Hot Springs Weekend!

Sunday, May 23, 2010
Ok so here are some of my favorite pics from the weekend in Hot Springs! We left on Friday and stayed until Monday morning! It was so much fun just to hang out just the two of us! On Friday we hit the road and of course stopped to get Sonic for a traditional road trip treat! We stopped at the Crater of Diamonds park and dug for diamonds! It was hot and fun but no diamonds... Then we headed out to our bed and breakfast! When we arrived at our B&B it was so cute and we just loved it! Friday night we went on a date to celebrate our marriage and our weekend at Belle Arti which was a local italian rest. it was yummy!! Saturday we went to a bath tub race in downtown which was hilarious! We toured bath houses, hit up the gangster museum, shopped, hiked up the mountain to the tower, bought some yummy fudge and ended the day at On The Border!! Sunday was my birthday! We had a delicious breakfast at our B&B which included stuffed french toast!! sooo good!! Then we went to a botanical garden and saw gorgeous waterfalls, hiked trails, smelled the flowers , got rained on...i mean pouring rained on, toured a breathe taking chapel, and relaxed together. We had a wonderful trip! If you haven't been to Hot Springs you should try it out at least once!! :)

Ok so it's yucky outside and I didn't even want to run outside in the no sunshine morning so I headed to the treadmill and watched Rachel Ray! love her! Random post yes, but I am thankful today for family, friends, and what God has done! With God nothing is impossible!!
Here are a few cute pics! I am still needing to upload the pics from our Hot Springs weekend! We had a blast!

Our puppy Parker! He is wanting the cookie that I have in my hand and has also noticed that Aunt Penny and Memaw Hogan make yummy cookies!
My handsome husband Ross! Here we are at the top of the Hot Springs Tower where we hiked through the trail in the humid air to get to the top! Yes, Ross actually went outside and walked around in the midst of nature! He was a trooper! The view was gorgeous!
The LaPrade family! (well minus Parker) We are touring the Spa house in Hot Springs and took a quick snap shop of the two of us!
Have a Great Friday!!

Frisco Roughriders Game!

Friday, May 7, 2010
A few weeks ago on Girls Night we decided to do something a little different! We bought tickets to the Frisco Roughriders game! We had a blast! We got the tickets at Kroger for $7 tickets for the game, a hotdog, and a super cool baseball hat! The Roughriders lost which was a bummer but we enjoyed the music and the mascots!! Dancing and cheering on the team as the night went on!


Britt and I at the game! Tam joined in a little later for the baseball fun!
We enjoyed hotdogs, french fries, and a yummy pretzel!
Hopefully we will have another girls night at the baseball fields and the
Frisco Roughriders will win!!

What an amazing God created us and put us here to worship and lead the life he has called us to lead. Through difficult days I seek him boldly to follow the path set before me in his direction and guidance. I just love waking up and seeing the gorgeous day that he has created and at night looking at the moon and thinking wow God created the moon and me!
