AbsolF*#kin'lutely......

Cassie and I went to see Sex and the City 2.....we loved it.

We just love hanging out

AND

To be able to hang out on a week day with just the two of us, well that just doesn't happen very often.

So even if the movie sucked, we wouldn't have cared.

The last movie we saw just the two of us was Sex in the City 1.

We were both pregnant then.

I was sick as a dog and suppose to be on bed rest and sadly lost my baby about a month after.

Cassie didn't know she had a baby Madee in her belly.

Cassie giving birth cured my sadness of losing my baby beyond words.

This time, Cassie might have given birth during the movie.

She didn't, thank goodness!

She didn't have the happiest birth with Madee

AND

I am sure me delivering her 2nd born at the Movie Theater, doesn't rank high on her dream birthing list!

Here is to you sister and your baby ???

The Smitty's are AbsolF*#kin'lutely happy for you and Steve!

We were trying to get our faces....but we got her belly, perfect picture!

These pictures were taken at midnight.

The car was dark and these are not the best pictres of two VERY tired Mamas.

BUT

The best memories were made.

Love -

Auntie Jasmin

Get to the Pointe

We took a much needed staycation at the Pointe Hilton.  Mr. Smitty needed to get away and we were happy to go with him.  We had so much fun, nothing new.....we always have fun together.

The first night we headed out to a yummy dinner....first we had to take everything in, it was amazing!

After dinner we took a walk around the resort. 

We found the spa and the gym (note to self don't walk into a gym at a fancy resort and NOT work out if you don't want mean looks from people)!

Calista and I needed to walk around the edge of a fountain, it was calling our names.

We looked at their water park......it was closed so we made our plan of attack for Saturday.

We decided to go swimming in one of the other pools since it was still open.....I mean staycation isn't a staycation unless you swim all night and all day.

Before we left for the pool, James and I decided to order mixed drinks and they were oh so good!

Grey Goose...you dirty yummy little bird!

When we got to the pool, the water was FREEZING!  I do not do cold water, unless I am drinking it, however, this happened:

Look at those faces, who could say no to those faces?

It was cold and I made James and Cali carry me around the pool so I could snuggle into them and try to stay warm....I am a baby and I am okay with that,

The next day was time for the Lazy River.....and all the other water park treasures

We played HORSE, I won.

I am bragging...I am not very sporty, this was a big win for me!

We went to Aunt Chilada's for dinner.

That place is amazing, LOVED it!

When we got back to the resort we decided to go on a journey.

We found all kinds of places we probably weren't suppose to find, but we didn't care.

We found a reception area on one of the third floor balcony's.

I found the elevator so we made our way up,  we felt like we were ninja's sneaking around.

When we got to the top, it was amazing...we could see all the lights of downtown.

So amazing in fact, I pretended we were at our wedding reception since we never had one.

I was wearing a purple wedding dress, don't judge.

A wedding reception isn't complete without a dance with my groom....

AND of course a dance with my Maid of Honor

We then found the biggest fountain on the grounds....I had to get in.

The water was cold AND it was slimy...but worth it.

While I did that Calista did this.....

Then she decided to do this...

We found a nice little cozy bench and snuggled a bit....

Calista of course danced and did super cute Cali things....I just can't get enough of that one.

A fountain wouldn't be complete without a "fountain fight"

My Blue-Eyed Girl had some amazing one-liners....

We were at one of the smaller pools by ourselves, just the two of us AND

two guys walked in.

About five minutes later Calista goes, "Hey Mama, check out combs over there."

When I looked, one of the guys was combing his hair IN the pool with a giant neon green comb.

I of course started laughing and Cali goes, "I think they are in the wrong pool, the Jersey Shore is that way."

Oh MY she is funny!  It only got funnier from there!

Oh Staycation we didn't want you to end.

We did miss our furry girls, they were getting spoiled at Nana's.

All is well at the Smitty Casa......good times and good memories were made this weekend.

Love -

The Bride in Purple

Thank you for Thursday......

You are in a better place now, dear Mama Trudy.
I am sure as you are watching me type this, you are hanging out with your brother Terry and your Dad...please tell them we said hi!
I want to thank you for so many things, things I never knew.....

Thank you for spending Thursday with me and letting me hold your hand the whole day.
Every squeeze of my hand during the moments you were awake and the moments you were napping meant the world.
Thank you for keeping us laughing with your antics right up until the time you met Him. 
My goodness, when you started grunting and we all thought something was the matter and you simply said..."Nothing, I am trying to figure out which foot to kick his (Rusty's) a** with." I almost peed  my pants from laughter.
Then when asked what you wanted for Mother's Day....you said three magical words........Jimmy Choo Boots ...my heart skipped a beat, I knew we were kindred spirits! 

When you asked for a cigarettte, I didn't know what to do at first because James warned me that nobody could smoke in your house, in fear it may blow up with all of the oxygen. 
You said, "Go get Rusty and Jimmy, they will fix it."
Well...they did and when they tried to convince you there were NO more cigarettes, you just didn't believe them so they gave in and gave you one.
When you knew it wasn't YOUR cigarette, again with the laughter.
Nobody could find YOUR pack of smoke sticks in your purse but when you asked to do it yourself....under 10 seconds flat you found two packs.
After your second smoke break when it was just you and me sitting on the couch together you said, "Are Jimmy and Cali outside, good then it will just be you and me that blow up in this house together!" 

I now know that your baby boy Jimmy is JUST like you.
For instance, you both love scratchies....and both will ask for them shamelessly.
You both have hearts of gold and would do anything for anybody.
You both can not sit still for more than 5 minutes at a time.
You both love animals and treat them as humans.
The list could go on and on....but I am sure you already know.

James has shared all kinds of stories with Cali and me, we love listening to them. 
One thing is clear, even if you did have a crazy life, it was one filled with love for your kids.

Your family seems lost without you, the Matriarch of the Smith Family.
They will be okay, because you raised them to be strong....and with you looking over them they will keep their heads held high.

We love you and will see you on the other side, Mama Trudy!  Until then I will do my best to take care of Jamesie.....

Hugs and Kisses -

P.S. I also wanted to say a BIG Thank You for raising my soul mate.....you did a fabulous job!  Oh, and if you see a REALLY fancy angel up there, her name is Jeanine....please tell her I now have 4 Coach bags....she would be so proud of your son and his taste for picking out marvelous bags!  You can talk Jimmy Choo with her....she will understand.
