Crazy Fun Weekend

Besides being able to spill the beans this weekend, (below post), on my sister in law being pregnant, we had a pretty booked up weekend. Pretty much from now until Christmas is going to be crazy with all of these babies coming, showers, etc. I have around 13 friends now that are pregnant so I am in full shower mode.

...With that, I am going to go ahead & throw out that I am NOT pregnant & don't plan on being anytime soon, LOL! That wasn't in the plan for this year originally but as soon as Avery turned 22 months my heart changed. I honestly have so much baby fever going on with friends & family along with my hands being full with a toddler who is turning 2 exactly a month from tomorrow!!! Can you believe it? I am working on planning her party & keeping busy with her each day that honestly I am just eating up EVERY second with HER. I don't want to miss a beat & have forever, (hopefully by the grace of God), to get pregnant again. I only want 1 more so I am truly in no rush! Chad says different but I would like this year to dwindle & then maybe get on the baby train. I'm stoked for all my friends & family that are pregnant though & can't wait to live the excitement through them!

Several of us girls decided to get together Friday- of course for an excuse to hang out, but also to celebrate April Birthdays! We enjoyed a nice dinner at BoneFish. It's always a favorite around here. Three of the girls in this group are pregnant!



At dinner I gave all of the girls a little treat so that we could celebrate the marriage of William & Kate. We all put our crowns on in honor of the big wedding that I stayed up too late trying to watch the night before. I said a little speech at the table thanking them all for being my ROYAL friends. Total nerd, yes I know. I'm just a simple girl from Arkansas that likes to have fun & smile. Why not?





Dinner was so good. I enjoyed great company from some wonderful ladies. Happy April Birthday's to all!











Saturday morning early was a big event in our town called, "Race for the Cure". I love this annual gathering & celebrating the woman who have overcome breast cancer. It's such a great event with lots of meaning to many woman in this world. I love being a part of something like this.



Chad's work had a booth so we all had matching shirts that day to represent. We loved being outside all morning enjoying & supporting such a great cause.





The dogs were just precious. We enjoyed watching all of the cute dogs in pink about to walk the "Dog Walk". Avery loved looking at them she was so excited.




Can you believe these beautiful watermelon sculptures? I just had to take some pictures of this beautiful design.




There were all kinds of fun events for people to participate in. This one was just too adorable for the babies.



After the race Chad had a guys weekend planned in Branson to golf with a bunch of buddies. They all rented a house & split the costs. Before he left I surprised him with a new golf outfit. He is the hardest person to buy for but when I was out & about last week I found this & had to get it for him. I was so surprised it fit. He looked so handsome. I love my stylish golf hubby!



After he left for the day my parents, Avery & I decided to pack up & drive to Branson too for the day; but for us to go to Silver Dollar City!



We enjoyed riding the train & Avery's eyes were big the entire time. She kept saying, "CHOO CHOO"...



She LOVED riding the horse!




We played in this awesome tree house where I realized I was too old. I had to crawl through these tiny little spaces in a rush as kids were pushing me to go through quickly, wow. I need to stay in the gym 5 days a week. I was exhausted when we finally made our way out of that thing. Momma was happy. I then said, "Time for Dippin' Dots!"



We saw an awesome circus show & I snapped some pictures of Avery & my Dad while we waited in line. The picture didn't turn out too well because we were sitting so far back.

Avery is all ready for Mothers Day, hence the cute shirt- HEHE!





After a nice dinner of Mexican on the landing, we made our way home. On the drive back we came upon this beautiful sunset. I just loved it so much we had to stop & take pictures.



Since Chad was gone for the night & we got home so late, we decided to just stay with my parents. I kind of sort of feel like royalty myself when I stay over there. As if waking up to this isn't enough, my Mom tends to spoil me a little. They always are so great to play with Avery & just let me relax a bit. Aww, I can't tell you enough how good it felt to wake up to this on Sunday before church. I reached over & grabbed my camera fast.



Avery was rocking her adorable outfit our cousin got her from Hong Kong! Thank you Crystal!





Finally, curious & TOTALLY random but do any of my blog readers live in Bakersfield California?
