Mothers Day and the BIG 29
Let me preface all of this with the statement that I have the most giving husband in the whole world. We had a really long weekend. I was in charge of decorating the church for our senior banquet on Saturday night. I spent all day Friday with my sweet hubby decorating and cleaning for the banquet. We were just absolutely exhausted when Saturday night was over because we literally have had one responsibility after another lately. Knowing that I was feeling overwhelmed and tired Guy surprised me by telling me that for Mothers Day and my Birthday (on May 12) he had made reservations at the Kemah Boardwalk Hotel for Sunday night after church. He even made arrangements for a friend to keep Aspen over night!! So, I was super excited and then Sunday afternoon Aspen came down with a fever and was acting really cranky. I did not think I would have a good time in a hotel knowing she was not feeling good so I asked Guy if we could bring her along. His response was, "she's my baby girl and I don't mind her being with us". We were worried she would have a bad time but when we got to Kemah she was actually really happy. For those of you that don't know, Kemah is a little town with a Boardwalk and amusement park right on the water. It is beautiful and has a lot of shopping and restaurants. The room Guy reserved had a balcony and when we walked in we could hear music playing from a band outside. Aspen was so excited and we sat outside and listened to the music. Monday morning we got up and drank a cup of coffee right on the water and enjoyed watching the waves. Aspen was so excited and kept running up and down the boardwalk screaming. All in all it was a great mother' day and birthday. My mom even made me a cake like she has every year. I love her cakes because she decorates them herself! Someone asked if I enjoyed our date night with Aspen with us. I couldn't help but say yes. I absolutely love being with my little family. Things are just not as much fun without my baby girl!

I am glad that you enjoyed your mothers day/birthday. Miss lots girl. Also your present is on it's way.
How sweet! That is great you got out. I wanted to write you about your banquet and ask how it went. And your birthday! Though we didn't send an e-mail, we put a card in the mail that day!! We were thinking about you...and you'll know that in about a month or so when you get your card! We love you all so much!

Glad yall got to have a fun night out. As much as we complain about the trials of motherhood, we wouldn't trade our babies for anything in the world. They make life so much more fun!! Hey, you did know that Paul's photo on his blog was doctored, right? just checking. I wasn't sure if you realized it was a joke. Love you guys, melanie
