Happy Birthday John!!!

John turned FIVE years old yesterday! What a big boy he has become! Ryan, Braidy and I brought him Chick-fil-A and ate with him at school. He had his birthday crown on and seemed to be having a great day!!!

We had his birthday party last weekend at Ready, Set, GO! It was such a fun place and the kids had a blast. They jumped on trampolines, swung from a swing, jumped in the foam pit, and did all sorts of fun gymnastic activities. They were all red-faced by the time playtime was over, they were worn out! John got some great new gifts and had lots of sweet friends come celebrate with him!

Happy Birthday Johnny! We love you very much!!!!

Easter: better late than never!

Easter weekend was full and fun. Nena and Pops came to visit us to celebrate Easter and John's 5th Birthday, too! They even got to watch one of John's baseball games, which was definitely a highlight for all parties involved!!! Friday, Nena and Pops took the boys to Chuck-E-Cheeze (or "ChuckCheese" as Braidy lovingly refers to it as!). What would a trip to Lubbock without Chuck-E-Cheeze be? Saturday Pops was conned into helping Ryan with a project in the backyard, so we were in and outside all day. That night was John's Birthday Party!!! He had his party at Ready, Set, GO! and it was such a fun place! The boys got to stay up until 11pm that night to help Pops and Nena dye Easter eggs, and boy, did they have fun!!! Since they did stay up so late, just mommy and daddy went to church that morning, I have a feeling if we would have woken them up for the 8:30 service, it wouldn't have been pretty. When Ryan got home, Nena and Pops went to Mass, so it all worked out. The Easter bunny came to visit after mommy got home from church that afternoon. He was so good to the boys. He hid candy eggs outside and MONEY eggs inside! He left a basket of goodies in the living room and a pile of goodies on the kitchen table. They were spoiled rotten!!! We finished the weekend with a trip to the park to fly kites and a yummy dinner at Ohana! We had a wonderful weekend!! Here are some pictures of our fun!

Rachy's 23rd

This past Sunday, my mom, Braidy and I went to Wichita Falls for the night. Monday we drove to Dallas to surprise Rach for her 23rd birthday! She knew Jess and Crockett were coming, but the rest of us were a surprise. Aside from the driving, it was alot of fun. I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again, Braidy is an awful traveler! ECK!

Monday I got to go meet my sweet new nephew, Noah. H is just precious and I loved every minute I got to spend with him. I can't wait to go back for more baby time!



It seems like aside from that, all we did was EAT while we were there, but I'm pretty good at eating so it worked out nicely! We had a nice dinner at LaDuni on Monday night and a fun lunch at Breadwinners on Rach's actual birthday.



Crockett and Braidy had tons of fun together. They completely wrecked our hotel room by unrolling a whole roll of toilet paper and pulling out every kleenex from the box. Whatever keeps 2 babies happy.

Such a fun few days with my mom and sisters. Love you all, and thanks for a great trip!

Noah Russell Curry

Ryan and I have a new nephew!!! Noah Russell was born on March 25th at 4:20 and weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is beautiful and absolutely perfect! Unfortunately, we could not be there for his birth, but we will get to meet him very soon, and we cannot wait. Congrats to Uncle Todd and Aunt Marci! We cannot wait to see you as mommy and daddy, I know you will be amazing parents. Noah is a lucky little man. He also has 2 cousins ready to "show him the ropes!"...And here are some pictures we've gotten of the precious little man himself! We love you sweet Noah!!!!

Fogo De Dallas

This past weekend we headed to Dallas for a couple different reasons. 1. Ryan's cousin, Mark, was getting married. 2. We thought Todd and Marci were going to have baby Noah on Monday so we would be there for his birth. 3. Spend time with family. 4. Celebrate Ryan's birthday one more time! We accomplished almost all of these.

We headed down Friday to be greeting by some homemade fried shrimp. (Yes, a majority about this blog/trip will be about food...) We hung out with the Curry's and enjoyed our delicious dinner. Braidy was OBSESSED with Bella and Baylee (the dogs). He wanted to be outside with them every second, and as soon as he woke up in the mornings, he'd say "arfff arfff"...and apparently, he wanted to pick Baylee's nose for him...eeeck.

Saturday we went to the wedding in Ft. Worth. It was incredible. It was at a church as was the reception. No offense to anyone who wanted or had a "church reception" but I just thought it'd be typical, cake, punch, a bunch of talking wtih family. I was wrong. It was beautiful. The colors were yellow and a red color, but the reception was all yellow. It was a "Dessert Reception" great idea! In one room they had a food station where you could fill up your "paper cone" with cheese popcorn, caramel corn or regular butter popcorn. They also had jars filled with lemon heads (YUM!) and lemon sucker stick things. Then in the other room they had glass bottles of lemonade and banana pudding in the "shot glass" that restaraunts are now serving desserts in. A few bites = perfect amount. Then in the big room they had more Desserts in the shot glasses: chocolate mousse, tiramisu, and more. They also had german chocolate cakes, chocolate mousse cakes, and even a station to make nachos. It was fancy and a great idea. I loved it!

Saturday night, Nena and Pops "braidy-sat" for us so that I could take Ryan out to Fogo De Chow for his birthday, and Todd, Marci and Dan joined us. It was fabulous. We all ate a TON and left there feeling a little sick. I know the boys especially enjoyed it and probably got their money's worth! Those boys can eat!



Sunday we had a crawfish boil before everyone left to head home. 140 lbs of crawfish later, we are feeling sick again. But, man, was it TASTY.









Marci's doctor decided not to induce on Monday =( so we did not get to be there for his birth, but the good news is, he is coming soon!!! I can't wait for my sweet little nephew to be born. I love him already!!!

We drove home early Monday morning. Let me just say that Braidy HATES riding in the car. He's never been a good traveler and as he ages, it doesn't get much better. This picture sums up the trip home =)
