Birth-iversary Weekend

Me, wearing the baby float as an "Aqua Sombraro"...much to Will's amusement.
Scott and Will laughing at my Aqua Sombraro.

Grandpa Tim, Will, and Scott...Will is wearing his floatie swimsuit that makes him look like Sponge Bob!
With Nana and Grandpa in the baby float. He loves it!
Swimming for the first time with Scott...this is so much fun!

Well, folks, we have returned from our adventure to Katy. It was a quick and eventful weekend, but very good. It is alwasy good to see family and friends again. We didn't get out of town on Saturday until about 10:00 am (my goal had been 9:00). I thought my brother's party started at 7:00 pm. Not so! It started at 6:00! We pulled up to the house right at 6:30, just in time for the blessing. Wow, what a trip! If I had been right, though, we would have made it early :)

The party was great...good food and great people. As you can see, we had a huge red velvet cake to feast on, plus brisket, beans, potato salad, green salad, chips, cokes of all flavors...it was a nice spread.

Saturday also happened to be my 27th birthday...27 on the 27th. I've been waiting for years for this to happen! Although I spent most of my day in the car, it was a very good day. A few minutes away from my parents house, we stopped on the side of the road to quickly change clothes and Scott gave me my birth-iversary gifts. I was happily surprised with a new pair of James Avery scrolled ichthus earrings (my third pair...I keep losing one!) and an ichthus lariat necklace--a new design from J.A. I was very excited. After the party died down and Will was asleep in his pack n' play, we headed out for coffee at one of the several Starbucks. However, it was too late; they had already closed. So, we had our anniversary date at Waffle House! Yum. It made me think of my late night college study times at Denny's and IHOP.

We made the trip back on Monday and made it home right at 10:00 pm. It was a good trip...long, but that is to be expected. Scott's anniversary gift, a portable DVD player, was put to good use entertaining Will with Baby Einstein and Finding Nemo movies. I definitely think it was money well spent.

Today was my last Tuesday at work! Woo hoo! Tomorrow finals start up in full swing and I dont' have to be there until 9:00 am! We get out at 2:30, too. I am loving this schedule. That said, it is now 11:45 and I must be getting some "beauty rest." We'll see if it works :)
