Busy Week!

So, where to start? This has been an extremely busy week (and weekend)!!! I think the only time Rob and I spent at home was when we were (literally) asleep and taking showers!!! LOL...

Anyways... last Saturday, we had Cindy's baby shower at Marcia--her sister's house! I got to meet her side of the family. I've already known Marcia since she works with us too (well, sort of, she's an Auditor--CPA, so we develop the applications they use)! I had a really great time, as we played games like your typical baby shower stuff--TV children trivia like the Brady Bunch kids... and of course it wouldn't be complete without the guessing game (i.e. When will baby "Jenna" actually be born? What is her length-size and weight? etc...) I hope I guessed right. The winner gets a prize, supposedly... so, we'll just have to wait 2 more months :-)

The FUN part -- presents!!!

After this shot, my camera's batteries died :-(

Our Easter Sunday was spent with my family. After going to mass, we all went to have Easter lunch at Olive Garden! I was surprised my dad actually liked it... he's really picky with dining out... Actually, he ONLY eats at Asian restaurants, so perhaps when he takes my mom out on a date, they'll opt for something besides Chinese or Thai. LOL... I made my siblings Easter baskets like I do every year.... Yeah, I know we're all adults now, but you're NEVER too old for Easter baskets! And after all the sugar high, we were all dead tired... I was knocked out on my parents' couch, while my brothers and Rob watched The Masters, which had "Tiger" written all over it if not for the silly mistakes he made that day :-( Oh well... maybe next year! That night, we went to my in-laws' house. Mom made Rob and I our own Easter baskets... She never fails (every year) since I've started dating Rob! So, Easter was a really great day for us!!! Should've taken some pics, though *sigh*

Monday night was Rob's game... their First loss in like 3 seasons!!! I couldn't believe they've even kept up their winning streak this long! The boys were really upset and didn't feel like celebrating, so they skipped their usual BW3s hang-out... But then they won last night, so that was a good way to end the first half of the season! The second half starts in about 2 weeks... Here's another chance for an undefeated season guys, what d'ya say, Mainline Catfish?!?

Tuesday was another baby shower for Cindy and Justin (guys included this time)... We had some yummy food catered by Sonnys and very yummy Strawberry cake! It was really neat that I was able to help decorate, since the last shower we had at work was our wedding shower (exactly a year ago)!!! Everybody kept telling me to have a baby already so we could do that more often... LOL! Tough luck... I will start my countdown though... Ummm let's see... 4 years to go??? haha... Oh and my boss made me the official photographer... Dang-it! How come I always get to take pictures???... LOL!!! J/K... it was fun though... I took like 100 shots or something... here are some...

Not bad, huh?... doesn't even look like we're STILL at work!

Cute Cake... check out the booties!!!

We had 2 yummy cakes!!!

Cindy and Justin

They got a TON of presents... almost took an hour to open them! Of course, there's the occasional "oohs" "aahs" and "awwws".. LOL

The girls at the office and I made this quilt... Cindy's nursery room is lady-bug themed, so we went with the red outline... I hand-stitched the middle square on the 2nd row, with my initials "KW" :-)

Tuesday night, we had dinner with mom, dad and Spencer to celebrate dad's birthday... (which was actually Wednesday, but we all had other plans)... We went to the ever-so-romantic Bone Fish Grill! I love that place! They've got some awesome sauces and mouth-watering seafood! And by the way, dad DID get his boat!!! Yay!!! It's really cool... you can fit 10 people in it and can go 70 nautical-MPH! He's taking Rob and I fishing this Saturday down at the Gulf, so we're really excited, but first we have to get our fishing licenses Saturday morning! Alright... bass, grouper, flounder... bring it on!!! Err... no sharks for me, though, ok?!?

Wednesday night, Rob had their last game (as I've written previously)... and they, of course, ended the first half celebrating at BW3s. I, on the other hand, took my mom at their Pace Setter awards dinner for her work. This is her 7th time in a row, so I'm really proud of my mom because she's always been there at the top year after year! This year, the event was held at Albert's Provence (obviously a French restaurant). They always have different venues every couple of years. The food was great as usual... it kinda reminded me of the good ole' days. See, I was the president of Les Amis (French Club) in high school for 2 years and we used to have our meetings catered by Albert's Provence or Chez Pierre (where we had my bridesmaids luncheon)... it's so nostalgic!

She kept telling everyone I'm her sister! LOL... Yeah, right!

Well, right now, I'm making dinner... (waiting for my baked chicken parmesan to cook), before heading to the gym. Kevin's coming over for dinner tonight and we might head to my in-laws' for dessert afterwards--left over cake from dad's birthday--a very sinful Snickers Torte with chocolate and vanilla ice cream! Hey, that's why you eat it AFTER you work out... they sort of cancel each other out! LOL...

The weekend plans...

* Friday night dinner with my family
* Saturday morning/afternoon fishing with mom and dad
* Saturday night Pacquiao boxing party (hehe!)... this is going to be interesting!
* Sunday morning/afternoon--chores and grocery shopping
* Sunday night - a joint birthday party for Helen and Bentley at Jenny's house!

Until next time... Adieu, adieu, adieu...
