They say it's your birthday...

We threw a birthday party for Allan at the house this year. Alex and his friends came down from Chicago to pay us a visit. We made tie-dyed cake (see photos) as well as s'mores cupcakes, both of which turned out amazing. Also on the menu were Allan's special pulled pork sandwiches. He started roasting the meat around 9 AM that day. He's the only person I know that would actually enjoy cooking on his own birthday. Happy birthday!

I had the honor and pleasure of being a part of Bobby and Denise's wedding in May. There was a threat of rain all day, but we were fortunate and the clouds passed over. They are both dear friends of ours and it makes me happy to see how happy they are together.

girls day and girls night!



Girls day/Bachlorette party/Lingerie shower was a blast! We got a hotel room in downtown Dallas, hit the pool, and then went out afterward. My homemade sangria was a huge hit.

Happy Birthday Denise!



We took Denise out for an Italian dinner and afterward we went to Bobby's gig at Two Brothers. The pink cupcakes were awesome!!!

So, in the middle of the hectic month we were dealing with, I decided to surprise my husband with a quick trip to Oklahoma for a little break. We drove up on a Wednesday morning and stayed in a cabin, packed a picnic and just took it easy for a bit. Our cabin had a grill, so we grilled our dinner and had homemade cookies for dessert. It was just what the doctor ordered.
