Father's Day 2013

Father's Day is almost always filled with laughter, fun, basketball & lots of food.

This Father's Day was a pretty awesome one.

Our girls went to court and legally had their names changed and gave my

husband, their Dad of 18 years, a very special gift.

They now wear his last name.

Happy Father's Day!

Hubster Bday

Last week we celebrated Hubster's 40th bday... We went to dinner at Texas Land & Cattle and he had himself a man's steak! 

Of which, the boy ate almost 1/3 of... LOL

Then we had dessert at his mom's house - didn't get a pic of the carrot cake from J.Alexander's or the chocolate spice cake from Tiago's... trust me, they were unbelievable!

This past weekend we went to dinner to celebrate one of my BFF's birthday and I remembered to ask someone to take our picture, since I alway seem to forget to do that... lol

Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubster!

I Thank God Everday for creating you and for joining us together to get thru this life.  I love you!

Anniversary

Yesterday, the hubster & I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We have been inseparable for 16 years and he is the most amazing man. I am so blessed and so thankful that God placed us together to share this crazy journey. He is my love and my best friend - nd he totally rocks my world!

 We were treated with sushi for lunch, then palled around for the afternoon. After the boy got home and finished his homework we went and played disc golf, then topped it off with some tasty gourmet pizza from Maars.

We then treated ourselves to a pair of Dallas Cowboys football tickets against the NY Giants in December. :-D Hopefully the Boys will show up and give us a good game. I'm excited about seeing the house that Jerry built and all of its topnotch technology. I'm mostly excited about spending the weekend with the man!

May in Pictures... Plus Hodgepodge

Here's what we did in May.

LQ played the Snail in Frog & Toad.

I went to College Station to visit F and her new kitten.

There were many Sonic happy hours for LQ & I.

Dad & LQ got to share one for themselves while I was in CS.

Had a beautiful Mother's Day.

Got an awesome waffle iron.


Made, and ATE, lots of waffles.

Started Marathon training.

Went to Reading Restaurant at LQ's school.

There was no power, therefore dark and very warm.

But, very rewarding.

Ate pizza.

Played Dance Central on Kinect.

Played disc golf.

Q had to dry his socks on the way to church one Sunday. 

Played disc golf again, and hunted for my disc for

at least 20 minutes before we spotted it in this tree.

We celebrated LQ's 7th birthday with family & classmates.

We had water fun, frozen t-shirts, colored bubbles, spongebob, & cake!

Went to a baby shower for F's BFF.

Our church purchased the Verizon Ampitheater property

and we held a celebration & ice cream party.

LQ finished tball.

We played more disc golf.

Spent $14 at a couple of garage sales.

And ate a 28" pizza.

Whew!  I'm tired & full!

************************

Linking up with Joyce's Wednesday Hodgepodge today!

Show some love & give her & everyone else a read :)

 

1. Have you ever been to the US capital-Washington DC? If so, what's your favorite site? If not, what would you most like to see on a visit to that city someday in the future? Is it even on your list of places to visit?
Went 5(?) years ago on a business trip.
I loved the Lincoln Memorial & Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Wish I had more time for more sight-seeing.
Hope to go again with the hubster.

2. When did you last attend a wedding? Are there any weddings on your summer calendar? Were you a summer bride? If you're single, is summer the season of your dream wedding?

Last wedding was in October.
The hubster's best friend is getting married this summer in July.
We - I - am so excited.
He's an awesome guy and has met a wonderful woman.

3. What is your favorite way to eat strawberries?

With my bare hands.
With a little sugar.
Or, on top of angel food cake with whipped cream.
With a fork ;)


4. What is one thing you are especially looking forward to this summer?

Eric's wedding.
Going to Vegas with the hubster.
Swimming pools.
(was I only supposed to list one?)


5. Do you use/like the self checker at the grocery store?

Only if I have less than 5 items.
Otherwise, I stand in line.
HEB rocks at getting people in and out quickly.


6. Share a favorite piece of common sense advice.

Help someone else whenever you can.
Lying, especially to yourself, is way too much work.

7. Barefoot, flip flops, tennis shoes, sassy sandals-your first choice for summertime?
Flip flops & tennis shoes.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
It's National Running Day!
Go out and run!
Even a little!
The hubster ran 3 feet this morning!

It began with waffles...

LQ's birthday was Saturday.
He wanted waffles for breakfast - again.

So I made a stack of them with my mother's day waffle iron.

Then I poured myself some coffee.

And enjoyed watching him eat.

Then the hubster came downstairs for his fair share.

LQ's birthday was awesome! I now have to pick through 275 digital pictures to share & blog about. I sometimes miss the days of the "24 exposure roll of film."

Bowling Results

We had our final round of bowling for the season last night.

It was position round.

We were in 1st place by 1 game!

The best we had to do to stay in 1st place was to split our games.

 

We lost 1st game by 75 pins.

Dad bowled well.

We didn't help him.

We lost 2nd game by 28 pins.

We all bowled well and should have won.

BUT, they had a bowler bowl almost 100 pins over her average.

We needed to win the 3rd game by 104 in order to win total pins.

We won by 38.

DOH!

So we finished in 2nd place.

I know 2nd place is not a bad thing.

But it's not 1st!

Mom & I did our best to keep the bowling spirit alive to the end.

But we were sad.



We'll be back in the fall.
Ready to go for it again!
