The last year of my twenties begins...

It's official - the last year of my twenties has started...I'm 29 years old.  It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, but, ask me how I feel about turning the big 3-0 next year - haha!

I had a wonderful birthday.  There is just something about birthdays that make you feel so special.  Checking the mail starting the week before, getting so excited each and every time a card came.  I love reading the sweet cards that I know the people that I love take time to choose just for me.  My hubby and sweet friends made my day even more special by surprising me with dinner at Cadillac Bar.  We love that place, it's where we had our rehearsal dinner!  Thank you so much Jill, Kelly & Sarah!  I love you!

Bandit even got a present - all the way from is homeland - Alabama :)

The girls got me these beautiful hydrangeas.  I just love them!

My new shirt and necklace that my Aunt Cinny and  Grandparents sent - thank you, I love them!

My flower cake the Valarie from New Orleans sent me - isn't it just the cutest thing you have ever seen!

Cards make me so very happy.  Hubby and I will, without a doubt, disagree on what is a reasonable amount of time to display them ;)

My Mother in Law bought me these adorable pumpkins - I LOVE them!  I needed some cute fall decor and these are just the thing!

P.S. I really do feel older this year.  I don't know why - but I am NOT a fan :)

Another Weekend Comes to an end...

I wish weekends lasted longer.  Just one more day or two would be amazing, wouldn't it?

We had a nice, fairly quiet weekend.  Friday night we celebrated Greg's birthday at Hubble & Hudson in The Woodlands.  It was our first time there - and it was really good!  Afterwards we headed to Crush and had a great time catching up with friends.

The next best part of our weekend....FOOTBALL!  Our teams won!  My Aggies won their second game, and our Texans, I mean, wow.  I actually felt badly for Peyton Manning at one point during the game (I just love him - I think he is such a great person).  It was a very successful football weekend.

We cooked the little bitty shrimps that we got when we were in Port O Connor a few weeks ago.  Can you believe that the shrimpers give these away?  They don't sell them because they are so small.  Yes please!  We love to boil these little guys.  They were the perfect football finger food!

Bandit had a busy weekend too.  I did a few loads of laundry today, and each time I went into the laundry room, he followed me in a refused to come out.  You see, he has about a million toys.  We can't keep them all out and about the house, because we would always be tripping over them, and because hubby is OCD about clutter.  So, he usually has about a dozen around the house, and a basket containing the mother load in the laundry room, on the top shelf.  When he wants a toy that is in the basket, he will sit in front of the laundry room door and stare at it until we let him choose his toy.  It is a long process...he must find the perfect toy.

Here he is pouting after the fourth time I ushered him out of the laundry room toyless.

But...how can you resist this face???

You see, he has to pull many of them out to find the perfect one :)

haha!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend too!  Here's to a great week!

Jeff's Birthday

Today is my husband's birthday! He doesn't like a lot of fuss, but I am going to do everything I can to make it special. We are having dinner with his parents tonight, and then really celebrating on Saturday with our friends at the Eli Young Band Concert!

I just want to make sure he feels very special and celebrated : )
