Yea Summer!

With summer finally here and the temperature rising above 100 daily, Kenneth and I are in full wedding season swing! When we are not at a wedding, Kenneth likes to chop down trees or go to Astros games...
Andrew and Taryn's Wedding in Austin. We were both blessed to be in the wedding and take part in the action!

My sweet Mom's birthday! This cake was probably the best ice-cream cake I've ever had!

Nicolas and Courtney's wedding at Holy Rosary. This was such a special night for us because we were married at the same place and it brought back wonderful memories.

Hilary and Kenneth's wedding in Austin. The place they got married at was beyond cute!

Happy newlyweds!

Kenneth chopping down half of the tree in our front yard. A lot of the branches were against the house and we were afraid it would eventually cause damage.


I was afraid the garbage man would not pick up our branches, but luckily he did!
Faith and Family Night at the Astros' game


J.R. Towles (Astros' catcher) gave his testimony before Jeremy Camp played and did a great job.

Jeremy Camp!!

Memorial Day watermelon was the perfect pick!

Becka's bridal shower in Magnolia. The four of us were in a small group at Hook Up the summer before we started at UT. These girls were witnesses to when Kenneth and I first met at that camp!

Get crafty!

I made these photo boards for the three teachers retiring from our school! Kenneth even helped out to make sure they were done in time for the retirement party :) I hope they liked them!

Kenneth's birthday surprise!




This past Monday was Kenneth's 25 birthday. I decided to surprise him with a baby room transformation! The room was originally pepto pink and my brother did a superb job transforming it into beautiful baby yellow. Drew painted it in less than 18 hours while we were in Austin so it would be ready by the time we got home Sunday night. Thanks again Drew! Happy Birthday to the love of my life and my baby's daddy :)









Here is my brother Drew's info:                                                 steely.andrew@yahoo.com 281-630-3658
He is an awesome painter and will do a fantastic job for you! He can do any type of painting that you need. I highly recommend him :)

fun filled weekend

This past weekend was super packed but also super fun!

We started off Friday night at Whiskey River with some of our bible study friends and had a blast! Kenneth and I had not been to a dance hall in a while, so it was fun to "tear up the dance floor" again. It was Whiskey River's 1 year anniversary, so it was packed but it still had a great atmosphere.  No smoking which is a big plus, but they did charge us $2 for water, not cool. All in all, we had a fantastic time hanging out with friends and dancing. 

Saturday was our nephew James' 2nd birthday party at our neighborhood community center. He had a Curious George themed party, and Sarah Beth did a fantastic job with all of the decorations. There were bananas everywhere, pin the tail on George, George pinata, banana cake, Curious George book favors and even Jack Johnson background music! All of the kids were really excited and had fun. 


Saturday night, Christopher and Jessica joined us to go see Unknown at Silverado. I really like this new movie theater because it is not grungy, has a real restaurant/bar you can eat at,  an ice-cream bar, and unlimited drink/icee refills with the coolest touch drink dispensers. We ordered food to go and ate it in the movie theater while we waited. The movie was good, very similar to Bourne Identity and reminds you of Taken. There was enough action in the movie to keep the boys happy, yet the story line could have used some help. My unprofessional critic rating would be a solid 7. Go see it for a quick thrill, but probably wouldn't buy the DVD.

Sunday Kenneth and I were planing on tackling our storage room and finally turn it into the baby room, however we got majorly sidetracked when we started looking online at cribs and saw that Babies R Us was having a really good sale. So we hopped in our car and headed over to take a look. Kenneth's parents met us to help with the process. After looking at BRU, we decided to also go look at USA Baby, but in the end we went back to BRU and bought a crib and dresser! We really liked our choice and our Baby Book gave this brand an A for overall safety, material used, quality, etc... 
It is the Baby Cache (made by Munire) Heritage Collection in cherry!!!
After the big purchase we went and ate at my parents house, our normal Sunday tradition. My parents had just made a purchase also, they bought an XBox Kinect. We were all dying laughing when we tried to "dance" along. Fortunately, my dad got it all on video tape so they can blackmail us whenever needed. The Kinect is the coolest technology I have ever seen, the way it can recognize your entire body is amazing. 

What a fantastic weekend!
