HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLES!

We had a great weekend celebrating Charles' 31st Birthday. I am so proud of the man he has become and what he means to Cade and I. He works all day to come home and work even harder for us. We love you Big Daddy! We started by going out to dinner with my parents to Saltgrass. A steak/potato dinner is the PERFECT way to celebrate anything!

Next we headed off for a couples retreat to Ft. Worth where we were able to make the 3rd Baylor game in a row this season. We got to see the beautiful campus of TCU.
And the amazing Baylor Cheerleaders.... hehehe...seriously, a cupie is hard!

Then, tonight we were able to celebrate with Charles' family at dinner. Gam-ee, Gramp-ee, Christopher, and Heather were all there to make it complete. We had some home cookin, and enjoyed a special rice crispy Birthday cake made with love by Gam-ee and Cade.

The best part of the weekend was having a mini vacation, just Charles and I in Ft. Worth. After the game, we got all dressed up and went to dinner at our favorite place IN THE WORLD, Reata's! Our dinner included: Appetizer- Smoked quail on a bed of jalepeno cheese grits, Stacy- Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lobster Florentine, Charles- 10 oz. Buffalo Steak with homemade mash, Dessert- Chocolate Ganache dessert taco's with homemade cinnamon ice cream. Are you drooling yet? I told you it is the BEST resturant ever! Dinner is fancy, but lunch is relaxed and 2 people can eat lavishly for under $30. If you are ever in Ft. Worth, got to REATA's! While we were living life, Cade had a blast with Gam-ee and Gramp-ee! My baby is SO SPOILED! He had a busy weekend as well...

First they were off to the races...

Then came a wardrobe change into his swimsuit (CHECK OUT THOSE ROLLS!)

Then came some water fun

Dangerous rides with fierce animals

Here he is playing football with some family. He would run after the football, get it, then run and throw it at them. Gam-ee said the family was super nice and let Cade show them a few tricks. I told you I have another FB player on the way!

All tuckered out after a long day! Thank you Gam-ee and Gramp-ee for keeping Cade and Baylor so we could enjoy a special treat. We love and appreciate all you do! We are so blessed to have you!

Happy Birthday to the world's greatest man, husband, dad, and friend! I love you Charles, SHMILY!

Are you ready for some Football?

As the Baylor Season opened this past weekend, you KNOW we were there to cheer on those Bears! It was a beautiful night in the mid 60's, slight wind blowing and a perfect win 34-3. Baylor played SHSU (where we both got our Master's degree's from)...so it was fun to watch them both play. OF COURSE, I must say our loyalty will always lie with our alma matter and we routed for our "home team" without a doubt! Here are a few pics of the fun!The Fam ready to cheer for the Bears!
That's what a bear says...ggggggrrrrr! Fierce, I know.

Check out the crowd, it was the 3rd largest opening Baylor game in our history!

Anyone else see the irony? Could I wind up with TWO Baylor Football players in my Family?
