We love Gymnastics!
Look at these two little cuties! This is Payton's friend, Emma, from gymnastics. They are so darn cute in their little leotards. We can't wait to go play with Emma when she gets back from vacation.

Wow, I'm really behind
So, it's been a while since I have posted. Here's what's been happening.
First off - GO MAVS! WOO HOO! Now, let's go kick the crap outta Miami.
The last day of May, Payton finished up her Mother's Day Out Program for the year. She had such a great time there. They did a little performance for us and sang "I'm a Little Lovebug". It was the cutest thing ever! She did so well!
We had a nice weekend. Saturday I got my hair done, yay, then I got to take my girl swimming. We stayed home Saturday night, cooked out and watched the Mav's take the Western Conference Championship!
Sunday we went to early church, then made the trek down to Cedar Hill to watch Justin play baseball. His team is really good and they won their game. They had another game at 3, but Miss Priss was way too hot and too tired to stay out there that long, so we headed home. Justin had an awesome hit out to left field, line drive, but the outfielder got Lucky, and caught it at the very tip of his glove. I was so mad!
I get to play golf this Thursday with a customer, a co-worker and his customer and two of my bosses. I am really looking forward to it, heat and the fact that I can't play golf aside! It should be lots of fun.
Payton is going to be starting with a new babysitter on Thursday. I'm a little nervous, but know she will be great. Her cousin started going there full-time today, so it will be great for them to be able to play together!
May 30 was my wonderful Mema's 77th birthday. We got the whole crew together and went to dinner at Chili's. We had a great time, and she really enjoyed it. She said she was so happy that we really do love her, and didn't forget her birthday. Of course not, Mema!
Anywho - here are some pics from the last couple of weeks!
OK, Blogger is being a PITA! I've been trying two days to add three additional pictures, and it won't work!

She has absolutely no desire...
to tee tee on the potty, that is. I mean, not only does she not want to, the mere mention of the option drives her to hysterics! Why is that? Why does my 2 year and 3 month old daughter not want to use the "big girl potty"? Anyway, if you figure it out, let me know. I'm getting pretty jealous of my friends who have kids younger (no names mentioned, Brooks) who are going on the potty.....
Funny Conversation
OK, this is the convo I just had with my 2 year old on the way home.
Her: I had chicken nu#@....
Me: Chicken Nuggets?
Her: No, Chicken Nuts!!
What are they feeding her at school??? LOL

Girls Trip!!
Can I just say that I love Mexico? Every time I visit, I don't want to come home. This time was no exception. On May 6, I left bright and early at 6 am for Puerto Vallarta, MX. It was me, my friend Traci, my mom, and two of her friends (Sandy & Linda). We got to our hotel by 9 am, and were at the pool shortly after. Needless to say, we started drinking quite early and had plenty of Cerveza's that day. Saturday night, Traci and I drug ourselves (not feeling so hot) to a cool little Mexican restaurant named Pipi's (yes, that was the real name). They make tabelside guacamole for you there -FREE! It was yummy. We got a really cute picture done there, and we shared a chimichanga. After that, we called it a night, as it had been a really long day.
Sunday we somewhat slept in, then got up and headed out to the pool. We didn't have any plans for this day, other than to relax and enjoy the warm Mexico sun. We played a little water volleyball, and again, did lots of drinking. We met a lot of nice people at the hotel. There was this super sweet family from CA. The husband was really nice and outgoing, and obviously a great dad. His little boy Cameron kept us laughing. We also scheduled our first tour, which was a snorkeling trip to the Marietas Islands for Monday. Mom and her friends laid by the pool as well.
Sunday night we went to dinner at a really nice restaurant called Le Kliff. It was in the mountains that were the backdrop to PV, so it overlooked the ocean and the city. I can't say enough about this place. It was gorgeous. There were multiple levels and the roof was made out of Palapas. Basically picture a large tiki hut, but really nice. There were not many people dining that night, which was probably a good thing! Man, those margarita's were so strong. We all got a little crazy! Before you knew it, we were talking, dancing, and taking pictures with two gentlemen from Kansas City. I was (practically) singing with the band, and we were ordering more margarita's. Oh yea, and the food was good too!!
The one on the far left was our waiter, Marco
Monday we got up bright and early to go to the marina for our snorkeling adventure. We boarded a huge catamaran and headed towards Las Marietas Islands. This was about an hour and a half boat ride. The crew briefed us of all the in's and out's of the boat as well as snorkeling & equipment. I should mention that Traci and I are the only non-couple on the boat. So, we get to our snorkeling place, put all of our stuff on, and jump into the ocean. The water was cold! We didn't see many fish, unfortunately, but we did see lots of jellyfish! We snorkeled for a few minutes, then tried our luck at a kayak. We did pretty well, I must say. After that, we all went to the little private beach that was part of the islands, and we stayed there for about 1.5 hours. Then it was back to the boat for lunch, music, dancing, and drinking! They opened up the bar and cranked up the music. The boat ride back was a blast. Myself, Traci, and a few of the crew members were the only one dancing and having a good time. There are more stories from this adventure, but you are probably getting tired of reading already. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time, and met lots of nice folks from Mexico, and one from England. Hey Emily!
Tuesday we slept in, went to the pool, then headed off to our "Canopy Los Veranos" adventure. This was a zip line tour through the jungle. It was soo cool! The longest zip line was .25 mile, and the highest was over 1500'! It was a blast, but a lot of work climbing up to each line through the mountains. As you can imagine, we had a great time here too. We met a really fun group of people who were there celebrating one of the girl's 40th birthday. On the bus ride home (in an open-air bus), the driver noticed that I was getting low on beer, and stopped at what looked to me like a little shanty to get me some more. I bought 6 Corona's and passed them out to our new friends. It was a blast. However, when we got back to the office for this tour, I left my camera there! It was only a disposable, but ALL of our pictures from the trip were on it. The concierge from the hotel was supposed to get it for me and send it to me, but I don't know if that will happen. I sure hope so though! We had to get up early the next day and leave, so I didn't have time to go get it myself. I am still bummed about that.
For some reason I can't get blogger to post my picture of me on the zip line, so I'll try again later.
~Update~ Here are some more pictures:
These first two are of me parasailing..

