Where have we been?!?

Ok so it has been forever since I last posted so I thought I would give a brief update. In April Nick was out of town for 2 weeks and then I was gone for 2 seperate weekends to Las Vegas on some girls' trips. (I know I am spoiled with great freinds and a understanding husband.) In May we spent most of the month picking up the left over pieces from April and battling that nasty cold that has been going around. Each of us got it, plus Drew had an ear and eye infection and then Nick got his eye infection! So here it is the end of May and we are looking forward to a much warmer, and healthier June! Oh and yes! We did hear the baby's heartbeat! The little bugger finally decided to partipate and show up!! :)

Kelly, Shelby, Jakelle, me, Shannon & Portia

We decided to make it like the old days working and go on a trip! It was fun to hang out with friends that I consider close like sisters and get dolled up to go out, and sleep in! We had massages, and went to the show "O" which if I had seen when I was younger would of died to be in! Those performers are amazing!!

Second vegas trip!! Shopping, good dining and basking in the sun!! What more could a girl ask for? I love all of these girls! With both trips, I hadn't seen most of them for well over a year. You know you have good friend when you can just pick up where you left off, and feel totally comfortable in minutes.


Ok so here is the thing. I was trying on my swimmsuits to see which ones I would take on my trips and Drew thought that this one was absolutely great!! He just had to try it on and was so proud!!




Drew learned that he has two ears and two nostrils. When I told him not to pick his nose he couldn't resist shoving both fingers up there just to show that he could!

Play date with Kendra!! Giving love one minute, and then taking a break the next!

Leslie and I took the kids to Gatway because it was hot and we thought that they would enjoy the foutains. Plus I was looking to get some cute pictures of them. They decided however, that it was much more fun to sit on their towels and eat snacks while the other kids got wet. Little stinkers!! It was still way fun though!

That picture with Drew in your swimsuit is great. Sound like you had a rough time with everyone getting sick. Vegas sounds like fun though.

Hi Nick and Janessa! I've had so much fun checking out everyone's blogs since Abbie and Jill got me addicted. Just wanted to say "Hi!" Drew is adorable, and you take great pictures (duh)! You were pregnant when I saw you last at Emily's wedding. Congrats on the latest bun in the oven! Hope you guys are doing great!

Emily Smith said...

This is a strange thing to say, but I just wanted to add that I always treasured the pictures you took of my little Anthony and Em's wedding because he was bit in the face by a dog not 2 weeks later and had 35 stitches by a plastic surgeon! Yikes! Anyway, now more than 2 years later, you really can hardly see the scars, but as a mother those are the best pictures of his little perfect "pre-scarred" face. So, THANKS!
