Maddy's first BIG hair cut!

Last night I was going to quickly trim Maddy's hair and she said, " I want it cut like my friend, Jessilyn's."

I said, " Really, that's pretty short? Well we can go tomorrow after school then"

So, armed with a picture of Jessilyn (who has a bob) we went to get Maddy's hair cut!

She cut right where her fingers are

I think it turned out way cute, although I haven't really styled it yet. I guess you will see more in the upcoming blog posts right?

Valentines Celebration

Friday evening Aaron and I went to our church's Valentine's Banquet and danced and laughed and had a great time. Whenever we go out, just the two of us, I am reminded even more how much I love him and what a great friend he is. Saturday Jake's baseball tryouts were postponed because of the great rain shower we got that morning so we just hung out for a bit and then went shopping for sports equipment. Jacob got a new bat and cleats and Maddison got shoes, shin guards, and a ball for soccer.

For dinner I made (our traditional v-day meal) Crawfish Ettoufee and for dessert, my special Chocolate Mousse!

El Paso GIRLS Weekend

Last weekend 9 of my closest TX girl friends and I got to go to El Paso for a Beth Moore event! We had a wonderful time. The weekend was full of memories and laughs. Tears too were present, what can you expect with 10 women (3 of whom pregnant!). At the conference we got to "trash" the trash we'd been holding onto and search for the treasure God has for us. The conference topic was based on Hebrews 10:23-25, 32-39. Great stuff! After the conference on Saturday we got to go shopping and decided to go to a movie (a VERY rare treat)! We saw Bride Wars and thought it was cute our husbands were pleased because that is one less chick flick they may be pressured to see. Here are a few pics from our weekend.

This isn't all of us (I tried) all 10 of us took up one elevator
