Bringing the Princess to Her Castle for the 1st Time!

Happy 10th Anniversary!! What a sweet wedding pic!! Enjoy your time together tomorrow night!! :goodvibes
 

Thank you all! I'm a little nervous leaving Shelby behind. She has only spent the night away from me maybe 3 times since she's been born. I know she will be in the best hands, but I still hate leaving her.
 
Wow! What a wonderful night we had last night! It started off Ben had to work late, which I was NOT happy about. Once he got home & got ready we were on our way! We dropped off Brady at my MIL's house until my BIL got off of work, then off to drop off Shelby at my other BIL's house & there were no tears from me! I was so proud! After, drop off Koby at my OTHER BIL's house & then the night was ours! We went eat at Olive Garden. It was so strange just eating the 2 of us, sitting at a table for 2! After way too much food, we walked to Academy & bought the boys each a Saints shirt. It's our anniversary & the kids are getting presents! How you like that? But I got a new Saints shirt too, so it was ok lol. Then we went off to Target, then Wal Mart, which resulted in a purchase for Shelby. We had already bought for the boys, we had to get for her too! We had decided to see a movie, but the only thing we saw playing that would be worth it was Chipmunks 2 the Squeakel & we know the boys would get mad if we saw that without them, so we decided against it. Here it is 9 pm & we had no idea what to even do! I remembered my uncle owns a bar in town & we had never been there. Very seldom do we ever have all 3 kids gone for the night! So we decided to stop by & surprise everyone. My cousin was the bartender & boy was she surprised! She ran from behind the bar to hug us & asked us what we were doing there & we told her that it was our anniversary. Her reply was "Drinks are on me!" Well, hell, that sounds like a good plan to me. Ben only had 1 beer since he was driving, but said I could drink all I wanted. My cousin made me her famous drink. I have no idea what it's called, but it's a bunch of different types of alcohol mixed together. It tasted like Hawaiian Punch & it was GOOD. So after a few drinks there, she asked us to stay until closing because she had a box of clothes for Shelby. HUGE box! Sizes ranging from 18 months to 4T. Let's just say Shelby is set on clothes for a long time, considering she's only in 3-6 month clothes! We got home just after 3 am & we went straight to bed. Around noon today we started going round up the kids & bringing them home. We had such a great night out. Everyone said that the kids behaved like they were supposed to, so I was a very happy mommy! Shelby's 4th tooth even came out while she was with my BIL! Here is our new family pic!

Thank you all for the Happy Anniversary comments. It has been a wild 10 years & we are looking forward to many many more to come! Oh & Ben's anniversary present? A REAL NFL Saints jersey!
 
Oh Becky, it was so nice! Of course main topic of all the conversations were the kids of course & your bows! Ben's anxious to see them!

Of course!! It's the same way when Brent and I go out (which is rare)!!! You talked about my bows?! You are too sweet!! I feel so important!! :lmao:

Yeah it's very rare we get a night without any of the kids. I always get offers for people to keep Shelby, but I can't bear to let her go! Now the boys, they will watch them alone. Put the 2 of them together & they are ready to kill each other!

Of course I talked about your bows! While we were shopping, I kept saying how cute that outfit will be with the bows I ordered! Oh! Quick question, do you charge extra for custom bows?

Not necessarily--it just depends on what you're wanting. Add a layer it's another $1. Add a bottlecap it's another $2. Any print ribbon is going to cost the same as a solid color. Does that answer your question? :goodvibes

Yeah, sort of. Cause I know I will want a Saints bow & a LSU one.
 
Hi! Just popping over from my TR :)
Happy Anniversary. Me and DH just celebrated our 10th in September. Can't believe how fast it goes by, and even faster since the kids came.
Here's to the next 10 years.

Great date night, even if conversations tend to revolve around the kiddos--we do the same thing on the rare occasion we get one. :) At least for me, it is hard to turn that part off.

I need to figure out what bows I am getting from Becky too! :goodvibes
 
Thank you all so much for the comments! It was a great anniversary! We have been busy getting ready for the Black & Gold Super Bowl!!!!!! We did our taxes last night & are getting back much more than we thought, so as soon as my deposit goes through, the trip will be booked & paid off!!!! YAY!!!!!! I can not wait!!!! So Becky, get ready, you will have tons of bows to make for me!

And speaking of bows....they came in today! I love them!!! Here are a few pics
