Today was our niece's 1st birthday party!

She really turns 1 on August 30th!

 "Pink and Green."

Super cute!

  Sophia, my baby girl

 The kids found a turtle!

Playing in the pool!

 Waiting patiently for the cake!

 Ooo! Pretty Sparklers!

 The Raynal Family! 

 Just chillaxin!

Enjoying her juice!

How we roll in Bama!

One of my best friends from New York, Courtney, came down to visit. She is basically a sassy southern belle trapped in Yankee town. LOL. 

 And boy, what a weekend it was!! 

Definitely a lot of memories were made! 

SWEET HOME ALABAMA!

First order of business, after she arrived, we took her out to lunch. BBQ. Southern style. 

 Chuckwagon BBQ in Madison!

 Not "OPERATING" but "OPERAT'N 

First slice of Pecan Pie!

She said, " IT WAS HEAVEN ON A PLASTIC PLATE!" 

After lunch we took her to see Downtown Huntsville. Not the greatest city in the country, but it is small and quaint with a lot of Alabama history buried underneath. 

Big Springs Park!

A beautiful park located in downtown Huntsville.

The Square!

 We window shopped at this really neat store called "Harrison Brothers" A lot of antiques and Halloween decor! LOL.

 While walking through the town, Sophia found a ladybug!!

Later that night, after a NAP of course, Courtney, Lindsey and I all went out to Bridge Street in Huntsville. We did some shopping, goofed around and touched up our makeup in Sephora before we hit the bars! 

We stopped in Anthropologie. I absolutely love that store. It's like a "Pinterest" store! Lot of unique clothes and household items. 

All of us, rocking aprons. Can we say, Desperate Housewives? 

 Classy Coco!

 Taking Tina!

 Lovely Lindsey!

Then we were off to Knuckleheads, a local bar in Madison. I was a little drunk. I can't help it. 

I love Margaritas!

Operation Diet: FAIL

The next day, it was Evan's turn to entertain. 

He took Courtney shooting! I stayed home with Sophia.

 Then we all went out later on and had a few drinks. 

Sophia was in a good hands.

A vacation in the south wouldn't be complete without some Moonshine! 

 According to Courtney, "It feels like the devil is inside me!!" 

I am FORBIDDEN from Moonshine. Anyone from Luis's bachelor party knows why! HAHA!

 Me and the hubby!! I love this picture.

And then all of this fun had to come to an end.

We stopped at Waffle House for breakfast. After Moonshine, it is just logical to have some Waffle House. The southern experience was complete!

We drove up with Courtney to Nashville to see her off. It was so sad! But, she will be back! 

 Miss Sophia, on our way to Nashville.

After the airport we had some lunch and hung out by the Parthenon in Nashville and let Sophia feed the ducks. A perfect ending! Then it was back to work and school on Monday! Wahhh!

Weight Loss!

If you have not been following my other blog about my weight loss journey, here's  the jist. After I had Sophia, I found myself slowly letting myself go. I just ate and ate...especially out of boredom. And the pounds were packing. I decided that I needed a change when I started getting gallbladder attacks again AFTER I had surgery to take it out. So I did. I lost overall 34 pounds. 24 of those pounds have been because of the Bouari Diet in just 45 days! I feel great!! All my clothes are big on me. I had to donate alot of them. I need to buy a whole new wardrobe! I would love to be 125, even though my weight loss has significantly slowed down since I have been off of the diet for 3 days-- I am not gonna stop. I am down to 142. 18 more pounds. I think I can do it!!!


New and Improved, Tina Webber.

Sister Time!

My sister and her boyfriend Corey, aka, my future in BIL, came up to visit. I was so happy to spend time with my sister. Sometimes, you just need that. Sophia was really happy too. She cannot get enough of Corey. We spent the weekend eating, watching Tangled, playing with Sophia and we drove up to Tennessee to visit the Jack Daniel's Distillery since it is free and it was something to do. 

Sophia was acting up right in the beginning and I had to sit in the car with Sophia while Evan, Jill and Corey went on the tour. This was Evan and I's 2nd time there, and the first time we had to leave early because of Sophia throwing a tantrum. So we figured to try it again, considering we had Aunt Jill and Uncle Corey with us...but nope. She just does not like it there!! 

 Sophia with Daddy and Uncle Corey! 

Finally, a pic of us! 

<3

Sophia got mad cause we told her to look at the camera. LOL.

It sucks that they had to go back to GA, back to work. Blech. Till we see each other again. Now we just need my mom, dad and brother to come down. :)

4.0!

I am really proud of my husband, Evan. 

He made a 4.0 GPA in his first semester at college. 

Not only that, but I am real happy that he is going back to school to better himself and us as a family. He really is determined, and I can't help but respect that. He is my rock! 

So I made him a cake for his job well done! 

Golden cake with chocolate frosting and Reeses Pieces on top! 

And Miss Sophia....

Almost 20 months already!!
