Pizza Night

Saturday was an eventful day... Amy and I planned to spend the day in Tulsa, wedding dress shopping. We left at 8:00 that morning with it pouring in sleet. Before we got to Siloam Springs we were hitting slick spots on the road and passed a wreck on a bridge. We sat in wal-mart parking lot in Siloam Springs while deciding what to do. We then turned around and headed back home (which I have to add was a good idea because Tulsa was hit hard with snow). An hour after we got home the sun was shining and there was nothing coming down, so we then headed for Fort Smith. She did find a few options in Fort Smith and is now feeling the pressure to make a purchase. She only has 7 months to go.

That night it was cold and snowing again so we decided to stay at my house and make our own pizza's. I made the dough and then we split it and topped our pizza's.

Johnny wanted to "prepare" his dough the real way. Amy was ready to catch it before it hit the floor.

Happy 50th Birthday!

March 21st was my mom's 50th birthday. Gran gran, Leslie and I took her to Kansas City for a few days on a girls trip. We stayed at the plaza and spent the majority of the time shopping and eating. We celebrated her birthday at the Melting Pot, and it was delicious. We also got makeovers at Bare Escentuals which was pretty entertaining. Sunday night we managed to go see a terrible movie "Duplicity". If you haven't seen it, don't waste your time. Monday we went to Union Station along with a few other places off the plaza. By Monday night we were tired and ready to relax. We had cheesecake for dinner and stayed in the hotel and played Farkle. It is a dice game, kind of like yahtzee but not really. It was a fun weekend, but we were all ready to get home.

Off to the Races!

We spent the weekend in Hot Springs with several friends. Saturday morning we woke and got ready to spend the day at the horse races. We try to make it down there once a year during racing season. The guys have fun trying to sound smart and read statistics and determine the best horse. Us girls enjoy looking at the horses and picking the prettiest one with the most appealing name. It never fails, the girls always come out ahead of the guys. There were 24 of us who sat together and then went to dinner afterwards. We had a great time. It was fun spending time with a variety of people, all with different personalities and creating friendships with those we don't know as well.

Amy rode with Johnny and I to Hot Springs. She was not feeling well when we left Fayetteville. It got progressively worse as the weekend went on. We decided that she most likely had the stomach virus. She was a trooper and attempted to have fun through the weekend. No one else has gotten sick yet!
