran almost 2 miles. Gotta love that Endomondo app! It measures your distance, tells you when you have hit the 1 mile mark, and tells you how many calories you have lost.  My goal is to one day run the 5K marathon.  I've been running with my friend/neighbor, Telischa.  We call ourselves, Team 5K aka Team Sexy aka Team Fine for the Summertime.  Y'all ain't ready!!!!!  lol

I am also anticipating the basketball playoffs. I don’t really watch a lot of basketball during the regular series, but get all into it once the playoffs start. The Miami Heat seems to be a force to be reckoned with, so the odds are in their favor this year. It’s all entertaining.

Kendall is doing great! She is so amazing and never ceases to amaze me. She is in her “try and imitate everything I see” phase. She is saying more words and loves to point. She is taking more and more steps every day. Every day is a journey in the world of Kendall. I just never know what she may do next.

Scott and I are great too. We are still enjoying being fairly new parents, but still take some time for ourselves once Kendall is sleep. We plan to have some date nights coming up this summer. I mean, Kendall can’t be with us all the time (ha!). I’m kind of excited. I’ve even started a date night outfit board on Pinterest to come up with some ideas of things to wear when we go out. Super Excited!

I am still blessed and highly favored. Enjoying life and looking forward to what’s to come.

What's for Lunch?

Wendy's "yummy in my tummy" chili is a perfect lunch on a cold day like today.  Scott put me on the hot chili seasoning, and it just takes it to a whole new level. 

Happy New Year....

Happy New Year!!!!!!!  I know that 2013 will be a great year.  I already feel so good about it.  It's so funny how we wait until the year starts over each year to make these promises to ourselves when we actually could start at any time.  I think it's just the feeling of being able to say, "ever since 2013, I started/stopped doing .......  When I was in junior high and high school, I would make 10 resolutions every year, and not read them again until New Year's Eve at the end of the year.  Scott and I made 10 resolutions each.  Here are mine below:

1. Read the bible and pray daily and attend church most Sundays unless there is a valid reason to miss.
2. Keep the house clean by cleaning something every day.  Everything has a place.
3. Devote more time to my physical appearance by wearing make-up, buying myself clothes/shoes, etc.  Since having Kendall, I have had more days than I normally would where I just don't put my full effort into my appearance.  Every time I went shopping, I would always end up buying Kendall something instead of for myself.  I am making it a point to not neglect myself while still keeping Kendall stylish...lol
4. Calling my family and friends more
5. Getting my Certified Procedural Certification (CPC).  This is a requirement of my job
6.  Reading to Kendall daily as well as making every moment a teaching moment for her
7. Being a good role model for Kendall at all times.  If I don't want her doing it, I shouldn't either.
8. Decrease and work to eliminate my attitude and sarcasm to others
9. Minimize procrastination
10. Keep the romance in my marriage.  We plan to spend more time together just me and the hubby.  Got to keep the marriage FRESH!!!!!!

All in all, I will strive to accomplish all of these resolutions.  I may or may not be able to do it, but I sure will have a great 2013 trying.

Do Your Part....I did

I voted. Have you?

Viva, Las Vegas....

My birthday is June 9th, and I will be turning the Big 30.  In preparation for this splendid milestone in my life, me and the hubby took off to Vegas.  We had an absolute blast!  We learned how to play craps, which is actually a lot of fun. We stayed at the Venetian, which is the Italian themed hotel with the gondolas (the long boats that you see in Italy).  It was a very nice hotel with a casino of course, mall, and restaurants.  It's weird how all the hotels in Vegas basically take you to whole new parts of the world.  You can be in Italy one minute, then walk down the street and be in New York or Paris.  It is very neat.  Well, let me stop babbling and post some pictures already.  Here we go....


THE HOTELS

The Venetian Hotel where we stayed.  It was like we were really in Italy.  Sooooo Beautiful!

Gondola rides inside of our hotel

This is the ceiling of the shops in the Venetian.  Makes it look like you are outside.

The Mirage Hotel

Caesars Palace has to be one of the larger hotels.  It was soooooooo long.  Very beautiful hotel

A nice statute outside of the Caesars Palace hotel

The Bellagio, you know the hotel that you see in all the movies with the water show out front. 

ENTERTAINMENT

A play in the Caesars Palace

It was weird how folks just dress up in different costumes and walk the strip....Hilarious

Scott and I in the helicopter on our way to see the Hoover Dam and the Vegas strip.  We took a limo to the airport to the catch the helicopter.  Very romantic! 

Scott outside of the helicopter

A band at the B.B. King club

We saw this show and absolutely loved it.  The thing we didn't like was that it wasn't long enough.  The tricks and acrobatics that were done were so unreal.  Just awesome!  I highly recommend it.

FOOD

A yummy salad with balsamic vinegarette from the Cheesecake Factory.  Those are crab wontons in the back that were also yum!

A meatlovers pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.  Scott visited one of these in ATL, and raved about it.  I tried it, and I must say that it is quite delish.
