Bachelor Party-Daytime

For our bachelor/bachelorette parties, we decided to do separate events during the day, and then have a co-ed party at night. During the day the girls went to Glen Ivy Hot Springs day spa, and the guys went fishing.

So let me start off by saying that the girls did not take any pictures of the day time event....who wants to have pictures taken while they are at the spa? None the less, the spa was amazing. There were mineral baths, red clay mud baths and much more. The day was a little cold, but was still a lot of fun.

The men had to wake up at 3:30am to go fishing....YIKES! Here are some pictures. Please note that it is very early, yet there are beers in hand.

Bridal Shower #1

Last weekend was my first bridal shower. This shower was for the Liebel side. It was thrown by Val and Jen. The day started off a little cold, but it was a wonderful day.
This is one of the cutest pictures I have ever seen. This is Jasmine, Greg and Jessica Delgado's daughter. Jasmine likes dogs but took a little while to get the courage to play with Bailee. Bailee was also a little aprehensive, because she has not been around very many children in her life. I wasn't aware of this at the time, but I guess Jasmine kept shutting Bailee inside the house with her, so they could play...too cute!

We had a couple of great games we played. One was a wor search, and the other was called "spice it up". This is where there were spices that people had to identify without being able to see the spice....very difficult. We all had a lot of fun playing these games.

Here is Christine, Katie, John Patrick, Barbara, and Enalyn. It was nice to see the newest addition to the Liebel family. And it was really great that Katie was in town that weekend!

This is while I was opening gifts. Bailee is never too far away. Just for the record, I did NOT break any bows....YIPPEE!

More gift opening.


Me and Christine. She was nice enough to make my bow bouquet, and it turned out great.


Val, me, and Jen. My new family and the hostesses of this perfect event.


Bailee took advantage of having guests around and decided to show off her amazing tricks.

The aftermath. Bailee had a very busy day running around and visiting everyone. Afterwards, she passed out.


The day turned out so great, and really made me realize how soon the wedding will be here. 43 days and counting!

Have you ever loved something so much?

Our dogs love tennis balls. I mean LOVE them. We recently discovered that my friend Tammy plays tennis and has lots of extra tennis balls that no longer have any bounce. She was nice and gave us a ton of tennis balls. So I threw them all on the floor at once and let Layla and Bailee go crazy.


Here is Bailee laying by all of her new tennis balls.


Layla was running around trying to fit all of the balls in her mouth at once.



Bailee was happy as can be on the couch with a pillow and a tennis ball. How awesome would it be to have this life?

The Trouble with Flowers

Since we bought our house last year, I have been having an issue with the flowers in the front of our house. My first issue was that we didn't have any flowers, so we got some. Then after planting them, I discovered that I did not like the flowers we got. But we just left them anyways. Now that we have a new summer season, I wanted to get flowers that I really liked. First I got beautiful dalia's, but they died. So back to Home Depot I went. I really wanted some bright beautiful perennianls that could handle a lot of sun. I quickly discovered that the pickings were slim. So finally I decided to plant annuals since there is a much better selection.

Finally, pretty flowers in the front of our house!

What a Difference Furniture Can Make!!!

Up until this weekend, we had a lot of empty space in our home. We bought our house a little big, assuming that one day would be able to fill it up. Lucky for us, we were able to fill it a lot sooner than we expected. Tommy and Enalyn are remodeling their home, so were able to get some of their terrific furniture for our home.

I am working on getting some placemats and napkins to tie in the formal living room colors. I was able to find this awesome centerpiece that matches perfectly.


This furniture came just in time. We were able to put a lot of stuff in this hutch, which will give us more room in our kitchen (Need Desperately). And we still have one empty shelf for additional barware.

The complete set. Our new dining room table! I am so excited! I have been dying for a dining room set to fill this room.

We also got a couch for our bonus room upstairs. Before this, all we had in the room was a small fridge.

My Bailee is very fond of this couch. Everytime she runs upstairs she has to jump on the couch!
A BIG THANKS to Tommy and Enalyn for thinking of us, and giving us this terrific stuff!
