Weekend Fun!

We had such a fun weekend! I love weekends! I wish they lasted more than 2 days. Don't you agree?

Jason had to work the hospital this weekend so he left way early on Saturday morning to see patients. E and I went to her friend's Maddox's birthday party at a park in a nearby town. The weather was really muggy so it was sooo hot, but luckily there were a lot of trees so we stayed in the shade as much as possible. E had a blast. She didn't stop moving for almost 2 hours. She loves being outdoors. I don't know how she wasn't more exhausted than she was after the party because this momma was tired from chasing her everywhere =).

We wore our cute OU dress to the party in honor of the Texas/OU game that day and plus Maddox's dad went to UT so I wanted to give him a hard time. And then....we lost..(whomp whomp). Oh well. We were just investing in future seasons by letting Mack Brown keep his job a little longer =).

Swing time

There were balloons at the party and E had a blast playing with them. She loves balloons so much.

This picture cracks me up. Her hair was so sweaty that I could just pull it out and it would stay that way. 

Later that night, Jason and I went to a wedding of one of our friends (and our awesome babysitter too) at a place in Grapevine. It was such a beautiful wedding and the bride was absolutely beautiful. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed our night out by ourselves.

On Sunday, Jason had to go to work again so we didn't go to church since its a lot harder for me to get there on time by myself with E. We enjoyed a relaxing morning and then after E's afternoon nap we went over to Jason's aunts house because his grandmother (E's great grandma) was in town. It was good to spend of couple of hours with them and I'm glad E got to see her GG.

I ended the night with some yummy coconut milk chocolate ice cream and watching Once Upon A Time and Revenge.

How was your weekend?

Busy Productive Weekend

Jason and I had a fun and productive weekend. We headed out to Austin on Friday night to attend a friend's wedding. It wasn't until Saturday night so on Saturday morning we headed out for some shopping.

We first headed here:

This place gives me anxiety. Why you ask? Because when I want to leave a place I want to be able to leave a place right then, and Ikea doesn't allow you to do that. They want you to go through every piece of their store - even with the shortcuts. It's a brilliant move on their part but not for me. I felt so bad for Jason the first time we went to that store. Here I was about to freak out and he was looking at me like I had gone crazy. Oh well. I braved the store yesterday so we could buy a picture ledge for the nursery. Mission accomplished.

We then headed to the outlet malls in Round Rock and stopped in the Couch outlet store where I got this:

I used the rest of my Christmas and birthday money to get it and I'm so excited. It was marked down and then from that price it was 50% off. I scored a great deal! It's so cute and roomy.

I also bought some new walking/work shoes. I've been needing some new ones for awhile but couldn't find ones for a good price. I found these on sale, and they had them in my size! Yippee!

And I couldn't make a trip without buying something for our little girl. Look at the little flamingo - so cute! The Gymboree outlet was having a great sale and I got this cute little dress for over 50% off. I love good deals!!

We had lunch and then went back to the hotel to rest and then get ready for the wedding. The wedding was at this pretty little venue with a gazebo. They had the ceremony outside but the reception was inside. The wedding was great, and I'm so glad we got to celebrate with them.

Isn't the gazebo pretty?

I loved these little flower balls she had on the aisles. The purple/blue flowers were so pretty. I have no idea what kind they were, but I want them.

We sat by the cake which is very important to this pregnant lady =).

The pretty bride and me. So so happy for them!

My wonderful love and me

We headed back home Sunday morning and unpacked and then headed out to meet the newest little addition to some of our good friends, Crystal and Tommy.

I can't wait for our little girl to play with Miss Taryn in a couple of months. I think they are going to be good friends. My little one was even kicking while I was holding her - I think she was telling her hi!

Overall, we had a great weekend. Now just to make it through this next week to get to a three day weekend! Hope your weekend was great!

Amanda and Clif's Wedding!

This weekend we witnessed a glorious event - Amanda and Clif finally getting hitched! Yay! We are so excited to watch and pray for them as they start this journey together. Amanda was so beautiful in her dress and it was such a beautiful ceremony. I especially liked it when Clif came out to address the audience before the ceremony begin and talked about Christ and the grace we can have in Him and that he (Clif) would love to talk to anyone that night that wanted to know about that grace. Bonus: I got to see so many of my Hardin-Simmons friends that I don't get to see very often. It was like a mini reunion. That made my entire month!

The kiss!!

Cutting the cake!

*Funny story with this picture: We were about to smile for the picture and the little flower girl saw the camera and stepped right in front of us and posed. She apparently knows that she is cute and that cameras are obviously for her whether she knows the people or not. So precious!*

My love and me

I was really sad that I didn't get pictures with everybody there. It was so good to see them! Erin, Jana, Shea, Leslie, Kendall, Tessa, Sarah, Crystal and Tommy and anyone else I might have forgotten - I had a blast seeing you guys and wish I could see you more often. Love you!!

Last two weekends

These last two weekends have been busy. Two weekends ago, we went to Houston to see Jason's family and to see our niece, Karis. It was too short but it was so good to see everyone. I unfortunately did not get any pics of anyone except Karis because well she's just so darn cute.

Then this last weekend, our really great friend, Ryan, got married!! We are so excited for them to start this journey together. They are truly meant for one another. I called it the first day I met his wife, Amy. I asked Jason right after they left if they could get married (true story) and a year and half later, they did!! I can't wait to share life with them. They're the best.

Look at her holding the bottle all by herself!!

This was literally two seconds before she started crying. I seem to have that affect on children. Haha!!

Her dress was gorgeous!!

The happy couple and us

Jason asked if this could be our Christmas card pic...um..no, babe.

Well that's all for now, we're headed out for Chicago tomorrow morning! I can't wait. I will post pics from the vacation when we get back. For the rest of you working this week, I'm sorry!!! Enjoy the hot texas weather while I'm living it up in the Windy City!!
