blessed

as the month of april comes to a close ... its seems like a month of celebrations are ending too.
i am reminded how blessed i truly am.

i have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, an awesome family and great friends.
i couldn't ask for much more ... except a successful and fufilling career for the husband.
i truly hope he gets all he ever dreamed of. come what may.

party time

after a month of numerous birthday celebrations -- a visit home, a trip to seaworld and a birthday/family dinner ... 

we have officially conquered our first home spun party ... and it was an overall success.
several of the kiddo's friends from school came over and enjoyed some snacks, drinks and a bounce or two in the 'jumpy castle' as heidi likes to call it.

much fun to be had by all ... and now i need a nap hehe :)

in the end, it is all worth it ... just to see a smile on my little brown eyed beauty's face.

obviously ... the bounce house was a huge hit :)

the kiddo was a tad devastated when it had to be returned this morning ... poor thing.

wanderlust

so we traveled home for the kiddo's first weekend celebration for her birthday. we figured it out and we'll be celebrating heidi's 3rd birthday every weekend in april :) lucky girl.


back in dallas we shopped, went to the aquarium, saw a movie, took pictures in the bluebonnets, and spent some quality time with friends and family. it was nice to get away for awhile.

back in del rio, we will continue the birthday festivities. seaworld this weekend, heidi's official party the following weekend, and base's big easter celebration on the last weekend of the month. fun times will be had :)

love to all of those i saw while we were home; i miss you all.
thanks for making our trip fun and memorable.

and just think ... only six more months till we find out what fun adventures our lives will take next.
