"Having a Ball"

I just wanted to share a couple of pics from my dessert ball business. It was for a little girl turning two and it was a Hawaiian Theme. I need a girl next :). I just love the hot pink!

My Precious little man

My sister-in-law took this pic of cole and I just loved it so much I had to post it

Family Reunion 2009

This past weekend we had Eric’s side of the family-family reunion in San Angelo. Unfortunately Eric was working so he didn’t get there until Sunday night (the reason he is not in one picture) but Cole and I had such a blast. Rainnie and Ramon brought their boat which everyone was so grateful for and Grammy bought the kids some fishing poles. Cole loves his fishing pole so much that is all he can talk about is when he gets to fish next. Here are pics from our fun filled weekend that went by entirely to fast.

Weekend Getaway

Well I have been pretty busy lately and feel like I haven’t update my blog in centuries. Okay so I have a little confession to make. I was recently introduced to the Twilight Saga (yes I know it came out years ago but…) so when I am not at work or taking care of Cole I am reading. I have one more book to go and then I will have my life back. That being said, the weekend before last my brother & I escaped Midland and braved taking all three kids to Canyon Lake to see my best friend Kati her husband and some other friends. We had such an amazing time and as always it was more than wonderful to get to see Kati. I miss her more than anything and its hard being away from your best friend especially 8 hours (she lives in Houston). Here are a few pics from our weekend get away, okay more than a few but I figured I would make up for not updating in a while. The water was a little low from that area not getting much rain lately but that didn’t stop us from having a blast.

Lake Fun

I have been a little behind on my blog updates. But thought I would update with some pics from our trip to the lake a couple of weekends ago. Becky and I went to San Angelo to see our friend Kanji. They have a little boy around Cole’s age and they have so much fun together!!! Of course we always has a blast too!! Here are a few pics from that weekend

Fourth of July Fun

Our Fourth of July weekend was a blast despite having to stay in town. Staycations are our new thing and we make the best of them. Friday we celebrated my uncle George’s bday then Saturday I was up early getting ready to make our “Red, White and Balls” package for Shandi. I have to toot our horn because they were delicious and we got great feedback from the family. We headed over to Eric’s aunt to swim and we had so much fun. The boys all got this bright idea to have their own version of the Japanese game show & after a little coercing us girls even joined in. I wish I had pictures to share because it’s much funnier to see than to hear about. After lots of fun in the sun the clouds came and it was time to head over to Becky & Jarred’s for a BBQ. Her sister Jennifer brought her little boys Brock & Hudson over and they all had so much fun. I think Cole had some new best friends. Our friends Brandy and Andy brought sparklers over & the boys just loved them (so did the adults). We ended the night watching fireworks on the roof. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend with great friends & family. Here are a few pics

New Business Venture

I thought I would let everyone know about my new business venture I decided to embark on with my bestie Becky. She approached with me an idea of making desserts, breakfast and appetizers all in the shape of balls. At first I was hesitant to say yes because all of those who know me know that I am not one to do a lot of cooking and have always told myself I can't well then I realized until you try something how are ever going to know if it will work out. So I said yes and I am so glad I did. Plus I figured considering our financial situation right now it wouldn't hurt to make a little extra side money. So I said yes and am so glad I did because we had our first gig last Sunday and have two more that have been booked for this week and next week. We definitely realize this is all a work in progress and we can only get better but everyone starts out some where. So I present to you our name and website "Having a Ball" at www.gohaveaball.net /. I also have blog started to keep track of our events http://www.gohaveaball.blogspot.com/. Thank you to Terri and Brandi for support and for hooking us up with our first event. We are so grateful!!
