SPRING BREAK 2009 AND A LITTLE BRAGGING ABOUT MY HUSBAND!

We have had a great spring break! Our week started out with the girls going to visit their aunt, uncle, and cousins in Owasso. They had so much fun! I believe that they spoiled them rotten! They went to a movie, roller skating, bowling, had a picnic at the park, out to eat many a times, had a cook out at a friends house, went shopping, made bracelets, did their nails and I'm sure alot more that I have forgotten to include! I believe that they were busy from sun up to sun down!
While the girls were at their cousins, Randy and I were able to go on a trip that he won through work. We went to Orange County, California! Oh those days were so blissful!! We didn't find out until almost the end of February that Randy had actually won the trip but we were so excited when we heard the good news. The trip was a reward for being one of the top sellers at AT&T for 2008 in the southern region of the U.S. I was so very proud of Randy....he has only been at AT&T since December of 2007 and was able to make it to the top in 1 year. This trip is considered the ultimate reward at his work. There have been people that have been with the company for 15 years and just got to go on the trip this year, so needless to say, for Randy to do it in a year was so exciting!!! He gives 200% to his job so for him to be rewarded so generously was wonderful! We stayed at the St. Regis Resort and Spa in Dana Pointe, California. It was absolutely beautiful! We had the most amazing time! The food was great and the friends that we made were great and so fun. I absolutely loved just getting to be Randy's wife for a couple of days...some times I just feel like I'm Alexis' and Isabella's mom...which is great BUT I truly love being his wife so that was one of my favorite things about the trip. We got to go out on the Pacific Ocean and watch dolphins swim with our boat, go to Disneyland, go to Laguana Beach for dinner. They treated us so great while we were there...it was like our wish was their command! For those of you who know me well......that's the perfect world that I'm always looking for to live in!! AT&T really treated us great the whole time we were there! Randy works with a great group of people and I got the chance to meet them and their spouses and we just had the best time hanging out with all of them! When we would call to check on the girls we could barely get 2 words out of them because they were so busy doing things! That made the trip a lot easier for me to enjoy since I wasn't having to worry about them. This was the first time I had ever really left Isabella for several days in a row and I was very nervous and worried about that. I knew Alexis would be fine but I was anxious about Isabella and that she would want me. HaHa, I don't think she even missed me in the slightest!! We ended the week by going to Cuppies and Joe's with Nana and going to eat Mexican food with Mimi! Next week~ I'm going to have to go on a diet!!!! (Ok well for some reason I can't type under the pictures so I'll just tell you what each one is here!)
The first one is one of the many fountains at our hotel. This one is out front.
The second one is a sunrise view from our balcony.
The third one is of us and the store manager at Randy's store and his wife Amber. I LOVED getting to know her!
The forth one is a sunset view from out on the lawn at the hotel.
The last one is the view from one of the balconies at the hotel. You can see the flower garden just past the pool, then the golf course, then the Pacific ocean.
It was so beautiful there!!

WEEKEND FUN!!

What a fun weekend we had! On Friday evening I went out with my LifeGroup girls. We went to Ted's (mexican food) to eat and then went over to a little cupcake shop that recently opened in the area. It's called Cuppies and Joe's. It is so cute with a fun little atmosphere! We had a great time but I always have fun when I'm with those girls!! The girls stayed with my parents while Randy finished up working and then he headed over there to pick them up. Alexis got a cooking lesson from my mom in how to make pizza! She loved it! She wants to take cooking lessons from my mom so I guess this was her first one! Then on Saturday we went to my niece's dance recital. She did a great job! After her recital all of the family went to lunch at another mexican food place. Don't worry I could eat mexican food everyday if I had to....that's what I craved when I was pregnant with the girls! We always have a good time when we are with our family! Then the girls and I did a little shopping with Randy's mom. We had such a great day! On Sunday, Alexis woke up with a really bad cough and fever so we didn't get to go to church. My nephew had stayed the night with us though so at least he was here to keep the girls company! They loved having him here! Well..sorry I didn't get to post any pics with this post but for some reason I couldn't find it on my camera.
