Welcome Home Barbie!

Every time we have been to our neighbors house, Reese has enjoyed playing in little Blake's Barbie house. A few weeks ago Blake's mommy called and said that since Blake was 8 years old she decided she was to old for her Barbie house and she wanted Reese to have it.

Moving Day
On Sunday Reese was starting to feel better from having Hand, Foot and Mouth so we thought it might be a fun day to get the house. We headed over to the Caffrey's to hang out and watch the Daddy's move the house. It was so funny watching the Daddy's moving this thing down the sidewalk with dollys. Think...when you see a truck with a double wide on the highway! They needed a wide load sign:)



Once they got the house moved we hung out for awhile and had pie. Poor Reese had horrible blisters in her mouth and had barely eaten in 4 days so when she expressed an interest in chocolate pie I said sure. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it what do you think? Ha!



First thing Monday morning Reese wanted to go play in her "ouse" as she says it. We spent most of the day playing outside.




On Monday night I went to get my haircut and when I came back this is what I found....

Not only did Reese talk Daddy into getting McDonalds for dinner but they had a picnic in the Barbie house! I had left them a weight watcher casserole to cook.(Hmm maybe they are trying to tell me something:)! Bob said they had a great time and Reese just loves her little house.

Here is the only picture we got of sweet Blake..


I pray that when Reese is 8 years old that she will have that same sweet and generous spirit. First we have to get past the "no no mine" stage..sigh!

Shark a Rosa!!

My friend told me about this ranch in Pilot Point called Sharkarosa. Oh my gosh..we had a BLAST! Reese absolutely loved every minute of it.

This is right by the front entrance and there were baby kangaroos in those pouches.


There are kangaroos, lemurs, monkeys, camels and a few deer that you can walk around and look at before getting on the train.


Once you get on the train they take you through all the exhibits. They hang these feed buckets on the side of the train so the animals come running when they see the train. It was so cool! They stop the train and tell you which animals are safe to pet and which ones you should just look.

The first stop were these huge Clydesdales. They were sweet and you could pet them. As the train was taking off Reese said, "Bye Bye Doggies."





Next were these camels. They were really nice and you could pet them but they were ugly! Yikes!



This one kept getting right up in Reese's face like he wanted to kiss her. Reese wasn't bothered at all but it was kinda freaking me out so I had to pick her up:)


We told her they were camels and she said "camel". Then when the train took off again she said, "Bye Bye Doggies"! Ha!

Next we went into an exhibit that had all kind of animals. Zebras, donkeys, deer, lama, pigs, and a few others that I forgot the names.



I really like zebras so I made sure for Reese to see one and she said "zebra". Still though as the trained pulled of she said, "Bye Bye Doggies"! Funny funny girl:)

You just can't have a fun outing like this without some Double Dips!!



Followed by some swimming with Daddy.



and of course Nike!




I normally don't let Nike get in the pool with us but Bob is a pushover:) Nike was in doggie heaven!



Go here if you want to check outSharkarosa It was only about 25 mins away and cheap too. It's not fancy but it sure was fun:)

Bye Bye Doggies!

Wordless Wednesday- Bathing Beauty!

Reese Claire Thomas Esquire

Reese recently paid a visit to Daddy's office. She seems to have everything under control so we decided to skip pre-school and go ahead and enroll her in law school..ha!

Mother's Day 2009

I'm so thankful for this little person who calls me Mommy.


Look what Bob and Reese gave me for Mother's Day....


Are they not the cutest people you have ever seen? I just LOVE these pictures. I had to scan them in so they are a little fuzzy. There is also one more really big picture of just Reese but it was WAY to big to scan. We are gonna have it framed and hang it in the playroom. I suspected they were up to something when a few Saturdays ago they were up and out the door really early and dressed in matching shirts! Bob almost never picks out Reese's clothes for the day especially matching:)



We had a nice relaxing Mother's Day which was just what I wanted. We went to church, all three took naps and then played outside.



Hope everyone of you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Bob's Birthday Weekend!

When my mom asked Bob what he wanted for his birthday, he said for her to babysit so he and I could go out. So this weekend my folks came to town to babysit. While we were trying to decide what we wanted to do we decided to go away over night. Partly because last weekend was the first time we had ever left Reese overnight and I feel like I need a little practice before our trip in June. Overnight was fine but by morning I was really missing her...I'm not sure I'm gonna make 4 days away. Ya'll are gonna have to give me some advice?? Also Nannie and Poppy really love keeping Reese and I have realized that she behaves much better for them when I am not around...little stinker!

On Saturday morning we headed to "The W Hotel" in downtown Dallas. This was Bob's choice of hotel since after all it is his birthday. He always likes to go check out the new trendy places and it was really trendy. Lots of "beautiful" people hang out there, I'm pretty sure we weren't trendy or beautiful enough and although we had a great time we probably wouldn't pick it again...just FYI. We spent the afternoon at the spa getting massages. They were awesome!

On Saturday night we went to eat at the original Bob's Steakhouse. We love the one here in Plano so we decided to check out the original and my Bob was excited to get to meet the "Bob" of Bob's Steakhouse! They also brought him this yummy dessert..it was soooo good!



On Sunday morning we slept in until the late hour of 7:40am. Pretty sad that is considered sleeping late for us! It actually is late since Reese usually gets up between 6:00 and 6:30. We hit Panera for some coffee and then headed home to see our Reesey P.

One of Bob's favorite meals is fried chicken. Not only do I not care that much about eating fried chicken I would certainly NEVER cook it. So when we got home my Mom made Bob some good old fashioned fried chicken and a cake. He is a bit spoiled:)

Reese was SO excited about the cake. I suspect she might have already had a taste of the icing while Nannie was making it although Nannie said no..yeah right! She really didn't actually eat much cake at her first birthday and I normally don't offer her sweets so this was a real treat for her. Boy did she finally figure out what she has been missing..look at this girl eating her some cake....

(we had just finished the very messy meal of fried chicken where the girl got food all over her shirt..please excuse the shirtless kid)



After lunch we gave Nannie her Mother's Day gift since we won't see her again for awhile. Reese and I tried to get Bob to open his birthday presents but he wanted to wait for his actual birthday tomorrow. Happy Birthday Daddy...Reese and I love you lots!
