my silly dog

Bella is so funny. I spent part of the weekend at my dad's house. Bella is NOT used to being able to run free and she did plenty of it since the backyard is fenced in. WELL she got real excited and started doing laps all around the yard. I was laughing so hard until she leaped into the deep end of our pool. I was all ready to dive in to save her life but little did I know that she could swim!!! She has never been swimming before. It's good to know she won't drown if she ever jumps into the pool again!

Congratulations Ashley!

Congrats to Ashley!

She just found out she is having another little boy and I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!

I can't wait until he is born!

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm really putting this picture up here just because i think it is cute. This is from this past Saturday. We celebrated Heather's birthday again!!! Her boyfriend was out of town the weekend before so he planned a dinner party for her. We went to Midtowne in North Hills - so niiiiiiiiiiiice and expensive! I got one of the cheaper meals and it was very yummy. Heather lives at my apartment complex so I end up seeing her almost everyday of the week. We have been friends for 3 years now but just recently seem to be inseparable (we worked together at the YMCA Joyner afterschool program as well as her current boyfriend)! She has become one of my very best friends and I am super thankful for her! I love you Heather!

cheese fest

A couple of weeks ago John was crawling around and would stop every now and then to smile for a picture! Below are some of his "cheeses" and they are so cute! I was laughing so hard. I have a few more than this but these are the best ones! Enjoy!

update on bella boo

Guess what? Bella is crate trained! FINALLY! If I say, 'go to your crate' so will go! And she no longer cries/barks when I leave. So that is great.

She is not completely trained though - she refuses to learn how to shake. And I will think she is house trained but then sometimes she sneaks off and is naughty! She is full grown now (i think) and has most of her shots. She is almost 5 months old so she will be able to be spayed once she is 6 months!

My friends Heather and Chuck are her 'godparents.' (sorry Catherine). She just loves them and she spends a lot of time at their apartment. They love her too!

my boys!

This was actually from a couple of weeks ago but I thought it was too cute! This is Camden, John and Nicholas in John's crib! Ashley and Camden were over for a play date and Nicholas was home from school. John had just woken up and Nicholas crawled in the crib and then Camden wanted to as well. Of course, I had to run and get my camera! Camden just loves baby John and he had so much fun with Nicholas this day too! They had a water balloon fight in the driveway! It was definitely a fun day! :-)

Jen and I!

Ashley, me and Jessica

I have been friends with these ladies for such a long time! About 8 years!! I am so fortunate to have such great friends. Last Friday we were able to have a play date with all the kids (I had baby John of course then also Camden, Claire and Ava)! We had a fun time - we took them to Laurel Hills Park and I managed to get these pictures taken! Jessica is moving to Washington D.C. in a few weeks so I am a little sad about that. It was a great time to spend together as it happens very rarely now and will be happening even less! We missed you Catherine!!!!!!!!

I love you girls!!!

Saturday
