LB's 33rd Birthday

This year I turned 33-AHHH! It stinks getting old! But at least I have great friends to celebrate it with!! They all planned a girls night out for us....we went to City Walk in Orlando and ate at Bubba Gumps, then to Red Coconuts for a little dancing to the house band....then decided to head out once more to the dance hall at the boardwalk to dance the night away....all of us girls love to get out and dance and have a good time but with kids and families that is kinda hard to do so this was a great opportunity for us to all get out and have a good time! Thanks to all my girls! Darnell, Serena, Christa, Krissy, Carrie, Misty, Milena & Stacy

Rylee's 9th Birthday

January 22, 2009 Rylee turned 9 years old! I cant believe my baby is already 9- time flys by!! She decided she wanted to have a slumber party this year- so we had a pizza party at Pizza Hut and invited all the boys and girls and parents. Then afterwards we took all the girls back home for a slumber party. Well just to give a little inside scoop- my back went completely out the day of the party so thank goodness Danielle stayed over to be the helper- I would not have been able to make it thru without her!! We had stations around the house to do the girls nails, make-up and hair. And we actually used one of her gifts- a bracelet making kit and all the girls got to make a cute bracelet to take home. The best part of the night was the talent show- all the girl got into groups and made up a dance to perform for everyone! I am sure this is a party she will not soon forget!! I luv you my little Ry Ry bug!!

New Years Eve Celebration Continued!!

After spending a nice time during the day with the kids....we dropped them off at my parents and met up with our close friends Danielle & Joey Brooks and headed out to Orlando. We had a hard time deciding where to go for dinner since everywhere was such a long wait~ so we decided to go to the old faithful Olive Garden in Celebration....but it actually worked out since we had not been there in a long time. It was so nice ...we were able to get a table right away and eat dinner. We had already planned ahead and bought tickets to the Atlantic Dance Hall at The Boardwalk. And thank goodness we did because it seemed to be sold out~ people were waiting in line when we got there for others to leave so they could get in!! ......We had a great time dancing all night and watching the fireworks. We watched Dick Clark countdown on the big screen and rang in the new year with a kiss!!

New Years Eve with the Kiddos!

This year we wanted to be able to have an adults outing to ring in the new year but also wanted to spend some time with the kids. So we decided to get our friends together with all the kids and go bowling during the day.....we had pizza, chips & drinks & bowled for a couple of hours! The kids had a great time & we def. wore them out for Nana & Papa later that night!!

Time for Catch Up!!!

Ok so this is really bad....I havent been blogging in sooo long!! Once Christmas was over things got a little crazy at the Brown household.... I started school at Ridge Career Center for Nails, Rylee had FCAT testing at school and then of course the usual- both kids birthdays, t-ball season & end of the year dance recital & school functions.....so maybe I will start with January and do a quick blog & picture for each month to catch up....then hopefully I will have some free time during the summer to keep this going....we shall see....no promises but I will try!!
