Weekend Shenanigans!

Happy Monday, friends!
I am linking up with Sami over at Sami's Shenanigans to share all about our weekend!


FRIDAY

1.  Tried a new recipe thanks to my sister-in-law....Memphis Style Pulled Pork.  And it.was.amazing.  I cooked it for 8 1/2 hours in the crock pot and it was DELISH!
2.  Connor has started to hold on to things on his own.  I put the little rattle in right by his hands and he grabbed it and held on.  Love seeing how much he changes each week.
3. The little guy must be going thru a growth spurt.  He slept off and on ALL day Friday!  It gave me a chance to get a lot of things around the house done.  AND he slept thru the night for the first time ever!! He went to sleep about 8:30 and woke up at 6:30.  Happy, happy Mama and Daddy :)
4.  The first Texans pre-season game was on and that means my husband was glued to the TV.  And that also means it was Connor's first of many, many football games and a really cute photo opportunity for Mama.  This is one of my most favorite pictures of them together ever.  I am getting it framed for daddy's office :)


SATURDAY

My brother came home!!!! So glad he is back home safe after 7 months!


SUNDAY

We took Connor to my home church where I grew up for the first time.  I am terrible and didn't get any pictures though.  Boo.  We put him in the nursery so we could enjoy the service but I got paged in the middle of it because he was crying and not taking the bottle.  So, I had to miss the last half of the service since I had to feed him.  But, that's ok.  It was fun seeing so many friends and people I have known for the majority of my life!

He slept thru the night again!! Whohooo!!

After church we went to one of my best friend's 30th birthday brunch at America's.  Brunch buffet + bottomless mimosas, margaritas, bloody Mary's and mojitos...Yes, please!! (Although I only had one margarita...no bottomless drinks since I am still BF ;) )  Holly and I have been best friends since we were in 7th grade!  Fun day celebrating her big 3-0!

The past 2 weeks...

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! So, here is a very random post with some updates!

- Hubby and I saw The Hunger Games on the opening night. We got there about an hour early and got in line. He was thrilled, let me tell you. Ha! We both loved the movie but I loved the book way more. There are just so many details they have to leave out in the movie. But, it was still very good and stayed very true to the book. My husband even liked it and he has never read the book. The only negative thing I have to say is... I had motion sickness thru almost the entire movie. We were in an IMAX and with the style of filming they used- I was SO nauseous! I had to close my eyes at least 20 times during the movie and convince myself several times not to throw up. I definitely want to see it again in a normal movie theater or just buy it when it comes out (duh) and watch it at home!


-Spring time in Texas is one of my favorite times of year! Everything is so green and all the wildflowers are blooming.




- Our pool is so close to being done! Next up they are pouring the concrete and stamping it then finishing the bottom of the pool and finally the fire pit. We hope it will be ready in the next 2 weeks!


- Just an FYI...gas is CRAAAZY expensive in California! It cost over $80 to fill up my little rental car, Impala!


- This Friday we are off to Augusta, Georgia to spend the weekend with my family and go to The Master's final round on Sunday!! WHOHOO!! My husband is a golfer and over the past few years I have started to love golf (not playing, but going to touraments) so this has become one of our favorite yearly traditions! This will be our 4th year going but our first time going on the final day. We are hoping Tiger is finally back to his old self (minus his terrible choices in her personal life) and can pull off a big win this weekend! How cool would it be to be sitting at the 18th hole of The Master's watching Tiger Woods win?!

Houston Rodeo, St. Patty's Day & Mom's Surprise Party

Whoa, what a fun and exhausting week we have had! In the past 5 days I have- gone to the rodeo twice and seen The Band Perry and Brad Paisley, finished planning and pulling off my Mom's surprise 50th birthday, went out and had a little too much fun for St Patty's day, spent a fun weekend with some of our closest friends that were in town from Dallas and spend a few hours on the lake with my hubby! Now all I want to do is sleep! Here are some pictures from all the fun!

