VALENTINE Girls Game Night!

This weekend was so exciting! I hosted a "Valentine" themed game night at my home on Friday night! I decided to do a fun candy table with bags so people could take candy home. I also did some fun things on the main food table, & the beverage table. My girlfriend Alyssa & I made some white chocolate covered pretzel sticks with all kinds of fun sprinkles. We also added some pink rock candy & then all kinds of other Valentine candies! I had all the girls wear something pink or red! I love to decorate & had SO much fun putting this together! I got a tree limb off my parents tree & spray painted it red & decorated it! That was the most exciting thing & I just loved doing it! Im doing some fun things for Avery's 1st Birthday along these lines & can't wait to get started!! Im hosting a baby shower with some fun girls for my gal Melissa in April & can't wait to start shopping for the candy table for Mr. Grayson!

All of us girls decided to get together once a month for game night & fun! Each month we are going to host at a different home! There were about 20 or so girls & we all got together & enjoyed dinner, lots of sweets, lots of laughs, & games! We had a ball playing Catch Phrase & Twister, oh my! I am going to let the pictures do the talking...but I just want to say I have the greatest friends & we all just had such a nice time together! Until next game night...

Lunch/Dinner Dates!

Last night I enjoyed a nice dinner with some wonderful girlfriends There were 7 of us & we all met up at Las Fajitas to enjoy some good ole' Mexican food! All of the girls are coming to my house for a game night tomorrow night! I have been busy all week planning for it because we are supposed to have 15 or more girls. I decided to do a Valentine theme since it's my month to host, & boy is it cute! I have the most fun candy table that I am dying for you to see amongst a few other sassy things! But you will have to wait until tomorrow night! I'm looking forward to us girls getting together & laughing while playing some fun games! Can't get any better than that!





Today I spent lunch with one of my dear friends Melissa! We enjoyed Mimi's Cafe & great conversation. Avery enjoyed herself too in her highchair! Thanks for lunch Melissa, we always enjoy our lunch dates with you!



Tonight we had dinner with my sister in law Missy & my brother in law Larry! I didn't catch a pic because we were so busy catching up & playing with Ave. They are such amazing people & adore Avery so much. I feel so blessed to have them in our lives. She made us wonderful chicken spagetti, green beans with a touch of brown sugar, bread, & salad! For desert Larry made us chocolate sugar free pudding. It was so good! We all watched survivor & had the best time!

I always forget to blog about my other little baby boy, Pickle! He is my little chihuahua that I adore! I use to call him "sissy" before Avery came along but she stole that name FAST! He was looking so cute on some suitcases in our office tonight & I had to share a pic of him since I don't do that often. Unfortunetely since Ave has come along he is a little less thought about- poor baby! He is still taken care of & loved & sleeps under the covers with me & Chad at night. He is pretty spoiled rotton!

For now I leave you with a picture of Chad & Avery reading her favorite book, Curious George, before bed...

Happy Wednesday!

I am praising the Lord for all the great things He has done for me today, hope you will too! Happy Wednesday!

It's been a great week so far! I have been hitting the gym hard & boy am I sore! Im in a body pump class that is amazing! It works every muscle group & I can finally see a difference on week 3! Im looking forward to more results in the near future! I feel like my life is spent in the gym these days, but it's worth it & I love my "me" time on the tredmill listening to my tunes! Avery loves the daycare too so that helps.

I have been getting ready for a Valentines game party that I am having on Friday! There is going to be tons of girls & we are going to play Wii & Catch Phrase! I have a little spread ready & me and my girlfriend Alyssa decorated the table today for fun! I love having people over & enjoying some good company! It'a always been something I enjoyed doing but haven't had the chance to do much so far this year. Im excited to get back into it & start planning some fun get togethers! The fun thing about the game nights is that we are all sharing our homes each month so each person has a chance to host. My sister in law is hosting March! Im already thinking of Saint Patty's Day! HA!

Hope everyone is having a great week! Here are a few fun random pics of Avery this week...
