Baby!!

We are welcoming our first child into this world!! 

I am 14 weeks along, and our due date is May 7th.  Everything has been great so far, it's been so hard not to tell everyone about it!  Here are just a few of the highlights -

* We told my parents by wrapping up the frame in this picture and giving it to my Daddy with his birthday gifts.  It was a very special moment that I hope I never, ever forget.

* I've felt great!  No morning sickness at all. 

* I am so very sleepy, all I want to do is sleep...and eat.

* Hubby is convinced that the baby is a boy, so we refer to it as him, and he.  I think he will be very disenchanted if it's a girl!  I'm a little worried...

* I'm so thirsty.  All I want is water all the time.  Which means I potty, all the time.

* I'm overly emotional.  Really overly emotional.  I cry at least twice a day, doesn't matter if I'm happy, sad, or just tired.

Battle of The Piney Woods

We started a new tradition with our friends this year - tailgating at the Sam Houston vs. SFA game at Reliant!  We had so much fun!  Jeff and his buddys went to Sam Houston, and made the wise decision to marry Aggie girls :)  haha!  Even though Sam Houston lost, we really enjoyed our day!

The Smith Family

The boys decided they wanted to play like they were still in college and shotgun a couple of beers before we went into the game.  They were too funny!

Some things never change :)

We had great seats!

I think it's a sign you are getting older when you think the college cheerleaders look like they are tiny and about 13 years old...they were so itty bitty and adorable!

This is where Jeff set up camp after the game.

And then he danced...

and danced some more...

We are now the proud owners of this cone.  And its twin.  Jeff decided we needed them.  See that beer in Josh's hand?  This is seconds before it was poured down the cone...haha!

What a day!

Congrats Erin & Rickey!!!

We had the most amazing weekend celebrating our friends' wedding!  Erin is one of my pledge sisters, and by far, the sweetest girl I have ever met.  It was a wonderful weekend full of fun, great friends, and lots of love!

The weekend started off with their rehearsal dinner at the Hobbit Cafe - it was a fun relaxed night with friends.

Erin and Rickey's Reception was at The Museum of Natural History, in the Dinosaur room!  It was so unique and beautiful!

Jill & Me

Aren't the dresses Erin chose beautiful?  I LOVE the color!

Me & Kelly on the Trolley. It was our transportation to and from the ceremony.  Too cute!

The table arrangements - L-O-V-E!

I loved their cakes - so classy and unique - just like Erin & Rickey!

I made hubby pose by the dino bones ; )

The dance floor was packed all night.  Can you tell we were having fun??

Rickey meant serious business!

After the wedding, we all headed over to Hotel ZaZa for a little post wedding celebration.

Erin & Rickey, we can't thank you enough for including us in your special day!  We were honored to be a part of it and we love you!

Jeff's 30th Birthday!

To celebrate Jeff's big 3-0, we headed to Vegas with some dear friends!

Our trip started out bright and early, with Kenny and Heidi picking us up a 4:45AM for our flight.  After a quick breakfast taco at the airport, we were on our way! 

Our Southwest flight attendants were amazing!  They gave us free drinks on our flight and made Jeff this cutie crown, which bought us a cut in line to get off the plane - ha!

Kenny and Heidi surprised Jeff with a driver to our hotel.  He was so excited and surprised!  I made him this magnet so everyone would know it was his birthday!

We stayed at the Monte Carlo, my most favorite hotel in Vegas.  It's really nice, great location, great rates, and the dealers are the best!

We checked our bags, and I taught the girls how to play craps for a little while before we checked into our rooms.  We all won!

Lindsey and Greg surprised Jeff by renting a cabana at the pool.  It was AMAZING!  It had comfy chairs, a really sweet waitress, and misters - which we really appreciated considering the fact that it was 104 degrees outside.  (Check out my cutie sign I made - haha!)

Too many drinks at the pool later, and we all headed up to get ready.

We had dinner at TAO that night - Jeff's restaurant of choice in Vegas.  We had an incredible dinner with great wine and even better friends.

Lindsey & Greg - on their 6 month anniversary!

Hubby's Birthday Dessert

After that we headed to the hotel lobby bar to watch my fave - their house 80's band! 

After that we went back to Tao, but Jeff didn't love the crowds, so we headed back to the hotel to gamble - which was fine with me!

The next day we spent the morning at O'Shea's playing craps.  So fun!  Then we headed to Margaritaville for some cheeseburgers in paradise...yummy!

We wondered around for the rest of the day, and then got ready for dinner at Brand Steakhouse at the Monte Carlo.

Me & Lindsey at the Bellagio

We found icing shots!!!  How fun is that???

Dinner was incredible!  See this rock?  It was really hot, and you cooked steak on it.  It was too fun!

After dinner we headed to Rain at The Palms to see Jazzy Jeff.  Remember him from the Fresh Prince?  haha!  We had SO MUCH FUN!

I LOVE when Jeff as this BIG grin.  I just think he is adorable when he smiles like this :)

We were having SO much fun!

Don't ask...because I have no idea...

It was a weekend we will never forget!  Happy Birthday Darling!!!!