This week I need to get back to my diet and working out...I slacked off bigtime the past 2 weeks! AND, get ready for the future Mr & Mrs Louis's couples shower I am helping host in Dallas this weekend! Whohoo! Hope yall have a great Monday!! xo

Weekend Finds- World Market Shower Curtains & Towels

I have always had a bit of an obsession with shower curtains and towels (strange, I know). I think they add so much color and character to boring, dull bathrooms. Well, I wandered into Cost Plus World Market over the weekend just to browse and I was walking thru the bath section and came across the cutest shower curtains and towels that I have ever seen. I wanted to buy all of them! Here were my favorites:

If you don't have this store in your city you are missing out! But, lucky for you, you can shop online! =) I could go on and on about all the other awesome stuff I found that I wanted to buy. This store can be dangerous for your wallet!
Happy Shopping!

Weekend Wrap Up

We spent A LOT of time at home this weekend. It was our first weekend we were in town together at our new house. We did a lot of unpacking, organizing and decorating. And we did a lot of shopping at Pottery Barn, Bed Bath & Beyod and Target! I swear as soon as we make a little more progress on the house I will post a lot of pictures! :)

We had my father-in-law's really awesome, really fast Audi R10 parked in our garage over the weekend so we just HAD to take it for a little drive and out to dinner one night. This car is crazy...it has a Lamborghini engine in it. The trunk is at the front of the car and the engine is at the rear. People were trying to race us and when we parked at the restaurant people were taking pictures of it. HA!

Date night at Mi Cocina! We LOVE this restaurant so much! Their margaritas are dangerous...they are called Mambo Taxi's and you are only allowed to order 3. I have never been able to drink more than 2! It was a much needed date night...our schedules have been so opposite and crazy lately and all of our time and energy has gone into our home so it was nice to get out and have a little fun :)

Hope ya'll had a fabulous weekend!!

My weekend vs. my husband's weekend

Monday came entirely too fast if you ask me...I know I could have used another day or 3 off! My weekend consisted of A LOT of unpacking, organizing and a little decorating. It was our first weekend in our new house and my hubby was in Vegas celebrating his little brother's 21st birthday so I had the weekend to myself and I have to say, I got A LOT done!

I did things like organize my cupcake liners, obsessively organize my pantry, finish the kitchen, the master bedroom/closet/bathroom, unpack at least 30 boxes, vacuum and more. All very exciting.

I forgot to mention that I was without power, all alone in our new house several times on Saturday thanks to the crazy storms moving across Texas AND yesterday when I was leaving to go to the gym, my car would not start. Hmph!

Now...for a look at what my husband was doing all weekend. And for those of you who think it was crazy that I "let" him go out of town to party in Vegas 4 days after moving in...he bought his plane ticket and planned this trip with his Dad and brother months before and I am not the type to tell him he can't go. Plus, it gave me a chance to get a lot of stuff done :) I missed him but I know he had fun and I got a lot done... it is a win win. If you thought I had an exciting weekend (ha) wait till you see what his looked like...

This is the actual flyer/ad that was created by the owner of The Bank nightclub in Vegas for my brother-in-law's 21st birthday celebration. My FIL spends a lot of time in Vegas and has gotten to know him really well so they organized this big party! The party was last night...needless to say, I have not heard from my husband yet today!

The new Kardashian store in Vegas. Hubby knows of my obsession with the Kardashians so he went to this store for me :) I got a candle from their DASH store in Miami and it is one of my favorite candles so I am hoping he got me a new one!

Saturday night they partied with P Diddy, Common and Lenny Kravitz. Their table was right next to their table. This is one of the few pictures he sent to me from that night. The night before they met Jerry Jones and his entourage. Must be nice!!

I am already looking forward to this weekend....we are both home, together, at the same time! Hallelujiah!

Happy Monday, Friends! Hope yall had a great weekend!!
