Picking up where I left off.. July!!

So.. making up for lost time.. My last post was in June, so I will have to play catch-up! In July my lovely cousin Nicki & my BFF Lauren threw me a baby shower to welcome baby Emily into the world. There were quite a few people that came out to celebrate. I was pretty surprised at the turnout to be honest. There were a few people that came that I have known since middle school!! It felt like a reunion! Here are a few pictures from the shindig. I wish I had more pictures, but I wasn't in charge of my camera, so I didn't get very many pictures at all :(


Here's a picture of the yummy food.. and yes that is me in the background with half of my head cut off! (told ya I didn't get any good pics) My lovely niece made the picture though! Sweet baby!

This is one a picture of one of the MANY games we played.. sadly though this is the only picture I have of ANY of the games :(
I hope you enjoyed my 2 pictures LOL! The shower was very pretty though and we had a lot of fun!! Thank you Nicki & Lauren for hosting it and thank you to everyone that attended! It was a nice quick trip home, full of family.. friends & food!!

Back Blogging!

I realize that I haven't written a blog since June! I'm a bad blogger.. I know! BUT in my defense my computer broke shortly after my last entry.. so.. my hubby got me a new one.. and then it broke! LOL! My luck with computers hasn't been very good. Luckily the newest computer was still under warranty so it had to be sent back to Dell (BTW I HATE Dell computers) and serviced and I just recently got it back.. so.. now its time to make up for all of the blogging I haven't done :)

Our most recent trip to FL

Last weekend (6/5) we headed back to Tallahassee one more time for a QUICK trip!! We had a late start leaving so we didn't get in until midnight!! It was a really long drive!! So... saturday morning I got up and met with Lauren for some Bagel Bagel & shopping.. and of course to get some sweet loving from her baby!! We had a really nice morning together!

At 2 I had to go to a baby shower, for my brother's new baby! I am getting a Niece!!! I am so excited to finally have a niece of my very own to spoil rotten!!! Baby Madalynn is expected to arrive July 1st!! We are sooooooo excited!! It was such a beautiful shower! The ladies that threw it really out did themselves!! I love baby showers!!!

After the shower was over I headed back over to Tony's parents house to celebrate his moms birthday.. We had a YUMMY shrimp boil, and I stopped and picked up a delicious cream cheese & Raspberry cake!! It was soooooo good!! We all had a really nice time, and we got to spend even more time playing with Lauren's baby Madison!! Madison is probably the most happy baby ever, and she is ALWAYS a joy to be around!!

On sunday beore we had to head out, we met up with some friends for brunch!! It was very last minute, but I'm so glad it worked out!! It was really nice to catch up with the Hagertys! The food was great & so was the company!! Can't beat that!! We had such a nice visit.. Can't wait to go back for another visit!

Nanny got married!

My Nanny (grandma) got married!!! There's not a whole lot to blog about.. thats pretty straight forward LOL! Here are some pics of her little shindig..

Olivia's FL party

Olivia has to be the luckiest girl ever!! She had a party with her Charleston friends.. a bday party with her mommy & daddy... and a Chuck E Cheese party with her Tallahassee friends & family!!

Here is a picture of the birthday girl... She looks thrilled.. I know..



Here is a picture of some of our guests..



The YUMMY cake we got from the cake shop!!



and this was the beginning of the opening of presents!!

LIv's first Mani & Pedi

Tony was out of town on Olivia's actual 3rd birthday, so Olivia and I decided to drive up to see him that evening.. before we left we did a little celebrating on our own!! I told Olivia we would go to breakfast anywhere she wanted to, and she picked IHOP! Which is funny because we're not frequent IHOP goers... in fact she'd only been there once before.. but anyways.. we went to IHOP For breakfast, and Olivia of course was decked out in her birthday girl outfit, complete with a little tiara :) The staff at IHOP came out and sang to her, she wasn't too sure about that LOL! During breakfast I was talking to Olivia about getting her nails done... this of course appealed to her.. LOL.. so after breakfast we were off to get her very first mani & pedi.. I of course had to take pictures!! Enjoy!!

Rain Rain DON'T go away!!

For awhile there we were getting quite a bit of rain.... Whats a girl to do besides put on her monkey boots, a jacket & grab the umbrella!!! Here are some pics of our princess playing in the rain :)
