You've gotta watch these clips, they made me laugh so hard. Ben found them one day on YouTube and I shared them with my brother and best friend and had to share with you all. :) Enjoy!

Princesses & Pirates....
Last weekend, we were honored to be invited to 2, yes 2, birthday parties. One was for Alexis (3), our friend from College Station and the other was for Charlie (4), our friends from church. We were so happy to be thought of for these FUN and MEMORABLE events and RACHEL WAS READY FOR A PARTY! ;)
We didn't make it out to College Station to see Alexis because Ben had 2 school functions that day, so we would not have made it in time for the b-day fun. From looking at the pics on Christi's blog, they had a blast!! :) Rachel would have loved to dress like a princess too! We are sad that we missed this one, but next yr. we'll have to make the trip out to College Station! :)
Rachel and I did make it to Charlie's b-day, though. It was a perfect day in SA for a party. Angie and Chuck (Charlie's parents and our friends) opened their house to pirates of all ages. :) It was so nice. Chuck even had a bandana and nose ring to top it off. They gave all the kids a pirate hat and eye patch along with many goodies in their goody bags. Rachel was the only girl (who was around Charlie's age), but she had a blast! She wanted to do all the stuff the big boys were doing. It was fun to watch her try to interact with the other kids. For the most part she explored all the toys out on the patio (which were so exciting to use).
Angie posted about this on her blog. You can ck it out to see the pics that she uploaded from the party. I will also upload some pics. (I forgot my camera, so when we got home from the party, I took these pics of her with her pirate hat, eye patch and map!) Thanks for having us over, Thier Family! :) Rachel truly enjoyed her first friend b-day party! :) (She's only gone to family b-day parties. )

Rachel can fit in with anyone! I love that about her! She could have played the part of the princess, but she can also do the PIRATE thing! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Click on the Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, that's the song from the Backyardigans where Rachel first learned about Pirates... we always get this song in our heads and sing it in the car (or wherever we arrrrrrrrrrrr). ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!
Well, I've not been blogging because:
*my camera is not getting better
*I've been using my laptop instead of my pc (we upload our pics to the pc)
*I am lazy to type out a blog
*the list goes on and on....
I have been so blessed by God. He's so good. We've been blessed with love, joy, peace, good health and the list goes on and on. I am amazed at how God has touched my life in BIG ways and makes His presence know in small ways too.
I am totally blessed with my husband, Ben, and daughter, Rachel. Just to have these two in my life, I'm HAPPY. For this Valentine's Day my wonderful and loving husband brought home a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, a sweet card, and a DVD (Becoming Jane). ** He really didn't have to bring all this because he had already given me a beautiful watch (that I really needed). He picked out just the right one (I had been looking for one that is unique and he picked the perfect one).
For Rachel, Ben bought her a Belle Barbie from the Disney Store and Little Mermaid flip-flops. :) It was too cute. We had watched Beauty and the Beasta few weeks ago and Rachel and Daddy danced along with Belle and the Beast. I cried; just thinking of the first time I watched this dance for the first time when I was in high school. I dreamed of the day when I would dance with my love, but now I am watching my love dance with our daughter. It was a truly memorable moment. Ben really wanted to remember this moment too when he thought of bringing home the Belle doll for his baby girl. ;)
Now he bought the flip-flops b/c he asked me what she NEEDED and I told him she needed sandals. Flip-flops (sold a the Disney Store) were the closest to that, so there you go! ;)
Well, I will be posting some pics soon. I hope I will be using my computer tomorrow and then I can upload the pics. :)
