Crawfish!

So, I don't eat crawfish, but I love everything that goes along with them.  A patio, good friends, great music and cold beer!  This year's crawfish boil at Houston National was no exception!

We had a wonderful time and it was the perfect way to spend part of our anniversary weekend!

This was Tom's first Crawfish Boil - and he did great!  He's from New York, so we are breaking him in!  ha!

Our First Anniversary!

Jeff and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary!  He was adorable, he wanted to make all the plans himself and kept them all a surprise!

On Saturday, we drove downtown to the hotel ZaZa!  After being greeted with a glass of champagne, we relaxed in our gorgous room and then headed to the spa for a wonderful hour long couple's massage.  Heaven! 

I got Jeff a cookie cake, like the one I surprised him with on our wedding day :)  He loved it!

The next surprise was dinner at Shula's Steakhouse.  Amazing!  We had bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp, crab cakes, filets and lobster.  The restraunt was almost empty, so it was so nice and quiet - and the service was incredible!

Jeff planned the perfect anniversary, I felt as special as I did on our wedding day!

I am a very, very lucky girl!

Poor Bandit!

Our poor little Bandit has hot spots!  He is so miserable, and Jeff and I feel so terrible for the little guy!  I guess this is part of being doggie parents!

We have 11 more days of the cone...oh goodness!  Wish us luck!

Our First Married Easter!

Jeff and I had a perfect first Easter together.  We headed to POC to see Daddy and Pappa! 

Our first married Easter picture!

The First Baptist Church of Port O Connor's Choir.  They are truly amazing!

Every Easter Sunday, both of the Baptist churches get together a hold a sunrise service on the beach.  It is always so beautiful and peaceful.  What a wonderful way to start Easter Sunday!

My Daddy took Jeff, Bandit and Me out on the boat.  One of my favorite things in life is a boat ride.  It's so relaxing and pretty.

Bandit did great in the boat!  He enjoyed all the smells and birds.

We spent a couple of hours at Sunday beach.  As you can see, Bandit really enjoyed himself.  He ate seashells, tried to get hermit crabs, swam, and made lots of doggie friends!

What a perfect Easter!

Heartlight Dinner

Jeff and I were so fortunate to attend the Heartlight dinner this year.  If you are not familiar with Heartlight, it is a Ministry for struggling teens.  It's a amazing place that is very dear to our hearts.  If you are looking for a worthy cause to donate to, I can vouch that your money will go to great use!  http://www.hearlightministries.org/ We had a wonderful time with my family - such a great evening and event!  Here are some pictures from that night.

Our family.  We.Are.So.Blessed. 

Thanks Mom and Daddy for having us this weekend!  We love you!

And the reason we went to Dallas in the first place?  So Jeff could get this - his hobby car!  He is beyond excited and I must admit, it's contagious!  Isn't she cute?

Friday night was our last night at the Rodeo :( I'm going to miss it! We had a great group of friends, good music, great rodeo action...what else could we ask for?

We had such a great time! Until next year...

Weekend Recap - Parent's, Toby Keith and Baby Shower, Oh My!

We had a fun, jam packed weekend!

My parents came in town, which is one of my favorite things in the world! I just love having them at our house. And, I haven't seen them since Christmas, so it had been way too long!

We took them to the Rodeo to see Toby Keith. My Daddy met Toby in Park City a few years ago, and just thought he was the greatest guy. So, we knew they would enjoy seeing him. Due to a turned over tanker truck on 610 - it took us 2 hours to get there - aaaahhh! But, we got lots of catching up done on the way down there. They enjoyed the Rodeo, but I don't think they will be itching to come back next year. I didn't take any pictures because my camera was "missing in action" ie. had fallen under the seat in my car, oops.

Saturday night, we cooked steaks that Daddy brought - and they were amazing! We had such a great time with them and I am so happy that they came to see us!

Saturday we went to Britney and Brandon's baby shower. I must say, it was the most enjoyable baby shower I have ever been to! We can't wait for baby Cayden to get here!

Jeff and Brandon - Daddy to be!

Britney, Mom to be and me

The boys participated in a beer chugging contest - from bottles!

How adorable is this set up! Brandon's Mom did such a great job!
