Bravo!

This past weekend I went to Dallas for Laney's 1st Birthday party!  She doesn't officially turn 1 until Friday so it hasn't hit me quite yet.  But it was such a wonderful trip home!  I flew in on Thursday night and Lisney picked me up and took me Taco Bueno! My goal was to eat as much mexican food as I possibly could and I succeed! 

On Saturday I got up to go watch Laney for the day!  I'm pretty sure she recognized me, that or she's just the most friendly girl ever and doesn't know a stranger, which is also possible. She will say "Bravo" and clap her hands and it's just the cutest thing ever.  Even when she does something she's not supposed to do, she will say Bravo and you can't be made at her!  She is still in love with Elmo and will randomly say his name too.

We watched some Dragon Tails, took a nap, watch Barney, and had a  dance off.

And we laughed a whole lot to.  This is one funny girl.

She is even eating big girl food now!  She had mini pancakes and grapes for breakfast.  And then had cubed ham and more grapes for lunch!  Such a big girl!

Then we went and met Nona for lunch at Potbelly where she ate more grapes and chips.  Then we ran some errands to get ready for her party.  Running errands with a baby is a totally new experience for me.  I kept having to make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind and we had everything and god for bid that I didn't leave her in the car!  God bless all you moms out there.  But we went to Old Navy, Target and Party City and the poor girl was so hot.  She started to cry every time I had to put her back in that hot car seat.  And since she has to face backwards I don't know how she gets any air.  

Then I went to David and Katherine's beautiful new home in Dallas and we went to dinner at Matt's...a Mexican restaurant in Dallas. This was my first time to see them since they got engaged!  Their wedding is in October and we're really looking forward to it.  

Then I met some people out at a bar in Dallas for some drinks!  Yes I actually called around to find bars that had Boulevard Wheat and that's where we went!

Then Saturday was Miss Laney's 1st birthday party!!  She was such a trooper and I'm sure she knew the entire day was about her.  She was smiling and laughing and putting on a show for everyone.

It was a wonderful party and she was quite the birthday princess!  Aunt Amy and Aunt Angela loaded her up with fun beach clothes and stuff for her trip to Florida in July!

Then I headed to birthday party #2 for the day.  Christian had his 9th birthday party at Main Event.  Then we went back to Amy and Dennis's for a slumber party.  Alyson came over and we had some good sister time!  I spend the night at Alyson's and was able to hang out with Laney in the morning before her nap.  


I then stopped by Lisney's parents house to see them!  It was so nice to see Mom and Dad P and catch up!  Then I met my dad and Marilyn at EL NORTE for lunch!  I ate so much it was my only meal for the day!


And then it was on my way back to Orlando and home with Kyle and AW.  I'm glad that I got to be there for Laney's 1st birthday!  I can't promise to make it back for all her birthdays but this one was pretty special.  


Next up, Jeff and Leah will be in Orlando TONIGHT to spend Memorial Day weekend with us!  This will be their first trip out here since we moved and I can not wait to show them around.  They actually came to Disneyworld for their honeymoon 5 years ago so it will be a special trip for them too!


Sorry it's been so long since my last post.  I promise to post all our adventures this summer.  We have something / someone visiting every weekend until August!
