A wonderful 30th in The Woodlands

The weekend started out with a day off for me on Friday! WOOHOO. As soon as we arrived in The Woodlands, I took off to visit some friends at Lamar. Emma was dying to see BB so it wasn't too hard to drag her around the school with BB being the reward at the end of our visit. We then headed to Nan's office. After I convinced her boss to let her leave early for a margarita with her daughter, we headed to Alamo Joe's for Happy Hour with the Lamar teachers. We then took off to The Gratlands for a great family dinner.

Saturday morning we went with Nan to see Chandler's basketball game. He was too cute running up and down the court but didn't want anything to do with the ball. :) Emma was all about the hugs with her cousin Collyn. She just LOVES her! She also managed a hug with Kyle as well. Although it looks like she is squeezing her to death!

More HUGS!

Then Saturday night Ryan had a wonderful evening planned! We headed off to Pappasitos for my "surprise" party, which I pretty much knew everything about. It was really fun celebrating with all my friends and family at my FAVORITE restaurant. Gosh I just can't get enough of their food. So Yummy!

This was my surprise gift from my 4 wonderful parents! I have been wanting a jogging stroller but did not want to buy a single one since we plan to have more children. Of course I had some explaining to do about a double stroller in the room. Hopefully Ryan and I will have another one on board soon. :)

Emma and t'Barrett had a ball playing in my new stroller!


So this is what is will be like some day!

Emma is so excited, she can have baby sit next to her in the stroller. She has to have baby every time we go to Stroller Strides now or for a walk!

Thank you family for the best birthday a 30 year old could ask for. I had such a great weekend!! I am so incredibly blessed to have you all in my life!

Thank you Ryan for all of your planning to make my birthday so special. I could not have asked for anything else. I love you!

Thank you mom for passing Gammy's ring on to me. I just love this ring and I think of Gammy every time I look down and see it.

I am excited for the next 30 years! I know they are going to be so much fun!
