Lets Go Fly a Kite...

Yesterday we spent the day in Las Colinas at their
annual Dragon Boat Races and Asian Celebration,


I have to say that we had a really good time....

especially cheering on my hubby and the rest of the Irving Fire Department team!


But, the most fun was had flying kites!


I had fun telling the girls "look theirs your aunt" or "look theirs your cousin"...LOL! and they fell for it every time and looked at the person...


I mean it was an Asian Festival and they are half Vietnamese...so they fit right in...HA! The best one was "Look your dad is on stage singing"! I know, I know...I am wrong...but it made me laugh and I bet you laughed a little too! (;
Ashleigh and Katelyn on the other hand would just say "MOOOMMM...SSSTTOOOPPP" and laugh about it!


The kites were AMAZING...squids, butterflies, whales, a pirate ship kite...just to name a few!


I know that this will be a yearly tradition from now on for us! We are proud of our Grand Champion Irving Fire Department Team! Way to go guys!


Go ahead and mark your calendars for next year on May 20, 2012, to come out, spend the day, and experience a little Asian culture!


Who knows you may see Ashleigh and Katelyn's aunt, cousin, or biodad too! (:


Blessings,

Best Weekend Ever

My amazing gifts from the weekend! I had the best little Birthday get together and Mothers Day! LOVE MY HUBBY AND FRIENDS! They are the best!




This past weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time!


I had several friends join us at Lakewood Theater on Friday night and we enjoyed a Burlesque show!

It was a blast!

Patty our MC for the night sang Happy Birthday to me like Marilyn Monroe.....I LOVE IT!


Thanks to Jaimie for calling and having two rows, Mel's Row, saved for us!


Nothing like great friends to make a perfect evening!




Our hubbies were all good sports as well and joined us!

For those of you that truly know me, know that I was born in the wrong ERA! I have an old soul and LOVE the pinup girl styles of the 1940's-1950's! If I had the body I would so do a Burlesque performance!!!! Blaze was AMAZING!


Brian's comment was " I LOVE REDHEADS"!





I do plan on attending the Viva Dallas Burlesque again!


It was so much fun!


Next on my bucket list...get skinny so I can take PinUp Girl Pics....Well skinny enough to look HOT!



Blessings,
