Bouffant!

What a great "bouffant" weekend, as Josh Blue would say! Bruce and Ellen came and stayed the weekend with us and we had a wonderful time! There is just not enough time in the weekend to do everything! We were excited to take them to some of our local places like Hungary's and the bar next door, as well as, George's Pasteria (one of our favs)! Saturday we had lunch with Gardner Parker at PF Chang's where we witnessed a true Longhorn camper eat from a metal tin and then proceed to wash his own dish! The guy at the bar asked me if Bruce had not been able to pay the bill... haha! It was a great lunch and super fun - it helps when cakebread is on the menu!
Saturday night we had tickets to the Houston Improv to see Josh Blue who was a winner on Last Comic Standing. He had us all in stitches! (With the new equipment in my mouth, this was almost literally!) I promise i was having a wonderful time in these shots, but I haven't quite figured out how to smile with this bar in my mouth! I will get it down!

Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy McKnight!

Friday, Bill and I turned our thumbs into guns and headed for Lubbock for Amelia and Jeremy's wedding! Everyone kept saying how much Lubbock had changed from the last time they were there... aside from becoming wet, I seemed to still see only flat land - wink! We tossed a few tortillas and headed to the stadium club to begin the celebration at their rehearsal dinner! Afterwards, everyone went to Cafe J's for a nightcap and then to the hotel.
Wedding day began with a margarita at Chimey's which I have been told is a local favorite... two thumbs up! The wedding ceremony was at the Methodist church and Amelia was such a stunning bride... everything was absolutely beautiful! We headed to the country club for the reception where we danced the night away with the band. Congrats to Amelia and Jeremy! We are so excited for you both and honored to have been included in your big day!

Memorial Day Neighbor BBQ

Bill and I had a great weekend just relaxing! We jogged, played a little tennis, caught up on a few things around the house... It felt really great not to have any set plans because starting next weekend we are jam packed! Memorial Day, we went over to one of our neighbor's house for swimming and BBQ! So much fun.
Salon Madison! My toes were a beautiful princess pink!

Mr. Bill and Jacob!

Waiting on Ya-Ya's ribs!

4 under 4!

Yesterday Bill and I went to celebrate the newest additions to the Serice family! They have adopted 2 beautiful little girls and recently adopted their third, William! Sweet Erin is due with a little boy in October... that makes 4 under the age of 4! What a sweet family.

Bill had a great time catching up with all of his Amegy buddies... just like old times!

Backyard BBQ and Babies!

Last night Bill and I had the Kerrs and the Petersens over for a backyard BBQ to test out the new patio furniture! We had such a good time! Bill grills one mean burger and fantastic chicken! Hats off to the chef.

Ella and Noah are two of the cutest babies ever! They were completely enamored with each other. I don't think there is anything sweeter than 2 babies smiling and laughing!

I cannot get over how much Ella has grown! I just love those big blue eyes - looking more and more like her beautiful mommy! She has such the little personality... she got totally excited over my cup of ice (Ashley tells us that she just loves ice) and became attached to my dress as she wanted to wrap herself up in it! Of course, I would let this sweet thing do whatever she wanted just to see that cute smile again!

Tucker, of course, had to get in on the action as well!

Swine Hives?

Maybe my hives were a result of the worry about the Swine Flu... HaHa! Not sure what I got in to, but I hope this never happens to me again!
Hives Stage 1: still partying with the girls. Kept spraying off as I thought I was getting bitten by bugs!

Hives Stage 2: A little more worried now... is it my dress that I bought in SA from Fiesta? Change of clothes and the girls searched for first aid gear!
Hives Stage Freak Out: Okay, no funny anymore... calling mom and doctor!

Outbreak!

This weekend was Amelia's bachelorette party in Lakeway! The house that we rented was so amazing and I had such an awesome time with the girls! After a relaxing day on the lake, we all decided to head back up to the house for showers, dinner, and more silly girl fun... so i thought! Around 7PM that night i thought i had been bitten by a mosquito. This was the start of my hive outbreak! I began to blister under both arms, then onto my sides, legs, and neck! My parents ended up coming to get me at around midnight since they were the closest and I proceeded to take benadryl through the night until my hives had gone down. Luckily no emergency visit, but i am still on the benadryl. I cannot believe that this happened to me and have no idea where they came from. Here are some pictures before the scary hives!
