Memorial Day Weekend

This year, Memorial Day = Samuel's 1st Birthday. Of course, I was super excited to get to throw my son his first birthday party. Both of our families and adopted Aunt Brandie and Uncle Nate came. It was a bubble theme. I made a triple layer cake with blue bubbles on it and we had a bubble machine (that I sort of forgot about till halfway through the party). We grilled up hamburgers and chicken patties and ate to our stomach's content. Unfortunately, I was really lame taking pictures.



Here is the all-important, eating-of-the-cake picture. I tried to make a little individual cake just for him, unfortunately it didn't turn out (which is why we ended up with a triple layer cake). At first he was unsure what to do, but once he realized he was allowed to smush and play with it, there was no stopping him.

He also got a lot of great gifts, which his Dad and Uncles had fun playing with...


Happy Birthday Dearest Samuel.

Tomorrow is our third year wedding anniversary. As a little treat, Grandma Walser had Samuel come over last Friday while Carlin and I treated ourselves to a hotel by Bricktown. We saw Night at the Museum 2, rode on the canal boats, walked hand-in-hand down the sidewalk, and went to Hooters. Yep, that's right. We weren't that hungry for dinner since we had eaten at La Luna for lunch and we didn't want to go to a really nice restaurant and order just a salad, so we ended up at Hooters. It was my first time there.

We stayed at the Colcord Hotel, it was okay, but I am in no hurry to get back.

There was one more thing we did... We bought a couch!


Happy Anniversary to me! I love you Carlin - Happy Anniversary.

P.S. The couch came with those pillows - isn't that just fabulous!
