Happy Halloweenie!

We had such a great time celebrating Halloween this year! Tom loved every minute of it! He went to the pumpkin patch with my moms group, went on his first hay ride and dressed up as a banana for trunk or treat at the church!

Babymooning

We had a wonderful time this past weekend in South Padre celebrating Stephen and Diana's wedding. We also threw our "Babymoon" into the wedding mix and stayed a couple more days to enjoy the beach! It is surreal to know that our last little vacay together has passed and I can't travel anymore. But we are so ready for the babe to get here! And Hello Third Trimester!

We arrived midday Thursday and hit the pool to catch some sun before heading out for dinner at the Palm Street Pier Bar and Grill overlooking the ocean. Then walked over to Louies for some drinks and dancing.

Since we have been going non-stop lately with work and life, we decided to get a couples massage on Friday morning. This was Austin's first massage and he really enjoyed it! It was my first prenatal massage and I realized just how bad I was missing out by not have getting one sooner!

After a little relaxation, we met the crew by the pool and had a great time. This body needed some serious Vitamin D.


Later that evening we went to the rehearsal dinner at Louies and partied the night away! Spring Break 2011. Seriously, I havent stayed up that late in a long time... We even went on a little booze cruise after dinner and saw the sights of Laguna Madre. It was beautiful! Just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of Dallas. The groom organized two parts to the booze cruise. The first part was relaxing at sunset and the music was all country and oldies since we had some older folks on the boat with us. We re-docked at 11pm just in time to find out that the Mavs won! Then we departed for round 2 of the cruise and I couldn't have prepared myself for what was to come. I have never laughed so hard in my life. We all have some great stories to share from that evening and we ended up back at Louies after the cruise.




Saturday morning we enjoyed some more pool/beach time as if we couldn't get enough! Later that evening we walked down to the beach for the ceremony and it was an amazing view. The bride and groom looked beautiful. After the ceremony we were greeted by a Mariachi Band and had cocktails on the patio and then went to the reception which was beautiful!




What a great weekend!!! Congrats to the Ratliffs!!

Dirk Alert - Playoff Style

Our friends, Rachel and Aaron, invited us out to the Mavs play off game on Saturday. We had so much fun! We had dinner downtown at Medina Oven and Bar which served great Mediterranean food and tapas. Rachel is pregnant as well so we really enjoyed catching up on all the pregnancy topics and planning for the future.

I am honestly not really a Mavs fan but I enjoy going to the games because I like people watching, celebrity sightings, I know the dirt and gossip on some of the players so I feel like I am part of the action and I like Dirk because he has a little spunk and is fun to watch. Austin actually likes the Mavs.

I'm sure the boys questioned bringing their pregnant wives to a Mavs playoff game instead of having a boys night out, but we are so glad they invited us to tag along and they didn't want to miss out on having a designated driver. Party!

The Preggos at the Jack Daniels Club with our water. We sure did get our 64 ounces in that night!

The boys acting goofy and letting loose!

Dirk! And a guy that looks like USHER in the background....

Mom's To Be Group

A friend or a friend invited me to a Mother's-To-Be get together last night at her house. I was skeptical about going at first because it was a new group of girls I didn't know, etc...., but it turned out to be a wonderful experience and so refreshing to be able to talk, vent, unwind about all things pregnancy that no one else really understands unless you have gone through it before. It was really neat because all of us are due within a few months of eachother. Everyone was so nice and open and we all got some great ideas and advice about daycares/nannies, dos and donts and all the things that no one tells you.

Baby T. and I are looking forward to all the play dates!

Out on the Town

We had a wonderful time this past Saturday night with the Easters and the Mahers. We ventured downtown to St. Annes to take in some great food and enjoy the patio scene. Then we met up with some friends at Barcadia. One Shirley Temple for me. I am really starting to love the fact that I never wake up with a headache anymore. It is pretty awesome!

Lucky In Love

This past weekend we hosted a wedding shower for our good friends Katie and Andy. The shower theme was Lucky In Love and we decorated with all things green. I loved the green candy bar! It was super cute. We all had a great time and enjoyed some delicious food! Too bad I forgot my camera.

Nola - You did us good!

I love when all the Thetas get together and let it all loose! haha! We had a great girls weekend in NOLA celebrating our Theta sister, Elizabeth's, bachelorette party! It was the first time to visit for some and others, it was an old hat with new tricks.

We danced the nights away and ate all the Nawlins food we could handle! We had so much fun! I can't wait to see everyone in January!!! Miss yall already!

Highland Capital Christmas

We had such a great time at the House of Blues of the HC Christmas party. The food was great, the band was fun and we had a great time hanging out with Austin's co-workers and friends!

Out on the Town

It's been a while since we all went out. We met the Coop's and Capps at Neighborhood Services in Uptown for Dinner. We love the food! My good friend's brother is the Executive Chef at one of the NHS locations and he cooked us up a fine meal!

After dinner, we got a little crazy and ventured next door to J. Blacks. We had a fantastic time; it was just like old times.....can't wait to do it again!

Game One

We had the Redman's and the Ray's over for a little BBQ and to watch game one of the World Series. I'm glad we were all able to make our schedules work this month to get together! There is nothing better than BBQ,cold beer and great company to share in this momentous occasion. Every Texas Rangers fan has been waiting their whole lives for this moment in time. Go Rangers!!!



This has to be the Best Costume Ever! Hands Down!

An Oldie But A Goodie

I am loving the monthly foodie group get-togethers! This month we had dinner on the patio at Patrizos in Highland Park. Loved the food, the atmosphere and the company was fabulous! We missed you TK!

Dirk Alert

What will Dirk get himself into this season??? Peyton and Keelan invited us to a Mavs preseason game and we were entertained by Dirk's new hair do....It is longer with perfectly placed tendrils....we came to the conslusion that he got his hair did before the game.

A Fair to Remember

This weekend we attended the Tech/BU game at Cotton Bowl Stadium at Fair Park. It was a close game...too close but Tech pulled out the W. We met up with a group of friends before the game and had a great time catching up and trying all the fair food. After some breakfast burritos and Fletchers Corndogs, we made our way into the stadium.



The game got a little intense before half time, so I had to break away from the Baylor crew (including my husband, BU Alum) during the 3rd QTR and go walk around the fair with the Tech crew. We walked 500 miles until we found the coveted fried cookie dough. A-mazing! It was so worth it!!!



After the Tech/BU game, we went to Top Golf to watch the Rangers game and squeeze in some dinner and golf.


And as if we had not had enough football for one day, our friends Matt and Shel had a hook up to get into the SMU game. After a tour of the equipment/locker room area, we ended up sideline no doubt and I got a free SMU t-shirt! What a fun evening and SMU won! Thanks Matt and Shel! We had a blast!
