First Annual Crawfish Boil!

We hosted our first annual CRAWFISH BOIL yesterday and it was WONDERFUL!!! The weather cooperated (thank you Jesus!) because it had been freezing and rainy the 5+ days prior to Sunday. We had beautiful weather and even some sunshine! Perfect! Ryan had 120 lbs of crawfish flown in from Louisiana and tons of potatoes, corn, onions, garlic, mushrooms, sausage and brats...YUM. We had a great turnout and I know everyone enjoyed it as much as we did! I'm already looking forward to it next year. Great job, husband! You're a pro!!!!!

+++++++++++

Yes, it's true! A new baby is on the way to the Curry household! We are super excited to have a new addition blessing our family soon. I took a test on St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) and MUCH to my surprise, it showed a +!!! I was home by myself, so I told Ryan I had a surprise for him when he came home. He told me later he thought I had a cupcake for him! Hopefully he was pleasently surprised to find out he had a baby growing inside of me, and not a yummy cupcake to eat! We waited until our first doctor's appointment to tell everyone. On Friday, April 9th, we went to the doctor and FINALLY got to let the cat out of the bag.

Our due date is November 19th...a Thanksgiving baby! We have a million birthdays between both familys January - May, so a fall baby will be a good change =) I have been feeling pretty good surprisingly. After being SO sick with Braidy, I just knew I would be sick this go around too. I did get sick for the first time this morning, but I felt better right after. Whether I'm sick or not, it will be worth every minute when Baby C comes around. Boy? Girl? Don't know, and really don't care. I LOVE boys to death and will be great with all boys. Yes, I'd love a girl too. Either way we'll be more than thrilled!

Happy Birthday John!!!

John turned FIVE years old yesterday! What a big boy he has become! Ryan, Braidy and I brought him Chick-fil-A and ate with him at school. He had his birthday crown on and seemed to be having a great day!!!

We had his birthday party last weekend at Ready, Set, GO! It was such a fun place and the kids had a blast. They jumped on trampolines, swung from a swing, jumped in the foam pit, and did all sorts of fun gymnastic activities. They were all red-faced by the time playtime was over, they were worn out! John got some great new gifts and had lots of sweet friends come celebrate with him!

Happy Birthday Johnny! We love you very much!!!!

Easter: better late than never!

Easter weekend was full and fun. Nena and Pops came to visit us to celebrate Easter and John's 5th Birthday, too! They even got to watch one of John's baseball games, which was definitely a highlight for all parties involved!!! Friday, Nena and Pops took the boys to Chuck-E-Cheeze (or "ChuckCheese" as Braidy lovingly refers to it as!). What would a trip to Lubbock without Chuck-E-Cheeze be? Saturday Pops was conned into helping Ryan with a project in the backyard, so we were in and outside all day. That night was John's Birthday Party!!! He had his party at Ready, Set, GO! and it was such a fun place! The boys got to stay up until 11pm that night to help Pops and Nena dye Easter eggs, and boy, did they have fun!!! Since they did stay up so late, just mommy and daddy went to church that morning, I have a feeling if we would have woken them up for the 8:30 service, it wouldn't have been pretty. When Ryan got home, Nena and Pops went to Mass, so it all worked out. The Easter bunny came to visit after mommy got home from church that afternoon. He was so good to the boys. He hid candy eggs outside and MONEY eggs inside! He left a basket of goodies in the living room and a pile of goodies on the kitchen table. They were spoiled rotten!!! We finished the weekend with a trip to the park to fly kites and a yummy dinner at Ohana! We had a wonderful weekend!! Here are some pictures of our fun!

Rachy's 23rd

This past Sunday, my mom, Braidy and I went to Wichita Falls for the night. Monday we drove to Dallas to surprise Rach for her 23rd birthday! She knew Jess and Crockett were coming, but the rest of us were a surprise. Aside from the driving, it was alot of fun. I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again, Braidy is an awful traveler! ECK!

Monday I got to go meet my sweet new nephew, Noah. H is just precious and I loved every minute I got to spend with him. I can't wait to go back for more baby time!



It seems like aside from that, all we did was EAT while we were there, but I'm pretty good at eating so it worked out nicely! We had a nice dinner at LaDuni on Monday night and a fun lunch at Breadwinners on Rach's actual birthday.



Crockett and Braidy had tons of fun together. They completely wrecked our hotel room by unrolling a whole roll of toilet paper and pulling out every kleenex from the box. Whatever keeps 2 babies happy.

Such a fun few days with my mom and sisters. Love you all, and thanks for a great trip!

Noah Russell Curry

Ryan and I have a new nephew!!! Noah Russell was born on March 25th at 4:20 and weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is beautiful and absolutely perfect! Unfortunately, we could not be there for his birth, but we will get to meet him very soon, and we cannot wait. Congrats to Uncle Todd and Aunt Marci! We cannot wait to see you as mommy and daddy, I know you will be amazing parents. Noah is a lucky little man. He also has 2 cousins ready to "show him the ropes!"...And here are some pictures we've gotten of the precious little man himself! We love you sweet Noah!!!!
