Here I go...again..

2011-08-08T09:57:00.002-05:00

Starting TODAY I am tracking my calories and I am going to start eating better. I have about 17 pounds left that I want to lose! I am also suppose to be starting training for the Soaring Wings Half Marathon that is in October. So my NEW goal is to be down to my GOAL WEIGHT of 120 by October 29th! That is 12 weeks to lose 17 pounds! That is about 1.42 pounds per week. I am hoping that posting about this will help me to stay on track and get some support. So....HERE I GO...

Gotta get back in the groove...

2011-07-25T09:15:00.005-05:00

Hello again! I am really going to try to get back in the groove of blogging! A LOT has changed in the past two years since I last blogged. Lets see Haleigh is 4, Kennedy is almost 16 months old, Eric and I had our 5th anniversary in May, and I have applied for Nursing school! Here are some more recent pictures of us...

I will try my best to keep up with the Flowers News this time around! :)

Every year at church we put flowers on a cross during the service, after the service is over we take pictures in front of it. This year the girls decided to take pics on it! lol...Haleigh had a ball jumping off of the platform. Here are some pics...

We had our annual church luau this past Saturday night. Haleigh had soo much fun playing with Mackenzie. They hula hooped, limboed, and even danced a bit. Aunt Cherie hula hooped and her and Mimi danced the hula! PeePaw even tried his hand at Limbo! Here are some pics from the evening...

Cozumel

March 29 - April 3, 2009

My parents took us to Cozumel for our Christmas 2008/Birthday 2009 present. We had soo much fun. I don't know how I will pic between thw 576 pics I took while we were gone. I wanted to take more but a certain someone does not like me taking pics all the time!

Our Luggage...

Here are pics of everyone at like 4 am!! I was surprised that Haleigh woke up!! I was kinda hoping she would sleep but it was fun for her to be awake and get to see the planes before we got on. Plus she got to stretch and walk around before having to sit still for an hour, which is how long the flight was to Houston.

Haleigh's first airplane ride!! She fell asleep pretty quick, but it was 5 something in the morning when we boarded. She loved those miniature pillows they have for you on the planes, we brought home 2 of them. lol

In the airport at Houston...

Plane #2....from Houston to Cozumel.

We made it to Cozumel!! Woohoo!! We were all hot sitting on the van waiting to be taken to our hotel, so Nana but Haleigh hair up and put a hat on.

We stayed at...

We got to the hotel around noon and our room wasn't going to be ready until around 2, so we changed into our suits, went and ate lunch by the beach and then played in the water and sand.

Here are some more pictures while we were in Cozumel. This post is getting really long so I am just going to end with pictures throughout our stay there.

Just a visit

Mimi and Peepaw came over for a short visit with Haleigh before we left for our trip. They brought her some Tinkerbell bubble bath and a Precious Moments angel from Meemaw. Haleigh and Peepaw played pony too.

Haleigh's First Trim!

2009-04-05T09:04:00.007-05:00

March 20, 2009

My mom has been wanting to cut Haleigh's hair forever and I would not let her before now. I did let her keep Haleigh's bangs trimmed and out of her face. So the Friday before we left for our trip I let her cut Haleigh's hair, more like a trim. She cut enough to even it out in the back. We could tell a difference, but then again I can tell a BIG difference when she trims my hair. Her are some pics...

Nana decided her bangs needed to be trimmed as well...

Then Nana dryed it...

Haleigh and the "hairdresser"...lol

St. Patty's Day!

Just a pic I took at work. I did not wear the glasses all day, they were WAY too big. I wore head band thing off and on because it starts to give me a headache after a while, so I had to take it off and give my head a break every now and then.

Eric's Birthday w/ his family

2009-03-16T22:28:00.013-05:00

March 14, 2009

We went over to "MeeMaw's" house (Eric's Grandma) Saturday night after Eric got off work for dinner and cake to celebrate his birthday. We had lasagna for dinner and MiMi (Eric's mom) made him a red velvet cake for dessert. When we first got there the girl's (Haleigh and Mackenzie-Haleigh's cousin) decorated an Easter Tree. Here is a pic of each of them decorating and then one of them together with the tree...

We also colored Easter eggs. We took the girl's shirts off so they wouldn't stain them. They had a blast. Here are a few pics...

Then played doctor. They each had to check MiMi's heart and take turns taking temperatures and checking refluxes. Here is a picture of our little doctors...

I also made Eric a picture with me, but Cherie snaped the camera 3 times and he did not like that at all. He said that she took 3 pictures of the exact same thing. We hardly ever get a pic together just the two of us so I needed a new one. Here they are...

Here is the birthday boy blowing out his candles...

We were trying to get ready to leave and the girls climbed in MeeMaw's lap, so I took a picture.

Birthday Dinner

2009-03-16T21:59:00.002-05:00

March 7, 2009

We celebrated everyone's birthday by going out to eat, well except for my brother (Uncle Bubby) who was not able to come and Haleigh's because hers is in October. Everyone else had just had a birthday or it was coming up. My dad (Papa)'s birthday is February 21st, My birthday is March 2nd, My mom (Nana)'s birthday is March 8th, Eric's birthday is March 17th, and Uncle Bubby's is March 26th. My mom wanted us to all go out to eat together for our birthdays since my parents weren't getting me and Eric an actual present, but Uncle Bubby had to work so he didn't make it. My parents are taking Eric, Haleigh, and I to Cozumel on March 29th thru April 3rd; this is Eric and my Christmas 2008/Birthday 2009 present. Anyway...I got off subject for a second there. We went to eat an Kan Pai. This was Haleigh's first time going to a restaurant like this where they cook your food right in front on you. I am not going to say she hated it or even disliked it really, but she was scared when he started making huge fires. She sat in my lap the whole time the cook was there, by the time the cook left my mom was done eating so I pawned Haleigh off on her so I could eat. The waitress brought Haleigh a little "brella" and her is a couple pics of her with it...

And a pic with her Nana holding a "brella" too...

We had a good time even though Haleigh didn't eat a thing from the restuarant! lol...my pickey child, I wonder where she gets it??

First Blog Post - Little Rock Zoo

2009-03-11T15:58:00.010-05:00

March 7, 2009

I decided to start our family blog and this is our first post. I will try to keep this updated but no promises. I am going to start with mine and Haleigh's adventure to the zoo this past weekend. We met some of my family and their friends at the Little Rock Zoo for a nice day of fun. The day was beautiful and so was the weather; we had an amazing day visiting all the animals. Haleigh spent time with my little half sister Carleigh...

Haleigh got to see lots of animals. She even got to pet and feed a few at the Children's farm...

Haleigh usually runs the other way when I get my camera out and will not look at me but I actually got a couple pics of her... This is one of my favs...

I also got her to take a picture in one of the wooden cut out things...

Those are just a few of the pictures that I took of Haleigh having a good time. We would love to go back again soon so we can ride the train.
