On August 2nd, my sweet husband turned 30 years old!!! I can hardly believe he is 30 and that I've been with him almost half of his life. How much he's grown, changed, and gotten better. I think that's all that one can wish for reaching this milestone of a birthday. I am so proud of all that he is. As I watched him paint Emerson's little nails yesterday, I thought to myself, "only a real man would do that!"
We made a trip to Houston for several reasons. We had to return a work trailer, get K's boat from my Mom's, and attend my HS reunion. I decided that while we were there we should get our friends together for a dinner to celebrate sweet K's 30th! A second attempt at a "SURPRISE" was an epic fail. Nonetheless, we went to dinner at Yard House with our closest friends and Kris had a great night.
Our weekend was so packed and we had to fit in so much that I didn't get to do (or see) all that I wanted. Fortunately, I think another trip is coming up very soon!
The next night we went to my 10 year HS reunion. Let me tell you, we were tired come Sunday. Kris and I rarely go out outside of date night and to do it two nights in a row was definitely hard. But, being that we do it so rarely we decided to make the best of it and enjoy ourselves b/c it would soon be back to business as usual. Before the reunion, we went to dinner with Paige and her boyfriend Sam. We ate at the original Ninfa's and enjoyed lots of laughs, queso, and margaritas! We hit it off with Sam and agreed that this dinner should have been done from the very get go of their relationship b/c we all got to know each other and really hang out and have fun! We enjoyed them so! Off to the reunion we went and I got to see and talk to some folks I hadn't in a long time. It felt more like a night out with old friends then a reunion but it was still fun.
While we were in Houston, we took Sawyer to get his first haircut, something I had been putting off b/c I loved his long hair so much. I also loved that he looked like a baby still with it. But, it was beginning to get out of control as you can see from the pics. I love that we didn't cut it terribly short, just got it from looking crazy and out of his face. This age (18 months) is the EXACT age of H's first haircut and that seems special to me. H had the same kind of crazy hair. Sawyer did SOOO good and looks soo handsome! Love my little bitty, sweet baby boy!!
The Monday morning before we left Kris had some work business to take care of so we went to breakfast with Rosa and the kiddos. The kids didn't get to do much this trip so we knew they would love seeing their friends. Gavin and Rosa and Riley and Lars are very dear friends and the kids have grown up together so it is always a treat to spend time with them! The kids love each other!
After breakfast we did some serious back to school shopping with my Mom and Hayden got set up. I have always loved dressing my boys and I love that there are NO uniforms at the school he'll be attending. My guy is going to be so styling and handsome! Thanks Grandma for his (and Emerson's) new threads!
When we got home Kris's actual birth(day) was here and it was time to BAKE his day!! I started off with making him egg mc muffins for breakfast. He'd recently been saying how he liked the ones from McDonald's so I decided to make my own version and boy were they yummy. We decorated with balloons and party blowers and K opened his birthday card and looked through the album that I put together for him. It basically documented all the big milestones of his 30 years!
After he left for work the kids and I baked some super good chocolate cupcakes (courtesy of Pinterest) for him. We all had fun and made a big mess. That night for dinner I made one of Kris's favorite meals, loaded fettuccine alfredo and we sang "Happy Birthday" to him afterwards. He said he had great day with the family and that's all I hoped to achieve!
We are in our last few days before school starts again and trying to get the kids on an earlier bed time routine. That's proving to be a feat so good thing we've started a bit early. I will be back to update about our oldest child starting Kindergarten and to post about Emerson's new preschool!
