Birthday's and Football

This weekend I went home to see my dad's football team play. We lost 36-32. It was a tough loss. It was also my mom and sister's birthday's. I brought a cake from this place in Pflugerville called Simon Lee Bakery. They make the best cake. Here are some pics from this weekend. Some are pics of us girls before the football game and of the birthday cake.

Mom and Rob's Birthday Cake! So yummy! My grandad said it was the best cake he had ever eaten!

I thought this was a great pic of my dad on the field before the football game. We love him so much! He is so proud to be a grandpa! :)

Another exciting thing that happened this weekend is my brother got a new pickup truck. Below is a pic of it! So pretty!

Weekend

We had a busy weekend. Friday, I went with Amanda and Deidre to Chili's for dinner before the football game. We decided to leave the game during the 4th quarter considering the parking at Westlake is so bad and we were going to have to hike 2 miles back to our car. As we were leaving a police officer told us we could go this other way that was faster to our cars...45 minutes later, 3-4 miles along we finally make it back to our cars (I cried most of the way, yelling at Westlake cars to help us find out way). Luckily Amanda had a GPS on her phone because we were so far from the staduim we barely made it back. Oh and by the time we got back to our car the game was over and most everyone had left. So much for leaving early... I am just glad that Deidre half way through our adventure reassures us that we will be ok because she took karote when she was in elementary. That was so funny.

On Saturday - I took Stella to get groomed. She hates going to the groomer. It breaks my heart everytime I leave her. When I go to pick her up they always tell me "she is very high maintenance, and very wiggly on the grooming table" I am like "what dog isnt" Stella knows when I walk in because you can hear her YELPING to get out of the crate. When they open the crate she dashes out, literally and runs so fast and jumps (yes she can jump) over the gate into my arms. The lady goes "oh my we need to make sure and write on her chart that she jumps over the gate" Um...are we in elementary where we keep a conduct card???? Poor thing...but she does look and feel better.

While she was out of the house I had the carpets cleaned in all four bedrooms. I wanted them cleaned before the baby came. They look amazing...While they were drying - mom, Robin and Kyle came down and I took mom to get her hair cut/colored. Kyle stayed and watched the OU/Tex game while us girls ran around. Later that night Doug and I went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and came home to put together the baby bed. Doug had it together in no time.

I got Chance's baby bedding in this week. So I was very anxious to put it in the crib for a "test run". We finally finished the stripes on the wall last weekend and everything looks so good. I ordered the crib bedding from http://www.polkatotdesigns.com/. Very pleased with how it turned out.

Have a good week! :)

Loving Fall

This weekend has been a busy weekend. Friday mom came down and went to the football game with me. This week was a bye week for Dad's football team so he was out scouting for this coming week. Mom and I went and had Casa Garcia's mexican food for dinner before the game. It was so good! We also ran by Target (our fav place to shop) because we had an hour to spare before the game. On Saturday we got up and headed out to Registry for baby stuff. We went to Babies R Us first and spent 2 hours in there. When we got the scanner mom and I just stared at each other because we didnt know for sure what to get (there are so many brand names, not sure what was the best one). We had fun though. After that we had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, another one of our fav places here in Austin. We love their factory chopped salad. :) Then we went to Kohls and Hobby Lobby before we headed to Target to registry there. All in all it was an overwhelming, fun, tiring day. :) We came back to the house where we sat and watched Doug paint the babies room. He is almost finished! There are pics of the room and the new ceiling fan. Doug thinks it is kind of too fancy for a babies room, but I love it!

I am really into the fall colors and smells this year. Mom bought us some mums to plant in my two pots out front and I got a new doormat for the front door. The colors all cordinate!

I had dinner with two of my best friends tonight...we went to the Cheesecake Factory. It is half way for all of us. We had a great time. They both have lil ones so we had to cut dinner short because they were getting fussy. I dont have school tomorrow, because I have JURY DUTY. Oh joy. :)
