The Past Month in Pictures

The day after Scott's birthday, we went to dinner with Chris, Katie, Macee, and our good friends Daniel, and Ashley! Scott requested sushi for his bday dinner so we headed off to one of our fave Austin sushi spots! Dinner was devine and the company of family and friends completed the evening!

The 30th Birthday Boy!

and, his #1 fan!

Happy Birthday "Ott"!

Katie and Chris

The Sahl's -- a very funny Daniel and sweet Ashley

The weekend after Mother's Day, we all headed to the lake to spend a belated Mother's Day w/Scott's mama, Susan! It was a weekend that usually doesn't come around too often - a weekend where Susan was able to have her children, spouses, and grandchildren all under one roof! We enjoyed the weekend so much and look forward to more lake weekends with our growing family!!!

Fishing anyone?

Have you ever seen a sweeter face? I had to take a picture of Macee
in this outfit b/c I dressed her from head to toe and was

very proud of myself -- she loos like a doll!!!

Happy Birthday to Steve...

and, Happy Birthday to Scott!

Grammy & Macee!

Lisa, baby Haylie, and Chad -- cute little family!

We can't wait to meet this baby girl in August!

Memorial Day Weekend was a fun one! We had almost everyone up at the lake (me, Scott, Chris, Katie, Macee, Lisa, Chad, Haylie, Susan, Meemaw, and Scott's Aunt Nancy and Uncle Phillip)! We missed ya'll, Michelle & Steve! I didn't take too many pics, but as you can see, once again, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!

The weekend was mostly cloudy, but when Monday rolled around, it was sunny and HOT! A perfect day to be in the water all day! And, I was feeling it a week later w/sunburns like I haven't had in a very long time! OUCH!

What a handsome man!

You can't keep this boy away from the water!

Macee, the water is this way!!!

Haylie is not too sure what to think about being out in the hot sun!

My SILs Katie & Lisa, baby Haylie, and Me!

(Yes, Katie does have a prego belly w/drawings done in black Sharpie!

The masterpiece was done by soon-to-be daddy Chris!)

Finally, the last weekend of May, Scott and I headed to Wichita Falls to visit my parents. Tim and Amber drove in from Lubbock, so it turned out being a little family reunion! The guys golfed all day on Sat. while the gals got pedis and shopped! We were able to eat at some of our fave WF restaurants and then we watched our fave singer, Seth, play downtown on Sat. night! To top it off, we were able to hug the necks of two adorable people who we have set up! My friend Bridget, from Tech, and Seth's brother, Brad, have been dating long distance since April and they are in love!!!! This sweet story of matchmaking & blind dates kind of reminds me of two other kids in love...hmmm...who could that be? ;)

The two matchmakers w/a giddy girl in LOVE!

Mom and Dad came out w/us too!

I love this pic...we had a fun weekend together!

We always love seeing this duo sing!

The CUTE COUPLE!

May was a fun and busy month!!!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

A couple weeks ago, Scott helped me dig up an area where I've wanted to plant flowers forever! I am proud of my "green thumb"!

The area could still stand to use some more foliage...maybe I can add to it on my day off on Friday!

p.s. I want to garden when I retire! :)

After:

and oh, by the way, my OCD kicked in -- I made a "plan" of where

all my plants were going to be planted before I put them in the ground!

Please lift up in prayer...

Please lift up in prayer a friend's wife who was in an accident last Friday evening.

Sasha Denman was burned over 15-20% of her body and is in Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Sasha is married to Jeff Denman, a long time friend of Tim's -- they graduated HS together in the Falls.

Please pray for Sasha's strength, as she will be undergoing a lot of treatments/surgeries for awhile and please pray for Jeff and the rest of their families -- that the Lord gives them peace in their hearts during such a tough time. God is good!!!

Sasha and Jeff's sister in law, Ruth, is keeping up with her progress, so feel free to visit:

D.C.

What a long-overdue post!

The last weekend of April, I surprised Scott w/his early 30th bday present -- a trip to D.C.!!! I had this trip planned since Dec. '08 and couldn't WAIT to let him in on it! It took a lot of preparing so that Mr. Birthday Boy would not find out a thing! My plan was to not tell him about our trip until the day before we were to fly out, and...I pulled it off! There were so many details to take care of, but everything worked out just fine, esp getting Scott out of work for 3 days!

I led him on a sort of scavenger hunt, through our house, looking for clues in places such as our bathroom, the hallway closet, and kitchen. At the end of his search, Scott found an envelope w/a poem I had written him and our e-tickets for the flights! He was soooo surprised! He even told my dad, on the phone, "I haven't stopped smiling!" Awwww!

We had a great time being tourists and seeing the sights - from museums to memorials - it was a fun trip! We were blessed to have been able to stay w/my Aunt Theresa and Uncle Don too - they were the BEST hosts!!! Thank you so much for your hospitality, ya'll - we felt like we were being spoiled at a B&B! We love and miss you both!

Here are some pics from our trip! Scott had a great birthday, overall, w/dinner and a movie on his actual bday and then the next day we ate sushi w/our friends Dan and Ash, as well as Katie, Chris, and Macee. Scott has extended his bday all the way to today since he was able to go buy a much-anticipated band saw w/all his bday blessings (aka: money) from family and friends!

I'm pretty sure he's enjoying being 30!!!
