4th of July, 3 Birthdays, and an Anniversary!

Hope everyone how a wonderful 4th of July! Yesterday we celebrated the 4th of July, my paw paw's 80th birthday, my dad and uncles birthday, and my grandparents 60th anniversary all at ONE party! All of their birthdays and my grandparents anniversary lands in the month of July. Talk about a busy month!

My grandparents had the party at their house....I made the invitations for the party! They had around 50 guests show up....all of my dad's side of the family came and a lot of their church friends. We had brisket, chicken, beans, potato salad, chips, and dips for lunch. It was good! 

Here is my grandparent's anniversary cake that my mom bought! She was SO proud of herself that she arranged this table ALL by herself too! She framed old pictures to put on the table!

My grandparents in their younger days!

About to cut their cake! We even made them kiss! Ha!

Practicing my photography skills again, ha!

My Paw Paw's cake....my aunt found him a hat that said the same thing! We had A LOT of cake to eat!

Yep...that's right....we put 80 candles on the cake! Talk about a fire hazard!

My cousins helped him blow out his candles!

My dad and his brother's cake!

My aunt gave my dad this shirt for his birthday....it's perfect! His name is not Bob but we call him Bob because he is just like his father, ha! We waited till we got home for him to open it because I don't think his parents know we call him that! He loved it Michelle!

BOB being BOB

After the party I met up with my friend Kristan for dinner! Kristan is home for the summer for work. We went to Johnny Carinos for dinner! It was SOO good seeing her! I have missed her! : )

Miss Kristan

Afterwards, we went to Sam Houston Race Park to bet on horses and watch a firework show!  What a great way to spend the 4th! We didn't know we had to pay to park and we didn't have any cash on us (just debit cards) so they let us in FREE! How nice! We had a lot of fun! 

I won 3 dollars!!! BIG MONEY!

FIREWORKS!!!!

I love this picture!

It took us FOREVER to leave the race track. We sat in the parking lot for about 50 minutes in traffic. We had fun though jamming out to music! It was great seeing you Kristan! Can't wait till you move back! 

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July Weekend!!!! Sorry this post was SOO long!

Mother's Day 2010

Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday I went back home for the night for Mother's Day! Last night my parents and I first went to my Grandma C's house (my dad's parents) to visit!

Me with my Grandparents - my Grandpa will be 80 this summer!

Afterwards, we met my moms side of the family at Chuy's for dinner! It was a lot of fun....our family is crazy! Whoever marries in better be ready! Ha! I forgot to get a pic with my mom's parents! :(

Me and my mom

Today my mom and I went to get manicures! For Mother's Day I gave my mom Laura Bush's new book and a coupon to come visit me this summer for a fun weekend in College Station!

Hope y'all all had a wonderful Mother's Day! : )

Random Post....Birthday Lunch, an Elk, Good Deeds, and Bangle Bracelets!

Today we celebrated my Grandma's birthday here in College Station. My parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all came down today to celebrate too. We all went to Texas Roadhouse this afternoon to eat...it was good! Afterwards, we came back to my cousin Caitlin's apartment to have chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberry's! Yum!

Me and my Grandma Katherine

I had to share these two pictures with ya'll...I thought it was hilarious!! This evening as Caitlin and I were sitting in traffic to go to the A&M tent sale we saw these two guys walking across the street with this....

We started cracking up....only in College Station, Texas you would see this!!
I had to roll down my window to ask for a close up picture! They were thrilled we wanted a picture. Ha! They said, "REALLY you want a picture"?? They loved it! Ha!

I am thinking it is an Elk. What do you think?
Isn't that hysterical???

As we were coming home from the tent sale we were about two cars behind this guy riding on a street bike. All of a sudden we see all of this money go flying out of his back pocket....so we pulled over to pick it up. (We were not on a main highway....just the little street that our apartment is on). There was about 40 bucks laying on the ground along with his wallet. Thankfully he pulled into our apartment complex because he was going too fast to catch up with him. He was so happy that we picked it up...he didn't even know he lost it. Soo that was are good deed for the day!!!

My cousin Caitlin and I bought ribbon last week to wrap around these bangle bracelets to wear to the A&M football games. Caitlin ended making them the other day....didn't they turn out cute?!


Hope you all had a good weekend! I do not have Labor Day off tomorrow...I have school in the morning!! :(

Back in College Station

This afternoon I made it back to College Station. I have been home the past two weeks subbing a little and just relaxing. It has been so nice not to have to worry about school! But....that's over. I start summer school tomorrow at 9:30 in the morning :( I don't think it will be too bad though. Tonight Caitlin's boyfriend made us chicken tetrazzini and garlic bread. It was very good! Caitlin has found her a winner since he knows how to cook! Ha!

This weekend we went to go visit my grandpa in the hospital in Houston. He has been having really back headaches....they thought he had a stroke. But, in the CAT scan an old stroke showed up. Now there thinking he has the shingles. He's doing better though. He was talking up a storm when we went to go visit him. Hopefully he will get to go home sometime this week.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day!

Caitlin and I left College Station today around 12:00 to drive to The Woodlands to go eat lunch with my Mom, both set of Grandma's, two of my Aunts, and my cousin Lauren. My dad stayed at home and fixed steaks for my two Grandpa's. We went to Landry's Seafood Restaurant on the river walk. They had a huge buffet set up for Mother's Day with tons of fish, shrimp, salads, soups, and desserts. I am soo stuffed now! Afterwards, we had to leave pretty quick because I still have two more finals to study for. Ahh.... I can not wait for Wednesday! Here are some more pictures we took at Landrys.
