Birthday Celebrations!

Friday night M and I took what turned from being a 25 minute drive to a 50 minute drive to get to dinner...  Who would have thought that in the 4th largest city in the US, traffic can be a bit of a problem? At 7:00 though..seriously??  Since my husband set a precedence before we moved here that we would never use the tollway for ANY reason...we got to Cheddars a little later than anticipated.  Nonetheless, we arrived, and the Casual Cafe did not disappoint...I had been saving up calories all week.  Chicken tenders, bbq ribs, and the infamous cookie monster.


Birthday boy excited about Cheddars.
We figured our arteries weren't clogged properly enough...
  Saturday night, we hosted a dinner party to celebrate Matthew and Kelly's birthdays.  Kelly and Glen are our new incredible friends that we met the first Sunday we went to church in Houston...  We have a lot in common with them...and it also helps that they have one of the cutest/happiest babies ever :)  Sam and Christel and their sweet baby boy Eli came as well!  We all live within a couple of minutes from one another, such an awesome blessing to have friends that close in a city this big!

No, our dining room table still isn't in.  Hopefully this week.  Thankfully Sam and Chris have a folding table that seats 6!


Matthew and I spent most of the day Saturday cleaning, cooking, baking, and other chores... Lexi really must be used to sleeping ALL day while we are at work because this is what she looked like around 3 in the afternoon... bless her heart.

Baby Glen wore something special in honor of M's birthday...his Birthday Suit!

We served one of M's favorite homemade meals... Fish tacos with homemade slaw, cilantro/lime sour cream, Mexican rice, and black bean salsa.
