What's going on....

So much has been going on and we have even more coming up! Here are a few things that have kept/will keep the Bettencourts busy for the next few weeks.

• My baby boy turns 3 on Sunday so his birthday will be celebrated with 24 of his closest friends and family members on Saturday....24 kids that is, plus many, many adults!


• I went out on a girls night on Saturday with my "Stonelake Ladies" and we had so. much. fun. Riding around in limo, drinking margaritas and dancing all night is still fun! just not so much the next day!


• Ramsey is still taking gymnastics, has one more game to cheer at and has already started spring soccer. That girl is so tired but she loves all of it.....at some point she is going to have to narrow it down but for now she does it all with a smile.


• Dustin isn't traveling this week at all.....at least no over-nights, for the first time in 7 weeks! We don't know what to do with him here so much!


• I'm "trying" to eat better and get back on the exercise train. That damn train is so easy to jump off of! Hoping to be bathing suit ready by June. Not that I will ever rock a bikini again (thanks to the glorious stretch marks) but I would like to at least not shy away from the pool this summer.


• I just bought 2 throw pillows for the media room for $6 each! That made my day!


• Kenny Chesney concert is in April and the rumor is Buffett is coming in May! WooHoo! I can smell the suntan lotion, beer and limes already!

Lots going on but we love it that way!

This made me smile!

Christmas 2010

A very typical picture of Bryson but I think Ramsey's bow should be a little bigger!

Days like today.......

the grass is always greener on the other side, but after a day like today I wish I worked. (I'm pretty sure my wallet and my husband wish for the same thing)

My FaceBook status today is: I've said "NO" at least 12,374 times today.

I swear this is true.

"NO, you can't have another gumball."
"NO, you can't have oreos for breakfast."
"NO, you can't wipe YOUR snot on MY shirt."
"NO, NO, NO, NO"

I LOVE my kids, to the moon and back, but sometimes it is so tiring to be the YES Mom and the NO Mom all the time. I think I need a vacation.....or at least a pedicure!

Dustin needs to hurry home.......

I think our little boy needs a strong male influence in his life! He will seriously hate me for this later in life but it was just too cute not to share! I love this kid and his belly!

In his defense, Ramsey dressed him.....he was just going with the flow!

Snow Day

No school today but yet I was up at 6:00, thanks to the FISD phone call saying that school was cancelled, so now what?

I guess I'll sip on my coffee, fold some laundry, work-out a little, clean the house and then figure out something to do with the stir-crazy kids!

Thank goodness my mom is here and can help entertain them!! And, I think her flight is going to be cancelled so we get her for at least another night! WooHoo!!!!!!!

Things I should NOT do on a Saturday night....

1.) Look through old photos on my computer.

Because, I come across something like this:

and I get baby fever.

Omg, he was such a cute, chubby, kissable baby!

2. Put my pj's on at 7:45, because I am dying to go to bed now and it's only 8:21.

That's all I can think of right now, too tired to be creative.

Church Shopping.......

Dustin and I are officially church shopping. We LOVE our current church, Christ Church Plano, but have come to the sad realization that we use the whole "it's too far excuse" WAY TOO MUCH! But besides that, we also want our kids going to church with some of the same kids they go to school with......just an added accountability for later in life!

We have visited 2 churches so far and we liked both of them but left both of them feeling like something was missing. I know the church is out there, we just have to find it! We will continue to pray about it and look forward to finding our new church home!
