Long Lost Friends

Last Friday Macie and I had the pleasure of sharing lunch with my friend Cassie and her two kids, Ayden and Alyssa, and Cassie's sister Tressie and her brand new baby girl, Morgan.  It was definitely a very busy lunch, but a lot of fun and I'm so glad we got to see them!  I don't get to see Cassie very often anymore because she now lives in California.  Luckily she was passing through Texas on her way back to California (and her mom lives in Stephenville).  We had lunch at La Fiesta in Stephenville and just got to catch up.  After lunch we went over to her mom's house and hung out for a while, so Macie got a chance to play with Ayden and Alyssa.  They played very well, much to my surprise.  I have a bossy, very possessive daughter and I know it so I make sure to warn people before she plays with their kids.  Here are a few pictures from their play date!

Ayden was being so sweet to Macie.

Two sleepy girls!

Trying to get as close to the TV as they could!

Playing together!!

Last night, we went out to eat with the Jared and Mandy Stone and their two little ones, Brooks and Paxton.  Macie just loves Brooks.  Every single time we say his name, she gets really excited and runs around saying BEEEE (that's what she calls him).  After we finished our meal, Jared and Chris took Macie and Brooks out to play on the "rides".  Macie just had a great time!  I didn't get to get a picture of Paxton because she's still at the lounging in the carseat phase of babyhood, but I'm sure as soon as she becomes mobil she will be chasing around these other two crazy kids!  Here are some pictures from the night.

She's so happy playing with Brooks.

Hump Day...

Well, it's Wednesday.  Today, Macie and I are going to Stephenville to pick up a kitten for my mom.  It's a pretty cute tiny tabby cat and I'm not sure if it is male or female yet.  The people I am getting it from say they think it's female, but we'll see.  It doesn't matter because it is just precious.  My mom, sister, and I are all animal lovers and I think Macie is going to end up the same way!  

Yesterday, I decided I was going to go buy paint and start painting our house again.  I've started on the kitchen and I'm about halfway through.  Then I have to paint the entry way and hallway.  After I'm finished with that, who knows what I will move on to.  I want to do Macie's room next, so maybe we'll do that.  I'm in the process of turning it into her toddler room/playroom.  I go through different colors in my head every single day, changing my mind along the way, because I want to make it perfect!  My little princess needs a room she can enjoy and grow into.  

Anyway, I have taken a few pictures this week.  Macie has been pretty entertaining.  She's such a little character.  I just love to watch all of the new things she picks up each day!  I just hope that she doesn't pick up any "bad" habits from me!

This is the little tabby cat that I'm getting for my mom...it's pretty cute!!!

This is the color I picked for the kitchen...it's pretty bold, that's for sure.  I'm going to have to buy a lot of new decorations to match...oh shucks! HEHE!

This is what Macie decided to do while I was unloading groceries.

Macie got to play with her cousins Hannah and Noah.  She loves them!

This is why I think Macie is an animal lover too.  She was giving my cat, Catty, a hug and cuddling with her.  She does this quite a bit.

My little cutie!

I couldn't get her to take a nap all day long and after fighting me for two hours, this is how she passed out.  She looks like a little angel!

New Computer!

Well, we finally got a new laptop.  It was about time too.  We have been using Chris' laptop he got for graduation 6 years ago and it was slowly but surely breaking down on us.  So, now I'm going to have to get my pictures transferred so I can start blogging again.  I know I haven't gotten very many posts up since my arrival on the blogging scene, but I am truly going to try and get this thing going and up to date.  I also went out and bought a wireless router, so I can work on the computer from any room which will make life a lot easier with a one year old running around.  So, here is my promise that I will try my very hardest to post more often!
