Weekend Recap

This weekend was packed with activity but also a lot of fun.  I love weekends spent with friends and family and that's just what we did!

I started off Friday night with a mani/pedi and cooking shrimp etouffee for our friends.  I love cooking for friends although I may not be that good at it.  The etouffee was a little spicy but still edible and we have enough for leftovers.  Yum!

Saturday we had our lawn guys come and update our flower beds - they look much nicer!  Now we have to remember to water them.  (the flower beds. . . not the lawn guys).  Then we packed up and drove to Beaumont to see our families.  Saturday my friends and family gave me a baby shower and it was very nice!  Not only was the shower super cute but so many friends came and were so generous to give us nice gifts.  We are so blessed and we're so grateful!  Saturday night we went to eat with my husbands family at a yummy Italian place and had a great time!

Sunday we went to church with my parents and cooked lunch for my mom.  My mom and I watched Tangled while everyone else took a little nap and then we went swimming in my parents freezing pool!  We then went to dinner, packed up the car and headed back to Houston. 

bee-tee-dub - Tangled was a really cute movie. .  I just love Disney movies. . . well most of them.

I am tired today but it was a good weekend so it's worth it.  This week is busy with dinner plans, bible study, baby classes and of course at least 40 hours of work.  :)

Hope you have a great week!

First Kiss

Ryan Seacrest tweeted this video yesterday and it is so adorable.  This little boy and little girl decide they like eachother and they should kiss.  It's so cute.   My first kiss wasn't quite as cute as this but it felt as silly.  LOL.

Moms Rock!

SIGH.... well I DO want to blog about lots of things, it's just not happening right now.  I've been very busy preparing for baby, preparing my house for baby, having a husband, working, church, family, friends, side projects, etc. (same as everyone else) and I just haven't had a minute to sit down and download all the pics for the things I want to blog about.

I wanted to write a blog about gift ideas for Mothers day, and I wrote part of it, but never finished it.  Boo on me.  So, since I don't have my pictures downloaded and I didn't finish my gift idea list, I'll just write a short note about how much I love my mom. . . because. . . well. . . I do!

My mom is awesome,ya'll!  She's like the bomb.com.  (did I just say that?)  We've not always gotten along throughout the years but I know my mom has always been there for me and always will be.  I'm not sure what kind of mom I'll be when it comes down to the everyday, 24/7 job of being a mom, but I hope I'm half as great as my mom.  She's always there to help her family and always lends a listening ear, give us a hug, and make everything better.  I'm one lucky gal!

(My grandma, mom, my other grandma and my great aunt)

I am also thankful for all the other amazing women in my life including my mother(s)-in-law, grandmothers, girlfriends, mentors, and aunts.  If you don't have a mom or a great relationship with your mom, that's ok.  Even if you think Mothers Day is a "hallmark holiday"; take a minute to think about a woman in your life who is there for you in some way. . . and tell her you love her (or at least appreciate her).

I hope all the mothers out there enjoy this weekend!

Love,
Stef
