Lot's of catching up to do!

I figured I better not let an entire month go by without blogging, otherwise, I will hear it from my sister!  I haven't posted since Halloween, so I have lots of catching up to do!

First on the list: Annual Girls Weekend! In early November, my Mom and I drove to Kansas City to my sister's for our second annual girls weekend. Click here to read about our first "Girls" weekend. It was a great time! We stayed in a nice hotel downtown and had lots of fun walking around down at the Plaza and eating lots of good food:) I was also super excited because I got to see my nephew play in his last football game of the season! He did awesome and even scored a two point conversion! Here are some pics:

We had to order dessert from room service!

We walked through the "Link" to get to Crown Center

We had to start the morning off with Coffee, but there wasn't a Starbucks close by, so we had to settle for a latte from Sheridans.

Mmmm...yummy!

We spotted Richard Simmons at the Plaza.  He gave me a nice big wave for the camera!

Nice hat, huh?

Next on the list:  Trip to Cancun!  Frankie and I met our friends, Adam and Tamiko, in Cancun for a couple of days of fun in the sun!  Unfortunately, there was only one day where the sun was really out in full force.  The rest of the time it was mostly cloudy.  It didn't ruin our fun though!  We stayed at the ME Cancun resort, which was pretty nice!  Pics from our trip are below:

Pics of our room.  It had a very modern decor.

La Isla Shopping Area

Frankie stading in from of our hotel!

They had these cool beds put out along the beach.

We had dinner at Jimmy Buffett's Margartiaville and Adam ordered this monsterous display of food.

I have no idea what this statue is, I just thought it would be a good photo op.

 

Getting ready for a night out on the town!

My hunky husband!

I thought this picture was cool of Frankie snapping his reflection in the sand.

This guy was set up at one of shopping areas, so we snapped a few pics with him.

This was the Chrismas Tree at the airport in Cancun.

Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving! 

Halloween 2010

Here are pictures from Halloween! Mikayla was a SpiderQueen.  Keeley was a Cheerleader.  Yasmine was a Vampire Girl.

October re-cap

October has flown by!  Only 2 1/2 more weeks until Frankie and I head to Cancun for a 5 day vacation!  WHOO-HOO!  Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks:

Keeley has been BEGGING me to straighten her hair.  I finally did it last Sunday.  She was soo excited.  I think it looks cute, but nothing replaces that curly hair!





Keeley wanted to wear her sunglasses with her straight hair so she could look like Mommy.  She is my little mini-me!

I was suppose to have a business trip to Indianapolis this week.  I had a connection in Chicago and due to the really windy weather, my flight to Indianapolis was cancelled.  All the flights back home for the day were cancelled too...sooooo...I was stuck in Chicago overnight.  What did I do?  Went to Michigan Avenue!!  I had to make the most of it!

Keeley's teacher gave her these silly glasses and she is acting goofy.

GIRLS Weekend!!!!

This weekend, two of my very best friends from college, Cicely and Sara, came down to OKC for a weekend of "girl time".  No kids.  No Hubby's.  Just the three of us...enjoying the wonderful friendship that we share together. 
We stayed at my house on Friday night and then stayed in downtown Oklahoma City on Saturday night.  We had soo much fun and the time went by waayyy too fast.  My abs should be looking really good after this weekend...as much as we laughed, I should have a nice six-pack going:)


Here are some pics of our fun weekend.  I already miss them.  Like really, really, really miss them.  Come back, girls!!

The girls had just got to town and we were getting ready to go out for dinner.

After dinner, we thought it would be fun to go on campus to a bar and have a drink or two.  We forgot that when you are in college, you don't go out until after 10PM.  This picture was taken at 8:30PM and we were the only ones in the entire establishment besides the wait staff!  LOL!

I can't exactly remember what Sara was laughing at, but my guess is that Cicely said something really "wrong" and it made her giggle.

This is not a staged picture.  Sara really was reading the paper and the ads that were in it while sitting at the bar we went to on campus.  I think this picture above is the look Sara gave Cicely and I after we made fun of her for reading the paper.

This was Saturday morning at my house.  As you can see, some things never change.  I can't tell you how many times Cicely would pounce on us in our dorm rooms in college and make us curl up and take a nap with her after our long hard basketball practices.  Frankie thinks we are weird.  I said, "What, didn't you curl up and take naps with your basketball teammates in college?"  His answer was NO!

We got a good laugh out of this picture.  Sara is 5 foot 2 inches.  Cicely is 5 foot 10 inches.  Cicely thought it would be funny to try on Sara's jeans.  This picture doesn't really give it justice as to how funny this really was.

We are at our hotel getting ready for a night on the town!  Sara likes to joke that three of us are tripletts and that Cicely and I sucked out all the nutrients, which is why she is soo little.

Had to do a silly pose for the camera.

I love this picture.  This was after we had dinner.

OK.  The funniest part about this picture is the girl walking by.  You can tell she is thinking to herself... "What a wierdo!".  In the mean time, Cicely decided to have fun with one of the halloween props.

Here we are on our way back to the hotel.  Cicely didn't have the best shoes for walking.

We decided to stop and take a photo shoot in the middle of the sidewalk.

I have no idea what we are doing in this picture.

We were walking by this police car, so we made Cicely go lean up against the car and act like she was getting in trouble with the law.

We made it back to our hotel and were snuggled up in bed all before midnight.  We may not be able to hang like we use to...but we still had just as much fun together like we did in College!
