Almost Christmas!!

SO I have really slacked off lately on my blogging. With the holidays and everything going on it has been a little hectic. The last month and a half has flown by!

The first week in December I became certified to teach Jazzercise and I am very excited to do that! Jazzercise has really helped me keep the weight off and stay healthy, so if anyone is looking for a exercise program that works come check it out. And come to my classes ;)

Paris Baby has been BUSY!!! All our wonderful mommies are having these beautiful babies! Jennifer & Justin Bounds had their baby, Landry, a couple days before Thanksgiving. She is so beautiful! (and has really given Tab baby fever) After the first of the year Paris Baby will be expanding, AGAIN! We love love love our location now but if you have been to the store lately you know that we are busting out at the seams. So we are making the move down town early 2010, more details to follow when we know more.

What else....OH my sister came home from England last week and I am sooooo happy to have her home. I missed her so much!

We (ryan) did finish the bathroom remodel(minus a few small details) and I just love the new bathroom.

Just finished up the Christmas shopping with Tab in Allen last week and we had Paris Baby Christmas party (aka me and tab over indulging at PF Changs) and it was great!

I hope everyone is having a great & blessed Christmas season. Have a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait to see everyone in 2010!

P.S. This is a picture of Austen putting the moves on Reese at Candace's 28th bday dinner at Shogun. Reese's daddy, Justin, didn't care too much for the kissing but it was the sweetest thing EVER!

The Pink Ribbons Project

The Pink Ribbons Project is a benefit using dance as a medium to promote breast cancer awareness. Most of you reading this know I am currently training to become a jazzercise instructor. Jazzercise has teamed up with The Pink Ribbons Project to raise money and help promote breast cancer awareness. Jazzercisers from Texas will be performing at half time of the Mavericks game on February 28th. The Pink Ribbons Project was founded by 2 sisters, one of which was diagnosed with breast cancer 15 years ago. It is a wonderful cause. If you would like to donate please email me melissasgordon@hotmail.com I am collecting donations up thru the performance date.

Now, since i can't post without a picture here is Aus decked out as a big time sheriff...hope everyone has a great week!

P.S. i enjoyed girl time with tab and trish after work today :)

A special thank you

I just realized it has been a little bit since I last blogged, and I am sorry I will do better...we have just been crazy busy at Paris Baby.

First off, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to the two men that helped me with my smoking car at Paris Cardiology Center!! Aus & I were waiting for my GMA to get through with her doctors appt and all of the sudden I smelt something really bad and right after smoke started coming out of the hood. I grabbed Aus fast because the first thing that came to mind was my car was catching on fire (of course i think the worst) I ran inside of Paris Cardiology Center (teary eyed and frantic) and 2 men came outside and helped me. I am so sad that I didn't get there names. They were both very kind and patient with me and I am so very thankful! I have to add, my car is finally paid off in 2 more pymts and last week we had to replace a motor in one of the doors for the window to roll up and now my smoking engine....it is true that things fall apart once paid off (or close to paid off) Thank you again to those 2 ment that helped me, if you happen to know them please pass on my gratitude and I would love to know their names.

Sooo, it was a pretty fun morning with Aus until the smoking car...here is some of the pics. He had to have the curling iron and singing bear pirate today :)

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Love it!

My great friend, Angela, started making jewelry several months back and she is amazing! I am telling you I have NEVER been disappointed. She just made me this necklace and a bracelet to match and it is my favorite so far. She does custom orders so check out her website www.rockware.biz


Also, I have a dilema...I have no idea what Austen, Ryan and I are going to be for Halloween??? AND...we are going to a Halloween/Birthday party at the Mayer's on Saturday so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hope everyone has a great week!

October JAZZERCISE

If you want to join Jazzercise October is the month to do it. Kristina, the center owner, through the year, has referral gifts for existing Jazzercisers and incentive gifts for newbies to Jazzercise. In the month of October if I refer someone to sign up for Jazzercise I get an IPod speaker docking station. Which I need sooo bad. So if you have been thinking of joining or know someone who has been put me down as a referral and I will owe you big! I even have a coupon at the store for $20 off your joining fee.

Onto important things...IT'S FRIDAY!! YAY! Got a pedicure planned for this morning w/Tab because my feet look horrid. Then going to the store for a bit then going to do a little shopping with Aus. We were looking at the pottery barn catalog last night and he kept getting stuck on the pages with airplanes hanging from the room ceilings. So we are going to try and find him an airplane that he can have.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Oh and I have several birthday's next week (we are celebrating tab's, jonathan, & mayer's on Saturday) so Happy Birthday Justin Mayer, Tabitha Blackburn,Ashley Ballard, & Jonathan Martin (these bdays are October 5,6,7& 8, woooaah busy birthday week)

And now my little basket baby :) who says a laundry basket can't be fun

Aus loves a good sucker!

Austen went to the Mayer wedding a couple weeks ago and the pictures were just posted today, which are BEAUTIFUL by the way...good job Tony Corso!

He tried to lure in the women by sharing his sucker ;) Hope everyone is having a great week! Come see me at Paris Baby!

TGIF

YAY its Friday! What is it about the weekend that makes me so happy ;)

It's been a while since my last post and it has been a busy busy month! Candace and Justin finally tied the knot last weekend and I am so excited about that. The wedding was beautiful, not to mention we had a blast!

Got any plans for the weekend?? If not, come and see us Saturday...we are having our ROCK SALE! Draw a rock at checkout and see what you save! We had such a great response from the last rock sale we had that we decided to give it another go and will be having these sales at different times throughout the year.

hope everyone has a great and relaxing weekend, this is the little guy that I woke up to this morning (at 8:30....heeheee we slept in ;) )
