Daddy's birthday dinner

Friday night my sisters and I had a birthday dinner for my daddy in honor of his 60th birthday. There was nothing extravagant, as he is not the extravagant type.  Me and the hubs, along with our children, my older sis and her kids, my younger sis and her kids, Ms. Colleen (daddy's "friend" for many years) and her nieces sat down and ate dinner while daddy enjoyed some of his grandchildren.  TJ and Leila  (of course) had to get out in the middle of the floor to do some dancing and the other children followed along with them.  I thought we would be kicked out of the restaurant with all the noise the children were making, but since our party were the only people left in the restaurant, everything was fine. 

Me and the birthday guy (my daddy)

Butter Pecan cake made by Carla

My sister, Carla, seriously needs to start her own cake business! That butter pecan cake was out of this world!!! I also stayed away from sweets for the majority of the week, so I was good and only ate one slice of cake. The cake was one gift that he enjoyed, but I bet he will enjoy the other gifts (money-lol) for days to come! 

Singing "Happy birthday"

Game win!

My lil man had a game (again) versus Sports Grafix at the Doleac Complex last tonight...and they won! The kids were very excited and now their record is 3-4. A couple of those games they could have won, but this is first year coach-pitch (no tee-ball) and a learning process for them all. Leila ran Carla ragged, escaping  here and there while I was helping out in the dugout.
The game ended with TJ giving the other team the last out by chasing the little boy down and beating him to first base. He was excited...the whole team was excited! The coach even gave TJ the game ball!

Day 2- Brazilian Butt Lift...NOT!!!

I didn't do it today! Although it was seriously a good workout, I was very slow moving about today. My husband convinced me to wait until after my PT test this weekend and start Brazilian Butt Lift then. I don't want to be too sore for the PT test and fail! I haven't been to the gym this week, but I have been going faithfully until recently. Maybe if I decide not to go the rest of the week and save my energy (and running efforts) for the test I will do better than the minimal. We shall see!!

Day 1 Brazilian Butt Lift

Well...day one of Brazilian Butt Lift is complete and boy did it sting! I got a PT test coming up Saturday (my dad's 60th birthday) so I can't do too much more than the usual. I feel like I will pass, I've been eating okay and exercising three days a week. Back to the BBL...my butt is tightening up as I write! I won't post my before picture until I know I am getting some results. BBL combined with a 900-1100 calorie diet and exercise 3 times a week, I can reach my goal of losing 25 pounds to transfer to the Air Force (if I decide to).
Wish me luck!
P.S. I will post a pic of my kids instead!

Easter Sunday 2012

A week late, but Easter Sunday was great! The Allen family color for this Easter was lavender, so my mom-in-law purchased TJ and Leila's Easter outfits for their birthday. It was great not having to be concerned with anyone else's clothes but my own (for a change). We had a fun-filled day at my mother's house: Easter dinner and egg hunt.

Opening Day-Baseball

Yesterday was Opening Day for Hattiesburg Dixie Youth Baseball as well as HubFest. Two major events going on in the city of Hattiesburg, but one event I could not miss was TJ's first coach-pitch game. Dressed in black and gray, he was an awesome sight to see! Leila kept me running all day while TJ ran on the field..it was a long day!
