Whirlwind (Finally Caught Up)

This past weekend was a whirlwind! We had a blast but it does feel nice to finally just sit down and relax. Friday Justin worked and Ascher and I were super productive. I knew we needed to leave soon after Justin got home so I hurried around cleaning, packing and doing laundry. We ran some errands, got Aschers hair cut and before we knew it - Justin was home. 

We drove to Kingwood and just hung out Friday night. Mom got Ascher a new backpack full of his favorite...balls!!! He loved it! He kept going back to the backpack to get more balls out of it. It was cute. 

Saturday morning Mom made breakfast and we all took it easy. Mom was throwing a Grandma shower for one of her friends and I had April's baby shower. April is one of my oldest friends. We became friends in 6th grade Sunday School and have remained friends since then. We went to Brittney Spears Hit Me Baby One More Time tour together, church camps, drives in her convertible and just were together. There were four of us. "The Butterflies!" - Christie, Elissa, April & Me. I have blogged about them before. April is having a little girl due July 18. I can hardly wait! Little girls are so much fun!

After the shower we drove to Pearland to spend the night with Daniel & Megan. Her baby shower was on the same day and the same time so we missed the shower but it was almost better what we did cause we got to talk and go through all her presents with her and separate into piles. She is due July 1 and is having a little boy! I can't wait for him to get here either!! All these babies coming at the same time!

Today we drove home and relaxed for a few hours before we headed to the Cokers to eat steak!! The in-laws were in town to meet with architect again so we ate together. It was beautiful outside and they have a huge backyard so we all played outside until the food was ready. It was sooo good! Eric made a marinade and then a sauce to put on the steak after it was cooked too. DELICIOUS!! It was like a restaurant! After dinner we all went back outside and let the kids play some more. Taylor took some photos on her good camera of the kids on the tree house- I'll have to get them from her later!