What's been happening
OK, so it's been a couple weeks since I have posted; and a lot has happened! Here is the run-down.
4-25 was mine and Jeff's 8 year anniversary! Holy cow, I'm too young to have been married that long! LOL. It's been 8 great years, and I know there are many more to come.
The following weekend Payton and I took the DART train to the Dallas Zoo. We had a really good time. The zoo wasn't crowded, and we got to see lots of cool animals. She was especially excited about the elephants. The giraffe's were quite pretty as well! She had fun on the train too, but I had a hard time keeping her still! The next day we went to Germanfest. I love Germanfest. We go every year. It's a big event for the lively town of Muenster, TX. We got to see some of Jeff's great cousins, who we always enjoy spending time with. They have lots of yummy food; that's almost all we did was eat! The music was good too, and Payton had fun dancing. Jeff's sisters and I were supposed to do the 5K Fun Run before the festivities, but we had stayed out a tad too late the night before, so we didn't make it in time. Cousin Daryl was a little upset with us! Anyway, here are some pictures from the zoo and G-fest.
Whoa, that's a big giraffe, Mommy!
Sitting Pretty in the Butterfly Chair
L to R: Jeff's Cousin Daryl, and sister's Lana and Lisa, and Jeff
My cute little P swinging
And riding the teeter totter
How cute is she eating this funnel cake?
This is a picture of Jeff, coming in 2nd place, for the second year in a row, in Nagelschlagen. The winner got $100! I was so ticked.
Next, you get to hear about my awesome trip to Mexico!!

Baseball, Supercross & Playoffs Baby
Well, we had a very busy, fun-filled weekend. Friday night Payton stayed with her Nana, and Jeff and I got to have a date! Wow! We went out to eat and went and saw the movie "Failure to Launch". It was cute, predictable, but cute. Then we went over to the Yamaha dealership and saw Chad Reed.
Saturday started with Payton's gymnastics, then we dropped her off with my mom again, and off we went to Justin's baseball game. Cedar Hill is a long drive from Anna, let me tell you. We made a pit stop at Chuy's on the way. Yum! We sat on the patio, and the weather was perfect. Justin's team won again, so they are still undefeated. Go Mustangs! After that we killed some time at the Irving Mall waiting to go to the Supercross. I found some cute skirts and a pair of shorts at Old Navy. Yay! Next we were off to Pappasito's to meet our group of friends that we were going to the SX with. Just what I needed; more Mexican food. But the beer was pretty good. We had a great time at the Supercross, even though Bubba wrecked! Congrats Chad.
Sunday was a little more calm. We had lunch with my mom at Snuffer's. Man, they have some killer cheddar fries! Then we went home and just did some stuff around the house. I went to the Mavericks game last night with Traci. It was Game 1 of the Playoffs against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thanks Chris, for letting me go. The seats were awesome, and we had a great time. Oh yeah, except for the rude bitch who sat behind us. Unbelievable. She would yell at people to sit down if they stood up in front of her. Forgive me, but I thought this was a game, and you were supposed to stand UP and support your team? Sheesh. So, how was your weekend?

Easter 2006 --- Finally!
We had a wonderful Easter this year. For those of you who don't know, it was HOT!!! I believe that it was the hottest Easter on record. We had lots of friends and family over, we cooked out, and hung out on the back patio. Eventually we got out the sprinkler and let the little one's run around in the sprinkle -- while the big kids had the water hose on the trampoline. Payton had a great time hunting Easter eggs; she did such a good job.

Easter Eggs
Last Saturday we dyed Easter eggs. I was really looking forward to it, thinking Payton would love it and have a great time. Well, she thought it was a good idea, but she lost interest after about the first egg. LOL. So, really it was Justin and I dyeing the eggs. Here are some pics...

Cookout at Grandpa & Mimi's
Last Saturday night we went to my dad and step-mom's house for a cookout. My brother and his family were there, and my other brother's two boys were there. So, all the cousins got to have a good time playing together. Troy brought kites (great idea, Troy), so the bigger kids had fun flying (or attempting to fly) them. It was almost too windy!! Anyway, here are some cute pic's from the evening.
These are all of Jacob, Emma & Payton
